Cattle feed pellet plants or workers in the operation of the pelletizer due to the design of the production process and operating technology and other factors, will lead to feed pellet quality and production did not meet the customer’s expected requirements, there will be some such as rough surface of the pellets, high powder content, easy to break, uneven distribution of raw materials, and other things we do not want to see.

As a businessman with more than 30 years of experience in the production of pellet machines, RICHI summarizes the main factors affecting the efficiency of cattle pellet machine:

Raw material treatment

First of all, the first factor that affects the pelletizing of pellet cattle feed machine is the treatment of raw materials. In the selection of the machine and the treatment of raw materials must be combined with the characteristics of raw materials. For example, raw materials with high starch content will be easily pasted, these raw materials are tempered by the tempering device, with a great deal of viscosity, which is conducive to pellet molding. As for raw materials with high crude fiber content, it will make the ring die friction increase, which will easily cause the machine to consume too much energy, and then a certain amount of grease should be added. This will not only be conducive to the smooth passage of materials through the mold holes, but also will make the finished cattle feed pellets smooth surface, rich in nutrients.

In addition, the degree of material crushing should also be based on the situation, crushing too fine, will lead to pelletizer pelletizing strength increase; crushing too coarse will increase the wear and tear of the ring die and pressure rollers, cattle feed particles molding difficulties, there will be a low yield, high rate of powder problems. Another point to note is that the mixing degree and mixing time of the material. Different materials need different mixing time, mixing uniformity also need to pay attention to, mixing coefficient needs to reach about 5%.

Feeding speed and volume

Many customers usually think of pelletizing problems when they encounter low productivity and check the pelletizing chamber for problems. But in fact, the feed controls can also greatly affect the production efficiency. Feeding speed, feeding volume directly determines the pelletizing speed. When the granulator granulation speed problems must be investigated whether the feeding volume is stable, can avoid the emergence of the pelletizer because the feeding volume is not stable intermittent situation, to ensure that the pelletizer does not stop, can be uniform and full workload.

Ring mold

Ring die is the main working parts of the pellet machine for cattle feed, choose the right ring die will be greatly beneficial to the high efficiency of the pellet cattle feed machine. First of all, the material of ring die, it is better to choose the stainless steel material with high wear resistance and long service life. Then the user should choose the appropriate ring die compression ratio according to their own production needs, if the compression ratio is too small, the material through the ring die die hole time is short, but easy to loose, and the surface smoothness is low. But if the compression ratio is too large, the tightness of the finished feed pellets will increase, but the overall output will increase, the corresponding energy consumption will also increase. Generally speaking, the most suitable compression ratio for livestock and poultry feed pellets is below 10.

Production operation of workers

After troubleshooting the causes of the pellet making machine for cattle feed, the operation of the workers will also affect the pelletizer efficiency. Workers should correctly adjust all parts of the cattle feed pelletizing machine before the machine runs. For example, the distance between the pressure roller and the ring mold is generally controlled at 0,05-0.30. Workers can open the pellet making machine for cattle feed, observe whether there are pellets smoothly out of the mold, pay attention to the current change. In order to prevent the machine debris into the die, you should open the operating door of the machine outside the discharge door, drain the machine mixed with debris material. When the debris material is clean, the material can be introduced into the press mold.

The place that most carefully need to clean the conditioner and pelletizng chamber of the pellet machine. Pelleting machine modulator recommended weekly to half-monthly cleaning, steam into the action with the feed, easy to adhere to the modulator wall, shaft, paddle. Pelleting chamber should be at the end of each shift on the oil thoroughly cleaned, in the variety of adjustments, if two varieties of cross-contamination, must be cleaned up after the next variety of system!
