what is the function of conditioner in pellet feed making machine

1. The powdery materials are cured. The ability of most animals to digest starch is very low, but they can digest cooked starch to a greater extent. The conditioner greatly increases the gelatinization degree of the starch under the action of water and heat, and at the same time promotes the heat denaturation of the protein in the material. The denatured protein is easy to be enzymatically hydrolyzed, thereby improving the digestibility and utilization of pellet feed.

2. Sterilize powdered materials. Most of the pathogenic bacteria, such as E. coli and Salmonella, are not heat resistant. Using a conditioner to condition the material at a certain temperature can kill these bacteria and ensure the hygiene level of the feed. This is through the conditioner. Compared with drug disease prevention, the method of sterilizing materials has the advantages of low cost, no pollution, no drug residues and side effects.

3. The conditioning equipment can significantly improve the water resistance of pellet feed. In the conditioning process, through the hydrothermal effect of steam, the viscous components in the material gelatinize starch and denatured protein can fully play the role of the binder, which can be effective Bonding with other surrounding components, under the squeezing action of the compression molding roller, the particles and the particles are more closely combined with each other, so that the pellet feed becomes more dense, the appearance is smooth, and it is not easy to be corroded by water during the feeding process. Increased stability in water.

4. The quenching and tempering equipment can improve the granulation of the material, increase the output, save the energy consumption of granulation, and increase the life of the die and pressure roller of the granulator. Through quenching and tempering, the material can be softened and made more plastic. During the extrusion process with the die hole wall, the inner wall of the die and the surface of the pressure roller, the friction force is reduced, which avoids the transformation of a large amount of mechanical energy into heat energy during the pelletizing process. At the same time, the abrasion of the pressure mold and the pressure roller is slowed down.
