CPM pellet mills

Category: Pellet mills

The new generation of German CPM Direct Drive (DD) pellet mills is especially designed for applications with very hard pelleting conditions in terms of raw material quality in limited working space and while keeping all production norms. The production of wood pellets is one of these applications.

In fact, CPM Direct Drive is the first pellet mill designed for the biomass industry, including wood biomass, with direct drive system (DD), without gearbox or V-belts. The new pellet mill performs a high efficiency thanks to its powerful torque motor, saving around 20% of energy, compared with the conventional drive systems.

CPM pellet mills in combination with the new steam conditioning system forms also an optimal pelleting line for classical feed products as well as for hulls and extraction meal in the seed oil industry (extracting seed oil). 

An unquestionable advantage of all CPM pellet mills is their modular design and a large die speed range (from 4 to 8 m/s) without loss of torque, which allows to meet even the highest technological standards of pellet production. CPM pellet mill assure superior finished pellet quality with a high PDI (Pellet Durability Index).

Advantages of CPM pellet mills:

  • sturdy and durable construction,
  • direct drive system, without gearbox or V-belts,
  • higher torque compared to classical drive systems,
  • die speed adjustable, without loss of torque,
  • excellent finished pellet quality with high PDI,
  • simple monitoring of the product quality by sampling at the mill door,
  • less energy consumption,
  • lower operation costs and easy maintenance,
  • very short start up time,
  • smallest footprint in its class, 
  • feed with or without control system.
