Grain Extruder EGK-30

EGK-30 is a small but efficient feed extruder designed for processing plant raw materials such as corn, cereals, or other feed components. The extrusion process improves the digestibility of raw materials, which has a positive effect on animals’ feeding efficiency.

The device is intended for use on small and medium-sized farms as well as at feed production points. Its compact design means that the extruder can be easily integrated into existing infrastructure without the need for a large working area.

The working part of the feed extruder consists of two chambers – in the loading chamber, the raw material is crushed, and in the pressing chamber, the material is subjected to thermal treatment at a temperature of 120–180°C under high pressure. Next, as the material passes through the extruder’s orifices, it “explodes,” experiencing a hydro-shock effect due to the sudden drop in pressure. As a result, the grain becomes aerated and increases its volume several times over. This means that animals need less feed in the form of aerated sticks than in regular or pelleted form to become satiated.

Thanks to the high temperature, the feed extruder sterilizes the feed, eliminating pathogenic microflora, fungi, and harmful bacteria, to which young animals are especially susceptible.

Moreover, under pressure and high temperature, hard-to-digest starches break down into lighter, simple carbohydrates and sugars. Vitamins and all nutrients are retained because the action of the temperature lasts only a split second. Thanks to this, animals do not waste energy on digesting the feed but direct it towards 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 while maintaining small dimensions
• 4 kW motor – low energy consumption while maintaining high efficiency
• Precise control of operating parameters – possibility to adapt to specific raw materials
• Easy operation and service – simple maintenance and quick access to working parts

Applications

EGK-30 extruders are an excellent solution for small farms and processing points looking for reliable devices for feed production. It works perfectly as a corn extruder as well as for other starchy plant materials.

This model belongs to the EGK series, which is distinguished by durability, efficiency, and simplicity of operation. It can be classified as a food extruder, ensuring high quality of the final product while maintaining a compact form.
