The Complete Livestock Feed Production Line

The complete set of equipment for the livestock feed production line includes washing machines, crushers, mixers, pelletizers, coolers, packaging machines, etc. The following GEMCO Machinery will briefly introduce the equipment and production process of the complete livestock feed pellet production line.

Livestock Feed Processing Equipment and Production Technology

As market competition in the livestock feed industry continues to increase, feed quality has become the basis for the development and management of feed business and an important guarantee for maintaining market competitiveness. Among them,livestock feed manufacturing technology is the process of processing feed ingredients into finished feed according to the designed technology and equipment. At the same time of controlling feed raw materials and feed formula, the process design and equipment selection in livestock feed pelleting line are also the key links to ensure the quality of feed pellets.（Read more:Improve Feed Quality by Adjusting the Production Process of Chicken Feed Pellet Machine>>）

livestock feed production process

• Feeding: raw materials are loaded through the feeding ports where connected with the bucket elevator.

• Cleaning: the material, before processing, must be carried out a preliminary cleaning, the initial cleaning, so as to ensure the purity of the material and to protect the subsequent feed machinery equipment from damage.

• Crushing: after the completion of the cleaning of the material can be into the crusher to crush.

• Mixing: the crushed materials are lifted to a high bin, and then the materials from different bins are put into the mixer for mixing.

• Pelletizing: the materials after mixing need to be lifted again and sent to the feed granulator for granulation. The granulation process is the core step of the granulator, so it is necessary to monitor and timely deal with any abnormal conditions.

• Cooling: the particle temperature from the granulator is high, the need for countercurrent cooler to cool, until the particle temperature reaches room temperature, can enter the next process.

• Crushing: crusher is directly installed in the lower part of the cooler, the main role is to break the larger grain feed into small grain feed, of course, if the pellets do not need to be broken, produced pellets can be directly from the crusher flow.

• Screening: after the crushing of finished particles through the feed conveyor equipment, again reached the height of the rotary grading screen, the particle size of unqualified screening out, secondary processing

• Packaging: the last step in the pellet feed processing process is packaging. Qualified products after screening are packaged, which can be easily stored in the box for transportation.

So how to start with livestock and poultry feed processing technology to ensure the quality of feed pellets? First, start with the receipt of raw materials, research and analyze the modern production and processing technology according to the feed variety and market demand; secondly, select the corresponding poultry food making machine according to the processing technology and production volume. In this way, not only the quality of the finished product can be guaranteed, but the most suitable equipment can be selected under the planned output, thereby reducing the cost.

How to Reduce Cost for Livestock Industry?

All livestock farmers including poultry farmers, dairy farmers, pig farmers, and fish farmers work in highly competitive environments. A farmer can save immensely through a supply chain from a quite lower enterprise. Departments like feed mills in a farm enterprise could accrue large amounts of savings by adjusting settings, operations or processes. Cost in a farm enterprise could be saved by improving staff knowledge on feed mills, avoiding wastage and finding extra ways to have more benefits from the current equipment, hence making them more efficient. One of the best feed processing companies works best to analyze how farmers make animal feeds and give them tips to advance their output quality. The company gives the below tips to farmers to make sure that their mills are sustainable, profitable and productive.

Setup Your Own Feed Production Plant

• Optimize Feed Manufacturing Process

There are usually benefits that come together with improving the production process. This could be in timing wet and dry combination applications or weighing the ingredients. Looking at individual operations within a mill, a farmer can assess the performance and then make an effort to add some efficiency in the operation.it's wise for a farmer to occasionally inspect their production system, how they measure weights of raw materials and how they time wet and dry combination application. farmers often have ways to either save time or cost by improving efficiency in feed mills.

• Pelleting

Pelleting process is hereby an external benefit. Farmers should look at the operation and the current running framework, monitoring the steam structure and governing operations. Each feed formation needs modification settings to have the feed condensing effectively. This operation as well brings about efficiency. (Related Equipment: Gemco Pellet Machine >>)

• Saving on Energy

In the course of the rise in production costs, there is an increment in business monitoring. Carbon footprints call for the urge to save on energy as best as possible.using all raw materials and reducing waste is a crucial part of improving efficiency. Farmers should look at the water content level to make a starting point from where to work. Looking at the moisture within the governed feed, and grounded on the levels of conditioning and condensation, farmers can save much on energy. Reducing waste entails looking at how much product is returned to pre-operational bins and trying to make less of the products returned to be processed again.

• Ensuring Feed Cleanliness

Farmers and the entire livestock industry have to deal with the recent epidemic outbreaks as being secure from such continues to be a focus for manufactures as well as consumers. Many efforts have been applied to counter Avian influenza, Antimicrobial resistance and African fever but have not succeeded. Colony-forming units should be the first thing to be looked at in a mill setting, measuring the final product and repeating the process in 3-7 days. To ensure the feed is free from contaminants, disinfecting should be improved by measures grounded on the above findings. This work can also be done by confirming the products used to advance hygiene in feed mills, especially those specified to reduce the levels of Colony-forming units to make sure that the feed is free from salmonella. 

Produce Animal Feed Pellet from Corn Stalks

In the production of livestock and poultry feed, it is necessary to select appropriate mechanical equipment and excellent technology, measure ingredients in accordance with the requirements of the feed formula, strictly grasp the key elements of each link, follow regulatory management, and pay attention to social and economic benefits to ensure the quality of the finished feed quality.
