Feed Extruders for Grain Processing

A feed extruder processes whole cereal grains and legumes into expanded pellets, sticks, or flakes. The equipment is suitable for farmers, livestock businesses, and feed producers that want to make feed for cattle, goats, pigs, poultry, fish, or pets. Customers who want to buy a feed extruder should consider the raw material, required output, motor power, and available supply voltage.

A grain extruder performs hot thermomechanical processing. Soybeans, maize, wheat, barley, rye, and grain mixtures are ground and then treated briefly at 120–180°C under high pressure. When the material leaves the die, the pressure drops rapidly, causing it to expand and become porous.

Benefits and performance

Extrusion breaks down starch and complex carbohydrates, denatures proteins, deactivates anti-nutritional substances, and reduces unwanted microorganisms. The short processing time helps preserve amino acids and vitamins, while feed digestibility may reach up to 90%.

1. Model capacities range from 30 to 500 kg/h.

2. Operating parameters can be adjusted to suit the raw material.

3. The finished feed does not separate, creates less dust, and is easy to store.

4. Durable steel construction supports long-term operation.

Extruded feed helps businesses use their own grain efficiently and reduce spending on ready-made feed. Product quality depends on moisture, material composition, and correct equipment settings.
