    O

    &J Denmark had the idea to

    re-work dies and rolls over three

    decades ago with an intention

    to assist the market demand to grind and

    re-countersink worn dies into as-new

    dies at a time when dies were very

    expensive.

    The machines used for this work could

    not be bought at the time so we undertook

    the challenge to design, develope and manu-

    facture such equipment ourselves.

    Since then many others and some

    from different perspectives have come up.

    However, O&J has been at the very fore-

    front of this industry and still is.

    Clients of interest include: Feedmills - for livestock such as pigs,

    poultry and cattle, shrimp feed

    Bio/wood mills including palm fibre mills

    Waste mills

    Others

    The benefits from die- and roll-

    refurbishment include:

    Increases life time of pelleting

    equipment

    Increase throughput

    Significant reduces power usage

    Securing higher pellet quality

    A feedmill is only as strong as its weakest

    link. Each machine has to work as its best.

    Investing time and money in feed for-

    mulation can be quickly written off if the

    pelleting machinery used isnt up to scratch.

    Installation and usageFrom the start, machines need to be

    installed properly with particular attention

    being paid to positioning of the roll assembly

    correctly against the die production surface.

    Failing to fit machines properly can result in

    non-uniform wear in the ring die and non-

    uniform pellets.

    Die- and roll-refurbishmentO&J Denmark has been able to establish

    a strong brand in the marketplace, servicing

    clients over very long distances.

    Thanks to great trust from all our clients

    we can offer a full re-working set up includ-

    ing logistic solutions.

    The mills book all shipments directly to

    our freight forwarding company operating

    in their region, bringing dies and rolls to ourre-working center in Esbjerg, Denmark and

    returning with the same afterwards.

    Simple but highly effective mills pay

    no waste time!, 1 click and the goods are

    booked and automatically returned again

    when the re-work is complete.

    In other regions throughout the g-lobe

    this may be different due to existing infra-

    structure, labour cost etc.

    At the re-working center dies and rolls

    are checked on arrival, their actual worn

    condition, any damage, etc, with assessment

    of how re-working would be or not be

    profitable to the client.

    It is a partnership. If a die is wrongly worn

    a contact shall follow from here giving a note

    to the client helping him back on track again.

    For example, a good client is a mill

    running controlled production systems and

    therefore will have a controlled degradation

    of wear parts. It is worth remembering that

    a full refurbishment and cost will depend on

    the work required.

    Deciding when to ship a die for re-work-

    ing is always a balance. Ultimately it comes

    down to a choice between controlled main-

    tenance versus damaged based maintenance.

    A full refurbishment includes cleaning

    the die and checking for cracks by using the

    O&J HPJC21 High-Press Blowout System by

    means of water only and without chemi-

    cals. The advantage of using this method is

    that the water is strong enough, blowing out

    with 1.250BAR/aprox 17,000PSI, to dislodge

    stubborn material without harming the press

    channels.

    Next, comes grinding the die productionsurface, skimming level and machining using

    the O&J DG1700-1 grinding machine specifi-

    cally designed for dies and rolls.

    Finally, having it re-counter sunk again

    by using the O&J CSV14-3 counter sinking

    machine for ring dies.

    Differences between regionsIn the northern states of Europe and

    Scandinavia, mills generally carry out re-

    working to both ring dies and rolls.

    Ring dies get re-grounded, re-counter

    sunk and cleaned up - schematically dies

    get re-worked two or three times a

    lifetime, depending to production and die

    condition.

    Rolls are normally ground the first time

    and then given a new roll shell the next

    time. Also, items such as axles, bearings,

    cover plates and seal collars are cleaned up

    and controlled before re-assembling which

    includes a new roll shell.

    In other regions throughout the globe,

    this may be different due to existing infra-structure, labour cost, etc.

    However, we register from those other

    regions an ever growing interest using our

    techniques and machines to set up service

    centers for re-working. We invest great inter-

    est in being at their service working together

    facing a common future and possibility.

    A fine example is that a year ago we

    fulfilled delivery of technical equipment

    to the Phi lippines for a local serv ice

    centre in Cebu, which is now giving such

    re-working possibilities to local mills in

    that region. Even though there have been

    a few obstacles to overcome, the regionshows great interest in the local set-up

    having their dies and rolls re-worked

    there and general ly fol lowing the same

    ideas as we operate here.

    Apart from Europe, O&J machines are

    in operation in India, Thailand, Singapore,

    Korea, China, USA and Canada and theres

    more to come O&J is creating a future

    together with dedicated clients throughout

    the globe.
