1.3 Liability, warrantee, guarantee
Liability period
The warrantee amounts 12 months starting from the day when the goods are delivered.
1. Due to the particular properties of our goods and the risk of damages, the customer is
obliged to immediately check the material. Any obvious and/or perceived faults, shortages or
wrong deliveries need to be indicated at the latest within one week, in any case before
processing or installing the goods. Any further obligations of the dealer according to §§ 377,
378 HGB (Code of Commercial Law) remain unaffected.
2. Any changes which had been performed before and without approval of the customer
regarding the deliveries and performances exclude any legal claims for correction of faults.
The contractor needs to have the option to check either
a) on site
or
b) by returning the goods to the manufacturer.
If not otherwise agreed, we expressly do not grant any “On site service“!
The contractor bears any travel cost such as flight, train, car, accommodation, food in relation
to the warrantee claim.
3. In case of justified notices of defects, the contractor’s warrantee is limited to free rework
within an appropriate term. If such rework fails, a reduction, i.e. an appropriate decrease of the
purchasing price may be demanded.
4. In case of repair works the contractor assumes a warrantee only for goods which he has
delivered and services which he has performed. There is no liability for damages on deliveries
or performances of the contractor which had been caused by the subsequent suppliers or
builders.
5. Any deviations of sizes, contents, thicknesses, weights and colors are allowed in the frame of
the tolerances which are customary in trade. The dimensional tolerances which are customary
in trade are also applicable for the cut.

6. Any warrantee claims against us are excluded if we cannot be held liable due to intension or
gross negligence (also by a legal representative or by an assistant) or due to missing of
expressively assured properties. This disclaimer concerns claims of damages due to
impossibility of performance, default, positive breach of contract, default during contract
negotiations, warrantee, impermissible actions and damages of rights of property of others.
The liability is only based on these terms of delivery and payment.
7. In case of a warrantee claim the contractor is obliged to replace or repair parts in his sole
discretion which turn out to be useless or considerably impaired in their function due to a factor
which has taken place before the passing of risk. In this case the contractor has to bear the
directly occurring cost for the parts which need to be replaced as well as the forwarding
expenses. Any other cost need to be born by the customer. The liability for performed repair
works or delivered spare parts is only applicable until expiry of the warrantee term for the
original delivery.
1.3.1 Disclaimer
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damages which are resulting from misuse of the
device or machine or from the non-compliance with the technical documentation.

PELLET MILL DESCRIPTION
The MÜNCH RMP-series pellet mill is suitable for a wide range of applications. Dies are ordered and
manufactured based on the factory testing of your raw material. By matching the die and rollers to the
size and species of your raw material, you can expect a high quality pellet – even when running the
harshest applications like wood waste or composites.
The MÜNCH RMP-series pellet mill features two single speed motors which drive the main shaft with a
series of V-belts. During start-up, the speed can be varied by adjusting the control panel ammeter. The
dual motor design provides a smooth and steady operation. Because the motors are on opposite sides of
the main shaft, the lateral load is neutralized which enables a longer main shaft bearing life.
The material is fed into the feeder/conditioner which homogenizes the raw material with any necessary
additive. It then is fed to the die through a gravity chute.

shipped to you in component parts: the pellet mill body, the feeder/conditioner, the motors, the die, the
feed cone, and the belts.
Even if you don’t intend to install the equipment immediately, thoroughly inspect all of the equipment upon
receipt. Report any damage or missing materials within 48 hours to the freight carrier and to your pellet
mill supplier.
During installation and start-up, reinspect the equipment for any previously undiscovered shipping
damage. Notify your supplier if you find any additional damage.
The weights noted on the chart above are only approximations.
Be sure that your lifting straps or chains are rated appropriately for each piece of equipment. Lifting points
will be noted on each piece of equipment as it is shipped.
All lifting straps, whether chains or nylon slings, should be equipped with a latch hook.
Use noted lifting points or shipping pallets/dunnage when lifting the machine components.
When lifting, do not apply the sling to machined surfaces such as the main shaft.

