I. Types of fish feed processing machine and their production efficiency differences
1. Hammer mill
The hammer mill is one of the key equipment on the fish feed processing production line, mainly used for the initial crushing of raw materials. Its working principle is to achieve the purpose of crushing by hitting the material with a high-speed rotating hammer. This type of machine is suitable for processing raw materials such as grains, beans and bone meal of various hardness, with high production efficiency, especially suitable for large-scale production. However, the hammer wears quickly and needs to be replaced regularly, and the processing effect of materials with high viscosity is limited, which may affect the smoothness of the overall production line.
2. Pellet feed machine
The pellet feed machine is the key step of mixing the crushed raw materials evenly and pressing them into shape through a mold. Pellet feed is not only easy to store and transport, but also can improve the digestibility and utilization rate of feed and reduce water pollution. In terms of production efficiency, the pellet feed machine mainly depends on its mold design, compression ratio and power configuration. High-performance pellet feed machines can achieve continuous and stable production, with a high pellet forming rate, which is suitable for the nutritional needs of different fish species. However, it is worth noting that too high a compression ratio may lead to increased energy consumption of the machine, and there are certain requirements for the adaptability of the raw materials.
2. The impact of machine specifications on production efficiency
1. Power
The power of the machine directly affects its processing capacity and efficiency. Generally speaking, the greater the power of the equipment, the faster its crushing, mixing or granulation speed, and the greater the amount of raw materials processed per unit time. However, the increase in power also means increased energy consumption and rising costs. Therefore, when selecting equipment, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the scale of breeding, budget and energy conditions to seek the best balance between power and efficiency.
2. Speed
The speed is one of the key factors that determine the crushing efficiency and the quality of pellet forming. The appropriate speed can ensure that the material is fully and evenly crushed, while avoiding excessive wear and energy waste. For hammer mills, too high a speed may cause rapid wear of the hammer, while too low a speed affects the crushing efficiency. The speed of the pellet feed machine must match the mold design to ensure that the density, hardness and shape of the pellets meet the standards.
3. Other specifications
In addition to power and speed, the machine's feed port size, discharge size adjustment range, and degree of automation are also important factors affecting production efficiency. For example, equipment with a high degree of automation can reduce manual intervention, improve operation continuity and safety, and thus improve overall production efficiency.
