1.1 USE , APPLICATION SCOPE

Different sized pellets for different animals in their different growth periods. Roll
Crumbler is specially used for breaking big pellets into smaller particles. If smaller
pellets are directly made in Pellet Mill, it will result in Crumbler can maintain a high
output and only power consumption increases.

Compared with making smaller pellets directly in Pellet Mill, it can raise output by 3
to 4 times and decrease energy consumption by 3 to 4 times. Therefore, the Crumbler
is the essential equipment in the pelleting section. Generally, bigger pellets made by
Pellet Mill can be broken in to smaller ones of 0.7～1.5mm or 1～2.5mm in this
machine.

1.2 PERFORMANCES
SSLG Roll Crumbler is compact in structure. The crumbling size can be conveniently
adjusted. The different driving speeds of the two rolls allow a good crumbling effect.
The pellet needn’t to be broken passes through the bypass, and this machine can stop
automatically.
It adopts belt driving with balanced driving and low noise. It works reliably and can
be operated conveniently.

3. MAIN STRUCTURE AND WORKING PRINCIPLE

Roll Crumbler mainly consists of fast and slow roll, drive, valve operation unit, roll
gap adjusting unit and tensioner. See Figure 1.
The pellets enters the crumbler inlet after being cooled in the cooler and then enters
between two rolls through the opened valve and retaining rod. There are fast roll and
slow one. There is tooth groove on the roll surface. The pellets are broken through the
pressing and shearing of the two rolls with different speeds. The size of crumbled feed
depends on the gap of rolls.

When crumbling, turn on the cylinder to open the valve (See Figure 3), The pellet
feed between the rolls is crumbled into smaller particles. If the pellets needn’t to be
broken, push the Opening Rod to close the valve so that the pellets pass through the
bypass on the opposite sides. At this moment, it contacts the limit switch to make the
motor stop running. See Figure 4.

 FIGURE 4: PASS WAY

3.1 ROLL
The fast roll and slow roll have the same diameter and same booth. The only
difference is their rotational speeds. The fast roll and the slow rotate oppositely with
the speed ratio 1.5:1. The tooth shape have common type and fine type. They are
different in tooth shape and number. Fine tooth has smaller pitch and more number,
See Figure 5. Generally, common tooth breaks pellets into particles of 1-2.5mm and
fine tooth breaks pellets into to particles of 0.7-1.5mm
The fine tooth is usually used in processing prawn feed.

FIGURE 5: ROLL TOOTH SHAPE

The roll with the different length 800, 1000, 1400mm and diameter 200mm is made
 by the hardened alloy cast iron which needn’t be heat-treated. The toot harness is
HRC45～50. Roll can be repaired for reuse after being worn. That is, wire draw the
roll again according to the original tooth after it is machined. Generally, roll can be
repeated used for 2-3times.

3.2 ROLL GAP ADJUSTING DEVICE

Roll gap adjusting devices are mounted at both ends of the roll shaft. User can
adjusted the rolls gap according to the needed particlesize. The nip gap must be the
same at both ends of the roll. Turn the gap adjusting wheel clockwise to make the
roller gap smaller, or vice versa. Additionally, a compressible spring is mounted on
the adjusting screw rod. When there is foreign material, two roll can make way and
reset quickly so that rolls are prevented from being damaged.

3.3 DRIVE
See Figure 7 for the drive. It adopts V-belt drive. The first step belt tension is adjusted
by the live bolt on the motor base and the second belt tension can be obtained by
adjusting the spring tension with tensioner.

4. INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT

4.1 The axis of pellet inlet of Crumbler should be in alignment with the axis of
discharge opening of cooler. See Figure 8 for the installation position. Finally, fasten
the machine with nuts and advanced laid bolts.

4.2 ADJUSTMENT
4.2.1 ROLL GAP ADJUSTMENT
Roll gap must be adjusted to obtain the different sizes. Turn the adjusting wheel
clockwise to make the roller gap smaller, or vice versa. You can get the sample from
sampling port to check if the adjustment is suitable or not. Normally, the gap size is
about 2/3 of the pellet being crumbled.

4.2.2 LIMIT SCREW ADJUSTMENT

See Figure 9 for the position of limit screw. There is a limit screw each
in the front of the two side bearing housings. When the rolls gap adjusting
devices at both ends are adjusted to “0” position (the scale of indicator
and dial indicator is (0), that is, the gap between fast roll and slow
roll is zero while fast roll and slow roll do not contact with each other.
At this moment, adjust the limit screw (2) so that the screw head is against
the bearing housing, then lock the limit screw with nut. The function of
limit screw is to ensure that fast roll and slow roll do not collide.

4.2.3 BELT TENSION ASJUSTMENT

To keep machine in a best condition, you must adjust the tensioner so that the belt has
proper tension. See section 3.3 Drive unit for adjusting method.

4.2.4 ADJUSTMENT OF THE FEEDING AMOUNT

Properly adjusted feeding amount can make the crumbled particle more evenly and
reduce material returning back and prolong the roll life. The feeding amount can be
adjusted by adjusting the gap between the control plate and the feeder roll as well as
the speed of the feeding motor. Store some material in the lower hopper of the cooler
so that the crumbler does not run without load. See Figure 10

4.3 Trial Run

NOTE: Turn off the power when making any adjustment or inspection to ensure
personal safety.

Take care about the roll shaft rotating direction when connecting the motor. Make the
two rolls rotate towards the middle. See the attached electric connection diagram.

After installing the machine, make trial run first. Steps as follows.

4.3.1 Check that the fasteners are reliably connected.

4.3.2 Clean away the impurities and the materials between the rolls and the check that
the roll gap is proper.
4.3.3 Turn on the main motor first and check that the roll rotation directions are
correct and correct and there is not abnormal noise.
4.3.4 Turn on the cylinder and check that the by-way live gate can move flexibly and
is in position. When it is at the by-way position, the machine can stop.
4.3.5 Turn on the feeder motor so that the motor speed increase gradually. Check that
the size of the material after being crumbled is qualified.
4.3.6 After the machine is tried run normally, you can make normally production,
Whenever abnormal is found, solve the problem in time.

5.OPERATION
5.1 The operator must read this Operation Manual to be familiar with the machine
performance and the structure.
5.2 Check carefully that all the connection parts are not loose before starting the
machine.
5.3 Check if the roll driving direction is right and if it rotates flexibly. Make sure that
there is no abnormal noise of sticking, collision and friction.
5.4 Adjust the roll gap limit screw to ensure that two rolls do not collide at minimum
gap.
5.5 When operation, turn on the main motor first and then the feeder motor. Properly
adjust the feeder motor speed and the distance of the feeder roll according to the pellet
size. To operate, run the machine for 2～3 minutes before turning on the feeder motor
to feed material.
5.6 When the pellet is not to be crumbled, turn on the cylinder so that the by-way live
gate is at the by-way position and the main motor stops working.
6.REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE
6.1 Perform checking and cleaning working carefully before and after work.
6.2 Fill a certain amount of ZG-2 calcium radical grease into 5 oil fillers with oil gun
every 3 months or so.
6.3 Repair or replace the roll in time if its teeth are worn.
6.4 Check that the limit switch is functioning every week.
6.5 Clean out the material inside the machine when the machine is not working. Loose
the V-belt and keep the equipment clean and dry.
