When producing chicken pellet feed, the correct selection and operation of the required equipment is critical to ensuring feed quality and production efficiency. The following is a detailed introduction to the equipment needed in the chicken pellet feed production line :

1. Crusher

The function of the crusher is to crush raw materials (such as grains, beans, etc.) into appropriate particle sizes to facilitate subsequent processing and formula mixing. Commonly used crusher types include hammer mills and roller mills. The choice of crusher depends on the nature of the raw material and the crushing requirements.

2. Mixer

The mixer is used to mix the crushed raw materials evenly according to the formula, including adding necessary nutrients, additives, etc. Mixers come in many forms, including horizontal screw mixers and twin-shaft paddle mixers. Choosing the right mixer type can ensure the uniformity of the formula and avoid unstable feed quality due to uneven ingredients.

3. Granulator

Pelletizer is the core equipment for chicken pellet feed production. By squeezing the raw material mixture, the pellet machine compresses it into pellet feed. The main types of granulators include ring-die granulators and flat-die granulators. The design and operating parameters of the pellet mill, such as die aperture, compression ratio and rotational speed, will affect the quality and shape of the pellet feed.

4. Cooler

Freshly produced pellet feed is usually hot and needs to be cooled by a cooler to reach the appropriate temperature and hardness. Cooler types include counter-flow coolers and co-flow coolers. The cooling process can increase the stability and hardness of the pellet feed and avoid the generation of debris during storage and transportation.

5. Screening machine

The cooled pellet feed needs to be screened to remove particles that are too large or too small, and only retain pellets of suitable size. Screening machines usually use vibrating screens or trommel screens. Qualified pellet feed will continue the production process, while unqualified pellets can be recycled to the production line for re-pelletization.

6. Packaging machine

The packaging machine is used to package the screened qualified pellet feed into bags or other forms of different specifications for convenient storage and transportation. Commonly used packaging machine types include automatic weighing packaging machines and quantitative packaging machines. Packaging machines can improve production efficiency and ensure packaging accuracy and stability.

7. Conveying equipment

Conveying equipment includes screw conveyors, bucket elevators, etc., used to transport raw materials and finished products between various links in the production line. The design of conveying equipment should ensure a stable, fast and lossless transfer process to maintain the continuity of the production process.

8. Dust removal equipment

Dust and impurities generated during the production process need to be processed through dust removal equipment to keep the production environment clean. Commonly used dust removal equipment includes bag dust collectors and cyclone dust collectors. A good dust removal system can improve the safety and hygiene of the production environment.

9. Storage equipment

Warehousing equipment includes raw material warehouses and finished product warehouses, which are used to store raw materials and finished products to ensure the continuity of the production process. Warehouses should be designed with ventilation, humidity control and sanitary conditions in mind to maintain the quality of raw materials and finished products.
