What is the crushing process in a Chicken feed pellet production line?

From a professional perspective, the crushing process in a feed pellet production line utilizes the impact, shearing, or compressive forces generated by crushing equipment to reduce the particle size of initial raw materials such as corn, soybean meal, and straw from 10-50mm to 1-5mm. Its core process consists of three stages: pretreatment, grading and crushing, and screening and impurity removal. The pretreatment stage removes impurities such as stones and metals from the raw materials to prevent equipment damage. The grading and crushing stage employs a stepped processing method of "coarse crushing + fine crushing" based on the hardness of the raw materials and the final particle size requirements. For example, corn is first coarsely crushed to 5-8mm, then finely crushed to 2-3mm. The screening and impurity removal stage uses a vibrating screen to separate large particles that do not meet the standards, returning them to the crushing equipment to ensure uniform output particle size.

 

The core value of the crushing process is reflected in three aspects. First, it improves the uniformity of raw material mixing. Small and uniform raw material particles can fully contact each other in the mixer, avoiding "stratification" caused by differences in particle size. For example, crushing soybean meal to below 2mm can improve the mixing uniformity with trace additives such as vitamins by 40%. Secondly, it improves feed digestibility and absorption. The increased surface area of ​​crushed raw materials facilitates decomposition by digestive enzymes in livestock and poultry. Experimental data shows that crushed corn feed has a 15%-20% higher digestibility compared to uncrushed corn feed. Finally, it ensures stable operation of subsequent equipment. Raw materials meeting particle size requirements reduce wear and tear on mixers, pellet mills, and other equipment, extending equipment lifespan and reducing maintenance costs.

 

The crushing process requirements differ for different livestock and poultry feeds: piglet feed needs to be crushed to below 1mm to ensure palatability; beef cattle feed, due to its high straw content, can have a crushed particle size of 3-5mm, retaining some fiber to promote rumination. Regardless of the feed type, particle size control in the crushing process is a core indicator and must be strictly matched to subsequent production needs.

 

 

 

 

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!