4.3 Safety concept

The drive unit including the reversing lever is secured against unauthorized access by an
overall protective hood.
The milling chamber is completely closed and may only be attained via the service opening.
A safety switch is mounted at the service opening.
When this safety switch is released, all conveyors supplying and discharging the cooler
immediately need to be stopped.
Attention:
When entering or gripping into the opened, unsecured cooler there is a risk of crushing due to
uncontrolled starting of the discharge!
The cooler needs to be imperatively switched dead and depressurized and secured against
unintentional switching on by third persons e.g. by a switch on site, a padlock on the main
switch, removing the fuses, etc.
In case of:
- Disassembly of the protective hood of the drive shafts
- When working on the hydraulic, pneumatic or electrical drive
- When entering the cooling chamber
- When setting the distribution covering
- When setting maintaining or servicing the discharge plates
The responsible planner of the control has to make sure the correct operating mode and
implementation of the safety precautions which need to be observed. This is not the obligation
of the manufacturer since all our coolers are components which do not work independently and
which are delivered without proper control.
The operator of the machine has to draw up an installation-specific risk analysis for each case
of application and any determinations resulting hereof according to the requirements of
demands in safe operation according to the applicable standards and statutory provisions need
to be adapted and implemented.
Any service and maintenance works need to be performed solely by authorized staff!
Authorized persons are:
 Service engineer of the manufacturer
 Persons instructed by the manufacturer in the frame of a proper assembly and/or

commissioning
The manufacturer does not take any liability and guarantee for inadmissible changes,
disregarding of applicable safety regulations as well as improper operation!

7.2 INSTALLATION
There is an assembly/installation drawing for each piece of equipment that requires assembly.
Refer to these drawings to find overall dimensional information as well as the information
necessary for installing the equipment.
SAFETY WARNING: The pellet mill and the feeder/conditioner have a combined weight of
11,227Lbs. Take care to be sure that your lifting equipment and the floor foundation are
strength rated for this weight.
33 von 112
Muench
www.muench-gmbh.com
7.2.1 PELLET MILL PEDESTAL
The foundation pedestal for the Pellet Mill should have a flat, level concrete surface. It should
be engineered to support at least 6 tons – more if you plan on supporting the end of the
sawdust feed conveyor on the pellet mill conditioner.
Between the pellet mill feet and the concrete pedestal, we recommend that you use rubber
isolation pads or a similar shock absorber to minimize the vibrations present during normal
operation. Multiple layers of reinforced rubber may be used as shown in Figure 2 below.
Isolation Pads - Figure 2
34 von 112
Muench
www.muench-gmbh.com
7.2.2 INSTALLATION and OPERATION CLEARANCE
In a perfect world, you would have the space to drive a forklift all the way around the pellet mill.
Unfortunately, most facilities are not physically large enough to permit such extravagance. The
minimum clearances noted here allow for maintenance – both daily maintenance and the
occasional heavy maintenance for items such as changing out dies, bearings, v-belts, or
perhaps even a drive motor.
The pellet mill should have at least 3’ clearance from all surfaces in any horizontal direction.
The front of the mill should have at least enough clearance to open the hinged die panel with
the purge spout attached. 4 to 6 feet is best, 3’ is minimum.
Vertical clearance should allow enough space to lift a motor off of either side of the mill for
replacement. With that in mind, allow at least 3’ vertical plus whatever clearance your plant
lifting equipment requires to move the motor. If your system includes the feeder/conditioner,
add 2’ vertical clearance above the top of the mill.
When installing electrical conduit and additive plumbing, it is important to insure that the various
equipment access areas are not blocked.
35 von 112
Muench
www.muench-gmbh.com
7.2.3 STRAY METAL PROTECTION
It is possible that bolts, washers, nuts, or even tools have found their way into the feedstock.
Because the roller/die gap is very small, if this tramp metal makes its way into the roller/die
area, damage will occur. There is also a possibility of human injury. An effective means of
preventing this potential problem should be implemented prior to start-up.
A magnet has been provided in the feeder/conditioner. Care must be taken to assure that the
magnet in the feeder/conditioner is kept clean or wood dust will accumulate in that area
eventually rendering the magnet ineffective. This magnet is not intended to function as a whole
system metal barrier. We recommend that additional preventative measures be implemented.
7.2.4 SAFETY CUTOFF SWITCH
The pellet mill features a switch that automatically cuts the power when the front panel swing
door is opened (see figure 3). Never the less, always follow OSHA lockout/tagout procedures
when doing any work on the pellet mill and/or the associated equipment.
7.3 V-BELT INSTALLATION
V-belts are used to drive the pellet mill die. 11 belts from each motor are installed through the
front of the machine.
1) Open the front panel swing door to expose the die chamber.
2) Retract the knives as far as possible.
3) Remove the main door seal from the front of the pellet mill housing.
36 von 112
Muench
www.muench-gmbh.com
4) One at a time, wrap the belts around the die housing and then feed them through the
gap exposed in step 2 (between the quill shaft and the front of the pellet mill housing).
5) Position each belt around the large main pellet mill sheave.
6) Stretch the back 11 belts to wrap around the sheave of the right motor.
7) Stretch the front 11 belts to wrap around the sheave of the left motor.
8) Final adjustment of belt alignment and tension is described in the Maintenance section
of this manual.

