Pellet Mill Maintenance Made Easy
A pellet supplier sought a solution to optimize their pellet mill lubrication process. Our team created a custom grease dispensing solution that applied food grade grease to the roller, die, and drum components of their pellet maker. Using patented technology, customized equipment, and over 5 decade’s worth of dispensing expertise, we created a top-notch system that simplified the pellet mill maintenance process significantly.
Critical Maintenance Lubrication
With production machinery that requires intensive upkeep and consistent monitoring, lubrication procedures may be more integral than normally considered. GP Reeves has developed countless solutions to ensure that critical maintenance lubrication is easy, reliable, and effective.

Problem Solving for Pellet Machines
- Multi-Level Operations: The custom decoupled grease dispense system pumped from the first-floor grease pail up to the third floor where dispensing took place.
- Airborne Contamination: GP Reeves ensured any foreign particles or debris wouldn’t impact the pellet making process by creating custom enclosure housings.
- Material Waste: The system allowed the manufacturer to upgrade from a 120 lb. keg of grease to a 400 lb. drum. The customized dispensing system also ensured more accurate dispensing volumes.
- Manual Labor: The GP Reeves system reduced the pelletizer’s greasing time from 45 to 10 minutes. Pail changes also went from taking place every 2-3 days to 10 days.

While factoring in the pellet machine’s elevation, the pellet supplier’s factory conditions, the labor intensity of operations, and the impact of material waste, GP Reeves configured a system that exceeded expectations. Some of the benefits include:
- Upgrading to the GDP grease pump for 400-pound drums significantly improved the pellet supplier’s volume capacity while allowing them to reduce the frequency of drum changes.
- A customized AA dispenser, located three floors above the pump part of the dispense system, controls the volume and rate of each dispense, increasing reliability, material effectiveness, and repeatability.
- The system’s custom enclosure keeps airborne contaminants from entering the dispensing components, ensuring a clean and uninterrupted dispense process.
