 *Odd idea, but could the [[Precious Plastic Extrusion Machine]] , or especially the pro version, be modified to handle non-plastic pellet making?

			*Odd idea, but could the [[Precious Plastic Extrusion Machine]] , or especially the pro version, be modified to handle non-plastic pellet making?
			*Main concern is dust getting where it shouldn't, but molten plastic is viscous, and tends to leak, so perhaps it will be fine?

			==Die Based==
			*Typically use a roller, and a sort of mesh/honecomb with the holes being the shape and dimention of the pellets
			*Powder is added to the top and is pushed through the mesh making pellets
			*VERY high throughput
			*Often unpressed powder mixed in output, so more post processing is needed such as a shaker grate
			*May have less pressure and thus lower density?
			*Also can pellet length be varied (perhaps swapping screen for one with longer "tubes"
			**OR some sort of dual mesh device with rotating wheels with holes, so it can be "sealed" like the screw extruder?
