Animal Feed Pellet Mill:Animal Feed pellet mill and pelletizing equipment (including portable) is used to produce
animal feed pellets from grain and agriculture products. Animal feed pellet mills are widely used in animal feed
pellet and fish food (aquafeed) production feed mill plants.
Functional description of pelletizing equioment
Animal feed pellet mill are used to produce pellets for animal feed, such as fish food (aquafeed) from prepared
feed stock grains(alfalfa, barley, corn, malt, oats, soybean, etc.). Feed pellet mills vary in capacity, different capacity
equipments, different power, drive engine.
The pellets are made by compacting the feedstock through ring die hole. The die holes are round and the pellets
are pushed from the inside out by rollers. The pellets are formed as a continuous “rod” and cut to length by a knife
at the periphery of the die.
Animal Feed Pellet mill have one or more conditioning units mounted above where liquids can be added to improve
pellet quality. Water is sometimes added in the form of steam resulting in uniform and firmer pellets.
From the conditioner, the raw material falls into the feed pellet mill. In the feed pellet mill, rollers and feed ploughs
push the material through the ring die hole.The ring die is either stationary and rollers rotate around the inner
surface of the die. Outer knives cut the pellets to suitable length.
