An optimal grinding requires the right amount of intake of air, which is cleaned in the nozzle filters. This also guarantees an economic use of the hammer mill. The air is necessary to quickly transport the fine product from the area of the hammers through the grinding sieve and, at the same time, to cool the product.  By the ventilator, mounted in front of the filter a vacuum is generated and the air is sucked into the air inlet funnel of the hammer mill infeed device,...

Mixing may be either a batch or a continuous process. Batch process means discontinuous, the simplified production sequence as follows: venting spigot must always be open to vent air in a filter, preferably slightly under pressure; filling through the product inlet, with the unloading door closed: mixing, with unloading door closed, product inlet closed or open only if connected with a closed feeding hopper; emptying of the mixed product through the unloading door. Batch mixing can be done...

There are two key reasons for high-energy consumption, low throughput and a rise in temperature of ground materials coming from a hammer mill. They are: 1. Poor hammer milling capacity Large amounts of colliding energy is wasted as heat due to the high rate of eccentric collision. This only makes materials spin and bounce around in grinding chamber, and does not lead to further size reduction. 2. Poor screening capacity ...

Particle Size Optimum particle size for best pelleting results has been a matter of controversy for almost as long as feeds have been pelleted. Young (1960) found no significant differences in pellet durability when he experimented with feed rations containing 40, 60, and 70 percent ground corn or grain sorghum when the grain portions were ground coarse, medium, and fine. Martin (1984) compared pelleting efficiencies and durabilities using a hammermill and a roller mill to...

Introduction Nursery pigs often experience a lag in growth performance when transitioning from sows’ milk to dry feed during weaning. The lag is caused by several factors, including the dietary and environmental stresses associated with weaning. This post-weaning challenge can be associated with suppressed performance, diarrhea, and other intestinal health problems. While compensatory gain may occur as pigs become accustomed to solid feed, previous stresses may diminish...

Feed is too expensive to waste, so pellet quality has an economic value. There are a number of excellent methods to objectively measure and record the quality of pellets during the manufacturing process. This is the first step toward correcting destructive conditions and improving quality. Compound feed quality should be assessed by at least four different groups of characteristics: physiological characteristics, hygiene standards, environmental compatibility and technical...

Pelleting has been, and continues to be, a popular processing technique in feed manufacturing. In basic terms, pelleting converts a finely ground blend of ingredients into dense, free flowing agglomerates (pellets). There are many reasons used to justify the process, but it may be appropriate to list just a few: - improved animal performance, - decreased feed wastage, - reduced selective feeding, - improved bulk density, - better material handling...

Introduction The United States swine industry has suffered dramatic losses following the emergence of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) in May 2013. The virus is a highly contagious and deadly coronavirus that was only observed in Asian and European swine herds prior to 2013. Due to the high mortality rates (80±100%) in neonates, significant economic losses have been experienced [1, 2]. Traditionally, transmission of PEDV occurs through the fecal-oral route within a...

Adding the proper amount of liquid raw material into the feed has become a convenient, flexible and effective way, which has been widely used in feed manufacturer. Through adding liquid, it can not only improve the feed’s energy level, but also can ensure the active ingredient in feeds to get fully utilized. Moreover, it can also improve the pellet feeds’ appearance quality and palatability in a large extent. Therefore, animals’ feed intake can...
