process design for cattle feed mill in Mexico project
Process flow description of this cattle feed mill in Mexico project:
1. Raw material entry and unloading
Raw material reception is divided into main raw material reception and auxiliary raw material reception. Main raw material reception refers to grains, and auxiliary raw material reception refers to other raw materials except grains.
The raw material corn of the cattle feed mill in Mexico project is transported into the factory area by car in bulk and then unloaded into the corn raw material silo for storage. Corn is fed into the cleaning grid by manual feeding, and the bucket elevator transports the material to the cylindrical primary cleaning screen and the iron remover. The large impurities in the material are screened out by the cylindrical primary cleaning screen and the iron remover removes the iron impurities in the material, and then enters the silo for temporary storage.
Other raw and auxiliary materials are transported into the factory area by car in bags or barrels, and are weighed by the truck scale, and then directly transported to the raw material warehouse of the auxiliary workshop in bags or barrels for storage. Therefore, the raw and auxiliary material entry and unloading process only considers the dust of bulk corn unloading.
2. Raw material cleaning and feeding process
During production, the pellets are fed into the pellet feeding hopper by a scraper conveyor, and the bucket elevator transports the materials to the cylindrical primary cleaning screen, where the large impurities in the materials are screened out by the cleaning screen and the iron impurities in the materials are removed by the iron remover, and then enter the crushing bin for standby use.
The materials that do not need to be crushed are fed and lifted by the bucket elevator to the primary cleaning screen to clean out the large impurities in the materials, and the iron impurities in the materials are removed by the iron remover, and then enter the rotary distributor to be distributed to the batching bin for standby use.
The type of raw material feeding is instructed by the central control room and displayed on the LED display screen at the feeding port, and the feeding amount is monitored by the upper level device.
When the upper level device alarms, the feeding is stopped. In each bin, the remaining amount of material in the batching bin will be simulated and displayed on the computer display screen. When there is insufficient material in the bin, the lower level device alarms, and the central control worker issues a feeding instruction to the feeding personnel and tells them what kind of material to put in.
3. Crushing Section
The granular materials entering the crushing bin are fed into the crusher evenly through the impeller feeder. The central control worker monitors the current of the crusher. When the lower material level alarm of the crushing bin sounds, it means that the materials in the bin are about to run out. The central control worker issues instructions to the feeding place.
The type of materials and the amount of materials to be put in are controlled by the central control room. Under the joint action of the fan, pulse bag dust collector and sedimentation chamber, the materials are conveyed to the bucket elevator by the material sealing screw under the action of negative pressure.
The bucket elevator conveys the materials to the rotary distributor and distributes them to the batching bin for use. The elevator and material transportation are all carried out in a closed manner.
4. Batching and mixing section
The materials entering the batching bin are batched by computer control and transported to the batching bucket by the batching auger. In this cattle feed mill in Mexico, the amount of each material is determined according to the size of the formula. After the batching is completed, the pneumatic weighing door opens and the material is placed in the mixer; the small material (core material) is batched manually or by a micro-batch device, and then enters the mixer after the batching is instructed.
The type and weight of the small material to be put in can only be completed after the central control room gives an instruction. After the small material is put in, the mixing time countdown begins. After the mixing time is 60S-90S, the uniformity requirement of the mixture is reached, CV≤5%.
The mixed finished powder enters the buffer hopper after the mixer opens the door, enters the permanent magnetic drum through the scraper conveyor to remove iron impurities, and then enters the granulation section. The material that needs to be granulated enters the granulation bin, and the feeding amount is monitored by the upper level device.
The lower level device alarms and the feeding starts; the upper level device alarms and the feeding stops. The material that does not need to be granulated enters the finished product bin for packaging. If the material needs to be returned to the machine, it will be returned to the batching bin for standby. Bucket elevator and material transportation are all closed.
5. Granulation section
The material entering the granulation bin is fed to the conditioner after the feeding auger is turned on in the central control room. After starting the machine, the material is conditioned in the conditioner and the steam entering the conditioner before entering the cattle feed pellet machine for pelleting. The temperature of the steam is relatively high, and the temperature of the material is increased to a certain extent when it contacts the material.
The material after the temperature is increased is easier to form when it is extruded through the pelleting room mold, and after high-temperature sterilization, the feed pellets have a low bacterial rate, and the animals will not get sick and are easy to digest.
Steam will cool down after contacting the powder, and has a moistening effect on the surface of the material. In the process of making feed pellets with the pellet feed processing machine, the output is increased and the pellets are full and beautiful. The steam required for the granulation process is supplied by the newly built steam boiler.
6. cooling section
Cooling: The material coming out of the cattle feed pellet mill is cooled by a fan to reduce the temperature and humidity. During the pelleting process, high-temperature and high-humidity steam is introduced and the material is squeezed to generate a lot of heat, so that the moisture content of the pellet feed reaches 16%~18% and the temperature is as high as 75℃~85℃ when it just comes out of the cattle feed mill pellet machine.
Under such conditions, the pellet feed is easy to deform and break, and it will also produce adhesion and mildew during storage, so it needs to be cooled. The bucket elevator and material transportation are all closed.
7. Screening section
Screening: After the pellets are cooled, the unqualified materials are re-pelletized after screening by the grading screen, and the qualified pellets are sent to the finished product warehouse for packaging or to the bulk finished product warehouse for loading and delivery by bulk trucks.
8. packaging section
Packaging: The materials entering the finished product warehouse enter the three-way after the gate is opened in the central control room. The materials that need to be screened are screened by the vibrating screen and then sent to the packaging scale for packaging. The materials that do not need to be screened are directly sent to the packaging scale for packaging. The dust removal of the packaging scale is jointly acted by the pulse bag dust collector and the fan.
