what concerns do you need to prepare and pay attention to making pellets

pellet mill can make the pellets by shaft driving and high-technology, working without water,and belongs to dry-input, dry-output.pellet making machine is widely used in family and small scale farm. The compressed feed pellet is healthier for poultry and livestock, such as chicken, duck, fish, pig, horse, cattle, sheep, etc.Raw materials are such as the corn powder, soybean pulp, grass meal, etc.For making feed pellets for customers, we have to consider the following factors. 

1. The very first you must be clear about your raw material. That include: what kinds of raw material you have? Only one kind or a mixture of several kinds? What is the proportion of your mixed raw materials? Since different materials have distinguished physical and chemical characters, as well as different lignin and fiber contents, and these all affect the cohesiveness of pellets. As a result, different kinds and composition of raw materials will demand different compression ratio of pellet mill die. That’s why we need to know your raw materials for making pelleted pellets,no matter what kind of pellets

2.The moisture content of raw material. If the raw material contains too much water, it also needs a dryer to get rid of extra moisture. According to the experimental statistics, a moisture content of 13%-15% is best for most raw materials in pelleting. Therefore, fresh mateirals that contain about 50-70% moisture must be dried first before pelleting

3.The size of raw material should also be considered. For different raw materials, the processes are different. For instance, if your raw material is sawdust that has a size of less than 5mm, it does not need be processed by an animal feed crusher. For larger materials, a hammer mill or crusher is a must; since the holes of ring die is small, too large materials will block the holes.
