Animal Feed Mill Plant

What is The Animal Feed Mill Plant?

Starting an animal feed milling machine has been a profitable business endeavor in many countries. The animal feed production line is mechanical equipment that specializes in making animal feed. For example, it can produce chicken feed, cattle feed, sheep feed, pig feed, horse feed, cat food, dog food, fish feed, shrimp feed, and so on. How to make animal feed? You need animal feed production line equipment.

Herm machinery computer control animal feed pellet plant production line with an output range of 1ton/hour to 100ton/hour, Complete animal feed production line includes raw material storage, cleaning machine, crushing machine, feed mixing machine, animal feed pellet machine, cooling machine, screening machine, packaging systems, transportation, and electronic control system.

The complete animal feed pellet production line uses barley, forage, pulses, bran, wheat, corn, and additives such as vitamins, minerals, and other essential trace ingredients to produce feed pellets. The granules are rich in nutrients and can meet the growing needs of animals at different growth stages. By combining the moisture, heat, and pressure of the feed ingredients, a degree of gelatinization is created, which allows animals to better utilize the nutrients in these ingredients. 2-12mm cylindrical feed pellets are available according to your needs. At the same time, the animal feed production plant has the characteristics of low energy consumption, high production efficiency, and large profits. It is especially suitable for large feed mills, breeding farms, large farms, etc. Another, we provide free installation, training, factory design, and timely after-sales service.

Storage of The Raw Materials

There are many different raw materials and materials in the feed, so various types of silos must be used. There are three types of silo that can be used in the feed pellet line, such as hopper silo, flat bottom silo, and galvanized silo.

Cleaning of Raw Materials

Impurities in feed raw materials not only affect the quality of feed products but also directly affect the use of feed processing equipment and the personal safety of staff. In severe cases, the entire equipment will be damaged and the smooth progress of feed production will be affected. Therefore, impurities in the feed raw materials should be removed in time.

Crushing of Raw Materials

The technological process of feed crushing is determined according to the required particle size, feed variety, and other conditions. The number of raw material crushing can be divided into primary crushing process and circulating crushing process, or secondary crushing process. The combination with the batching process can be divided into the first batching and then crushing process and the first crushing and then batching process.

Batching Process

The rational design of the batching process is to correctly select the specifications and quantities of the batching metering device so that it is fully coordinated with the combination of batching feeding equipment, mixing units, and other equipment.

Mixing Process

The mixing process refers to the technological method and process of weighing the ingredients in the feed formula and then entering the mixer for uniform mixing. The mixing section requires a short mixing cycle, high mixing quality, fast discharge, low residual rate, good airtightness, and no dust spillage.

Pelleting Process

The pelleted feed obtained by compacting and extruding a single raw material or compound mixture by mechanical action is called feed pelleting. The purpose of pelleting is to use the heat, moisture, and pressure in the pelleting process to pelletize the feed that is finely divided, easily dusty, poorly palatable, and difficult to transport.

Cooling Process

During the pelleting process, when the pellet feed comes out of the feed pellet machine, the water content reaches 16%-18%, and the temperature is as high as 75°C-85°C. It will also cause adhesion and mildew during storage. The moisture must be reduced to below 14%, the temperature must be below 8°C higher than the air temperature, and cooling is required.

Crumbling Process

In the production process of the feed pellet mill, in order to save electricity, increase productivity and improve quality, the material is often made into a certain size of pellets and then crushed into qualified products according to the size of the feed pellets.

Screening Process

After the pellet feed is processed by the crushing process, some unqualified materials such as powder will be produced. Therefore, the crushed pellet feed needs to be sieved into a product with neat particles and uniform size.

Packaging Process

After weighing, put the finished product into the packing scale and pack it. During this process, the package should be calibrated until the package weight standard is met.
