Key Equipment Breakdown & Functional Advantages

  • Hammer Mill: The first critical step in feed production—this high-speed crushing machine reduces raw materials (such as corn, soybean meal, wheat bran, and mineral additives) into fine powder (1.5-2.5mm particle size). Its key benefits include:

    • Adjustable screen size to match different raw material types and pellet requirements

    • High crushing efficiency (handles 8-10 TPH of raw materials to support the 6-8TPH final output)

    • Low energy consumption and low noise operation (equipped with energy-saving motor)

    • Durable wear-resistant hammer heads for long-term use

  • Mixer: After crushing, the fine powder is transferred to the mixer for uniform blending with vitamins, minerals, and other nutritional additives. Highlights of this component:

    • Double-shaft paddle design ensures 95%+ mixing uniformity, critical for balanced chicken nutrition

    • Stainless steel inner chamber to prevent feed contamination and facilitate easy cleaning

    • Capacity of 10-12 m³, matching the production rhythm of the entire line

    • Timer control for precise mixing duration (5-8 minutes per batch)

  • BPM45 Pellet Mill: The heart of the production line—this heavy-duty pellet mill transforms mixed powder into high-quality chicken feed pellets (3-5mm diameter, customizable). Key features:

    • Gear-driven transmission for stable operation and high torque

    • Die and roller made of alloy steel, resistant to wear and high temperature

    • Adjustable compression ratio to optimize pellet hardness (suitable for broilers, layers, and chicks)

    • Output capacity precisely calibrated to 6-8 TPH, with low pellet breakage rate (<5%)

  • Rotary Screener: Post-pelleting, the rotary screener separates qualified pellets from powder and broken pieces. Advantages include:

    • Multi-layer screen design (2-3 layers) for efficient classification

    • High screening efficiency (98% separation rate) to ensure pellet uniformity

    • Easy screen replacement for different pellet sizes

    • Low maintenance with sealed structure to prevent dust leakage

How Does the 6-8TPH Line Ensure Consistent Pellet Quality & High Yield?

Consistency and efficiency are non-negotiable for poultry feed production—after all, poor-quality pellets can lead to reduced feed intake, lower growth rates, and increased farming costs. This 6-8TPH line incorporates optimized workflow and quality control measures to address these challenges.

Streamlined Production Workflow

  1. Raw Material Reception & Cleaning: Raw materials (grains, oilseeds, by-products) are first cleaned with a vibrating sieve to remove impurities (stones, metal, dust), preventing equipment damage and feed contamination.

  2. Crushing: The cleaned raw materials are fed into the hammer mill for size reduction, ensuring the powder meets the required fineness for pelleting (fine powder improves pellet binding and digestion).

  3. Mixing: The crushed powder is transferred to the mixer, where pre-weighed nutritional additives (vitamins, minerals, amino acids, probiotics) are added. The double-shaft paddle design ensures every particle is evenly coated with additives.

  4. Pelleting: The mixed powder is conveyed to the BPM45 pellet mill, where it is extruded through the die under high temperature and pressure. This process gelatinizes starch in the feed, enhancing palatability and nutrient absorption for chickens.

  5. Cooling & Screening: Freshly produced pellets (temperature ~80-90℃, moisture ~18-20%) are cooled to room temperature (moisture ≤12%) via a counter-flow cooler, then screened with the rotary screener to remove unqualified products.

  6. Packaging: Qualified pellets are automatically packed into 25kg or 50kg bags via a packaging machine, ready for storage or direct use.

Quality Control & Efficiency Enhancements

  • Precision Weighing System: Equipped with electronic scales for raw materials and additives, ensuring accurate formulation compliance (error ≤±0.2%).

  • Temperature & Moisture Monitoring: Sensors in the pellet mill and cooler track key parameters, allowing real-time adjustments to maintain pellet quality.

  • Energy-Saving Design: All equipment uses high-efficiency motors (IE3 standard), reducing power consumption by 10-15% compared to conventional lines.

  • Low Labor Requirement: The line is semi-automated, requiring only 2-3 operators for full operation, reducing labor costs.
