Dice and Rollers

Dies and rollers represent the most expensive wear parts in a pet food plant. So it is essential to know its maintenance.

Description

Our dies manufactured by La Meccanica in Italy , are developed under high quality standards, with European steels and latest generation heat treatments to ensure long life and productivity.

Matrices are manufactured for the main pellet press brands in the world.

50 years of experience in the production of dies and rollers are a guarantee of quality and reliability

We can guarantee:

  • High quality special steels, even steels with a high chromium content;
  • Extremely precise manufacturing;
  • Drilling and polished of perforations;
  • Vacuum heat treatment
  • Minimal deformation of the matrix after heat treatment;
  • Control quality before shipment;
  • Quick delivery times ;
  • All dies are hardened to 53-54 Rc.

Our production plant is fully automated and equipped with state-of-the-art technology. The dies and rollers of our production are exported all over the world. Some outstanding features of our matrices:

  • Easy Production start
  • high productivity
  • Long operational life

Our dies quickly reach full productivity because they have:

  • Perfect completion of perforations
  • Vacuum heat treatment that eliminates oxidation of the steel.

The long life of our matrices is guaranteed by:

  • High quality steel construction , with a high content of carbon and chromium;
  • high durability after heat treatment.

Characteristics:

  • Our dies have a precise perforation in all their travel.
  • Our matrices are controlled and worked on the inside to eliminate
    any deformation after treatment (maximum
    guaranteed deformation = 0.5 mm.)

All steels are subject to quality control . Upon request, we can provide certificates of analysis. To provide the correct die, we need to know the type of Press and the dimensions of the die in use. We can build dies with a drilling design agreed with the customer or follow our geometries, the result of long experience.

Types of dice:

Nickel chrome:

20MnCr5 and 18NiCrMo5

– Treatment of steel obtaining 60 to 62 HRc of hardness between 0.8 and 1.2 mm deep in the die.

– Used for holes with the largest diameters (livestock).

Chrome steel:

– X46Cr13

– Treatment of steel by controlled atmospheres with hardness of 53-55 HRc on the surface and internal part.

Resistant to more products corrosive .

Alloy carbon with chromium.

Endurance to break by impact of ferrous material.

High food productions.

– The thickness of the die must be increased a little more to obtain the same PDI.
