Mineral Additions

Minerals such as limestone, di-cal and salt are very tough to pellet and produce at low capacities.

These types of products have extreme resistance to flow through the die, so a very thin die is required to keep resistance under control.

Counterbored dies often are required to meet the balance between high stress and minimum thickness for pellet formation. In adding salt, one must consider the corrosion factor that can accelerate wear within the die.
