The production of animal feed is a cutthroat industry that is concerned with efficiency and quality.Pellets require post-processing after the pelleting stage to control moisture and temperature, ensuring toughness, durability, and nutritional value during storage.Circulation dryers have redefined post-pellet processing, representing an innovative advancement in modern feed production. As a single source of all the feed machinery options, Shanghai Yuanyuda International Trade Co., Ltd. recognizes the value of post-pellet processing.Below are the top five benefits of using a circulation dryer in your feed pellet processing line.
Superior and Uniform Product Quality.
Superior product uniformity is the primary advantage of a circulation dryer.Unlike traditional dryers, which often create hot spots or uneven drying, circulation dryers constantly mix and recirculate pellets in a controlled hot air environment. The circulating air ensures all pellets are thoroughly dried, both on the surface and in the inner core. As a result, you get a consistent product with optimal moisture content, bringing multiple benefits: reduced pellet breakage, elimination of mold growth and moisture reabsorption, extended shelf life, and gentle, uniform drying that preserves heat-sensitive vitamins and nutrients.
Strong Adaptability to Different Feed Types
Each feed type has its differences. Aquatic feed (e.g., for shrimp or fish) requires extremely low moisture content and high water stability. while livestock feed pellets are larger and denser.However, contemporary circulation dryers are extremely multipurpose. For production lines ranging from 1.5 tons per hour (specialized aquatic feed) to 200 tons per hour (livestock feed), operators can adjust drying time, humidity levels, and air flow.This enables the efficient formulation and production of diverse feed products.
Reduced Fine Generation and Product Loss
The internal motion of traditional dryers – especially those with kickplates – is highly abrasive.Circulation dryers feature gentle dynamic action, minimizing friction and impact, thus reducing fine generation (small broken particles and dust) to a minimum.Reducing fines offers multiple advantages: increased total yield (more processed raw material becomes salable pellets).Increase the rate of feed conversion: The animals feed on more of the desired pellet and minimize dust wastage. Less dust also creates a cleaner, safer workplace.
Integrated Cooling for a Seamless Process
Many progressive circulation dryers have incorporated the drying and cooling processes. Once the pellets are dried, the same machine can be switched to cooling mode, circulating ambient or cooled air.
This lowers the pellet temperature to a level suitable for packaging and storage.
The synergy is vital to a seamless turnkey operation.No separate cooling equipment is needed, saving significant floor space and simplifying operations.The dried pellets move directly to the integrated cooling process, ensuring they are ready for immediate packaging without additional handling.
