In short, the purchase of livestock feed granulator machines needs to be comprehensively considered according to the actual situation. When choosing equipment, we need to determine the type and specifications of the equipment according to our needs, and take into account factors such as the equipment itself and additional costs.

At the same time, we also need to pay attention to the quality and after-sales service of the equipment to ensure that the purchased equipment can meet our needs and obtain good use results.

1. Livestock feed’s digestibility is increased thanks to grinding, heat, pressure and the steam;
2. Molasses and the oil enhances the feed’s taste;
3. Prevents choosy eating, provides homogenous nutrition intake;
4. Prevents illnesses which spread via the stock feed;
5. Dusting is prevented;
6. Bug infestation is reduced, microorganism growth rate is lower;
7. Losses which are caused by oxidation and sun light at stockpiling is reduced;
8. Takes less space in the storage; efficiency of mechanization of transportation and feeding is increased;
9. Ensures the addition of liquid additives to the livestock feed pellet.

How to judge the quality of pellet feed processed by livestock feed pellet machine? It is mainly manifested in the following aspects:

1. Stability of livestock pellets. It mainly refers to the characteristics of pellets that maintain their original geometric shape during cooling, grading, transportation and storage after forming.
2. Appearance quality of livestock pellets. It mainly refers to whether the surface of the pellets is smooth, whether the color and length of the pellets are consistent, etc.
3. Hardness of livestock pellets. The hardness requirements for pellets are different for feeding different animals. For example, the hardness requirements for pig feed are lower, while the hardness requirements for duck feed and fish feed are higher.
4. Degree of pellet maturation. A high degree of pellet maturation is conducive to animal digestion and absorption, and is often judged by testing the gelatinization degree of starch.
5. Moisture content of livestock pellets. Reasonable moisture content is conducive to improving the palatability of feed and the economic benefits of the enterprise; and lower moisture content is a necessary condition for safe storage of stock feed.

The factors that affect the quality of pellet feed are mainly the compression ratio, aperture, roughness of the hole wall, diameter and depth of the pressure relief hole, and maintenance and use conditions of the ring die.

Different types of feed have different requirements for the compression ratio and die hole diameter of the ring die. To press different types of feed, it is necessary to select the corresponding compression ratio and aperture to obtain feed pellets of the required quality. The maintenance and use conditions of the ring die will also affect the quality of pellet feed.

If the following conditions occur, the quality of livestock pellet feed will be significantly reduced: uneven wear of the working surface of the ring die, too many honeycomb holes, reduced effective thickness, and spots or scratches on the inner surface of the die hole.

The main influencing factor of the ring die feed pellet machine is the speed. The linear speed of the ring die on the livestock feed pellet machine is generally 4m/s~8m/s (the linear speed is measured on the outer diameter).

The livestock pellet machine that can provide two die speeds can achieve the best results when producing a wide range of feed varieties. Generally speaking, the higher the speed of the livestock pellet mill, the worse the quality of the feed pellets.

(1) Causes:

This phenomenon usually occurs when the particles leave the ring die. This is a problem related to use and operation. The reasons are:

• ① When the position of the cutter blade is far away from the surface of the meshing area between the ring die and the pressure roller, or the angle between the cutter plane and the tangent line of the meshing area is unreasonable or the blade is blunt, when the pellets are extruded from the die hole, they are broken or torn by the cutter instead of being cut;
• ② The pressure relief hole is too large. These two situations will cause some pellets to bend and one side to show many cracks.

(2) Improvement measures:

• ① Increase the compression ratio of the ring die, increase the compression force of the ring die and the pressure roller on the material; thereby increase the density, hardness and strength of the livestock pellets;
• ② Improve the crushing fineness;
• ③ If molasses or oil is added, the amount added should be controlled and the uniformity of the distribution of molasses or oil should be improved. To improve the density of the feed and prevent the feed from becoming soft;
• ④ Adjust the distance and angle between the cutter and the surface of the ring die;
• ⑤ Use a thinner cutter (1mm~1.2mm thick manganese steel sheet has better performance) and sharpen it in time after wear during production;
• ⑥ Use a binder when necessary to improve the internal bonding force of the livestock pellet feed;
• ⑦ The difference between the pressure relief hole diameter and the effective hole diameter should be controlled within 0.2mm~0.4mm.

The following factors need to be considered when choosing a suitable livestock feed pellet mill:

1. Raw materials and products:
   First, it is necessary to clarify the type of product to be processed and the characteristics of the raw materials, such as whether the material contains very light materials such as grass and straw. If these materials are contained, it is necessary to choose a forage livestock feed pellet mill; if the raw materials are all grains, a conventional livestock pellet mill can be configured.
2. Production capacity:
   Determine the required livestock feed pellet machine production capacity based on the expected production demand. Consider the pelletizing volume per hour to ensure that the equipment can meet production needs.
3. Pellet size:
   According to the particle size requirements of the required feed pellets, select a livestock feed pellet maker with a suitable ring die. Different livestock feed pellet machines can be configured with multiple different ring die sizes to ensure that the equipment can achieve the required feed pellet product requirements.
4. Power consumption and efficiency:
   Consider the power consumption and energy efficiency of the equipment and select a livestock fodder pellet making machine with high energy efficiency. Highly efficient and energy-saving equipment can reduce production costs and reduce energy consumption.
5. Equipment quality and reliability:
   Select brands and manufacturers with good quality and reliability to ensure the stability and long-term reliable operation of the livestock feed equipment. This can be evaluated by understanding the manufacturer’s reputation, product quality certification, user reviews, etc.
6. Maintenance and after-sales service:
   Consider the maintenance and after-sales service support of the equipment. Select a supplier that provides a complete after-sales service system and timely technical support to ensure that the maintenance and repair of the equipment can be carried out in a timely manner, reducing downtime and production losses.
7. Cost and budget:
   According to budget constraints, comprehensively consider factors such as equipment price, operating cost, maintenance cost, etc., and select a livestock feed pellet machine with a high cost performance. (Find RICHI on youtube)
