Straw pellet press Kubex 5

for woodwork wastefor sawdust

Overview
Kubex 5 is a gear-driven pellet mill designed for continuous industrial pelleting. It delivers high throughput with improved energy efficiency, an advanced pelleting chamber and components engineered for 24/7 operation.

Key benefits

• High capacity with low energy use: largest roller available within the same die increases output per energy unit.
• Operator efficiency: central lubrication, motorized die lifter, gearbox oil cooling and anti-blocking monitoring reduce manual interventions.
• Designed for continuous production: standardised, serviceable parts and systems aimed at long production runs.

Key features

• Gear-drive architecture for high mechanical efficiency and reliable power transmission.
• Flexible capacity range: multiple sub-types covering approximately 15–60 t/h, configurable for swine, poultry, aqua, ruminant feed and biomass.
• High roller/die diameter ratio to maximise capacity, including ruminant formulations.
• Global service and spare parts availability via Bühler network (140+ countries); gearbox certified/guaranteed by strategic partner.
• Designed for reduced daily maintenance: oil cooling & circulation and central lubrication support continuous operation.

Other features

• Dynamic roller gap adjustment: automatic in-production adjustment using roller speed and motor current signals to optimise gap position.
• Roller speed monitoring: sensors detect speed drops and trigger overload flap and feed reduction to prevent slippage/blockage.
• Central lubrication: automatic grease delivery to bearings, adjustable flow per line and blockage indicators.
• Anti-blocking monitoring: inlet-chute device monitors buildup and triggers control actions.
• Magnetic plate for iron removal on inlet chute (standard) to protect die and rollers.
• Motorized die lifter: compact sliding crane with dual-rope weighing, ~1 t lifting capacity for safe, fast die and roller changes.
• Gearbox oil cooling & circulation system to maintain oil temperature for continuous operation.

Digital solutions

• PelletingPro: industrial process control to stabilise pellet quality.
• Pelleting Essential: mobile-enabled dashboard for remote monitoring of pelleting line performance.

Applications

• Swine feed, poultry feed, aqua feed, ruminant feed, biomass and multi-feed operations.