7.3.1 INLET CONNECTION
The raw material (wood chips and/or sawdust) is fed into the conditioner from a surge bin via a
three screw auger system. Because each installation is somewhat unique, the transition chute
from auger to conditioner should be fabricated in the field. The conditioner inlet dimensions are
shown on the conditioner drawing which is included with this guide.
7.3.2 CONDITIONER and ADDITIVE
In most applications, adding a liquid such as soy oil or lignin helps to make a better pellet.
Normally, this additive is introduced to the raw material in the conditioner.
For practical purposes, the conditioner is a paddle mixer. Its purpose is to thoroughly mix the
raw material with the additive. It is mounted directly on top of the pellet mill with provisions
already made for the conditioner to discharge a homogenized material into the pellet mill.
Paddle adjustment and conditioner maintenance is described in the Conditioner Maintenance
Guide.
7.3.3 PELLET MILL DISCHARGE
The pellets are discharged via a gravity chute to a drag conveyor. It is recommended that the
transition from chute to conveyor have a door so that you can remove pellets for quality control
testing. The transition should be fabricated in the field.
Keep in mind that the gravity chute is part of the pellet mill door so the transition should be
fabricated in such a manner that the door can be opened for maintenance such as die changes,
roller alignment, etc.
38 von 112
Muench

7.3.4 ELECTRICAL SAFETY NOTES
In all industrial applications, OSHA requires that you are able to Lock Out the power to
equipment. This includes pneumatic, hydraulic, and electrical power. You must be able to turn
off the power at the source and lock it so that no one can inadvertently turn the power on during
maintenance or installation.
Each person involved in maintenance or installation must be able to add locks to the power
source so that even if one worker removes his lock, the power cannot be turned on until all of
the other worker’s locks are removed.
7.4 Special safety notes for the first commissioning
Before the trial run all rotating parts need to be protected against unintentional contact
according to the accident prevention regulations.

down, you start the components in the following order:
1) Conveyor from Screener to Pellet Storage Bin
2) Cooler and Screener
3) Conveyor from Pellet Mills to Cooler
4) Pellet Mills
5) Conditioner
6) Metering Bin
7) Additive system
The order of system Shutdown is the reverse of the Start-up sequence.

