The pellet mill is the main equipment in the production process of the animal feed factory, and it can also be said to be the heart of the feed factory. The correct use of the pellet mill is crucial to ensuring the quality of feed pellets, improving production efficiency, and ensuring the safety of operators. This article will introduce in detail how to accurately operate the feed mill pellet machine  to facilitate the production of high-quality feed.

 1. Preparation: Make sure everything is ready

Before operating the feed mill pellet machine, sufficient preparations must be made to ensure the smooth progress of the production process and the stable improvement of product quality.

Equipment Inspection: Conduct a comprehensive inspection of the granulator and related equipment to ensure there are no damaged or loose parts in the machine.

Raw material preparation: Prepare the required raw materials and auxiliary materials and ensure that their quality meets the requirements.

Safety equipment: Install relevant safety equipment, including safety shields, emergency stop buttons, etc., to ensure the safety of operators.

 2. Setting parameters: Precisely control the production process

According to the needs of feed production and formula requirements, it is crucial to set appropriate working parameters of the feed mill pellet machine, which directly affects the molding quality and production efficiency of the product.

Working parameter setting: Set feeding speed, extrusion pressure, temperature and other parameters to ensure product quality and output.

Mold selection: Select appropriate molds and extruder accessories based on raw material properties and product specifications.

 3. Start the equipment: safety first

Before starting the granulator, correct procedures must be followed to ensure that the equipment can operate safely.

Operating procedures: Strictly follow the steps in the operating manual or instructions.

Operation training: Operators must receive relevant training and understand the starting and stopping procedures of the equipment, as well as how to deal with emergency situations.

 4. Gradual feeding: precise control of the production process

Gradual feeding is a key step to ensure the quality of feed pellet molding and must be operated with caution.

Gradual feeding: Gradually put the raw materials into the feed port of the granulator to avoid equipment blockage or overload caused by too much raw materials being put in at one time.

Control the feeding amount: Control the feeding speed and amount to ensure that the raw materials can be fully extruded and formed.

 5. Monitoring the production process: quality assurance

During the operation of the granulator, the operating status of the equipment and the quality of the product are continuously monitored to detect and deal with problems in a timely manner.

Parameter monitoring: Observe the pressure, temperature and other parameters of the extruder to ensure normal operation of the equipment.

Equipment maintenance: Regularly inspect and clean equipment to prevent raw material residues or foreign matter from affecting production quality.

 6. Timely adjustment: Adjust according to actual situation

According to the actual situation during the production process, the working parameters of the granulator are adjusted in a timely manner to ensure product quality and output.

Exception handling: When an abnormal situation or equipment failure occurs, production should be stopped immediately and rectified to avoid further damage to the equipment.

Parameter adjustment: Adjust working parameters as needed to ensure product quality and output.

 7. End of production: safe and orderly

When production tasks are completed or shutdown is required, the equipment is gradually stopped according to operating procedures to ensure safe production.

Cleaning work: Clean up the remaining raw materials and perform necessary maintenance on the equipment.

Safety inspection: Check the equipment and surrounding environment to ensure there are no safety hazards and missing items.

Only by strictly following the operating procedures and precautions can we ensure the stable improvement of product quality, improvement of production efficiency and the safety of operators. Therefore, when operating the feed mill pellet machine, you must strictly abide by the relevant operating procedures and standards to ensure the normal operation of the equipment and the safety and stability of the production process.
