For farmers and processing plants who want to self-control feed, reduce breeding costs, improve feed quality and realize feed self-production and export, customized chicken feed pellet production line is the core equipment to enhance core profits. This article focuses on the core value of the product, landing process, selection scheme and customer high-frequency questions, the whole process to meet the procurement inquiry needs, to help you quickly match their own site and capacity of the equipment scheme.
1. what is chicken feed pellet production line
The chicken feed pellet production line is a set of integrated and standardized professional feed production equipment system. The core function is to convert the original ecological agricultural feed raw materials into stable physical properties, balanced nutritional ratio, and poultry feed through mechanical processing and high-temperature curing technology. Pellet feed with higher utilization rate. The whole set of equipment abandons the extensive mode of traditional manual mixing and single machine simple granulation, and realizes continuous, standardized and quantifiable mass production with modular equipment combination. It is the core standard equipment of large-scale chicken farms and small and medium-sized feed factories.
The core structure of the whole product is divided into six functional modules, which are also the key cores to ensure the stable operation of the production line and the quality of finished products reaching the standard: raw material processing module, crushing and refining module, precise batching and mixing module, curing and granulation core module, cooling and screening finished product processing module, and automatic packaging and conveying module. Each module works together without frequent manual intervention, effectively solving many problems such as inaccurate ratio of traditional feed production, uneven particles, large dust, high loss, excessive bacteria and so on.
Compared with ordinary stand-alone equipment on the market, the biggest advantage of the integrated production line is that the process is closed-loop controllable. From the feeding of raw materials to the delivery of finished products, all process parameters can be adjusted, recorded and standardized. Whether it is the production of feed for self-use breeding or the sale of commercial feed to the outside, it can continuously output high-quality and high-stability chicken feed products, which are perfectly suitable for the use requirements of whole scenes such as family farms, large-scale breeding bases, small and medium-sized feed processing plants, large-scale industrial feed industrial parks, etc.
2. chicken feed pellet production line standard production process
The mature commercial chicken feed pellet production line has a fixed standardized process, compact process connection, low loss, high pass rate of finished products, but also to ensure the quality of feed, production efficiency and equipment life of the basis. The whole process has no redundant processes, and each step is designed around the four core objectives of “improving quality, reducing loss, increasing efficiency and hygiene”, and is fully adapted to the production standards of poultry feed.
Raw material receiving and purification treatment
All kinds of grain, meal, bran and nutritional premix raw materials enter the field, first into the purification process. The equipment removes large particle impurities such as straw, stone and debris through vibration screening, and absorbs metal sundries such as iron wire and iron filings with magnetic separation device, thus completely avoiding hard impurities from wearing precision equipment at the back end, ensuring the cleanliness of raw materials and avoiding feed pollution from the source. The purified raw materials are stored in different categories to ensure continuous and uninterrupted production of the production line.
fine crushing processing
The purified raw materials are sent to the hammer mill to accurately control the crushing particle size according to the breeding needs. The feed for young chickens adopts ultra-fine grinding standard, and adult broilers and laying hens adopt conventional fineness grinding to ensure uniform and fine raw material particles, which lays the foundation for subsequent mixing, granulation and digestion and absorption of poultry. Smashing process supporting professional dust removal system, no dust leakage, clean production environment, while the recovery of fine raw materials, put an end to waste.
Automated Precise Ingredient Mixing
According to the preset special formula for chicks, broilers and laying hens, the system completes the precise ratio of various raw materials through intelligent weighing equipment, and the error is controllable. The proportioned raw materials are sent to a professional mixer for all-round mixing, so as to realize uniform fusion of main materials, auxiliary materials, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other additives, with extremely high mixing uniformity, completely solve the problems of uneven nutrition of artificial mixing materials and large batch differences, and ensure consistent nutrition of each 1 of feed.
Steam conditioning and high pressure granulation (core process)
The mixed powder enters the steam conditioner and is cured by constant temperature and constant pressure steam to raise the temperature and humidity of the raw materials, fully gelatinize the starch, soften the fiber structure of the raw materials, kill harmful bacteria such as salmonella and mold in the raw materials at the same time, and improve the hygiene grade and palatability of the feed. The raw materials after curing are sent to the granulating host, and through high-pressure extrusion molding, 2-4mm standard poultry feed particles are produced according to the demand, and the particles are compact, well formed and not easy to break.
Cooling and sizing and grading
The newly formed high-temperature and high-humidity particles cannot be stored directly, and need to be sent to a counter-flow cooler for rapid cooling, dehumidification and shaping, so that the hardness of the particles reaches the standard and is not easy to mold and deteriorate. After cooling, the particles are screened by vibrating screening equipment to screen out qualified finished particles, and the crushed materials and fine powders are refluxed for re-granulation to maximize the utilization rate of raw materials. For chicks feed, it can be processed into fine particles by crushing equipment to meet the feeding needs of young chickens.