7.5.1 START-UP LUBRICATION
The system should be fully lubricated upon receipt. However, it is important (especially if the
machine is used or has sat a long time) to confirm that all bearings are properly lubricated.
Grease points are noted in the drawings included in the maintenance section of this guide. The
systems that include automatic greasing are addressed below.
7.5.2 START-UP and OPERATION
 Lock out the power to the pellet mill before opening the press door.
 Open the press door.
 Check the conditioner, feeder, and die chamber for steel parts or any foreign materials.
 Confirm the positioning and tightness of the die holder and bolts.
7.5.3 START-UP and OPERATION
 Check and (if necessary) lubricate all motors, gear reducers, gearboxes, etc.
 Also, lubricate the Rollers and Main Shaft bearings.
 Check the V-belt tension and adjust it if necessary.
 Turn the die by hand to confirm that all is clear.
 Make certain that all doors, guards, and covers are securely in place.
41 von 112
Muench
www.muench-gmbh.com
 Let the feeder run at a low RPM.
7.5.4 Start the Main Drive
 Check the direction of rotation of the die. In MÜNCH presses, the die should turn
clockwise when viewed from the front of the die.
 Adjust the rollers as described in the section entitled Roller Adjustment on page 7.
Both rollers must turn lightly with the die, but they should have a minimum amount of
contact with the die.
 After confirming that all parts of the press turn freely, turn off the drive.
 The press should never run longer than necessary without material as this will cause
premature wear on the die and rollers.
 Close the press door. Confirm that your metering bin above the feeder has
adequate material and that the material flows properly.
 Drain the steam pipe to prevent moisture from entering the conditioner.
 Before re-installing the feed cone, run enough material through the feeder and
conditioner in order to flush any metal scraps remaining from the installation
process.

8. Operation
8.1 Special safety notes regarding the operation
8.2 Begin Production
 Start up all machinery involved in the order noted previously on page.
 Next start the Pellet Mill drive and the conditioner drive.
 Using existing pellets of diameter equal to that of the die and mixed with 20% oil,
begin slowly feeding into the press via the control opening in the pellet door.
 Catch the resulting material at the outlet of the press and re-feed it until pellets come
out of the die instead of powder.
 Run slowly at the beginning so that a minimum of material enters the conditioner
and then the die.
 Do not add water or steam and let the dry material enter slowly until all of the die
holes are filled.
 Slowly increase the material flow, all the while monitoring the amp-meter until the
drive reaches full load.
 Introduce the additive in small doses until pellets come out of the machine.
Remember that there is a time lag between adding moisture and seeing the results
at the out feed point.
43 von 112
Operation
Muench
www.muench-gmbh.com
 A short time after beginning the additive introduction (after all of the dry material has
passed), you will begin to see a reduction in power consumption at the amp-meter.
 Control the raw material flow and additive introduction so that the press runs at full
load.
 The mixture is right when the pellets (while rolled between the finger and thumb)
have the consistency of chewing gum and the press runs at full load.
8.2.1 Begin Production (continued)
IMPORTANT:
 Until the steam installation and the conditioner have reached the right temperature, it
is possible that excessive condensation will make the material too wet. If there is
too much moisture, the material may run through the die and roller and plug the die.
Should this occur, the steam and raw material feed should be stopped immediately
and the press shut off. After the die chamber is cleaned out, repeat the Begin
Production procedure with dry material. Limit the introduction of additive based on
what you learned in the initial run.
 Each raw material mixture will have different requirements. Starting moisture
content, fiber content, and additive content all will influence the feeder speed and
additional steam requirements.
 Always start up a new die slowly. Do not increase the raw material addition until
after the amp-meter is steady.
44 von 112
Operation
Muench
www.muench-gmbh.com
 If a die is blocked, it needs to be pressed or drilled out before it can be re-used.

