In regards to creating quality animal feedstuffs, the bulky and the configuration of your hammer mill are important. The proper machine gives constant particle size, which has direct effect on content digestibility of the feed, animal growth and feed efficiency. A very basic explanation of the effect of hammer mill size on uniformity of particles and feed quality as follows.
Screen Size Matters
Screen used in the hammer mill works as filter and determines how fine or coarse the final product would be.
Smaller holes (1-3mm) Fine grind, suitableness to poultry and fish food
Holes of bigger size (4-8mm) will lead to the coarser grind, preferable in cattle and in pigs diet.
Selection of an appropriate screen will also give even size of feed to the animals so as to eliminate wastage and enhance digestions.
Hammer Speed and Size
High-speed rotors are faster to break materials into smaller and more consistent particles.
Faster hammers have an effect of making the particles smaller, and this is not suitable to some animals.
Equal mill runs efficiently with less un-even grinding and heating.
Feed Rate Control
Too much material fed to the mill at a time may overburden it resulting in irregular grinding.
Moderate and unvarying feed speed maintains that all the particles are processed in a similar mapping.
This maintains consistency of the final product enhancing the quality of the feeds.
Wear and Tear Effects
Badly worn hammers and screens will not create particles that will be in a consistent size.
The mill is maintained regularly (through change of hammers and screens) so that it operates smoothly.
When the mill is well maintained; this will produce high quality feed as time goes by.
Why Uniformity Matters in Feed
Improved digestion -With equal sized feed, animals get to absorb nutrients better.
Reduced waste All the animals cannot select and discard larger pieces.
Better quality pellets- Proper size particles are better when it comes to creating pellet feed.
Final Thoughts
Dealing with the feed quality, proper screen size, hammer speed, and feeding control are significant aspects, which can make the difference with the right hammer mill arrangement. In either chicken feed, pig feed or beef feed production consistency is what makes animals grow best and makes the production cost-efficient.
