Animal feed needs to meet the requirements of the animal.

07-08-2020 Thanks to the expander, it’s possible to add high amounts of greases and oils in the formula, still obtaining a high quality pellet.

07-07-2020 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.

03-06-2020 The expander is installed right after the existing short-term conditioner and is suitable for any pellet mill brand. Conditioning of the feed takes place before the expander in the short-term conditioner with the addition of saturated steam and eventually liquids (molasses, fats), in order to ensure the success of the desired treatment.

12-05-2020 The expander has been known in the oil milling industry for years and its use, combined with the pellet mill, begins in the 90s as a tool to sanitize the feed. The expander can be integrated in any existing pelleting system without major supplementary space requirement or increasing specific energy consumption.

21-04-2020 The rotary screener consists of a grid of sieving rotating inside a cylindrical chamber. In this machine, the sieved product falls centrally on the screen and is centrifuged to the outside.

31-03-2020 Vibrating sifters are used to remove grit and fine particles from the pellet flow. These are very compact machines, particularly efficient for cleaning pellets or for classifying flours.

05-03-2020 The oscillating sifter is a pellet cleaning device equipped with oscillating motion, which ensures a high efficiency in the removing of dust.

04-02-2020 The sifting process is used to separate the undesirable undersized portions of the product from the correctly sized material

14-11-2019 La Meccanica crumblers, with single or double roller, are used to produce crumbled feed pellet with a specific and controlled particle size and with a minimum of dust and can be adapted to meet specific customer needs.

31-10-2019 The crumbler’s transmission can be gear drive or belt drive. Belt drive is a method of transferring rotary motion between two shafts.

16-10-2019 When crumbling, careful attention must be given to the roll setting at both ends to keep the rolls parallel. The normal procedure is to set the roller gap and then catch the crumbles from each end of the rolls.