Sometimes, pre-finished pellets can be run through the machine (as noted above) to
clear the die.
 After a long downtime period (several hours or more) you should begin pelletizing
slowly because the pellets remaining in the die will have cooled and hardened. Only
after those pellets have been pressed out and the die is warm will you be able to run
again at the optimal capacity.
 The start-up and operation procedure will improve based on your implementation of
the outlined procedures and the experience gleaned from your own operation. A
skilled and experienced operator will soon be able to warm up the press to an
optimum condition in a short time.
 Your MÜNCH die has been manufactured and polished at the factory. However,
most raw materials polish the die even finer than is possible with modern machinery.
Therefore, the best performance will be achieved after several hours of breaking in
the new die.
 If a die with hole diameters of 13mm (1/2”) or larger is used, it may be difficult (even
with a very wet mixture) to fill the holes and start production. If this is the case, you
may need to cover the holes with several layers of masking tape so that the holes
can quickly be filled with pressed material.
 Once the die is broken in and warm, you will be able to control the material flow and
moisture addition in such a way that the desired pellet quality will be achieved and
the press will run at optimum capacity.
 As noted previously, when he gains experience, the press operator will be able to
more effectively control the quality and quantity of your operation.
45 von 112
Operation
Muench
www.muench-gmbh.com
 The amp-meter was installed for safety reasons and so allows you to safely use the
press at the optimum rate. The display varies depending on the V-belt tension.
 You will achieve and maintain the optimal performance if the operation, lubrication,
and maintenance are done consistently according to instructions.
8.2.2 Pellet Mill Shut Down
When shutting down for repairs or end of shift, proceed as follows:
 Turn off the steam injection and the feeder drive; this will stop the addition of raw
material.
 Let the conditioner run until it is empty and then turn it off.
 Stop the press and turn it on again several times in order to empty the die chamber
completely.
 In the event that the equipment will be turned off for an extended period of time, or if
the die is to be changed, fill the holes of the die with oily material as noted in the
section `Storing the Die’.
 Manually grease the rollers to protect them from humidity and dirt (this is not
necessary with an oil cooled system).

Operation
Muench
www.muench-gmbh.com
8.3 Pellet Press Greasing System
 The Münch press rollers are greased via the main shaft accessed from the back of
the press. The press can be running during the greasing operation.
 Because of the high temperatures generated by wood pellet presses, we

recommend thermally stable, high temperature grease. This will maximize the life of
the roller.
 The grease should have the following properties:
o It should not build deposits

o It should be able to handle high pressure
o It should stay put and be water resistant
o It should protect against corrosion
o It should have good sealing ability
o It should maintain its’ soft consistency regardless of temperature
o It should be suitable for high speed applications
o It should remain stable over long periods of time

8.4 Pellet Oil Hydraulic Greasing System
8.4.1 Oil Hydraulic System General Information
The lifespan and functioning of the hydraulic systems and their components depend on
the proper installation, use, and maintenance of the system. You will have a minimum
of problems if you consider the following:
 The specific installation and operation of each component

 The data provided with the equipment
 The guidelines of the “Start-up and Maintenance of Hydraulic Systems”
8.4.2 Preparation for Installation
 Thoroughly clean the machine and surrounding area. Keep them clean and clean them
regularly.
 For the hydraulic fluids, pay special attention to avoid getting dirt or moisture into the
fluid reservoir. When filling, use a fine filter to keep contaminants out of the fluid. If the
fluid reservoir is painted inside, be sure that the paint is non-reactive to the fluid.
 Keep any spare parts filled or coated with corrosion protection fluid.
 Confirm that the complete order of parts is on hand and that they weren’t damaged
during shipping.

8.4.3 Installation
 Do not tighten any connections excessively or use violent means (such as pounding or
dropping) to make any pipe or machine connections fit.
 Do not use heat or glue for sealing any connections. This can result in contamination
and, potentially, equipment failure. Instead, follow the recommendations of the
connection manufacturer. We recommend that you use connectors with integral elastic
seals.
 Confirm the correct location of all conduit and tubing.
 Make sure that all cables are positioned in such a way that will prevent wear from
contact with other equipment.
 Use the correct hydraulic fluids for each application (DIN 24318, 51 524; ISO VG 51519;
and for high temps use DIN24317).
 Reconfirm the consistency of the hydraulic fluid, the operating temperature range, and the
integrity of all component seals.

