Feed granulators from TECHNOMASZBUD. What problems can they solve?

First, let's define the term "granulator". It is a device that converts bulk raw materials (feed mixtures, straw, grain, vegetable waste) into granules.

The first granulator was produced in the USA in 1911, while the beginning of feed granulation dates back to the Thirties of the last century. It was then that large-scale research began on the technology of producing feed in the form of granules and their use in animal nutrition.

Granulators began to pay attention to farmers and breeders in countries such as England, Denmark, The Netherlands and Germany. With the help of this equipment, they were able to create a pellet of feed, which the animal had to eat in its entirety, not choosing its favorite ingredients, and thus obtaining from it all the necessary nutritional values.

Important advantages of the granulation process are easier storage and transport of feed and the possibility of producing granules not only for animals but also for poultry. After processing, the ingredients do not lose their nutritional value, but on the contrary become better. In detail it looks like this:


LET'S DELVE INTO THE GRANULATION PROCESS: WHAT HAPPENS TO LOOSE FOOD?

At the pressing stage, the bulk material is subjected to high temperatures and strong pressing, as a result of which complex chemicals decompose into more simple ones. For example, starch breaks down into simple sugars, which are better and faster absorbed. In addition to these advantages, it can also be noted that the mixture passes the stage of disinfection, pathogenic microbes that provoke intestinal infection are removed.


After loading into the tray, the mixture is evenly Fed to the working part of the granulator using a feeder, namely a matrix with rollers. Then the pressed mixture leaves through the through channels (holes). The length of the granules is controlled by a special cutting knife installed in the granulator, and the diameter – thanks to different holes in the die. Specialists from Technomaszbud SP. z O.O. select the Matrix according to individual needs, taking into account what the customer wants to produce.


WHY IS IT MORE PROFITABLE TO BUY A GRANULATOR THAN TO BUY GRANULATED FEED?

The answer is basically simple: because of the cost, because of the quality and because of the possibility of optimizing the feed according to your own needs. We can assume that when buying ready-made karma, we greatly overpay. Sometimes the difference even reaches 100%.  In addition, we can not be sure of the composition of the granules, because its manufacturer can use more or less equivalent ingredients to increase profit or reduce the price of the final product in the event of a price fight on the market.


When buying a granulator, we have a guarantee that the animals will finally get those ingredients that have been loaded into the tray. You can also be sure of the quality of the raw materials.

Feeds produced with Technomashbud granulators have additional advantages compared to bulk feeds:


longer shelf life due to the destruction of fungi and pathogens in the thermal process of production

higher moisture resistance

reduced losses in transport and during loading and unloading

possibility of production according to your needs

To produce 1 ton of feed in the form of granules for laying hens, you need 400 kg of wheat, 400 kg of corn, 150 kg of soybean meal and 50 kg of mineral-vitamin supplement. The cost of all ingredients is currently approx. 1300 PLN / ton. Assuming the price of finished feed for laying hens at the level of 2140 PLN / ton (for PASZE-24.PL) we get the benefit of ok. 840 PLN per ton of feed in own production. In the case of a "small" farm of 20 thousand. hens and assuming that the chicken eats an average of 150 g of feed per day, the annual feed requirement is approx. 1100 tonnes. With this amount, the total benefit is approx. 900,000. in the scale of the year. This value allows you to cover the costs of electricity and the operator of the machine in excess. If the prices of raw materials (wheat, corn, soybean meal) are lower, then production will be even more profitable, since the prices of finished granular feed, as a rule, do not fall proportionally.

To produce 1100 tons of feed in the form of granules we dedicate granulator series PRIME, model 300.

The versatility of our granulators is that by changing the matrix with through channels, granules with a diameter of 2 to 8 mm can be produced, which allows you to produce feed for cattle, medium-sized animals, rabbits and poultry. The advantages of granules have also been appreciated in fish farms: the granules do not smear for a long time in water and in a humid environment retain all their nutritional properties.

Technomashbud is a manufacturer of granulators as well as all its components. Spare parts are always available, so our customers do not have to worry about downtime in feed production.

Technomashbud offers the possibility of mounting the granulator on its own: each working unit can be purchased separately. There is also a choice of engines. A 220 V or 380 V motor can be installed on the same granulator, which allows it to be used both at home and in production. It is also a useful option for people who already have a frame and other working elements, and they are missing only the engine.

The equipment for the production of granules of the PRIME series can be safely called "2 in 1" due to the fact that at the output we can receive either granular feed or fuel pellets. It all depends on what raw materials will be loaded into the reservoir: feed mix or biomass. In recent times, pellets made of straw, hay, grain, rapeseed, corn, sunflower husk, grass or cane are popular. In a word, what remains after harvesting in the field can automatically be converted into biofuel, heating the house or outbuildings and outbuildings with it.

Many will also be pleased to know that the equipment is easy to use. Some models have control windows, which allows you to observe the process at every stage. No special training is required to start and operate our granulators: each operator will cope with this task.
