Generally, the process flow of small and medium-sized livestock and poultry feed plants consists of raw material receiving, crushing, batching, mixing, feed pelletizer, cooling, screening, and finished product packaging sections. The core feed-making production equipment is a crusher, mixer, and feed pellet machine. The selection of this equipment plays a vital role in the feed quality of a feed factory. Next, Henan Herm Co., Ltd. will briefly describe the functions and selection of the core equipment.

1. Crusher
The power allocation of crushers generally accounts for about 1/3 of the total power allocation of feed plants. How to reasonably select advanced crushing equipment, design the best process route, and correctly use crushing equipment is very important for poultry feed equipment.

SFSP series hammer crusher is generally used for livestock and poultry feed. Herm SFSP series crusher has high efficiency, good crushing performance, and good adaptability. It is widely used by customers. It is suitable for the production of all kinds of pigs, chickens, cattle, and sheep.

2. Mixer
In the feed pellet production line, the working condition of the main mixer not only determines the product quality but also plays a decisive role in the productivity of the production line and feed quality. Therefore, it is known as the "heart" of the feed factory. At present, the most widely used in the market is the double-shaft paddle mixer. Herm SHSJ series double shaft high-efficiency mixer has a fast mixing speed, mixing uniformity of more than 95%, and the mixture has no segregation phenomenon. Especially when the particulate materials (trace additives) are in the flow state, the diffusion mixing effect is better.

During the use of the mixer, the sealing strip shall be replaced regularly to prevent material leakage, to ensure the uniformity of all materials in the mixing process; At the same time, clean the mixer regularly to prevent the materials from adhering to the inner wall of the mixer from breeding bacteria and mildew in a humid environment, which will affect the quality of livestock and poultry feed.

3. Feed Pellet Machine
The Feed Pellet Machine is the key equipment for the production of pellet feed, and it is also one of the equipment with the largest power consumption in the feed mill plant. Its energy consumption accounts for more than 40% of the total energy consumption of the feed plant, so it needs to be comprehensively considered in the equipment selection. At present, a ring molding feed pelletizer machine is mainly used in the market, which is characterized by large output, uniform discharge, good material shape, and stable quality.

4. Cooling and Fragmentation Effects
The particle cooling is uniform and moderate. Now the counter flow cooler is widely used, which has high cooling efficiency and good effect; The particle crushing equipment shall be repaired in time after the teeth of the crushing roller are blunt. Otherwise, the extrusion effect of the crushing roller will become stronger, the particle uniformity of the feed will become worse, and the crushing rate will increase. During normal production, the gap between crushing rollers shall be properly adjusted according to the feed variety;

After the granular material is broken, the plane rotary classification screen with a small screen surface inclination shall be used for screening treatment, especially in large feed plants. When the screen surface inclination is too large, the screening of granular material will be insufficient, increasing the pulverization rate of granular material.

After pelleting the mixed powdered feed, the nutrition and edible quality of the feed can be improved to varying degrees. pelleting is not only suitable for livestock and poultry feed but also for aquatic products and special feed. Due to the different varieties and components of feed raw materials and the different scales of finished products, there are also different requirements for the performance and structural parameters of granulating equipment. Henan Herm Co., Ltd. will customize each poultry feed-making machine according to the actual situation of customers to maximize benefits for customers.

The selection of core equipment can get twice the result with half the effort for a feed plant with continuous production, effectively reducing equipment maintenance time and improving feed production efficiency. In addition to the above three core equipment, the feed plant also has some supporting equipment, such as a scraper conveyor, bucket elevator, feeding auger, rotary vibrating screen, distributor, etc. Henan Herm will provide you with a full-line configuration scheme to create a one-stop service system from preliminary design, production, and manufacturing to later construction, maintenance, and so on.