Operation
Muench
www.muench-gmbh.com
8.4.4 Start-Up of the Oil-Hydraulic
 When starting the oil-hydraulic system for the first time, the pressure valve should not
be fully opened. This prevents system damage and the resulting leakage that will occur.
 The grease system must be checked for leakage. When starting up with an oil
temperature of 45C, the oil pressure should be set at approximately 5 bars.
 During operation, the oil will heat up and become more liquid which should reduce the
system pressure to approximately 1 to 2 bars.
 A low pressure of 2 bars is enough to provide the necessary circulation, Generally, to

avoid overloading the system, it is best to keep the pressure regulated with the valve set
as low as possible.
 The pump is protected by a level sensor which both provides an indication of and
regulates the oil level.
 There is also a visual and electrical display to remind the operator/maintenance to

exchange the filter element.

8.9 Diagnostics and identification of error states
8.9.1 Water in the press:
 Dirty or jammed regulation valve.
 Valve or door is not fully closed.
8.9.2 Machine turns off:
 Press is overloaded, too much material flow.
 Safety shut-off switch engaged.
 Shear pin is broken.
 Oil temperature is too low (preventing start-up).
 System overload (grease run is jammed, oil filter dirty, oil too cold, and/or mis-
adjusted pressure limitation valve).
 Oil pressure too low (leak in grease system).
 Oil level in tank is too low (pump safety switch turns on, low oil level); check for
bearing and/or seal damage at any of the rollers.
Note: In the event of a damaged bearing, the roller seal will be damaged and may
allow oil to enter the press chamber, causing dirt to jam the filter element. It is important
to change the damaged roller immediately. Also, check the filter element and replace it
if necessary.
8.9.3 Water or Steam in the Press
Even using a filter, dirt and contamination may infiltrate and compromise a seal on
the regulation valve. Generally, this can be cleared by multiple operations of the
regulation device. Please always close the all manual shutoff devices when turning
off the press.

10. DIE REMOVAL and REPLACEMENT
Note: Before proceeding, adjust the rollers in to their smallest diameter, remove the feed cone, and fully
retract the plows and knives so that you can remove the die as described below.
For machines with integrated die-hoist: attach the hoist to the die and secure the die with a fixing
screw against unintended loosening.
For machines without integrated die-hoist: you can use an eye screw screwed into the die together
with standard lifting accessories to assemble and disassemble the die more easily e.g..
Note: Prior to beginning the following procedure, the machine should be turned off and locked out using
an OSHA approved `Lock out/Tag out’ procedure.
Step 1 Step 2
1) Remove the Hex bolts and washers that attach the die to the quill shaft from the back of the quill shaft
housing.
2) Tapped holes are provided for pushing the die/stiffener ring assembly out of the wear ring. Use an
M20x 150 DIN 561 hex bolt and push the die out of the seat in the quill shaft wear ring in small
increments, working your way around in a star pattern (e.g.: start at top, then to 5:00, then to 10:00,
then to 3:00, then to 8:00, etc.).
Step 3
3) Sometimes, the die is bound to the wear ring in the quill shaft. In that case, use a small port-a-pac
type cylinder to push the die loose. Again, it is important to move the die in small increments, and to
work your way around the assembly in a star pattern.

