Grain Extruder EGK-60

EGK-60 is a versatile feed extruder, designed for processing a variety of plant-based raw materials such as corn, grains, and feed mixes. The device enables the production of a homogeneous granulate with improved digestibility and nutritional value, ideal for feeding livestock.

Its compact yet robust construction makes it perfectly suited for use in smaller plants and farms. EGK-60 extruder is a reliable solution wherever economical production and ease of use matter.

The difference between the EGK-50 and EGK-60 extruders is that the latter is equipped with a 7.5 kW motor. This allows for increased load capacity and thus higher productivity.

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 raw material undergoes thermal processing at a temperature of 120–180°C under high pressure. Then, passing through the extruder holes, the raw material “explodes,” experiencing a hydroshock effect as a result of a sudden drop in pressure. As a result, the grain foams and increases its volume several times. Therefore, animals need less feed in the form of aerated sticks than in regular or pellet form to feel satiated.

Thanks to the high-temperature action, the feed extruder disinfects the feed, eliminating pathogenic microflora, fungi, and harmful bacteria to which young animals are particularly sensitive.

Additionally, under the influence of pressure and high temperature, the otherwise hard-to-digest starch decomposes into lighter, simple carbohydrates and sugars. Vitamins and all nutrients are preserved, as the exposure to high temperature lasts only a fraction of a second. As a result, animals do not waste energy on digesting the feed, instead directing it into weight gain and increased milk yield.

Main advantages of the EGK-60 extruder:

• Output up to 60 kg/h – optimized for small and medium-sized plants
• 7.5 kW motor – energy-efficient and efficient
• Steel construction – resistant to intensive use
• Adjustable working parameters – adaptation to different raw materials
• Easy maintenance – quick access to working components

Applications

EGK-60 extruders are an excellent solution for users looking for reliable and easy-to-use feed production devices. This model is perfect as a corn extruder or for other plant-based, starch-rich raw materials.

The device belongs to the EGK series, known for its robust construction and proven performance. EGK-60, thanks to its versatility, can also be used as a food extruder, meeting the needs of the agricultural and processing sectors.
