Frequently asked questions

Can't find the answer here? Our support team is happy to help.

In most cases, yes. We supply dies and roller shells for ANDRITZ pellet mills and for many models from other manufacturers, so you can bring more of your parts sourcing under one roof. Every mill is a little different, so tell us what you're running, and we'll confirm what we can offer.

The mill model is only the beginning. Your raw materials, pellet size, compression, hole pattern, and production goals all shape the die you need. It's a lot to weigh up, which is exactly where we can help. Share what you produce, and we'll help you find the right die.

Quite a range. We offer dies in various chrome steel alloys, hole patterns, compression ratios, and specifications tailored to your raw materials and operating conditions. The right combination depends on how you produce, not just what you produce. Tell us about your application, and we'll help you match the material and specifications to the job.

It comes down to how your material behaves inside the mill. The surface profile and material influence how evenly the product is fed and pressed against the die, and the right choice makes all the difference. Tell us about your application, and we'll guide you to the right roller shell.

Very often, yes. Depending on the part, we can adapt materials, dimensions, designs, and surface profiles so they suit your mill and your recipe, rather than a generic standard. Tell us what you need, and we'll explore what's possible for you.

More than most parts on the line. Together, they shape how your material is compressed and formed, which influences pellet hardness, consistency, and throughput. When both are well matched to your process, quality gets easier to hold. Want to get more from your pellets? Let's look at your setup together.

Several things play a role, including abrasive raw materials, moisture, operating conditions, alignment, and how the parts are matched to your process. Understanding what's driving the wear is the first step to slowing it down. Seeing faster wear than you'd expect? Get in touch, and we'll help you get to the bottom of it.
