Production Process Flow
Step 1: Grinding – Hammer Mill
-
Model: Hammer Mill
-
Capacity: 2–45 T/H
-
Power: 37–220 kW
-
Application: Corn, sorghum, wheat, beans, cottonseed meal, canola, etc.
-
Features: High grinding efficiency, uniform particle size, suitable for various grains and oilseed by-products.
Step 2: Mixing – Mixer Machine
-
Model: Mixer
-
Mixing Time: 0–90 seconds (adjustable)
-
Batch Yield: 500–2000 kg/batch
-
Application: Mixing of powder, granular, flake, and block materials in feed, chemical, pharmaceutical, and other industries
-
Features: High mixing uniformity, short cycle time, low residual rate.
Step 3: Pelletizing – Pellet Mill
-
Model: Feed Pellet Mill
-
Capacity: 0.5–30 T/H
-
Pellet Diameter: 2–12 mm (adjustable)
-
Application: Poultry, livestock, ruminants, and aquatic animals
-
Features: Good pellet formation, moderate hardness, high gelatinization degree, improved digestibility.
Step 4: Cooling – Counter-Flow Cooler
-
Function: Cools hot pellets (approx. 70–90°C) from the pellet mill to room temperature for safe storage and feeding
-
Working Principle: Uses counter-flow cooling principle – cold air fully contacts hot pellets for uniform cooling
-
Advantages: Low energy consumption, easy operation, excellent cooling effect, smooth pellet surface.
Step 5: Screening – Grading Screener
-
Function: Screens and grades the cooled pellets
-
Working Principle: Retains finished pellets that meet specifications; screens out unqualified pellets and powder for recycling and re-pelletizing
-
Advantages: Improves finished product pass rate, reduces material waste, ensures product consistency.
Step 6: Packaging – Automatic Packaging Machine
-
Function: Precise weighing and sealing of finished feed bags
-
Configuration: Equipped with high-precision weighing system and automatic sewing machine
-
Features: Accurate weighing, fast packaging speed, good sealing, convenient for transportation and storage.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the capacity range of this production line?
A: The capacity can be customized based on customer requirements, ranging from 1 T/H to 20 T/H. The actual capacity depends on raw material characteristics, final product specifications, and equipment configuration.
Q2: Can the pellet size be adjusted?
A: Yes. Pellet diameter can be adjusted by changing the ring die on the pellet mill, typically ranging from 2–12 mm, customizable for different animal types and growth stages.
Q3: How much installation space is required?
A: The recommended installation area is approximately 800–1,500 m² (depending on configuration), including raw material storage, production area, finished product warehouse, and control room. We can provide custom layout solutions based on your actual factory space.
Q4: What materials are used for the equipment? Can stainless steel be used?
A: Standard configuration uses durable carbon steel. Key parts that contact materials (e.g., mixer inner walls, pellet mill ring dies, cooler screens) can be made of stainless steel (304 or 316L) upon request, to meet hygiene and corrosion resistance requirements.
Q5: Is the line difficult to operate? Is training provided?
A: The line uses an automated control system with a user-friendly interface. We provide free on-site installation guidance and operation training to ensure your staff can master the operation quickly.
Q6: What about after-sales service?
A: We offer:
-
1-year warranty for the complete machine (excluding wear parts)
-
Lifetime technical support
-
Response within 48 hours for service requests
-
Long-term spare parts supply – common parts delivered within 3–5 days domestically
Q7: What is the energy consumption like?
A: The line is optimized for energy efficiency, with unit energy consumption at an advanced industry level. Specific data depends on raw materials, product requirements, and configuration – we provide detailed estimates during the solution design phase.
Q8: Can I purchase only part of the equipment?
A: Yes. We support full-line supply, single machine sales, and upgrade/modification of key equipment. You can choose flexibly based on your current needs.
Q9: What is the delivery lead time?
A: Standard configuration: 30–45 days (from contract signing to shipment). Customized equipment: approximately 50–70 days. Specific timelines are negotiable.
