What are the common faults in Automated Feed Pellet Equipment?

Clogging is the most common problem in chicken feed production lines, manifesting as raw materials accumulating at the inlet or inside the machine and failing to discharge properly. Core causes include excessively high raw material moisture content (>18%), excessively fast feeding speed, screen mesh size that is too small, or screen clogging. Solutions: Immediately stop the machine, turn off the power, and clean the accumulated raw materials inside the equipment. If the raw materials are severely adhered, rinse with warm water. After cleaning, reduce the moisture content of the raw materials (air drying or baking), slow down the feeding speed (adjusted via the frequency converter system), replace with a screen with a larger mesh size, or clean any residual raw materials from the screen mesh. Preventive measures: Install a moisture sensor at the inlet that automatically alarms when the raw material moisture content exceeds 18%; install a feeding speed controller linked to the equipment load to prevent overloading.

Uneven particle size in the crushed feed pellet production line is the main problem leading to decreased feed quality, manifesting as a mixture of fine powder and large particles (particle size difference >3mm) in the output. Causes include severely worn hammers, uneven toothed roller gaps, damaged screens, or improper installation. Solutions: 1. Inspect the hammers. If the wear exceeds 2mm, replace the hammers immediately (it is recommended to check every 100 hours of use); adjust the toothed roller gap to ensure the parallelism error of the two toothed rollers is ≤0.1mm; replace damaged screens, ensuring a tight seal between the screen and the machine casing during installation to prevent material leakage. In one feed mill, uneven particle size was caused by hammer wear. After replacing the hammers, the particle size variation coefficient decreased from 12% to 4%.

 

2. Excessive vibration and noise (over 85 decibels) are also common problems in Poultry Feed Complete Equipment. Causes include unbalanced hammers or toothed rollers, insufficient or worn bearings, and insecure equipment mounting. Solutions: After stopping the machine, inspect the hammers. If uneven wear is found, rebalance or replace them; add food-grade lubricating oil to the bearings. If the bearings are severely worn (gap >0.2mm), replace them; re-secure the equipment base with expansion bolts to ensure the levelness error is ≤1°. Excessive vibration and noise accelerate the wear of equipment components and shorten their service life, requiring timely handling.

 

Dust pollution not only affects the workshop environment but also endangers the health of operators. Causes include excessively low raw material moisture content (<10%), poor equipment sealing, and lack of dust collection devices. Solutions include increasing raw material moisture content (water spraying), replacing worn seals, installing dust hoods at the equipment inlet and outlet, and connecting bag filters. After installing a dust collection system, a feed mill in Hebei province reduced its workshop dust concentration from 10 mg/m³ to 2 mg/m³, meeting environmental standards.

 

 

 

 

MIKIM's fish feed pellet production lines and supporting machinery offer excellent value for money. Not only are they affordable, eliminating middlemen markups and allowing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and fish farmers to purchase complete sets of equipment at reasonable costs, but they also boast exceptional efficiency. The fully automated process, from raw material crushing and precise ingredient mixing to extrusion pelleting and maturation, is completed in one continuous flow. This results in high starch gelatinization rates and uniform pellet formation, significantly improving production efficiency and feed quality, truly achieving "low cost, high output." Choosing a MIKIM fish feed pellet production line means enjoying comprehensive pre-sales and after-sales service, including 24-hour online customer support, a one-year warranty on the entire machine, professional on-site installation, commissioning, and maintenance, and a stable supply of spare parts. Customers can buy with confidence and use with peace of mind, with both excellent value and service quality!
