Why Choose Hongyue Spare Parts?

Precision manufacturing for ultimate pelleting performance.

1

CNC Gun Drilling

Imported 4-axis gun drilling center ensures ultra-smooth inner hole finish (Ra 0.8), reducing blockage and improving pellet quality for consistent feed output.

2

Vacuum Heat Treatment

Computer-controlled vacuum quenching achieves uniform HRC 52-56 hardness throughout the die body, preventing premature cracking under heavy pelleting loads.

3

Precision Counter-Sink

Multi-step counter-sinking and chamfering process creates a smooth entry cone for each hole, ensuring consistent feed flow and reduced energy consumption.

Premium Material & Extended Lifespan

Forged from high-grade X46Cr13 (Stainless Steel), our replacement ring dies and roller shells offer superior resistance against corrosion and abrasive wear during high-temperature pelleting. Processed through advanced vacuum heat treatment, we ensure a uniform hardness (typically HRC 52-56), which maximizes output capacity while minimizing the cost per ton of feed produced.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this Buhler 520.138 die compatible with the 520.178?

Yes, our replacement die fits both Buhler 520.138 and 520.178 models as they share identical mounting specifications.

What is gun drilling and why does it matter?

Gun drilling is a precision machining process that creates perfectly straight, smooth holes. This prevents feed from sticking and reduces energy consumption by up to 15%.

Material Science

Why Material Matters

The lifespan of a ring die is determined by its material composition and heat treatment. We use only certified X46Cr13 stainless steel and 20CrMnTi alloy steel, processed through vacuum heat treatment to ensure uniform hardness and maximum wear resistance.
