Feed Mill Plant Process

Pre – Cleaning

The first step in palletisation is to transport the raw material from the bulk silo or into the dosing vessel. It is important to remove oversized foreign matter and scrap iron. Failure to do so may impair the function of the dosing unit or downstream slides, gravity / auger feeders.

Pre-cleaning machines typically include rotary screens, jute removers, magnetic catchers, and more. For automated systems, it is desirable to design the system for continuous and efficient cleaning at maximum component flow rate

Batching

In modern systems, automatic weighing of various ingredients according to a batch recipe is called dosing.

This stage incorporates the following:

• A silo of the appropriate capacity depending on the total capacity of the system
• A gravity feeder or screw feeder for controlling and discharging the material in the weighing container below.

Two sets of silos are usually installed. One is for the main component and the other is for the minor component.

Both weighing bins are emptied with one joint for further processing and a bin vibrator or shaking device is attached to some or all of the bins

Weighing is an electronic control system based on a PLC or microprocessor. It is executed through a computer.

The computer controls and records all the details of the batch, weights the ingredients over or under from the target value, and reports on each batch, shift, day, week, month.

The desirable properties of the dosing system are:

• To meet the performance of the facility, it is necessary to be able to perform accurate weighing within the specified time.
• It should be very reliable and function automatically, but it should be manually controllable in the event of an automatic failure. To allow material flow if the container is clogged.

Grinding

Grinding is done to reduce the material to the required fineness so that it has the maximum surface area exposed to heat and moisture in order to achieve gelatinization in the conditioner.

Being able to grind with minimal energy consumption not only reduces crushing costs, but also saves the energy required for palletisation.

Mixing

Efficient mixing of trace components throughout the batch is important for producing high quality feed.

The designed features of a good mixing system are:

• Mixing must be done to achieve the minimum coefficient of variation in the minimum amount of time.
• The mixer emptying mechanism should be aimed at minimizing residue in the drum and avoiding leaks at the gate valve to avoid carry-over to the next batch.

Conditioning

Conditioning is done to add heat and moisture to the compound feed to achieve gelatinization and facilitate palletisation of the product.

An ideal conditioning system should do the following:

• It is necessary to raise the temperature and humidity of the product.
• It should have option for both by direct & indirect heating.

Pelleting

After conditioning, a roller is used to feed the product from the nozzle of the pellet press to convert the powdered material into pellets.

The quality and performance of the pellet press depends on many parameters including:

• Grinding Quality
• Conditioning Feed Formulation: (ratio of oil, protein, fiber, etc.)
• Mould Composition

Cooling

The hot pellets coming out of the pellet mill need to be cooled immediately to remove moisture and heat. As a rule, a counter current cooler is used for this.

The desirable characteristics of the efficient cooler are:

• It should be possible to remove unwanted heat and moisture from the pellets and improve shelf life.
• Also, the cooling should be uniform from all sides

Crumbling

Crumbling is the process of crushing pellets after cooling to make them suitable for small chicks.

You can bypass it if you don’t need it and eject the product from the side of the collapsing roller.

A well-designed crumbler requires the following properties:

• You need to make evenly sized crumbs.
• On both ends of the crumb roll you need to release the material.
• An adequate gap adjustment mechanism.

Screening

The products that come out of the crumbs are either pelletized (when the crumbs are finished) or crumbs.

These need to be sifted to get rid of fines and debris.

Single deck shifters are only used to remove fines and double deck shifters are used to remove both fines and above.

Unbroken or debris is returned to the crumbs and the granules are returned to the pelleting line for repulsion.

The screener requires the following features:

• You need to remove the required percentage of fines from the product.
• You need to prevent the screen from getting clogged frequently.
• Changing the sieve of the desired mesh should be quick and easy.

BAGGING

After the screener, the finished product is packed in a bag. For small and medium-sized plants, bagging can be done manually, but for better performance it is advisable to choose an electronic bagging machine.
