What causes loose and unformed pellets in pellet mills? (1)

2026-02-12 14:18:22

In pellet machine production, it's common to encounter situations where the output pellets are short, loose, and unformed. JNSHARE, a manufacturer specializing in pellet mill parts for 20 years, has summarized the following most common causes:

1. The first consideration is the raw material. Finely ground raw materials with high pelleting strength can easily clog the machine if not handled carefully.

2. The moisture content of the raw material is generally 13%-18%. Too low or too high a moisture content will affect pellet formation. Too low a moisture content makes extrusion difficult, resulting in excessive powder.
