In order to improve production efficiency and quality, modern livestock and poultry farms have widely adopted a variety of advanced technology and equipment. Among them, concentrated feed production line is an essential important equipment.
Automatic concentrated feed pellet production line
processing capacity：1-100T/h
Application scope：Ruminant and livestock poultry concentrated feed processing machine
Concentrated feed processing line is a kind of mechanical equipment that can grind, mix and dry raw materials such as grains and beans to make concentrated feed. This equipment is widely used in the raising process of pigs, chickens, cattle, sheep and other livestock and poultry, which can greatly save labor and time costs, and also ensure the quality and nutrition of feed.
The main functions of the concentrated feed processing line include: grinding, crushing, mixing and drying. The realization of these functions mainly depends on various parts of the mechanical design, such as rotors, hammers, mixers, etc. These components work together to ensure that the feed retains its original nutrient content after processing, while also meeting the chewing and digestion needs of livestock and poultry.
Concentrated feed, also known as protein supplement feed, is a semi-finished compound feed made up of protein feed (fish meal, soybean cake, etc.), mineral feed (bone meal, stone powder, etc.), and pre mixed additives. By adding a certain proportion of energy feed (such as corn, sorghum, barley, etc.), it becomes a complete feed that meets the nutritional needs of animals. It has the advantages of high protein content (generally between 30% and 50%), comprehensive nutritional content, and easy use. Generally, the proportion in full price compound feed is 20% to 40%.
Processing technology of Concentrated Feed Production Line
Concentrated feed processing technology. The production process of concentrated feed and compound feed powder is similar, including the receiving and cleaning of raw materials, crushing, metering and batching, mixing, weighing and packaging, and other stages.
Cleaning of raw materials
Impurities in feed raw materials, not only affect the quality of feed products and directly related to feed processing equipment and personal safety, serious can cause damage to the entire equipment, affecting the smooth progress of feed production, it should be removed in time. The cleaning equipment of the feed mill is mainly based on screening and magnetic separation equipment, and the screening equipment removes large and long debris such as stones, mud and sacks in the raw materials, and the magnetic separation equipment mainly removes iron impurities.
Crushing of raw materials
The process of feed grinding is based on the required particle size, feed variety and other conditions. According to the number of crushing of raw materials, it can be divided into one crushing process and cycle crushing process, and two crushing process. According to the combination form with the batching process, it can be divided into the first batching process and the first crushing process.
Batching process
There are three kinds of dosing methods: artificial dosing, automatic dosing and micro-weighing dosing. Manual dosing is used in small feed mills and feed processing workshops. This dosing process is to manually feed various components that participate in the dosing. Electronic load sensors are widely used in the feed industry, it is easy to connect with other electronic control systems, with high accuracy, generally large feed mills use large weights with aniseed, small scales with small materials in the form of reducing the dosing time and improving the dosing accuracy. In order to improve the accuracy of dosing and reduce the dosing time, the techniques used are as follows: first, single and twisted-dragon feeding is used. For large proportion of materials, twisted-dragon feeding can be used at the same time. Second, the frequency conversion control technology is used to adjust the batching speed by adjusting the working frequency of the motor.
Mixing process
Raw material mixing is an important process in the production of compound or premix, and its accuracy directly affects the quality of feed and ensures the uniformity of feed. More commonly used is the batch mixer, this mixing method is more convenient for changing the formula, and the mixing between each batch of materials will be less. The order of feeding should be correct, the general feeding order is carrier, trace element, carrier. Pay attention to the return air of the mixer to avoid causing blanking problems. To the best mixing time of each mixer is different, the best mixing time should be determined while ensuring the mixing uniformity. The general mixing time of batch material is 5 minutes. Pay attention to the cleaning of the equipment to ensure the best state of operation of the equipment.
Packaging
For packaging storage, transportation and sales, automatic packaging machines can weigh and pack feed with high precision.
