Feed producers are all familiar with the disappointment caused by broken pellets and quality variations of pellets regarding moisture conditions. The issues cause wastage of products, dissatisfied customers and profits. These problems become addressed by counterflow coolers which are engineered intelligently to cooperate with the physics of nature. This is the way they preserve your pellet quality.
The Science of Gentle Cooling
Why Traditional Cooling Fails?
Pellets can crack due to sudden drop in temperatures
Irregular air convection -> pellets would remain wet and some pellets would dry out
There develop hot spots that cause degradation of the nutrients
The Counterflow Advantage
Gradual Temperature Transition
Hot pellets encounter a warm air of low temperatures first
Thermal shock is avoided by progressive cooling Progressive cooling
Such as getting in a pool slowly and jumping in
Moisture Control That Makes Sense
Dries away a sufficient quantity of water (2-3%)
has perfect 10-12 percent contents.
Maintains the structure of the pellets
3 Visible Improvements You'll Notice
1. Fewer Broken Pellets in Your Bags
Cracking reduced by 50-70%
More whole pellets reach your customers
Fewer dust in storage bins
2. Consistent Quality Throughout Batches
All the pellets are cooled down at the same rate
No drier surface and wet core anymore
Use of uniform hardness to improve digestion
3. Longer Shelf Life
Good, or appropriate amount of, moisture = no mold growth
constant nutrients remain preserved
The pellets are retained in quality during transportation
How It Works? (Without the Engineering Degree)
Think of your pellets being taken in an elevator down and cool air up:
At top: 80°C pellets meet 30°C air → gentle start
Middle: Equal heat exchange occurs
Bottom: 25degrees C pellets come out warm and moist air goes out alone
This is a natural process which eliminates the two primary causes of pellet damage:
Snappy cooling! cracking!
Over-drying -> brittleness
Maintenance Tips That Take 10 Minutes
Weekly: Screens sweep off (such as wiping down a grill)
Every month: Fan belts check like what is done to cars
Seasonal: Clear air ducts (such as clearing gutters)
Our counterflow coolers are developed at Shanghai Yuanyuda International Trade Co., Ltd. and they go as follows:
Sliding cooling cycles of various formulas
Doors to accessible cleaning Easy- access cleaning doors
Moisture monitors sensors (optional)
