Customers have been concerned about how to improve the production efficiency of animal pellet mills. To achieve better results, it is necessary to identify the root cause and make appropriate adjustments. One way to improve the production efficiency of feed pellets is to optimize the use of animal pellet mill machines. By doing so, there is potential for significant yield improvements.

There are various elements that can affect the productivity of a machine. These factors might influence the machine's output in different ways, causing fluctuations in its performance. Therefore, it is crucial to understand these elements and manage them adequately to ensure that the machine functions efficiently. Some of the most common factors that can affect the output of the machine include environmental conditions, technological issues, operational procedures, maintenance practices, and human errors. By addressing these factors through proper procedures and protocols, we can minimize their impact on the machine's productivity and ensure consistent performance.

● Ring modulus factors

The improper selection of compression ratio for the ring die is a significant issue that needs to be addressed. It is crucial to pay attention to this matter as it directly affects the performance and efficiency of the machinery. Therefore, it is imperative to carefully choose the appropriate compression ratio for optimal results. Failing to do so can lead to subpar performance and potential complications in the production process.

The blockage in the die hole is eliminated by forcefully pushing it out of the ring die, starting from the outer side and moving towards the inside. This process effectively removes any impurities present.

One of the issues causing low output is the low opening rate of the ring die. It is essential to address this problem in order to increase productivity.

● Roller factors

It's essential to replace the pressure roller shell promptly if it's worn out.

Using the new ring die together with the old pressure roller is not advisable as it can lead to a decrease in output.

● Quenching and tempering factors

When the blades of the conditioner become worn, it can have a significant impact on the conditioning process. The steam-mixing effect is diminished, leading to poor softening of the material inside the conditioner. This can have a negative impact on the particle output and the powder extraction rate. It's important to address the wear of the blades to ensure the best possible results from the conditioner.

If the tempering temperature is set too low, it can have a negative impact on the efficiency of the animal pellet mill machine. In addition, the tempering effect can be weakened, ultimately affecting the overall output of the system. Therefore, it is essential to maintain the correct tempering temperature for optimal performance and productivity.

● Steam factor

In order to optimize the conditioning process, it is important to address the issue of energy loss during the conveying process of steam in the boiler pipes. When saturated steam enters the pipes at a specific pressure, it gradually loses energy and transforms into unsaturated hot and humid steam, leading to an adverse impact on conditioning. To counter this, it is recommended to discharge the condensed water prior to conditioning and convert it into low-pressure dry heat steam through the utilization of a pressure reducing valve. This conversion not only improves the overall conditioning effect but also ensures that the decompressed steam maintains a pressure of at least 0.2MPa and a temperature of at least 120℃. Such measures guarantee the optimum performance of the conditioning system by addressing the energy loss and maintaining the desired steam parameters.

● Material factors

The granulation rate tends to increase with the size and quality of the material being processed. This means that larger volumes of high quality material usually result in higher granulation rates. It is important to keep this in mind when organizing and processing materials for granulation purposes.

The particle size of the material is crucial for its performance. Fine particles result in a larger specific surface area and fast steam absorption, which are advantageous for moisture regulation and high granulation output. However, it is important to note that excessively fine particles can make them brittle, thereby compromising the quality of the final particles. On the other hand, if the particle size is too large, it can lead to increased wear and tear on the mold and pressing roller, while also boosting energy consumption and reducing overall output. Hence, finding the right balance in particle size is essential for optimizing the process.

When the material used in pellet feed has a high water content, it's important to ensure that the steam added during granulation isn't reduced too much. This is because doing so will affect the granulation temperature, which will then impact the output and quality of the pellet feed. Furthermore, excessive moisture content of the material will cause problems during tempering, leading to material slipping between the inner wall of the ring die and press roller, ultimately blocking the ring die hole. Thus, it's crucial to maintain the right level of moisture content in the material, to avoid any issues with the granulation process.

If you come across any presence of "flower material" in the final feed product, there are certain steps that you need to take to rectify the situation. It is important to ensure that the feed meets all the necessary quality standards and regulations before it is sold or distributed to the market. You may need to inspect the production process and machinery to identify the source of the flower material and take corrective measures to prevent its occurrence in the future. Additionally, you should consider conducting a thorough analysis of the feed ingredients and raw materials to ascertain their quality and purity, as well as incorporating effective quality control measures throughout the production process. Overall, it is essential to address any issues that arise promptly to maintain the safety and quality of the final feed product.

In the process of pelletizing animal feed using a pellet mill machine, there is a common occurrence referred to as "flower feed" where the color of individual pellets varies among different batches. This issue is particularly prevalent in the production of aquafeed. It is primarily characterized by the presence of darker or lighter pellets compared to the normal ones, or inconsistent surface color within a single pellet, which ultimately affects the overall visual appeal and quality of the entire batch of feed. Please note that the generated content is based on the original text information but rearranged in a different manner.

The main reasons for this phenomenon are as follows

★ The ingredients of the feed formula are too complex, there are too many varieties of raw materials, the mixing is uneven, and the moisture content of the powder before the feed pellets is processed is inconsistent.

★ The moisture content of the raw materials used for granulation is inconsistent. Some feed manufacturers have a relatively simple process, directly pouring a certain amount of water into the mixer instead of spraying it evenly with a special nozzle. This makes it difficult to evenly absorb water when the feed is mixed. When this mixed raw material enters the conditioner for conditioning, it is impossible for the conditioner to further distribute the moisture evenly in a short period of time. Under the action of steam, the curing effect of each part of the feed after conditioning is inconsistent, and the color change after granulation is also inconsistent.

★ In the granulation bin, there are regenerated materials of repeated granulation for granulation. Granular granules can be cooled and sieved before becoming finished material. The sieved fine powder or small particles often enter the technological process for re-granulation, usually into a mixer or a silo for granulation. Because this feed is reconditioned and granulated, if it is mixed unevenly with other raw materials or mixed with small particles after conditioning, some feed formulations sometimes produce "flowers".

★ The smoothness of the inner wall of the aperture of the ring die is inconsistent. Due to the inconsistent finish of the die holes, the resistance and extrusion force of the particles during extrusion are different, and the color changes are also inconsistent. In addition, the small hole wall of the ring die has burrs, and the particles will scratch the surface during extrusion, resulting in different surface colors of individual particles.

For the four reasons listed above, the improvement method is very clear, mainly to control the mixing uniformity of each ingredient in the formula and the mixing uniformity of adding water; improve the conditioning performance and reduce the color change; control the recycled material. For formulas that are prone to "flowers", try not to use recycled materials for direct granulation. The recycled material is mixed with the raw material and re-crushed; the ring die with guaranteed quality, control the smoothness of the die hole, and use it after grinding the die hole if necessary.

Our animal pellet mill machine is recommended. The main unit of the equipment is equipped with a dual-axis differential conditioner and a two-layer extended jacket conditioner. The tempering time can be as long as 60-120 seconds, the tempering temperature can reach more than 100 ℃, the tempering is uniform, and the performance is excellent. The multi-point air intake method greatly increases the contact area between the material and the steam, thereby increasing the maturity of the material and improving the effect of tempering; the digital display instrument and temperature sensor can display the tempering temperature, which is convenient for users to control at any time.