3a) Once the die/stiffener ring assembly is free of the quill shaft, remove the stiffener plate bolts and
separate the assembly.
Note: Before installing the new die, thoroughly clean and inspect all surfaces including (but not limited
to) the tapered wear ring. Replace any worn or damaged parts before proceeding as described
below. ALWAYS USE NEW BOLTS when installing the die.
Step 4 Step 5
4) Screw 4 pcs. dowels (erection bolts) into the fastening screw thread of the die for assembling the die.
This eases the alignment during assembling of die and rotor.
5) Use the dowels to align the die onto the quill shaft and, using a dead blow mallet, gently tap the die
into the tapered wear ring. Work around the stiffener ring in a star pattern to assure that there is no
binding.
Step 6 Step 7
6) Once the die is well seated, you may remove the alignment dowels.

Step 1 Step 2
1) Remove all of the socket head cap screws that hold the Tapered Wear Ring to the quill shaft.
2) Tapped holes are provided for pushing the Tapered Wear Ring assembly out of the quill shaft. Use an
M24 x 120 DIN 561 bolt and push the ring out of the seat in the quill shaft in small increments, working
your way around in a star pattern (e.g.: start at top, then to 5:00, then to 10:00, then to 3:00, then to
8:00, etc.)
Step 3 Step 4
3) After making sure that all of the surfaces are clean, use M14 x 75 DIN 912 socket head cap screws to
pull the wear ring into the quill shaft seat – again, in small increments, using the aforementioned star
pattern. If necessary, use a dead-blow mallet and tap the ring into place, still following a star pattern.
4) One at a time, remove the long bolts and replace them with the correct length bolts – ALWAYS USE
NEW BOLTS when replacing the Tapered Wear Ring.
4a) Replace the die by following steps (4) through (8) of the DIE REMOVAL and REPLACEMENT
section of this guide.

12. PELLET LENGTH/KNIFE ADJUSTMENT
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3
1) Loosen the knife tightening knob, allowing you to raise or lower the knife.
2) Move the locking lever approximately 90 degrees in a counterclockwise direction.
3) To shorten the length of your pellets, push the knife in as shown above, then move the locking lever
back 90 degrees in the clockwise direction.
4) After checking the pellet length, you may need to readjust it. Loosen the locking lever by moving it
approximately 90 degrees in a counterclockwise direction.
5) To lengthen the pellet, pull the knife up as shown in Step 4, then lock the knife in position by moving
the locking lever back 90 degrees clockwise.
6) When you are satisfied with the pellet length, fully tighten the knob. Use a Sharpie or similar fine point
marker to make a fiduciary mark on the adjustment shaft. This will enable quicker set-up after each
die change.

13. PLOW ADJUSTMENT
Note: The plows push a constant flow of sawdust into the die in a uniform fashion to allow for even
pressure on each of the rollers and enables consistent pelletizing.
1) To adjust the plow angle, loosen the two adjustment socket head cap screws as noted on Step 1.
2) Adjust the plow blade by hand, rotating clockwise or counter-clockwise as shown on Step 2.
3) When you are satisfied with angle, tighten the adjustment screws.

15. ROLLER ADJUSTMENT
Note: When adjusting the roller/die gap, it is important that the roller shell surface and the inner die
surface is clean and free of all foreign materials.
Figure 7-1
1) Loosen the Jam nuts shown on figure 7-1 for the roller that you currently need to adjust.
2) Turn the appropriate Adjust Screws to move the roller in or out until you achieve the optimum gap
between the roller and the die.
3) Tighten up the Jam nuts and (if necessary) adjust the other roller.
4) When the roller gap is correctly adjusted, there will be slight contact with the die but it will be the least
amount of contact possible. When the die is rolled by hand, a person with normal hearing will hear a
barely perceptible “tic, tic, tic” sound.
4a)If there is more noise than described above, the roller needs to be readjusted away from the die.
4b) If there is no noise at all, the roller needs to be readjusted towards the die.
5) If you are unable to achieve the proper gap, you will need to change your adjustment range by
readjusting the Roller Adjusters to another gear tooth.

