The optimal operational clearance is generally maintained between 0.1 mm and 0.3 mm (roughly the thickness of a business card). Excessive tight clearance causes direct metal-to-metal friction and rapid wear, while too loose clearance leads to material slippage, reduced throughput, and clogging.

Used roller shells usually have uneven surface wear. Pairing a worn roller shell with a brand-new ring die will rapidly damage the tracking surface of the expensive new die, causing uneven wear, reduced output, and severe lifespan reduction.

Key factors include: high abrasive content (sand, metal debris) in raw materials; improper over-tightening of die-roller clearance causing severe friction; selecting subpar roller shells with low material quality or inadequate heat treatment; and insufficient lubrication causing bearing seize-up and dragged wear.

Open-end grooves extend across the entire width for smooth discharge. Closed-end grooves have sealed ends to prevent material from escaping laterally during compression, thereby boosting extrusion efficiency and density at the outer edges of the ring die.

Hardfacing involves welding a layer of tungsten carbide or wear-resistant alloy onto the tooth tips or surface of the shell. Its major advantage is extreme abrasion resistance, which significantly extends service life and reduces maintenance downtime when processing harsh biomass like wood or bamboo.
