Advantages and disadvantages of thin dies

Advantages:
    · high capacity
    · lower clogging risks
    · possibility of adding more moisture
    · possibility of conditioning the mash at a higher temperature
    · suitability for a larger number of formulations
    · reduction of costs connected to the wearing of dies and roller shells
    · reduced stress for machinery
    · reduction of electricity costs / lower power consumption

Disadvantages
    · increased steam requirement
    · possible cooling problems due to higher conditioning temperatures
    · need for greater operator input and experience to ensure pellet quality
    · mat appearance of pellets
    · lower pellets density /durability
