What sections are included in a complete feed pellet production line?

A complete feed pellet production line requires not only one or two equipments. As far as the main equipment is concerned, there are seven types according to the order of the process section: feed crusher → feed mixer → feed pelletizer → countercurrent cooler → feed pellet Pulverizer → Feed particle classification screen → Automatic weighing and packing machine. The following RICHI will introduce to you which sections of a complete feed pellet production line?

What sections are included in a complete feed pellet production line?

(1) Raw Material Grinding Process:

The feed grinder can grind the raw material ingredients to the required size. The grind fitness is different of different grinders. We supply four types of feed grinders. The hammer mills are suitable for small-sized or medium-sized feed pelletizing plants. The wide chamber fine grinders and water drop hammer mills are usually used in large-sized and medium-sized feed pelletizing factories. The ultra fine feed grinder is designed for grinding raw material of special aquatic feed.

(2) Feed Material Mixing Process:

Mixing is considered to be one of the essential operations in feed pellet processing. Lack of proper mixing may lead to reduced diet uniformity, affecting the feed pellet quality. We supply two kinds of high efficiency feed mixers: twin-shaft mixer for mixing powdered or particle material and screw belt mixer for mixing powdered material. Both of them can be equipped with atomizing spraying system to add needed liquids, which can improve the feed pellet quality.

(3) Feed Pelletizing Process:

Feed pellet mill is the main equipment of the whole production line. There are two common kind of feed pellet mills: ring die feed pellet mill and flat die feed pellet mill. If you want to produce feed pellet with large quantity, the ring die feed pellet mill is the ideal choice. If your demanded quantity is small, you can choose the flat die feed pellet mill. Also, we supply the aquatic feed pellet mill for pressing fish feed pellet and shrimp feed pellet etc. If you have more question about customized feed pellet production requirement, please feel free toleave message or send email for more support.

(4) Feed Pellet Cooling Process:

The feed pellet pressed out by the feed pellet mill are hot and moist. They can't be crushed, screened or packed immediately. Counterflow feed pellet cooler is designed to cool or dry the feed pellet. It can decrease the temperature and moisture of the feed pellet, preparing for the following processes.

(5) Feed Pellet Crushing Process:

Different poultry, livestock or aquatic feed pellet are with different sizes. Some big ones should be crushed into small ones. Roll type feed pellet crumbler is just the equipment for feed pellet crushing. Double-roll feed pellet crumbler is suitable for crushing poultry feed, such as chicken feed, duck feed and goose feed etc. Three-roll feed pellet crumbler is suitable to crush aquatic feed including fish feed and shrimp feed etc.

(6) Feed Pellet Screening and Grading Process:

The crushed feed pellet are with different sizes, and there may be some powder. Therotary grading sieve can be used to screen and grade the feed pellet. After processing, you can get the qualified feed pellet without fine powder.

(7) Feed Pellet Packing Process:

The feed pellet should be packed for transporting, storing or selling. Automatic weighing and packing machine can weigh and pack the pellet automatically with high accuracy.

(8) Automatic PLC Control System:

With the automatic PLC control system, the production line is with high efficiency and convenient operation.

RICHI machinery can produce feed pellet production lines of 1-2 tons, 3-4 tons, 5-7 tons, 8-10 tons, 10-15 tons, 16-20 tons and more than 20 tons. If you want to know about these production line equipment or individual equipment, please consult us!