18. ROLLER BEARING REBUILD PROCEDURE
You will need the following tools to accomplish this task:

 Spanner wrench
 Vise with a vertical shaft gripping head
 Grease pencil or similar non-abrasive marker
 A vertical press
 Extra Fine Emery Cloth or similar minimally abrasive cleaner
 Oven or kiln
 Dry ice and sturdy cooler
 White bearing gloves
 Light Machine oil
 Bearing grease
1) Remove roller assembly from

machine.
2) Use spanner wrench to loosen and

remove Lock-Nut.
3) Remove keyed washer from roller

assembly.
Press 4) Slide the shaft out of the roller

assembly. You may need to press it
out. If so, use care when setting
roller assembly on press base plate
to insure that the roller assembly is
fully supported while still allowing
clearance for the shaft flange to be
pushed out. Also, to avoid damage,
be sure to catch the shaft as it
pushes out of the assembly.

5) Remove the bearing covers from each side.
6) Remove the tapered roller bearings from each side (you should be able to pull them out by hand).
6a) Do not mix up your bearing parts either inner to outer or side to side – they may not mix and
match well!
7) Use a grease pencil or similar non-abrasive marker to mark the inner and the outer cover (the inner
with an Ì` and the outer with an Ò`) because reassembly order is critical.
8) Also mark the bearings to differentiate inner and outer for the same reason.
9) The outer race most likely will need to be pressed out. A lip is exposed inside the shell that can be
used for pressing, but you may need to fabricate a plate to push against that lip so that the race will
see equal pressure all the way around the circumference.

10) Inspect the bearings. Are they still in good shape? If so, you may clean and reseat them using the
following procedure. If not, install replacement bearings (still using the following procedure).
11) Clean the outer bearing contact surface inside of the shell. You may use an emery cloth or similar
method, but do not use so much abrasion that you increase the diameter of the shell contact surface.
12) Warm the shell up to approximately 200°F. This will cause the shell opening to expand. Do Not
overheat the shell.
13) If you are installing new bearings, mark them to differentiate inner and outer, as on step #8.
14) While warming the shell (step #12), cool the outer bearing races by immersing them in crushed dry ice
for at least 1 hour or longer. This will cause the bearing to contract.
15) Once the shell is heated and the bearing races are cooled (using white bearing gloves and paying
attention to orientation and your Ì` and Ò` marks), quickly drop the outer bearing race into the shell.
If possible, rotate the bearing race to make sure that it is seated. Then flip the shell over and repeat
on the other side.
16) Now take the shaft and (after thoroughly cleaning it) place it upright (resting on the flange) in a vise
that has a vertical shaft gripping head.
17) Install a new Ò`-ring onto the shaft and then slide the inner cover (previously marked) all the way
down to the flange.
18) Re-install or replace the piston ring.
19) Heat the inner cup (inner bearing race) to approximately 200°F and (paying close attention to the
orientation and Ì` mark) slide it down the shaft until it contacts the inner cover.
20)Take the roller with the previously installed bearing races and (making sure that the end marked Ì`
goes in first), slide it onto the shaft and over the inner bearing until it slightly compresses the piston
ring.
21)Heat the outer cup (outer bearing race) to approximately 200°F and (paying attention to the orientation)
slide it onto the shaft.
22) While rotating the shell, add 1 to 2 ounces of machine oil until the bearing is lightly lubricated.

20. Belt Tension Adjustment
Notes: Ideal tension is the lowest tension at which the belt will not slip under peak load conditions.
Belt tension should be checked frequently during the first 24 hours of operation.
Check after jog start or after 1-3 minutes of operation. Check again after 8 hours, 24 hours, 100
hours, and periodically after that.
Too much tension shortens the life of both belt and bearing. Applying belt dressing will cause damage
and early belt failure.
Belts should be visually inspected on a regular basis to insure that they are free of foreign material
which may cause belt slippage or damage to the belt.
A squealing noise usually indicates a loose belt, which is cause for a belt tension check and
adjustment.
Use a certified belt tension checker and follow the manufacturer’s instructions when adjusting the
belts.
