The food extruder manufacturer tells you: the advantages of Datong twin-screw extruder for processing feed

The food puffing machine manufacturer tells you: Some people say that Jinan twin-screw puffing machines can be used to process feed, and the results are quite good. I wonder if you have heard of it. Next, let me talk about the main advantages of using Jinan twin-screw puffing machines for feed processing, which are as follows:

1. Avoid picky eating

The compound feed formula contains a variety of ingredients, providing comprehensive nutrition, which can prevent animals from picking out their favorite parts from the powder and refusing to consume other components. Since pellet feed maintains uniformity during storage, transportation, and feeding, it can reduce feeding losses by 8% to 10%.

2. High feed conversion rate

During the granulation process of Jinan twin-screw extruder, due to the combined effects of moisture, temperature, and pressure, the feed undergoes some physicochemical reactions, causing starch gelatinization and enhancing enzyme activity, which enables the fed animals to digest the feed more effectively and convert it into weight gain. Feeding poultry and pigs with pellet feed, compared to powdered feed, can improve feed conversion rate (i.e., feed efficiency) by 10%-12%. Feeding fattening pigs with pellet feed results in an average daily weight gain increase of 4% and a reduction in feed-to-meat ratio by 6%; feeding broilers with pellet feed can reduce the feed-to-meat ratio by 3%-10%.

3. Transportation economy

After granulation by Jinan twin-screw extruder, the bulk density of feed generally increases by 40%-100%, which can reduce storage space and save transportation costs.

4. Good fluidity

Easy to manage. Many powdered feeds, especially light, fluffy feeds, as well as feeds with added molasses, high fat, or urea, often stick to storage bins. Due to the good fluidity of pellet feed produced by the Jinan twin-screw extruder, sticking rarely occurs, making pellet feed highly popular for large-scale dairy or poultry farms using automatic feeders.

5. Reduced pollution

Avoid automatic segregation of feed ingredients. During the storage and transportation of powdered feed, segregation easily occurs due to the varying bulk densities of different powders. After granulation by the Jinan twin-screw extruder, segregation of feed ingredients no longer exists, and the pellets are less prone to dust generation. During feeding, pellet feed causes much less pollution to air and moisture compared to powdered feed.

6. Sterilization

Salmonella in animal feed. Salmonella, when ingested by animals, remains in their tissues, and humans consuming animals infected with this bacteria may suffer from Salmonella gastroenteritis. The Jinan twin-screw extruder uses high-temperature steam conditioning followed by granulation to eliminate Salmonella present in animal feed.
