Working principle of animal feed pellet machine

During the feed pelleting process, the powder raw materials are fed into the pelleting chamber through the feeding hopper of the animal feed pellet machine. Inside the chamber, the raw materials experience pressure and friction between the rollers and the flat die. As a result, the raw materials are extruded from the die holes and formed into pellets. The temperature can reach around 65-70 degrees Celsius, effectively killing bacteria and ensuring the health of the animals.

To increase the durability and lifespan of the feed pellet mill, the die and the press rollers are made from high-quality steel that undergoes hot quenching. This process enhances the wear-resistant properties of the machine, increasing its lifespan by 3-5 times compared to other models.

Flat Die Animal Feed Pellet Production Line

A small flat animal feed line consists of several components including crushing, mixing, pelletizing, cooling, screening, and packing pellets. On the other hand, a full line of machines includes a crusher, mixer, pellet machine, cooler, crumbler, screener, silos, packing machine, and conveyors, among others. Depending on the raw materials dimension and specific requirements, we will design a customized flow chart for the full pellet line. This ensures that the production process is optimized for your needs and results in high-quality feed pellets.

In the process of a feed line, maize and soya bean meal are first crushed into fine powder by a Grinding Machine. Other powder or soft materials, such as wheat bran, bone meal, microelements, and vitamins, are directly fed into the Vertical Mixing Machine without the need for crushing. These materials are mixed thoroughly and discharged into a hopper using a Screw Conveyor. From there, they are transferred to a Temporary Storage Silo via another screw conveyor.

Once in the silo, the mixed materials are uniformly and continuously fed into the Pellet Mill using a Screw Feeder. The Pellet Mill transforms the mixture into feed pellets. The pellets are then discharged into a hopper and conveyed to the Pellet Cooling Machine via a Belt Conveyor. During the cooling process, the hot pellets are cooled to a temperature not exceeding the room temperature.

After cooling, the pellets are screened by a Vibrating Screen to remove any impurities. Once screened, the pellets are ready to be packaged.

This animal feed pellet production line is designed to process feed pellets for livestock, poultry, and aquatic animals. It is particularly suitable for medium-sized feed factories, breeding farms, or aquatic bases.

Advantage Of Feed Pellet

Here are some key benefits of using feed pellets:

1. Improved Palatability: Feed pellets are processed to enhance fragrance and stimulate the appetite of animals, leading to increased feed consumption, improved digestibility, and better feed utilization.
2. Feed Saving: Compared to using powder fodder, feed pellets reduce wastage and optimize feed utilization. Livestock cannot selectively choose what they want to eat, resulting in higher feed utilization rates and potential savings of up to 7%.
3. Formulation Adjustability: Producing your own feed pellets allows you to adjust the formulation according to the specific growth phases of animals. This flexibility can save money on purchasing pre-mixed feed pellets.
4. Longer Storage Time: Feed pellets have lower moisture content compared to powdery fodder, reducing the risk of caking and mildew. Without additional drying and cooling, home-processed pellets can be stored for approximately 3-4 months. With proper commercial processing, pellets can be stored for over a year without deterioration.
5. Reduced Labor Requirement: Feeding livestock with pellets can increase labor efficiency. For example, one worker can feed 36 sheep with pellets compared to 28 sheep when using fodder. Additionally, there is less residue to clean up, saving time and effort.

In summary, feed pellets offer advantages such as improved palatability, feed savings, formulation adjustability, longer storage time, and reduced labor requirements when compared to powder fodder.
