Cold Pelleting
Custom Pelleting Manufacturing
Services
 We
convert client products into free-flowing, low-dust pellets
for both small ton as well as multiple hundred ton
campaigns by
using compaction through a die rather than melt
processing. This cold pelleting technique allows the
formation of pellet particles without imparting significant
heat history. Because we accurately blend the
components together prior to pelleting, the pellets
solve various problems that occur when trying to
feed the individual powders.
A typical cold pelleting project will start with a discussion to
outline your objectives and progresses to a pelleting feasibility study where samples are made to
determine if the product can be compacted using this
pelleting technique. Samples are generated while coming as
close to production parameters as possible so that
they closely resemble production quality pellets. During the
cold pelleting evaluation, various equipment configurations may be
investigated in order to increase the pellet
quality. The pelleted samples are returned to the customer
for evaluation.
The next step may be a semi-production cold
pelleting run where
several hundred pounds of material is generated for
the customer’s small scale production to test the
pellet performance. At this point, most pelleted products are
taken to full scale production.
Our
expertise is producing pellets. We work with the
manufacturers, distribution companies, and/or the
end user to make a pelleted product that fits the
application. Our facility has the capacity to
process 500 or more tons per campaign to match your
requirements.

The Best Pellet Takes A System Approach
A typical cold pelleting production protocol includes pre-weighing
all components, blending, feeding, pelleting,
cooling, magnetic screening, classification and
finally packaging.
