1.0 Overview
1.1 Acknowledgement
Dear Customer, thank you for purchasing our products. Please
read and follow the instructions in this manual before operation
and maintenance of the machine, for the benefit of full
utilization of pellet mill, higher production efficiency, safe
operation and longer service life. Operating the machine
contrary to its instruction is forbidden.
1.2 Machine Application
This machine is designed to process animal feed, sawdust,
straw, rice husk, bark, etc into high density pellets which are
convenient for storage and transportation. Animal feed pellets
are to raise livestock. Biomass pellets are widely used in house
warming, power generation by burning. As alternative energy
source of non-renewable energy, such as, coal, oil, gas etc,
pellet is high efficient, clean renewable, saving energy and
reducing carbon emissions.
1.3 Machine Categories
According to material, structure and power, we have different
models:
1.3.1 Material: animal feed model and biomass model;
1.3.2 Structure: rotating die and rotating roller
1.3.3 Power: electric motor, diesel engine, gasoline engine,
PTO
1.4 Safety Warnings
All machines are not lubricated. Please lubricate the machine
1
according to this manual and the marks on the machine.
Grind-in the die before making pellets.
Keep hands clear of moving parts during operation.
After pelletizing let oil mixture runs through the machine for 3
times
Disconnect the power source before service or internal
inspection.

2.3.2 Die and Roller Inspection & Maintenance
Inspection of Roller:
The roller should be visually inspected prior to each start-up.
Make sure no foreign objects affect roller normal running.
Service life of the die is supposed to be 300-500 hours.
Replace roller and die at same time will be better.
Inspection of Die:
The die should be visually inspected prior to start-up. Make
sure no foreign objects are lodged in bearings and no
loosened parts. Service life of roller is expected to be 300-500
hours under normal circumstances. Most of dies can be used
on both sides.

Before inputting material to machine, release the locking bolt,
screw the adjusting bolt clockwise till it cannot be screwed by
hands, then screw the adjusting bolt anticlockwise 15°-30°, at
last tighten the locking bolt.
3.3.3 How to Adjust Gap between Feeding Scraper and Die for
ZLSP-R
Adjust before operation: the gap between the feeding scraper
and the flat die will greatly influence the output. If the gap is
too small, the material is hard to squeeze into the die holes,
leading to low output and high flour yield. If the space is too
big, the motor will be overload, or even burn out. As shown in
above drawing suitable distance between feeding scraper and
die is 10-30mm.
3.3.4 How to Adjust the Gap for ZLSP-D
Adjust after starting the machine: As shown in following
drawing. After starting the machine, screw the adjusting bolts
on both sides of roller evenly until the die drives the roller to
12
run. When raw material is added to the machine adjusting
bolts can be tightened gradually depends on pellet quality.

till you hear normal diesel engine running sound.
3. Roll the start handle fast. When fly wheel gets enough
power, then release
the decompression handle quickly, and roll the start crank
continually till the
diesel engine is started.
4. When the engine starts to run, the start crank may drop
away from the start
hole automatically. So pull back the start handle in time to
avoid accident.
3.4.3 Diesel Engine (with electric starter) Start Procedures
1. Turn the speed controller to the “start”position.
2. Turn the key to the gear“Ⅰ”, then the starter is connected
with the storage
battery. Turn the key to gear “Ⅱ”, then the engine starts.
3. After starting diesel engine please turn the key to gear“Ⅰ”
3.4.4 Gasoline Engine Start Procedure
1. Turn the fuel valve to the “ON” Position.
2. Move the throttle level slightly to the left.
3. Turn the choke lever to the close position.
4. Turn the engine switch to the “ON” position.
5. Pull the starter grip lightly until resistance is felt, then pull
briskly.(without electric starter);
Turn the engine switch to the “START” position. (with electric
starter)
6. Turn the choke lever to the open position.
7. Set the throttle at the desired position.
3.5 Warm up the Pellet Mill
3.5.1 Before making pellet every time, machine needs to be
14
warmed up by oil mixture repeatedly for 5 minutes or so.
When the temperature reaches 80-100℃ you can make
pellet.
3.5.2 Oil mixture receipt: mix 3-5kg raw material with 10% oil
evenly.
3.5.6 Warm up procedure
1. Place a bucket under discharge of the pellet mill. Material
collected will be re-run through the mil to aide in warming the
mill.
2. Turn the power on to the machine.
3. Input oil mixture to mill and do not overflow the chamber.
4. The die will prove to be warm enough to produce pellets
15
5. Recycle oil mixture to mill for 40-60 minutes
3.7 Make Pellet
3.7.1 After warming up the mill, raw material can be processed.
3.7.2 Low moisture content may cause soft or powdery pellet;
High moisture content may cause rough pellet;.
3.7.3 If no pellet come out please adjust adjusting bolts.
Please contact us if still no pellet comes out after adjusting bolts.
3.8 Stop the Machine
Before stopping the machine, please let oil mixture run through
machine at lease 3 times. This procedure is to prepare for next
operation, saving much time and avoid material block the die
holes.
Electric Motor: Press “Stop” button
Diesel Engine: Switch clutch to separate state with no material
inside machine and move speed control handle to “Stop”
position.(clutch models)
Gas Engine: 1.Move the throttle lever to the right fully
2. Turn the engine switch to the “Off” position
3. Turn the fuel valve to the “Off” position
