question

How To Safeguard Feed Quality And Feed Mill Efficiency?

With in-depth research on the feed industry, more and more scientific researchers and manufacturers are improving the quality of raw materials and optimizing formulations, while taking feed processing technology as an important way to improve product quality. The hardness of feed pellets is an important index of the appearance quality of pellet feed. And it is also found that the particle hardness of pellet feed has a certain influence on the production performance of livestock and poultry in the feeding process of some chicken farms. Therefore, how to regulate the particle hardness of pellet feed is a problem that some manufacturers and scientific researchers are actively exploring.

Throughout the whole process of feed pellets production, in addition to the feed formula, the process that affects the hardness of the feed pellets are: the crushing process of raw materials, the steam conditioning process, and the selection of the ring die in the pelletizing process.

(1) Effect Of the Crushing Process On Pellet Hardness

The decisive factor for the hardness of the pellets in the crushing process is the size of the crushed raw materials. The impact of crushing raw materials’ size on the hardness of the pellets directly affects the conditioning process and granulation process. In actual production, according to the production performance of different animals and the size of the ring die aperture, crushing size requires to make appropriate adjustments.

Generally speaking, in the process of the chicken feed manufacturing plant, the finer the crushing size of the raw material, much easier the starch paste in the conditioning process, the much stronger the bonding effect in the raw materials, and the much greater the hardness of the pellets.

(2) The Effect Of the Steam Conditioning Process On The Hardness Of Pellets

Steam conditioning is a key process in pellet feed production, and the conditioning effect directly affects the internal structure and appearance quality of pellets. Steam quality and conditioning time are two important factors that affect the conditioning effect. High-quality and dry saturated steam can provide more heat to raise the temperature of the material. The longer the conditioning time, the higher the degree of starch paste, and the greater the hardness of the feed pellets.

conditioners

For general livestock and poultry, the conditioning temperature is kept at 70-80℃ by adjusting the amount of steam added, and the conditioning time is controlled by changing the length of the conditioner, the angle of the paddle, and the rotational speed to about 30 seconds. For fish materials, it generally adopts a double or multi-layer conditioner to increase the conditioning temperature and extend the conditioning time. It is more conducive to improving the stability of fish pellets in the water, and the hardness of the pellets also increases accordingly.

In the processing of chicken feed plants, the factors affecting the hardness of the pellets are far more than these. As more and more scientific and technical workers are enthusiastic about feed processing technology research, more and more methods to regulate the hardness of the pellets are mastered. RICHI Machinery can provide various chicken feed manufacturing plants to produce different feed pellets to suit the needs of animals. If you have this intention, just send an inquiry to us.
