Does The Feed Pellet Machine Need To Crush The Raw Materials?

Some raw materials need to be crushed: For raw materials with poor cutting properties, high density or high hardness, such as silage, grass raw materials, soybeans, corn, etc., crushing treatment is necessary. These raw materials are difficult to cut into small pieces in the pellet machine. Directly entering the pellet machine will increase the power consumption of the machine and cause greater pressure on the internal parts of the machine, which may damage the machine and affect production efficiency.
Some raw materials do not need to be crushed: For raw materials that are already small or have good cutting properties, such as wheat flour, fish meal, hay, straw, etc., there is no need to crush them. These raw materials are easy to form pellets in the pellet machine and will not cause excessive pressure on the machine.

Impact of crushing on feed pellet machine
Crushing can increase the surface area of ​​the raw materials, improve combustion efficiency and mixing performance, thereby improving pelleting efficiency and pellet quality. In addition, the crushed raw materials are easier to compress, the molding effect is better, and the strength and resistance to falling and breaking of the product will also be improved.
Processing methods for different types of raw materials
Raw materials with poor cutting properties, such as silage and grass materials, must be crushed to improve feeding efficiency and granulation effect.
Raw materials with high density or hardness, such as soybeans and corn, can reduce the pressure on the machine after crushing, protect the machine and improve production efficiency.
Raw materials that have been crushed or have good cutting properties, such as wheat flour, fish meal, hay, etc., can be directly granulated without crushing.
