Livestock Feed Pellet Machine

This type of livestock feed pellet making machine can be used for the processing of livestockfeeds such as pigs, cattle, sheep, rabbits, etc. It can also be used for the processing of other feeds, such as poultry feeds, aquatic feeds, etc., by adjusting the design of the conditioner and other pellet machine components.

In order to improve the sanitary requirements and palatability of feed, the simplest and most direct method is to pelletize the feed. This livestock feed pelleting technology has been widely used in the production of livestock.

With the increasing improvement and perfection of feed production equipment, the production cost is reduced. Further reduction, the application range of feed pelleting technology will also become wider and wider.

In addition to the above-mentioned advantages of pelletizing feed, pelletized feed by livestock feed pellet machine is convenient for long-distance transportation and long-term storage, avoiding picky eaters by animals, so to a large extent, it can also significantly improve the digestion and utilization of nutrients in the livestock feed.

Almost all livestock feeders agree that animals make better gains on pelleted feed than a meal ration. The most logical reasons are that the heat generated in conditioning and pelleting make the feedstuffs more digestible by breaking down the starches, the pellet simply puts the feed in a concentrated form, and pelleting minimizes waste during the eating process.

When pelleted feed is fed, each animal receives a well-balanced diet by preventing the animal from picking and choosing between ingredients. Tests have shown that most animals, if given the choice between the same feed in pellet or mash form will prefer the pellets.

Livestock Feed Pellet Making Machine Price: FOB 7000-100000USD

What's Livestock animal feed pellet machine price? Because different customers have different requirements for pellets, there will be many differences in the details of our feed pellet machine design. Therefore, the actual feed pellet maker machine price for different livetock feed machine projects are different. Even if the customer wants to produce the same type of pellets, if the customer's feed formula, raw materials, and production technology are different, the livestock feed pelletizer machine ring die, conditioner, etc. will be different.

The working principle of the livestock feed pelletizer: The livestock feed pelletizing machine is a process of compacting the powdered feed and extruding the die hole into the pellet feed. First, the powdered compound feed is tempered with steam or water, and then compressed into columnar pellets with a feed pelletizer, and then the position of the cutter is adjusted to obtain the desired pellet size.

The above content is the working principle of a single livestock feed pellet forming machine, but generally speaking, the livestock feed pellet maker does not work alone, and is mainly used in the animal feed production line of the farm or the production line of the feed factory. The related process flow is as follows:

In modern livestock sheep pig cattle feed mills, the ingredients are usually stored in bins above a weighing system composed of one or more scales. Those ingredients which are of coarse texture, such as whole grains and other fibrous materials, are ground into a fine meal to facilitate the pelleting and mixing process.

Weighted quantities of each ingredient (either as a batch or continuously) are thoroughly mixed (either in a batch mixer of a continuous flow mixing unit) and then conveyed to a bin above the livestock feed pellet mill.

Some manufacturers have installed systems to grind all of their premixed materials prior to entering the livestock feed pellet mill machine. Data is not available which indicates this has been an advantage or disadvantage on a consistent basis as far as durability is concerned.

The pellet feed made by livestock feed pellet milling machine requires a uniform size, with a diameter of about 3-20mm, a length of 1.5-2 times the diameter, a smooth surface, no cracks, and a compact structure. The pellet feed has different diameter requirements for different livestock. In the production of pellet feed, there are several things we should pay attention to, because it will affect its forming and quality.

What's the influence of livestock feed raw material composition

1. Most grain feeds are energy feeds, which contain high starch, but too high starch content will result in low pellet formation and reduced hardness.
2. When the feed crude fiber content is too high, due to its low cohesiveness, it will reduce the output and molding rate of the livestock feed pellet machine, and accelerate the wear of the die hole.
3. Feed ingredients with high fat content or too much fat will make the pellets soft and loose, making it difficult to form. According to practical data, it is advisable to add 1-2% of fat.

What's the influence of the physical properties of livestock feed raw materials

1. Pelleting machine efficiency has a great relationship with the density of raw materials. Generally, high-density feed pellets have high yield, while low-density feed has low yield.
2. The moisture content before pelleting is an extremely important parameter. Its maximum limit moisture content is 18%. If it exceeds 18%, it will cause blockage of the die holes, so it is generally appropriate to control it at about 16%.
3. If the raw materials contain various hard sundries such as metal impurities and sand, it will not only affect the quality of the finished feed, reduce the feeding effect, but also severely wear or block the mold rollers and reduce the efficiency of feed pelleting. In the production process, the raw materials must pass through the preliminary cleaning and iron removal device before entering the livestock feed pellet processing machine.
4. The particle size of feed can be divided into coarse, medium and fine. Generally, medium and fine granules have good granulation ability, which can improve granulation yield and quality, reduce energy consumption, and extend the life of feed pellet mill ring die.

