Cattle Feed Plant

“Servotech” Fully and Semi Automatic Cattle & Poultry Feed Plant is specially engineered to batch, weigh and grind different types of ingredients, mixing them uniformly and then pelletize them, if required. Some of the important machines assembled in the plant are described below:-

Weighing and Batching
There is a sufficient number of storage bins attached according to the capacity of the plant. The bins are suitable for storing different varieties of ingredients. After the bins, there is a weighing system that is PLC controlled for ensuring accurate and continuous preparation of each batch, eliminating any kind of manual interference.

Hammer Mill
The hammer mill in the plant is used for reducing grains, hulls and oil cakes into powder form as to facilitate admixture into the feed. Hammering is done in a confined space that reduces the material into fine particle sizes for an easy passage through the interchangeable sieve that can be changed easily and quickly. The mills are welded structures constructed out of high-grade steel. The upper part of the mill and a dynamically balanced rotor attached with it is properly lined with grooved wearing plates. All the components and parts used in the mill are of made from special grade steels that ensure the long life of the parts.

Mixer
In feed formulation, a wide range of ingredients are used and thus, proper mixing and homogenization are of great importance for the quality end product. In the plant, there is an attached horizontal mixer, designed with multiple spiral elements for uniform mixing of the ingredients. The mixer is simple in construction and reliable in operation.

Molassifier
Molassifer is an indispensable compound fed into modern feed mills. The compound helps in enriching the mealy products with liquid components such as fat, molasses, emulsions, etc without any kind of lumps formation. In the molassifier, swirling, intense beating and pushing action, homogeneously disperse the molasses and other liquids throughout the feed with the passage from the inlet to the outlet. There is no grinding action during the process due to the special design of the rotator.

Pelletiser and Cooler
Agglomeration of the floury materials into firm pieces is generally known as pelletization. Before feeding into the pelleting machine, the feed stock is properly conditioned in the feeder conditioner, provided with the machine. The pellets emerging out of the pelleting machine is quite brittle while hot. On cooling, the pellets become firm and resist breakage, and thus cooling is a must after pelletization. provided a cooler with the machine.

Different ingredients for the process are selected depending upon the specific requirements for particular applications.

Total one ton of charge made by is calculating and weighing different selected items that are then fed into intake hopper.

There are different types of materials that are carried from the intake hopper to the rotary screen in which the oversize materials are reverted back to hopper above hammer mill. The screened small size materials are directly transferred to mixing section as these do not require grinding, while, the broken lumps are grinded in the hammer mill to a fine powder. The ground material is then taken to mixing section hopper for uniform mixing.

The mixing section is equipped with a batch mixer of two ton capacity. In these mixers, only five to ten minutes are taken for complete mixing and further the mixed material is dropped into hopper attached below the mixer.

After mixing, the material is fed into mollasifying section in which, mollases are added. In some cases, where material does not require pelletising, the material is directly taken to storage bin.

In pelletising section, an open or jacket steam is applied for conditioning the material. Depending upon the requirement, the material is broken down into pellets of 8 mm to 12 mm diameter in a pelletiser. The broken pellets are then cooled, stored, bagged and weighed.
