💡 Tips for Making the Best Pellet — Die Run-in

A new ring die needs a proper run-in to reach optimal performance and avoid premature wear. Skipping break-in is one of the most common causes of early die failure.
Follow the steps below to improve the running-in of your die:

1. Start with an oily, absorptive break-in mix
2. Run at reduced capacity for the first 1–2 hours.
3. Gradually increase feed rate as die channels open up.
4. Monitor pellet hardness and temperature throughout.

65 Years of Technology and Experience At your Service
This year we're celebrating something bigger than a number: 65 years since Ottorino Reffo founded La Meccanica in Cittadella.
In our new LinkedIn Newsletter, we look at what's carried us this far: technology built to last, the people behind every machine, and the new sectors — fertilizer, sugar by-products, alfalfa, oilseed residues — we've grown into this year.
Different raw materials, same engineering discipline: reliability, efficiency, and pellet quality that customers can count on.

👉 Read the full story and watch the video in our latest LinkedIn Newsletter.

Sixty-five years isn't a finish line — it's a foundation. The next chapter is already taking shape: new sectors to serve new innovation to invest.

🏛️ Gita culturale aziendale a Vicenza

Sabato scorso il nostro team ha vissuto una giornata all'insegna della cultura e della condivisione. La gita è iniziata con una visita al magnifico Teatro Olimpico, per poi proseguire alla Basilica Palladiana, dove abbiamo ammirato la mostra del celebre fotografo Guido Harari, che abbiamo avuto il privilegio di incontrare di persona. Attraverso i suoi scatti straordinari abbiamo ripercorso decenni di storia della musica, tra i ritratti di alcuni dei più grandi artisti internazionali.

Momenti come questo ci ricordano quanto sia importante coltivare, anche in azienda, la bellezza e la cultura che ci circondano.

Un grazie di cuore a tutti i colleghi che hanno condiviso questa splendida giornata. 🙌
