Pellet Press Settings
To the Better Physical Pellet Quality through the Pellet Press Settings
Published: November 3, 2010
Summary
The primary objective of pelleting is to produce a palatable, high quality product with minimum production expense. Manipulation of the feed pellets during the storage, transporting, and transfer to feeding lots seriously reduces the number of feed pellets that finally reach the feed pans. It seems that the best solution for this problem is to increase the Pellet Durability Index (PDI) of the fee...

This article is meant to help the operational officers as well in order to understand that the small adjustment can create the opportunities and hence the added value of better physical properties of pelleted feed products.

A very good information for feedmillers managers, may be conditioners (starch) and raw materials such as corn make a huge difference on the PDI.

In case you want to know or understand better the physical quality of feed pellets I would suggest you sci. papers written by Thomas Meno (Physical quality of pelleted animal feed http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0377840196009492) as well as Behnke (http://amena.mx/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/13KBehnke.pdf). Overall, pay attention to your cooling / drying!
Regarding binding and binders I would suggest you to:
- Increase the % of Limestone inclusion (e.g. 0,5%)
- Include pre-gelatinized starch in small % and/or some protein gels in the case your product requires high protein content as shrimp feed pellets, etc.. (e.g. Ajinomoto)
- Include some binders as lignosulphonate (1 - 1,5%) Click here
