Grain Extruder EGK-30

EGK-30 is a compact yet efficient feed extruder designed for processing plant-based raw materials such as corn, grains, and other feed components. The extrusion process improves the digestibility of raw materials, which positively impacts the efficiency of animal nutrition.

The device is intended for use in small and medium-sized farms as well as feed production points. Its compact design makes the extruder easy to integrate into existing infrastructure without the need for a large working area.

The working section of the feed extruder consists of two chambers— in the loading chamber the raw material is broken up, and in the pressing chamber it undergoes thermal treatment at 120–180°C under high pressure. Then, as it passes through the extruder openings, the material “explodes,” experiencing a hydraulic shock effect due to the sudden pressure drop. As a result, the grain puffs up and increases its volume severalfold. Consequently, animals need less feed in the form of puffed sticks than in regular or pelleted form to feel satiated.

Thanks to the action of high temperature, the feed extruder sanitizes the feed, eliminating pathogenic microflora, fungi, and disease-causing bacteria to which young animals are particularly sensitive.

Moreover, under pressure and high temperature, hard-to-digest starches break down into lighter, simple carbohydrates and sugars. Vitamins and all nutrients are preserved because the exposure to temperature lasts only a fraction of a second. As a result, animals do not expend energy on digestion but direct it toward weight gain and increased milk yield.

Main advantages of the EGK-30 extruder:

• Throughput up to 30 kg/h – ideal for small plants and farms
• Compact steel construction – durability with a small footprint
• 4 kW motor – low energy consumption while maintaining the right level of efficiency
• Precise control of operating parameters – adjustable to the specific raw material
• Easy operation and service – simple maintenance and quick access to working components

Applications

EGK-30 extruders are an excellent solution for small farms and processing points seeking reliable equipment for feed production. It performs excellently as a corn extruder and for other plant materials rich in starch.

This model belongs to the EGK series, distinguished by durability, efficiency, and ease of use. It can be classified as a food extruder, delivering high end-product quality while maintaining a compact form.
