28-07-2020 The pellet presses were classified according to their functioning principles as follows.

09-07-2020 La Meccanica srl is specialized in the production of dies and roller shells for all the main brands of pellet mills. Every pellet mill roller shell is built with high precision using the highest quality steel. Our roller shells long lifespan is assured by high resistance to abrasion, breakage and corrosion.

07-07-2020 Many scientific studies show that expander technology is an essential addition to a modern pelleting machine, as a useful tool to fulfill a wide range of customer needs in order to provide a different feed for every animal’s life stage.

30-06-2020 The use of biomass, wood and agricultural waste for renewable energy is one of the most important challenges to achieve sustainability in the world.

25-06-2020 The first advanced pellet mills were built in two versions: one usual with screw locked die and the Rapid block type, equipped with a quick locking device for the die.

09-06-2020 Back in the 60s, the 37 years old, aeronautical engineer, Ottorino Reffo began his adventure which takes the name of La Meccanica.

03-06-2020 The expander is installed right after the existing short-term conditioner and is suitable for any pellet mill brand. Conditioning of the feed takes place before the expander in the short-term conditioner with the addition of saturated steam and eventually liquids (molasses, fats), in order to ensure the success of the desired treatment.

12-05-2020 The expander has been known in the oil milling industry for years and its use, combined with the pellet mill, begins in the 90s as a tool to sanitize the feed. The expander can be integrated in any existing pelleting system without major supplementary space requirement or increasing specific energy consumption.

21-04-2020 The rotary screener consists of a grid of sieving rotating inside a cylindrical chamber. In this machine, the sieved product falls centrally on the screen and is centrifuged to the outside.

31-03-2020 Vibrating sifters are used to remove grit and fine particles from the pellet flow. These are very compact machines, particularly efficient for cleaning pellets or for classifying flours.

Back in 1935, when Sprout Waldron created the first modern vertical annular die press, the problem of compression was definitively solved.

05-03-2020 The oscillating sifter is a pellet cleaning device equipped with oscillating motion, which ensures a high efficiency in the removing of dust.
