Manufacturing process of animal feed pellet production line

Animal feed production line processing flow introduction

1.Receiving and initial cleaning process

Bulk raw materials corn and soybean meal are received. The first thing to do in the initial cleaning receiving process is to remove impurities in the raw materials, and then transport them to the silo according to the plan through the receiving equipment and demagnetization equipment.
When loading and unloading, the raw materials should be checked and placed in the warehouse to ensure the cleanliness of the receiving environment.

2.Batching process

The feeder under each batching bin feeds the batching scale, and the batching scale weighs each raw material, and then transports it to the powder bin, and then adds a small amount of premix, which can improve the batching accuracy.

3.Crushing process

The crushing process refers to feeding the raw materials in the crushing bin into the crusher to crush them into powder, and then sending them to the mixing bin for standby through the conveying machinery. The purpose of this process is to control the particle size of the material.
The efficiency of the crusher designed in this process determines the production capacity of this set of process equipment. It is also the process with the highest energy consumption in the production of powdered materials.

4.Mixing process

Discharge the crushed raw materials into the mixer, then add oil to the feed in the mixer, mix all the components evenly, and mix the raw materials evenly. For the production of pellet feed, the mixed powder will be sent to the pelletizing bin.

5.Pelleting & Cooling process

The mixed materials are sent to the pelletizing chamber after magnetic separation and conditioning in the pelletizing bin, and pressed into pellet feed by animal feed pellet machine, cooled by the cooler, and screened out standard pellet finished materials by screening equipment.
During cooling, the cooling tower should be adjusted according to factors such as variety, indoor temperature and humidity, and season to achieve qualified pellet temperature and humidity.

6.Finished product packaging process

The finished feed is weighed by the packing scale in the finished product bin, packed in packaging bags, sealed with edible labels, and transported to the warehouse. In some feed production line designs, qualified pellet products enter the bulk bin and are transported out of the factory by bulk trucks.

The main commonly used equipment in animal feed production line

Crushing equipment

mainly used to crush feed raw materials with unqualified particle size to meet the requirements of feed particle size. According to the different requirements of the crushing particle size, the crushing equipment for animal feed production line also has different forms, mainly including hammer mill, vertical crusher, roller crusher, micro-crusher, ultra-fine crusher, etc.

High output and low energy consumption

◆ Advanced droplet crushing chamber design, reasonable secondary crushing structure, the output increased by 20% compared with other models;

◆ Both sides of the feed port are equipped with wear-resistant tooth plates, which can effectively destroy the logistics circulation, increase the impact, rubbing and shearing of the material, and improve the crushing efficiency;

◆ The “star triangle” arrangement is adopted to increase the screening area, improve the screening rate, and effectively improve the crushing efficiency;

◆ Set the shaft end air supplement device to supplement the air volume of the crushing chamber, destroy the crushing circulation while reducing the bearing temperature rise;

◆ Set two kinds of hammer screen gap, two different rotor configuration, suitable for aquatic feed and livestock feed raw material grinding, respectively improve their efficiency.

Ultra-stable and durable

◆ The whole base is milled and processed to ensure the stability of the whole operation;

◆ The hammer is made of special alloy steel and hardened by suspended tungsten carbide surface treatment to achieve higher strength and durability;

◆ Rotor can work in positive and negative direction, longer service life;

◆ High-precision dynamic balance detection rotor, more stable operation, lower noise;

◆ Test machine by machine, running time > 45min, stability is better than the national standard, vibration speed up to 2-4mm/s (national standard ≤16mm/s).

Easy to operate more user-friendly

◆ Shiftable operation door and linkage screen press mechanism, more convenient operation and maintenance;

◆ Equipped with safety interlock device to protect personal safety;

◆ Various feeding devices such as screw and impeller can be selected according to actual needs.

Granulating pellet equipment

It is a device that makes powdered compound feed into granular compound feed. There are two forms: ring die and flat die. At present, animal feed factories mainly use ring die granulators. Animal feed pellet mills for animal feed line are usually equipped with feeders and conditioners. Depending on the requirements of conditioning, they can be equipped with single-layer conditioners, double-chamber conditioners, three-chamber conditioners or double-shaft differential conditioners.

Cooling equipment

The temperature of pelletized feed is generally around 80℃~90℃, and the moisture content is around 16%. It must be cooled and hydrated. The cooling equipment uses suction to reduce the material temperature to a temperature close to room temperature, and reduces the moisture content of the feed while cooling.

Grading equipment

It is used to separate a small part of the powder that cannot be made into particles during granulation and part of the powder caused by crushing particles with grading equipment to ensure the quality of the finished pellet feed. The separated powder needs to be sent back to the animal pellet mill for granulation. The grading equipment mainly includes rotary screens, vibrating screens, etc.
