Horse Feed Production Process Flow Chart
Technological Procedure:
preparing raw materials → crushing raw materials → mixing raw materials → transporting raw materials → pelleting raw materials → transporting finished pellets → cooling finished pellets → screening finished pellets → packing final feed pellets
Equipment Needed Process:
crusher machine → mixer machine → conveyor machine → pellet machine → conveyor machine → cooler machine → vibrating screen → conveyor machine → automatic packaging machine
What are the Main Ingredients in Horse Feed?
The raw materials for making horse feed pellets include vegetable protein. Plant protein comes from corn, rice, wheat, soybean, peanut flour, etc. Complex carbohydrates, such as alfalfa, grains like corn, soybean, wheat, hay, straw, grass and beet pulp, Simple starches, such as barley, corn, and oats, Fats, including vegetables, corn, and fish oil, Proteins, such as dry whey or flaxseed and canola meal, Minerals and vitamins, including calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium and chloride, Digestive aids, such as yeast cultures and Lactobacillus acidophilus.
How to Make Horse Feed Pellets
Some necessary equipment you need to make horse feed pellets are feed pellet mill, which is the core equipment, feed grinder machine, feed mixer machine, cooler machine and packing machine. below is the general 5 steps of how to make horse feed pellets:
Crushing Process:
The first step in how to make horse feed pellets is to crush the ingredients. This step is to grind the material into fine particles for mixing. This step occurs in a coarse grinder. There is a hammer mill grinder mill machine that is responsible for breaking down the raw material into finer particles. Once all the materials have been grinded into finer particles, you can move them to the next step of making horse feed pellets.
Mixing Process:
The second step of how to make horse feed pellets is to use a horse feed mixer you can mix all kinds of horse feed ingredients thoroughly to ensure that each bite of the finished horse feed pellets is nutritionally balanced. If you do not want to make pellet horse feed, you can use the mixer to mix your own feed after crushing the ingredients to make horse feed mash.
Pelletizing Process:
The feed pellet mill is the main equipment of how to make horse feed pellets. The ring type horse feed production line has greater capacity compared with the flat die feed pellet mill.
Cooling Process:
The fourth step in making horse feed pellets involves the cooling and screening processes. Pellets discharged from the granulator can reach temperatures of up to 88°C and have a moisture content of 17-18%. It’s essential to quickly reduce the pellet temperature to achieve a moisture content of 10-12% or less for proper storage and handling. Consequently, the pellets need to undergo cooling and drying processes. Our pellet coolers use the counter-current cooling principle to cool the pellets sufficiently and uniformly. The temperature of the cooled pellets is not higher than room temperature + 3-5 degrees.
Packing Process:
After cooling, you can bag or store the final pellets according to your needs and requirements. which is the last step of how to make horse feed pellets. our fully automatic packaging machine can handle the packaging process efficiently. The computer weighs the finished feed and then pneumatically unloads it into the bags. The bags, with the weighed feed, move down the conveyor belt, and the machine sews the top of the bag where you can store the dryed feed.
