Pellet dies: The life of a Pellet Pass away

2013-11-18
There are numerous variables that can play a part in the effective life of a pellet die. Several of these variables
are clarified listed below:.

- The feed formula (make-up of the raw material).
- The qualities of the raw materials used in the manufacturing of the feed.
- The fat content of the feed formula.
- The particle size of the mash.
- Moisture material of the mash feed before pelleting.
- The thermal conditioning of the mash.
- The automisation of the pellet mill.
- The security preventative measures carried out in the feed mill.
- Others.

Feed solution: Feeds could vary greatly in their structure which could impact the life of the die. For example some
provides are very coarse in material while others are not such as soyameal based feeds. The coarse the feed
ingredients are typically mean that the life of the die will certainly be much shorter. As an example a die
generating rabbit feed (which is extremely fiber rich) would only last roughly one quarter of the time that a similar
die generating livestocks feed would. Similarly a die creating livestocks feed would last less time then a
comparable die creating poultry feed (which is mainly corn + soya based).

Qualities of the raw products: Fibre material is reviewed above, another elements is that any kind of resources
having silica / sand would wear down the pellet die much more rapidly.

Fat material of the feed: Fat in the feed assists to work as a lube. Feed formulae providing 1.5-2 % fat would
certainly run smoother and are much less unpleasant, as a result of this.

Particle size of the mash: Better ground mash since smaller particle size is much less abrasive for the pellet die.

Moisture material and thermal conditioning of the mash: A badly conditioned mash is drier and more difficult to
pellet.

Press control: The operator should regularly examine the state of wear on the deflectors and scrapers and also
the roll modification: to stay clear of unequal wear on the die and consequently inept pelleting. The state of wear
on the conditioner navigates: to make sure reliable pre-conditioning. Vapor catches and filters: to make certain
that no condensate is being passed into the conditioner.

The safety precautions applied in the feed mill: All feed mill need to have grain cleaners and magnetic cylinders
set-up prior to all primary process. If ferrous contaminations were to get in the pellet mill, the pellet dies life would
be reduces dramitically. It is very important that there suffice measures in place to ensure there are no
contaminations and overseas bits contained in the feed mix.



How To Upgrade Technology And Enhance Enterprise Efficiency
2013-01-13
The competition between feed enterprises is always the price and the quality of feed. Why some companies can
win benefit and others not? Why the feed from some companies are popular in the customers and animals?
Under the background of mature feed formula, the reasons for this situation are the processing techniques and
the different processing equipment( feed mill equipment). Facing new market competition whether the enterprise
can seize the opportunity and competitive advantage; promote the feed quality and lower feed conversion ratio;
select improved and life expectancy feed machinery, which relate to occupy a larger market share and the future
development of the enterprise. Many large enterprises have advanced technical innovation to change more
powerful, yield greater, more efficiency equipment(Poultry Feed Mill) to make preparation for the future. Technical
innovation has become a new method for enterprise development.
Then, how to improve the technology, make high quality feed to improve the competition? Here let's look at how
the old feed factory to make technical reform?
The transformation of old feed factory includes : First, equipment expansion (capacity expansion)
transformation; Second,functional improvement ( including products transformation and products quality
improvement); Third, feed factory plant transformation.
First, Equipment Expansion (Capacity Expansion)
Expansion which is the transformation of the original production process can not meet the current needs of the
construction section to improve the ability to increase overall production capacity
Update material conveying equipment to enhance conveying ability
In order to improve the factory capacity, first we should raise the material receiving and clean-up ability through
replacing elevator (scraper) or speed up batching system(ingredients) to reach the requirement of receiving to
make sure the continuous production of the later sections.
Update the crushing equipment, reducing crushing cost
The earlier crushing equipment has the disadvantages of high electricity cost, great noise, high water loss, easy
to wear and etc., which can improve the equipment from enhancing the crushing ability to meet the production
needs. Following are the methods:
Equipment increase:
There are two methods: one is that it may add a crushing line to increase the whole crushing capacity of the
factory if the old production shop crushing room has extra space or the shop can be extended; the other is to
improving the crushing equipment to enhance the ability.
Increase equipment efficiency
You can use efficient Zhengchang E-type Winner grinder or change material handling methods to improve ability
to sift the material crushed flake.
Change the grinder system which can reducing crushing temperature according to detailed smash, such as
change drop-type grinder for Zhengchang E-type Winner grinder.
According to the requirement of piglet and pet feed update the grinder with the function of stone-throw.
Expansion of mixed ability, enhance the mixing uniformity.
There are two ways to expand the mixing capacity: one is to select large mixer and increase the amount of each
batch; the other is to select new-type double-shaft mixer, shorten the mixing time of each batch and improve the
mixing uniformity as so to improve mixing system production capacity and mixing quality.
Update pellet equipment with higher efficiency
Similar to the crushing system, it may enhance the granulation by increasing a pellet mill or to replace higher
power and function.
Updating can improve the liquid enzyme and biological add equipment which can enhance the feed quality.
Zhengchang micro-liquid add system is suitable for feed plant for adding enzymes, oils, vitamins, flavor elements,
pigments and other micro-liquid. It has reached the international advanced level and can lower the cost and
improve feed quality. It has won praise from group companies and hundreds of feed companies.
Update steam pipe system can help add the steam water to the feed
()proportion of the liquid can be larger to improve the feed production capacity
