feed extruder Introduction
A feed extruder is a special mechanical equipment that processes raw materials under high temperature and high pressure. It can convert feed raw materials such as corn and soybean meal into loose and porous extruded particles. As the core equipment of modern feed processing, it significantly improves the digestibility and palatability of feed.
The main functions of a feed extruder
Raw material extrusion: starch alpha is modified and protein is denatured through physical modification
Sterilization and detoxification: high temperature kills pathogens such as Salmonella and degrades anti-nutritional factors
Molding processing: production of special feeds such as floating/sinking aquatic feeds and pet snacks
Improve utilization: feed digestibility can be increased by 15%-30% after extrusion

Structural composition of a feed extruder
A typical feed extruder consists of five systems:
Transmission system: motor, reducer, coupling (power 15-315 kW)
Puffing system: screw, puffing chamber, die head (mostly made of alloy steel)
Tempering system: steam adding device, pre-conditioner
Cutting system: rotating blade and variable frequency speed control device
Control system: PLC touch screen + temperature and pressure sensor
Detailed explanation of working principle
Raw material pretreatment: the mixed material is humidified by the conditioner (water content 20%-30%)
Mechanical extrusion: the screw pushes to generate 10-40kg/cm² pressure
Instantaneous puffing: the pressure suddenly increases when the material passes through the die hole Reduce, flash evaporation of moisture
Shaping and cutting: Rotating cutter cuts the puffed strips into 3-20mm particles

Six core advantages of feed extruder
Nutrition improvement: Starch gelatinization degree reaches more than 90%
Safe and reliable: 120-150℃ continuous sterilization for 5-8 seconds
Energy saving and environmental protection: New model power consumption per ton ≤50kW·h
Strong adaptability: Can handle high oil (8%), high fiber (15%) raw materials
Product diversity: Produce particles of different shapes by changing molds
High automation: Domestic equipment has achieved Remote monitoring of the Internet of Things
Application fields
Aquaculture: fish and shrimp extruded feed (floating rate ≥ 95%)
Livestock and poultry breeding: suckling piglet starter feed, chick starter feed
Pet food: dog and cat food, exotic pet snacks
Special breeding: special economic animal feed such as frogs and eels
Experimental animals: SPF-grade sterilized feed for experimental mice
The current mainstream models can handle 0.5-10 tons/hour, with an investment payback period of about 1.5-2 years. It is the preferred equipment for upgrading and transformation of modern feed factories.
