The equipment shown below is designed to produce 1 tonne output per hour from a variety of raw material ingredients for animal feed.
The raw materials hopper of galvanised steel holds 200 litres of ingredients. The sides are angled to prevent bridging of materials.
At the base of the loading auger there is a small hopper to allow injection of a binder at the required concentration.
As the transfer auger moves materials up to the Feedstock control hopper the feedstock and binder mix together.
Feed stock is delivered to a control hopper mounted above the pelleter. “Bin full” and “low level” sensors are strategically mounted within the bin to control the operation of the transfer auger. If for some reason the low level sensor receives no response, an alarm will sound to warn the operative that the pellet mill will need to commence a shut down routine.
Feed stock is received from the control hopper and is fed to the pelleting chamber via an inverter-driven variable speed feed screw. The inverter and speed controller are mounted in the control panel together with an ammeter to monitor full load on the machine. Prior to the pelleting chamber, material passes through a turbulator which allows for the mixing of additives.
The pelleter is fitted with water, vegetable oil and binder dosing systems. Liquids are pressure fed through variable speed peristaltic pumps from tanks mounted on the side of the control panel. Both tanks require manual filling.
Suitably dosed material will pass into the pelleting chamber which is fitted with 2 dimpled roller assemblies and a Die.
The materials are squeezed by force through the die openings by rollers, which produce long tubes of compressed materials. These are cut by a rotating knife to the desired pellet length.
Hot pellets exit the Mill onto a vibratory sieve. Any dust and crumbs that are mixed with the pellets fall through a 4mm screen and are then sucked into a dust extraction unit which allows for re-cycling back into the raw materials bin.
Hot pellets fall onto an inclined pellet conveyor. The belt speed is variable in order ensure that pellets have chance to cool before falling into a suitable container.
The plant is supplied with a pre-wired control panel. The panel is fitted with all starters and overloads for every motor plus inverter drives, speed controller, ammeters, manual override switches and audible warnings/lights.
The plant is warranted for a period of 12 months from the date of commissioning. This warranty covers replacement cost of any part or system shown to be defective but does not cover replacement of consumable items such as Dies and Roller assemblies. Damage caused through incorrect operation of the plant is not covered.
