Use: Used to crush pellets with a diameter of 1.8-5.0mm. (The pellet size after crushing is about 1mm)
Cost: $2,000-20,000
Working Principle of poultry feed crumble machine
Poultry feed crumble machine is a device designed for processing cooled large-pellet feed into small pellets suitable for young poultry such as chicks and ducklings. It supports two modes: you can choose to crush the feed or let the feed pass directly.
- When working, the pellet feed enters the machine from the upper feed hopper and falls between the two rollers of the equipment under the action of gravity. The two rollers will rotate in opposite directions, one with a fast speed and the other with a slow speed, crushing the large pellets into small pellets by shearing, squeezing and scraping, and then discharge them from the discharge port.
- The equipment is equipped with an adjustment device to control the gap between the two rollers, thereby controlling the pellet size of the feed after crushing. If crushing is not required, just adjust the bypass device, and the material will avoid the rollers and flow out directly from one side.
- In order to protect the machine, when hard objects or uncrushed pellets enter, the spring structure inside the equipment will automatically increase the gap between the rollers to allow these materials to pass smoothly and avoid damage to the machine.
- The whole machine consists of a feed hopper, an adjusting door, a fast roller, a slow roller, a guide device, a discharge port, a motor and a lubrication system. Each part cooperates closely, and the operation and maintenance are simple. It is an indispensable and practical equipment for feed processing in farms.
What is poultry feed crumble machine used for?
Poultry feed crumble mill, also called an animal feed grinder machine, is a device specially used to crush large pellet feed into small pellets. Because young poultry such as chicks and ducklings have small mouths and weak digestion ability in the early stages of growth, they can only eat small feed pellets. At this time, a crusher is needed to crush large pellets into small pellets suitable for them to eat.
In the process of feed processing, if you use a pelletizer to press small pellets directly, although you can make them, the output is very low, and the machine consumes a lot of power and has low efficiency. Pressing them into larger pellets first and then using a pelletizer to process them into small pellets can not only improve production efficiency, but also save a lot of electricity. The advantage of doing this is that the overall output can be increased by 3 to 4 times; energy consumption is reduced by 2 to 3 times. Therefore, a crusher is an indispensable part of almost all feed mills and farm pellet feed production lines.
Generally speaking, we will first make large pellets with a diameter of 4.5mm to 6mm, and then use a pelletizer to crush them into small pellets with a diameter of 0.7mm to 2.5mm to meet the nutritional absorption needs of different poultry at different growth stages. In summary, poultry crumbles chicken feed machine is an important equipment to help improve feed production efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and make it easier for young poultry to eat.
For example, in a recent chicken feed production line in Uzbekistan, this two-step pelleting and crumbling process significantly improved production efficiency while ensuring feed suitability for young birds. In summary, the poultry crumbles chicken feed machine is an important piece of equipment that helps reduce energy consumption and ensures optimal feed intake for poultry.
What are the advantages of poultry feed crumble machine?
Poultry feed crumble machine can not only improve the crushing efficiency, but also adjust the pellet size according to different breeding stages; it has a reasonable structure and is easy to use. In a complete poultry feed production line, it plays a key role in post-pellet processing, helping ensure feed is suitable for poultry of various ages. It is an indispensable and important equipment in the production of pellets such as poultry feed and pig feed. The following are some of its main features:
1、Scientific structural design and stable performance
This machine adopts advanced design concepts, the main components are of high quality, reliable performance, stable working process, and very convenient maintenance. The whole machine has a compact structure and small footprint, but high output, which is very suitable for use in large and medium-sized feed factories.
2、Efficient crushing, adjustable pellet size
Through the cooperation of two or three rollers, the differential rotation of the “fast roller” and the “slow roller” is used to squeeze, shear and tear the pellet feed to achieve the ideal crushing effect. The spacing between the rollers can be freely adjusted as needed, and it is no problem to want larger or smaller pellets.
3、Special tooth shape design, more uniform crushing
According to different feed types and pellet size requirements, rollers with different tooth shapes can be equipped, and the feed pellet size after crushing is more regular, more uniform, and more palatable.
4、No need for crushing to pass
If some feed pellets do not need to be crushed, the machine can also let them pass directly through the “bypass device” without entering the crushing area. Moreover, the machine can be automatically shut down through the travel switch in the bypass state to avoid waste.
5、Complete protection functions
The equipment is equipped with a safety protection device inside. If hard foreign objects (such as iron blocks and small stones) enter the machine by mistake, the spring structure will automatically let the roller “give way” to avoid damage to the machine and protect the safety of the equipment.
6、Visual operation and more convenient maintenance
The large opening observation window design allows you to directly see the internal operation of the machine, which is convenient for operators to check and maintain at any time, saving time and effort.
7、Energy saving and noise reduction, reliable operation
The belt drive or narrow V-belt drive system is adopted, which not only has smooth transmission and low noise, but also has stable operation, energy saving and high efficiency. It is one of the ideal auxiliary equipment for modern feed factories.
8、Durable and low maintenance cost
The crushing roller is made of high chromium alloy, with high hardness and long life. It supports repeated repair and use, which saves maintenance costs in the long run.
Poultry feed crumble machine classification and technical parameters
In modern feed processing, poultry crumbles chicken feed machines play a vital role in producing feed suitable for different growth stages.
