Quick Die Change System
The Quick Die Change system cuts pellet mill die changes to just 10 to 12 minutes. A simple nut and bolt design with foot controlled turning gear lets one operator replace the die safely and quickly. This boosts uptime and makes it easy to switch pellet sizes on the same machine.
- Die replacement in just 10–12 minutes
- One-operator system—no heavy manual work
- Increased uptime and production efficiency
Faster changeovers, less downtime
The Quick Die Change system reduces pellet mill die replacement time to around 10–12 minutes and allows safe handling by a single operator. Controlled alignment and reduced mechanical stress improve reliability and wear behaviour. This makes frequent pellet size changes practical, increases machine uptime and supports flexible production planning.

FAQ
It reduces die changeover time to approximately 10–12 minutes—up to 80% faster than traditional methods.
Yes. The system is designed for safe, single-operator use via a pneumatic foot control.
The QDC is designed for integration with the Progress 850 and 900 pellet mills, with potential adaptation for similar configurations.
It allows operators to quickly switch between dies for different pellet sizes or feed types, supporting just-in-time feed production.
The QDC features pressure-release bolts, a limit switch for rotation control, and pneumatic coupling for smooth, safe operation.
