>  Reason:

> Solution:

• Bad distribution of the material
  
  
  
  
• The mixture leans to getting out sideways
  from the compression area
  
• Use of a new die with already worn rolls
  
  
• The die has a too high thickness

• The die may have a too high thickness
• Changement of the die is required
• The inclination of the deflectors is to be
  corrected
  
• Use corrugated closed roll shells
  
  
• Use new dies and roll shells or possibly
  dies and roll shells worn in the same way
  
• Reconsider the thickness of the die

>  Reason:

> Solution:

• Presence of foreign matters in the die
  
  
  
• The die has a too low thickness
  
  
• The housing of the die is worn out
  
  
• Breakdown of the clamping screws
  
• Frequent stoppages of the die

• The control system and the system of
  removal of foreign matters while pelleting
  must be improved
  
• Thicker dies with counter drilled holes are to be used
  
• The wear ring and/or the stiffening flange
  are to be replaced
  
• The clamping screws are to be replaced
  
• The conditioning temperature is to be controlled

>  Reason:

> Solution:

• The material contains sand
  
  
• Conditioning temperature
  
  
  
  
• Too rough milling
  
• The diameter of the pellet is too small
  
  
• The rolls are too far away from the die

• The cleaning methods of the raw material
  require to be improved
  
• Optimise the conditioning
• The suitable thickness of the die should be chosen
• Add grease or additives to the mixture
  
• Finer milling is required
  
• Use the largest possible diameter of the pellet in line with the product
  
• The rolls are to be adjusted

>  Reason:

> Solution:

• The rolls are too close to the die
  
• The die has a too high thickness
  
• After the work the die has not been
  well cleaned with sliding material,
  such as maize and oat

• The rolls are to be adjusted
  
• Change the thickness of the die
  
• After the end of the work fill the holes of
  the die with a neutral product, such as
  maize and oat

>  Reason:

> Solution:

• The rolls are adjusted badly
  
• The die is clogged

• The rolls are to be adjusted
  
• To clear the die, you should try:
  - to put in manually unbroken maize (through the doorlet of the conveyor)
  - to immerge the die into hot oil as last solution to drill the pellets with a drill
