How can the balling rate of a pelletizer be improved?

Time：Apr 21,2021

Methods to improve the ball-forming rate of the pelletizer:

1. Ensure uniform feeding

If the material feed is insufficient, issues such as burrs, hollow spheres, or inadequate strength in the finished balls may occur. Conversely, feeding too little material can lead to difficulties in shaping the product altogether. Ensuring an adequate and continuous supply of material is essential for maintaining consistent production quality. However, it’s important to note that if the feed rate exceeds the capacity of the main machine to produce finished products, it could trigger unexpected shutdowns. Therefore, the material feed must be carefully calibrated according to the production capacity to avoid overloading the system.

2. Properly use the adhesive

If a ball press machine is considered a "kitchen appliance," then the binder acts like the seasoning used when stir-frying—crucial for bringing everything together. The amount of binder required varies depending on the material, with some materials calling for a 4%–8% addition rate, while others typically use just 2%–3%. Ultimately, determining the optimal binder ratio will require preliminary experimentation to achieve the best results.

Above, Luoyang Zhongyuan Mining Equipment's editor has shared an analysis of why ball press machines fail to form properly, along with suggestions on how to improve forming efficiency. In short, there are numerous factors that can affect the ball-pressing process, so it’s essential to analyze each customer’s specific situation carefully in order to identify the exact influencing factors and determine the most effective adjustment methods.
