Feed Pellet Machine

What is feed pellet machine?

Feed pellet machine is a special equipment used to process feed raw materials into granular form. It processes the feed raw materials, including crushing, mixing, conditioning and other processes, and then uses mechanical extrusion, shearing and friction to press the feed raw materials into particles with certain specifications and shapes. It consists of a feeding device, a pressing device, a tempering device, a transmission system and a control system.

Feed pellet machines have a wide range of applications, mainly in the livestock breeding industry. They can process a variety of feed raw materials, including grains, soybean meal, fish meal, bone meal, etc., to make pellet feed suitable for different animals. Pellet feed has the advantages of uniform ingredient distribution, easy digestion and absorption, reduced waste and reduced environmental pollution. In addition, pellet feed is easy to store and transport, which improves feed utilization and production efficiency.

What is feed pellet machine used for?

Feed pellet machine is a kind of mechanical equipment widely used in livestock and poultry breeding industry. Its main function is to process powdery feed raw materials into granular or lumpy finished feed.

The feed pellet machine has the following application scenarios:

Poultry farms: In poultry farms, feed pellet machines are mainly used to process animal feeds such as chicken feed, duck feed, goose feed, pig feed, and cattle feed. Pelleted feed is easier for livestock to swallow and digest, and is less likely to be wasted.

Aquaculture farms: In aquaculture farms, feed pellet machines are mainly used to process fish feed, shrimp feed, crab feed, etc. Pelleted feed is more suitable for the feeding habits of aquatic animals and is less likely to pollute water quality.

Pet feed factory: In pet feed factories, feed pellet machines are mainly used to process cat food, dog food, rabbit food, bird food, etc. Pelleted pet feed is easy to store and transport, and is more popular with pets.

Biomass power plant: In biomass power plants, feed pellet machines are mainly used to process biomass waste such as straw, wood chips, and rice husks. Pelleted biomass fuel is easier to burn and has a higher calorific value, making it a clean and renewable energy source.

Feed processing plant: In feed processing plants, feed pellet machines are mainly used to process various animal compound feeds. Pelleted animal feed is easier to store and transport, and is more suitable for digestion and absorption by livestock.

In practical applications of feed pellet machines, different models and specifications of equipment can be selected according to different needs to meet different processing requirements.

Types of Feed Pellet Machine

When it comes to the different types of feed pellet machines, the three common types include electric feed pellet machines, diesel feed pellet machines, and gasoline feed pellet machines.

Electric feed pellet machine: The electric feed pellet machine is driven by an electric motor as a power source. Because the motor has low power and speed, it is usually used to process small batches of feed pellets, such as feed processing for poultry, rabbits, etc.

Diesel feed pellet machine: The diesel feed pellet machine is driven by a diesel engine as a power source. It has high power and rotation speed and is suitable for small and medium-sized farms or farms. Diesel feed pellet machines can handle large quantities of feed ingredients.

Gasoline feed pellet machine: The gasoline feed pellet machine is driven by a gasoline engine as the power source. Gasoline engines have smaller power and higher speed, making them suitable for small farms or farms. Usually small in size and portable, easy to carry and move.

What is the principle of feed pellet machine?

The working principle of feed pellet machine mainly includes two steps: extrusion and cutting. Details as follows:

Extrusion: The feed pellet machine sends feed raw materials into the extrusion chamber through the feeding system. In the extrusion chamber, the feed materials are gradually pushed forward by the rotating extrusion screw. During the advancement process, the feed raw materials are affected by extrusion force and friction, and the temperature and pressure gradually increase. This causes the starch and protein in the feed ingredients to gelatinize and form a certain cohesive force.

Cutting: When the feed material is pushed to the exit of the extrusion chamber, it encounters a rotating cutting knife or die. A cutting knife or die will cut the extruded feed ingredients into pellets. The form of cutting can be rotary cutting or pressure cutting, depending on the design of the feed pellet machine. The cut granular feed is discharged through the discharge port to complete the entire processing process.

What is the composition structure of feed pellet machine?

The structure of a feed pellet machine usually includes a host machine, a feeding system, a feeding system, a transmission system, a cooling system and a control system.

Main machine: It consists of a frame, spindle, roller, mold plate, etc. It is the core component of the feed pellet machine and is responsible for pressing raw materials into pellets.

Feeding system: It consists of a feeding hopper, a feeding roller, a feeding spiral, etc., and is responsible for transporting raw materials to the host machine.

Transmission system: composed of motor, pulley, sprocket, etc., responsible for transmitting power to the host machine.

Cooling system: It consists of fans, radiators, etc., and is responsible for dissipating the heat generated by the host.

Control system: It consists of an electric control box, buttons, instruments, etc., and is responsible for controlling the operation of the feed pellet machine.
