Precision Alignment

The relationship between dies and rollers is critical for optimal pellet production. Our technicians use laser alignment tools to achieve perfect positioning, ensuring consistent pellet quality and minimizing wear on critical components.

  • Chassis and frame assembly with jig verification
  • Power transmission system integration
  • Die and roller installation with precision alignment
  • Control system integration and wiring
  • Safety system installation and verification

Quality Verification During Assembly

Each assembly stage includes specific quality checks performed by both assembly technicians and dedicated quality control personnel. This dual-verification approach ensures no detail is overlooked.
