Mash Feed Production Line

A mash (unpelleted) feed production line whose capacity depends on the capacity of the grinder and the mixer, used to produce fine, medium, or coarse feed without pelleting. The line covers grinding the raw materials, weighing the ingredients, and mixing them, then moving the feed to the product bin and packing it.

Production Line Specifications

Production Line Components

1. First Screw Conveyor: Moves the raw materials from the receiving point to the raw material bin.
2. Raw Material Bin: Receives the raw materials and feeds the grinder; it is installed above the grinder so that materials move into it.
3. Feeder: Regulates the entry of raw materials into the grinder to ensure steady feeding.
4. Grinder: Grinds the raw materials to the required fineness depending on the type of feed.
5. Screw Conveyor to Batching: Moves the ground material from the bottom of the grinder to the batching bins.
6. 2 Batching Bins: Used to receive the materials and prepare them for the weighing stage according to the feed formula.
7. Batching Scale: Weighs the materials according to the ratios set in the feed formula.
8. Air Gate: Installed between the scale and the mixer when the scale is above the mixer, to help prevent air from flowing back.
9. Mixer: Mixes the materials after they are weighed to obtain a homogeneous mix.
10. Moving the Feed to the Product Bin: A screw conveyor or a bucket elevator moves the feed from the mixer to the product bin, depending on the line design.
11. Packing: The feed is packed from the bottom of the product bin, manually or with an automatic packing machine.

How the Production Line Works

The materials go through the following stages:

1. Moving the materials to the raw material bin.
2. Feeding the grinder and grinding the materials.
3. Moving the ground material to the batching bins.
4. Weighing the materials according to the feed formula.
5. Mixing the ingredients inside the mixer.
6. Moving the mixed feed to the product bin.
7. Packing the feed into bags.

The 2-Batching System

The line relies on two batching bins and one scale to weigh the materials according to the required feed formula before they move to the mixer.

Feed Fineness Levels

The feed can be produced in three levels of fineness:

• Fine: Suits formulas that require a fine grind.
• Medium: A medium grind according to the feed's needs.
• Coarse: Suits formulas that require a coarser grind.

The fineness level is set by changing the screen inside the grinder, according to the grind required.

The Difference Between Mash Feed and Pelleted Feed

The mash line produces feed that is ground and mixed without turning it into pellets, while pelleted feed goes through additional stages that include pelleting and cooling.

Adding a pellet mill and a cooler in the future can be considered depending on the project's needs and the line design.

Line Layout Inside the Plant

The equipment layout is determined according to the plant area and the installation plan, with the way materials and feed are moved between stages chosen using screw conveyors or bucket elevators.
