Classification of Fodder Pellet Mill

According to the different principle, the fodder pellet mill is divided into two big types, including flat die fodder pellet mill and ring die fodder pellet mill, the former adopts flat die while the die of latter is just like a ring, each of them has its own unique features.

• Flat die type

This type fodder pellet mill is mainly composed of feeding hopper, main shaft, roller, electric control cabinet, gear box etc. The driving device drives the main shaft through the gear box, then the pelleting device will start to rotate to press the raw materials, when the raw material enters into the pelleting chamber. Because of the rotation difference, the flat die fodder pellet mill is divided into two types, the D-type adopting rotating die and fixed roller and R-type based on rotating roller and fixed die. The flat die fodder pellet mill meets the different requirements of people from different regions and living levels for four kinds of powers equipped including electric motor, diesel engine, gasoline engine and PTO. And it is designed with small size, simple structure and small output production ranging from 60kg/h to 800kg/h, suitable for making fodder pellet at home, on farm, small animal feed factory etc.

• Ring die type

Ring die fodder pellet mill mainly consists of screw feeder, conditioner, face plate, press chamber transmission system, over load protection and electric control system. Adopting double belt driven structure to drive the screw feeder, the feeding can be even and accurate, equipped with full resistant steel feeding hopper and imported frequency changer. Various ring die with different die hole and compression ratio ranging from 1.5 mm to 12 mm are equipped, the clients can choose them according their requirements and actual situation. The ring die fodder pellet mill can produce fodder pellets 400kg-2.5 t per hour, more suitable for making animal feed in medium and large scale pellet production in large scale poultry and livestock farm, breeding factory, feed production factory etc.

Before you start to make feed pellets, you should do some pre-preparation well, because the fodder pellet mill has a strict requirement for the raw material. The moisture content should be around 12%- 15%, and the size can not be larger than the diameter of die hole. If your raw material are not proper, you can choose the related machine for better production, like hammer mill, dryer and mixing machine.
After preparing the raw material well, it’s time to start the feed pellet production. Our fodder pellet mill types have been mentioned above, you can choose the proper one for your application. The fresh finished feed pellet has a high temperature, you should cool them before packing. If you make small scale feed pellet, you can put the pellets in a cooling place for self-cooling; if you make large scale fodder pellets, the cooling machine and packing machine are suggested to you for saving your time and proving the production efficiency.
