7. During the operation of the equipment, it is strictly forbidden to use hands or other tools to dial the material to avoid danger.
8. If there is any abnormal noise during the production process, you need to immediately cut off the power supply, check and deal with abnormalities before turning on the machine to continue production.
9. Before stopping the machine, stop the auxiliary feed first, then put the oil, wait until the die hole is full of oil, no oil in the granulating chamber before stopping. The purpose of putting oil material is to make it easier to discharge material when producing next time.

According to the requirements of the correct operation of the pellet mill, and in accordance with the requirements of attention to matters related to not only improve the output and running performance of the equipment, but also to extend the service life of the equipment.
