Feed Mill Machinery Glossary A feed mill is a very large investment and new buyers can often be overwhelmed by the different types of machinery needed, the processes and uses of each these machinery/equipment, and the components and parts of these machinery/equipment. Here below is a diagram of the lay out of a feed mill. The output of the feed mill varies form 2t/h to 10t/h. Hold your mouse over one part to see the name of that part, and a click on it lead you to the corresponding section of our feed mills equipment glossary. For similar-sized particles, bulk density of material ground on a roller mill will be about 5 to 15 percent less than material ground by a hammer mill.

Usually the crumbler consists of two corrugated rolls situated below the cooler/drier exit. Oil Coating Machinery Most dry-expanded feed operations apply liquid fat and/or flavors after drying, cooling, and sizing to enhance the acceptability and palatability of their products. Where it is preferred that the drying and cooling modes be accomplished in separate pieces of equipment, these feedstuffs often are coated after drying but Horizontal mixers consist of a series of paddles or metal ribbon blades mounted on a horizontal rotor within a semi-circular trough. The blades move the material from one end of the mixer to the other, tumbling it as it goes. These mixers usually discharge the mixed product from the bottom, using the same mixer blade action. These feed ingredients include coarse cereal grains, corn which require particle size reduction which will improve the performance of the ingredient and increase the nutritive value. There are a many ways to achieve this particle size reduction, here we are looking at using hammer-mills, for information on roller mills, see the related links at For coarse reduction of grain, a roller mill may have a significant advantage (perhaps as high as 85 percent) over a hammermill in terms of throughput/kwh of energy. For cereal grains processed to typical sizes (600 to 900 microns) for the feed industry, the advantage is about 30 to 50 percent.
