VARIABLES AFFECTING COOLING
Pellet cooling system performance is affected by many variables. The first are variables found in the air being used and include:
CONSIDERING STARTING A POULTRY MILL BUSINESS?
A poultry feed mill is consistently advantageous due to the massive need for high-quality poultry feeds. As long as you can distinguish yourself and offer your clients better quality, you can always have agriculturalists ready to try your poultry feed products.
THE IMPORTANCE OF CONDITIONING IN FEED MILLS
Along with grinding, conditioning is one of the most important factors in achieving good physical quality.
Once the ingredients are mixed and transferred to the bin, the feed flows into a feeder which moves the feed at the desired rate into the conditioning chamber. This is where steam and molasses are added, according to the level specified by the feed formula.
WHAT MAKES A FEED MILL MORE EFFICIENT
Proper planning and equipment allow a feed mill to function seamlessly with minimal oversight or supervision. There are numerous ways to enhance feed mill efficiency. Some ways include reducing maintenance costs, improving production speed, reducing error and waste, reducing downtime, improving safety, and more.
BENEFITS FOR EXPANDED FEED
Many scientific studies show that expander technology is an essential addition to a modern pelleting machine, as a useful tool to fulfill a wide range of customer needs in order to provide a different feed for every animal’s life stage.
PROCESS ENGINEERING: HOW DO FEED MILLS WORK?
Feeds must be milled and mixed to ensure it provides the correct nutritional value to the animals consuming them. Milling and mixing feed in the right proportions are vital in farming and usually pass three (3) distinct processes.
THE MAIN ASPECTS OF THE PELLETING PROCESS INFLUENCING THE QUALITY OF FEED
The factors influencing pellet quality are formulation, grinding, conditioning, type of machinery, and cooling. Still, it’s generally agreed that the formulation is the essential element affecting the process.

HOW TO LUBRICATE A PELLET MILL
We heard multiple problems in maintaining a pellet mill. It is essential to discuss this and explore different strategies for good maintenance. How can you avoid problems and prolong the pellet mill machine’s service life?
GRAIN SILOS CONSTRUCTION: THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW
As silos’ applications expand, so is the increasing need to customize them to fit one’s specific, intentional use. Suppose you’re looking to have a silo built. It’s about ensuring your contractor has an adequate track record to back their word because you want your project to be cost-effective and efficient.

PREVENTION AND REDUCTION OF FEED CONTAMINATION
IMPORTANCE OF SALMONELLA IN FEED
It is generally accepted that Salmonella is the major biological hazard for animal feed. Industrially-produced feeds were said to be more at risk from Salmonella contamination than other feed types, and were most likely to become contaminated through their raw materials, especially oilseed meals and animal-derived protein sources. Although usually they are heat-treated to kill Salmonella and other bacteria, re-contamination can occur afterward during cooling and subsequent handling.
