Advanced LNKSL Contraflow Cooler and Dryer Helps You Get Higher Quality Feeds

In modern feed production, maintaining the integrity and nutritional quality of pellet feed is crucial to animal health, storage stability, and overall profitability. The LNKSL Contraflow Cooler and Dryer, developed by JIANGSU SOHO HONRY WUXI CO., LTD., is an advanced solution designed to improve pellet quality and reduce product loss during the post-extrusion process. Using a highly efficient counter-flow cooling mechanism, this equipment ensures that your pellet feed maintains optimal structure, moisture level, and shelf life.

The LNKSL series is widely used in the feed industry and is also suitable for cooling and drying expanded feeds, biomass pellets, and other granulated materials. Its vertical structure and octagonal storage tank design allow for uniform cooling with no dead corners, setting a new standard for high-efficiency pellet coolers.

How the Counter-Flow Cooling Mechanism Works

The core advantage of the LNKSL cooler lies in its advanced counter-flow cooling mechanism. Unlike conventional systems, where the airflow and feed pellets move in the same direction, the LNKSL system cools the pellets by blowing cool air from the bottom upwards, opposite to the movement of the hot pellet material.

This process gradually reduces the temperature of the pellets from bottom to top, allowing for a more even and controlled cooling cycle. As a result, the pellets are less likely to develop surface cracks or experience sudden shrinkage, which can weaken the structure and reduce the final product's quality, get more higher quality feeds.

Optimized for Pellet Stability and Shelf Life

One of the key performance targets of the LNKSL Contraflow Cooler and Dryer is to extend pellet shelf life by minimizing moisture content and temperature deviation. The temperature of the discharged pellets is controlled within +3 to +5℃ above ambient temperature, which is ideal for storage and packaging.

In addition, the system achieves a precipitation (moisture reduction) rate of no less than 2%, further helping to prevent mold formation and spoilage during storage. This makes the LNKSL cooler a reliable part of any feed production line that requires long-term stability and quality assurance.

Efficient and Uniform Discharge Mechanism

The LNKSL series Contraflow Cooler and Dryer features a horizontal moving fence discharge system that enables smooth, even discharge of the cooled pellets. This design prevents material blockage and ensures continuous operation, even during high-capacity production.

The discharge rate remains stable regardless of the pellet size or shape, which helps maintain the consistency of the entire production process and reduces the likelihood of feed waste or rework.

Flexible Capacity for Various Feed Lines

The LNKSL Contraflow Cooler and Dryer comes in multiple models to suit different production capacities, ranging from 3 to 20 tons per hour. Whether you operate a small to medium-scale feed plant or a large industrial feed production line, there is a model that matches your volume and technical requirements.

Each unit is equipped with a reliable motor system, featuring power ranges from 0.75 kW to 2.2 kW, ensuring stable performance and energy efficiency across various applications.

Designed for Easy Maintenance and Operation

SOHO HONRY has also prioritized operational convenience in the design of this high-efficiency cooler. The machine comes with an access door and observation window, allowing for real-time monitoring and easy cleaning or maintenance without interrupting production.

Its compact vertical design saves floor space and integrates smoothly into existing feed production lines, making it ideal for upgrades or retrofitting.