What's the influence of livestock feed pellet machine die

1. The impact of the ring die of the livestock feed pellet machine on the quality of pellets mainly includes the compression ratio of the ring die, the aperture, the diameter and depth of the pressure hole, the daily maintenance of the ring die and the smoothness of the ring die wall.
   To ensure the quality of pellet feed, ring dies with different compression ratios and apertures should be used for different types of feed. For example, suckling pig feed is sensitive to hardness, meat and poultry feed requires high powder content, and aquatic feed has special requirements for water resistance, etc. The compression ratio should be determined according to the specific feed types, customer needs and the diversity of raw materials.
2. The material of the livestock feed pellet machine ring die also has a certain effect on the appearance, quality and hardness of the pellets. The pellet feed produced by ordinary steel ring die and stainless steel ring die is obviously different.
3. The gap between the livestock feed pellet machine ring die and rollers is one of the important factors that affect the granulation effect. In addition, when the surface of the roller shell is unevenly worn and severely worn, it will affect the quality of the pellets and affect the output.
4. After each pelletizing, the livestock feed pellet machine ring die must be cleaned with oily material to avoid the inner wall of the ring die from becoming rough due to corrosion. Factors such as the concave in the inlet of the ring die, the roughness and scratches on the inner wall of the ring die will cause the quality of the particles to decrease.

The above are the precautions for making pellet feed with livestock feed pellet mill. Finally, we remind everyone that pellet feed should be properly kept after production, and attention should be paid to moisture, ventilation and rodent prevention to prevent feed from mildew and loss.

What's The nutritional properties of fats

1. Oil is a source of high heat energy. The energy of oil is equivalent to 2.25 times that of carbohydrates and protein. Adding oil is easy to formulate into high-energy feed, which is especially important for piglets and other livestock and poultry animals.
2. Oil is one of the important sources of essential fatty acids. The lack of essential fatty acids can cause skin keratinization, growth inhibition, reproductive dysfunction, and decreased production performance.
3. Grease has an additional thermal effect.
4. Oil can promote the absorption of pigments and fat-soluble vitamins.

What's The benefits of adding fat to feed made by livestock feed pelletizer

1. Improve the palatability of feed and increase feed intake.
2. Improve the energy concentration of feed. High-energy diets are formulated to meet the energy requirements of certain animals with higher energy requirements.
3. Prevent dust and improve appearance. By adding grease, the generation of dust can be effectively controlled, and at the same time, the appearance of the feed can be improved, the gloss can be increased, and the commercial value of the feed can be improved.
4. Reduce mechanical wear and improve pellet feed production efficiency. Adding grease can reduce the mechanical wear caused by the feed crushing and mixing process, prolong the mechanical life, and facilitate the pelleting of pellets.

What are the Precautions for adding grease in livestock feed pellets production process

1. Control the number of additions, not as many as possible. In general, young poultry should be added more appropriately, and pigs and poultry should be added less in the late fattening period; highly cultivated modern breeds should be added more, and local breeds can be added less. It is difficult for high-yielding pigs and poultry to take in enough energy for the grain-based diets. Therefore, it is necessary to add fat. It is best to conduct small batch experiments in pig farms and other livestock and poultry farms, and determine the addition ratio based on the test results.
2. Ensure the quality of grease. There must be no peculiar smell. Prevent adulteration, oxidation, denaturation, mold, toxic, and contamination. Need to add appropriate amount of antioxidants to prevent rancidity. Commonly used grease antioxidants are BHT (Dibutyl Hydroxytoluene) or BHA (Butyl Hydroxyanisole). The two are often used in combination, and the usual concentration is 0.005% to 0.02%. But ethoxyquin can not be used. Because ethoxyquin is volatilized before it is oxidized in the active oxygen method.
3. Pay attention to the energy ratio. When adding fats and oils, the supply of protein and amino acids should be increased accordingly to prevent the lack of protein and amino acids due to the addition of fats.
4. After adding fat, the supply of vitamin B12 and vitamin C must be increased. Facilitate the absorption and utilization of fat and improve the utilization rate of livestock pellet feed.