Automated metering, packaging and warehousing
Qualified finished particles enter the automatic packaging machine through the conveying equipment to complete the integrated operation of accurate weighing, sealing and sewing. It supports 25-50kg standard bags and can also meet the requirements of bulk loading. The packaged finished product is neat and tidy, with strong sealing, which is convenient for long-term storage, transportation and sales, and completes the whole production closed loop.
3. Core competitive advantages of pellet chicken feed versus powdered feed
At present, large-scale breeding and commercial feed production have completely eliminated traditional powdered feed and popularized pellet feed production mode. The core reason is that pellet feed relies on professional production line processing molding, in the breeding efficiency, cost control, poultry health, management efficiency has the advantages of rolling, but also the major farmers, processing plants to invest in pellet production line of the core reason.
Significantly reduce feed waste and save breeding costs
Powdered feed is loose and easy to scatter, with a large amount of dust, and chickens are easy to pick and dump when eating. At the same time, poultry will selectively eat and prefer raw materials, resulting in partial nutrition and a large amount of feed loss. The pellet feed will be all nutritional raw materials high-pressure molding, each particle nutrition ratio is exactly the same, poultry can not be selectively fed, and the particles are tight and not scattered, feeding loss rate is greatly reduced, long-term breeding can save 10%-20% of the feed cost, for large-scale breeding, the cost reduction is extremely considerable.
Curing process to improve digestibility, speed up the breeding out of the column.
The steam conditioning and curing process of the production line breaks the hard molecular structure of the raw materials, and the gelatinized starch is more easily digested and absorbed by the intestines and stomach of the chickens, effectively improving the feed conversion rate. Broilers that eat pellet feed grow faster, have a uniform body, and effectively shorten the slaughter cycle; the laying rate of laying hens is more stable, the probability of broken shell eggs and soft shell eggs is greatly reduced, and the overall breeding quality and economic benefits are significantly improved.
High temperature sterilization is more hygienic and reduces the rate of poultry disease.
Traditional powder feed is only a simple raw material mixture, raw materials with bacteria, mold can not be removed, easily lead to poultry intestinal disease, respiratory disease. The high-temperature steam conditioning process of the pellet production line can effectively kill most of the harmful bacteria in the raw materials, greatly improve the hygiene level of feed, reduce the prevalence of chickens from the source, reduce the input of veterinary drugs, and reduce the risk and loss of breeding.
Dust-free and easy to store, optimize breeding management
The powder feed dust is heavy, which not only pollutes the environment of the breeding shed, but also easily causes respiratory problems of poultry, and is easy to agglomerate, mildew and deterioration after being affected with damp, and the storage period is short. Pellet feed has no dust, low water content, stable texture, convenient handling, feeding and storage, can be stored for a long time without deterioration, greatly simplifies the feed storage management process, and is suitable for large-scale standardized breeding mode.
4. Standard for Adaptation of Chicken Feed Formulation and Pellet Size at Different Growth Stages
The nutritional requirements and feeding capacity of chickens vary greatly at different stages of chicks, fattening broilers and laying hens. The professional chicken feed pellet production line supports one-key switching of formula and free adjustment of pellet specifications. It can customize all-stage special feed, accurately match the breeding needs, and maximize the breeding income.
chick open feed (0-4 weeks old)
Chickens have delicate intestines and stomach, weak immunity, fast growth rate, and high requirements for feed nutrition and fineness. The formula should ensure 18%-24% high crude protein content, with sufficient amino acids, vitamins and calcium and phosphorus elements to help bone development and immunity. The raw material adopts ultra-fine grinding process, the particle size is suitable for 2-3mm crushed grain form, has good palatability, easy to eat and easy to digest, and can effectively improve the survival rate and growth uniformity of chicks.
Fattening feed for broilers (3 weeks old to slaughter)
The core demand of broiler breeding is rapid weight gain, shorten the column cycle, and the formula is dynamically adjusted with the growth stage. The crude protein in the growing period is controlled at 18%-20%, and the fattening period is reduced to 15%-18%, gradually increasing the proportion of high-energy grain raw materials and increasing the energy density of feed. The general particle size is 3-4mm, the particle hardness is moderate, it is suitable for broiler feeding habits, the feed conversion rate is high, and it can quickly realize weight gain and yield increase.
Special feed for laying hens and laying eggs
In the breeding stage, laying hens mainly focus on body development and bone growth, with balanced formula nutrition, moderate proportion of calcium and phosphorus, and crude protein content of 15%-17%, so as to avoid excessive nutrition or deficiency. After entering the laying period, the formula focuses on increasing the calcium content to 3.5-4.5, stabilizing the eggshell quality, maintaining 15%-18% crude protein, and ensuring the continuous laying ability. Suitable for 3-5mm standard particles, wear-resistant and not fragile, suitable for long-term feeding of laying hens, stable egg production rate.
