main parts of the animal feed pellet making machine

Animal feed pellet making machine is mainly composed of three main parts: feeder, conditioner and main machine. Among them, the main machine consists of body, chassis, spindle base plate, hollow spindle assembly, ring mold, rollers, tool parts, safety devices, main motor drive system and other parts. The following is a brief introduction to the main components of the pellet maker.

Variable frequency speed feeder

The feeder is equipped with frequency conversion speed control motor, which can control the feeding volume and feeding speed according to the demand of pelletizing. It can be configured according to customer’s demand.

Stainless Steel Conditioner

The machine is equipped with stainless steel moderator, and the number of layers of moderator can also be configured according to customer’s pelletizing requirements.

Pelletizing chamber

The pelleting chamber is an important working part of the animal feed pellet maker. It is here that animal feed is formed from raw material sorghum, maize, soya meal, rice and wheat etc.

Ring die and roller

Both parts are made of 304 stainless steel with precision technology. Strong durability and large pressing force. The material is mainly converted into feed particles through the extrusion of these two working parts.

Cutting device

The cutter device is available in three configurations: fixed carbide blades, rotary carbide blades, and rotary alloy steel blades. You can choose the desired style according to your needs.

Motor

Regarding the motors used in the granulator, we adopt imported Siemens motors with strong power and low power consumption.

What are the advantages of pellet feed processed by animal feed pellet making machine?

As the development of feed pellet machine technology becomes more and more mature and the demand for feed in the farming industry is increasing day by day, and more and more people choose to join the pellet manufacturing industry. So, what are the advantages of the feed processed by animal feed pellet machine? Here are a few advantages specifically.

Avoid picky eating

The feed formula covers a variety of nutrients and is nutritionally comprehensive, which can prevent animals from selecting their favorite ingredients from the feed powder and refusing to take in other ingredients, and avoid animals from having poor appetite and nutritional deficiencies due to picky eating.

high compensation rate

In the process of pelletizing, due to the combined effect of moisture, temperature and pressure, the feed undergoes some physicochemical reactions, which makes the starch pasteurized and the enzyme activity enhanced, and enables the fed animals to digest the feed more effectively, which translates into the increase of body weight.

Reduce pollution

Avoid automatic grading of feed ingredients. In the powder storage and transportation process due to a variety of powder volume quality is not the same, it is very easy to produce grading. After making granules, there is no grading of feed ingredients, and granules are not easy to dust, in the feeding process of granular materials on the air and moisture pollution is much less than the powder.

Good mobility

Feed pellets are easy to manage. Many powders, feeds with added molasses or high fat and urea feeds often stick in the silo. Pelletized feeds rarely stick due to their good flowability. Pellets are most popular for large-scale dairy or poultry farms that utilize automatic feeders.

Sterilization

The salmonella bacteria in animal feed can be killed by the feed pellet mill processing. Salmonella bacteria are retained in the animal tissues after being ingested by the animal to avoid gastrointestinal diseases of salmonella that people will get if they eat animals infected with this bacteria.

Transportation economy

After pelleting, the bulk density of feed can generally be increased by 40%-100%, allowing even small warehouses to store sufficient feed, reducing the cost of expanding storage. It also significantly improves transportation efficiency for farms that need to transport feed across regions.

FAQ about the animal feed pellet making machine

what role does the conditioner play in the animal feed production process?

Conditioner is the main equipment in the conditioning process of animal feed pellet machine, its main function is to heat and condition the material before pelleting, so that the material fully absorbs heat, moisture and liquid, so that the starch paste, to achieve or close to the requirements of the pelleting process, and at the same time, complete the material delivery from the feeder to the pellet maker machine animal feed.

The functions of the conditioner of the animal feed pellet machine are:

Promote the pasting of starch and protein modification in feed, improve the quality of pellets and digestibility of feed.
Improve pelleting efficiency. By adding steam, the material is softened and has plasticity, which is conducive to extrusion molding and reduces the wear and tear on the ring die and pressure roller, the working parts of the cow feed pellet making machine, improves the output of the pellet machine, and reduces the power consumption.
Kill salmonella in feed. The combined effect of high temperature in the tempering process and friction heat and pressure in the pelletizing process can kill salmonella, which is beneficial to the health of livestock and poultry.
Increase the ratio of liquid raw materials (molasses, oil and fat) added in the middle of feed.

Applications of the animal pellet making machine

The machine is widely used in large, medium and small animal feed plants and farms.
Produce chicken feed pellets, duck feed pellets, pig feed pellets, rabbit feed pellets, cattle feed pellets, shrimp feed pellets and other animal feed pellets.
