Extruders are ideal for the production of different animal feeds, the finished product can have different shapes depending on your requirements.
How does it work?
Once the high quality ingredients for the preparation of the food with the desired nutritional standards have been selected, the grinding phase is passed, which is also crucial and totally depends on the particle size distribution to generate quality granulates premium
When the grinding phase has been completed, the resulting powder is mixed with smaller ingredients (such as minerals, vitamins, etc.) and then passed to the cooking stage by extrusion and molding. The extrusion cooking of the Meelko extruder machines allow a perfect mixture and apply parameters of cut control, temperature and time of permanence until reaching the highest physical and nutritional standards. Through the direct injection of steam by means of a ventilation device and an efficient cooling barrel, the configuration of the screws, the shearing and the temperature conditions are perfectly controlled, which results in pellets with optimized functional and nutritional properties, such as: apparent density, calibration, degree of cooking, better relationship between proteins and lipids, etc.
Finally, the pellets can be coated with oil and cooled, in order to complete the process.
All Meelko extruders have an electronic board with speed variator for the pellet cutting motor, to precisely regulate the desired length of the pellets with high precision.
The most important thing is the safety of the operator and the equipment, that's why the general control panel contains all the engineering in electromechanics designed so that no problems occur in the use and a better product experience. It has thermal control of motor save, emergency stop, triangle star start, visual temperature control, voltage control, amperage control.
