Alpsan - Pellet Mills

ALPSAN Pellet Mills working principle is that mash feed is forced outward through holes in a ring die by the action of two rollers, which is then cut to a predetermined length size. Before mechanical process, steam can be injected into the conditioner at temperature over 90°C. The result of conditioning and pelleting process, starch is gelatinized and also salmonella risk is eliminated in high temperature. This process is good for animal digestion. Furthermore, the increased density of the product makes it easier to store and transport.  Pelleting technology is also used in pelleting wheat bran, bagasse, wood, hay, grass, plastics, papers, manure and chemicals. Die hole sizes usually range from 1,5 mm up to 22 mm. Pellet mill consists of a feeder and one or two conditioners depending on product which will be pelleted. ALPSAN pellet mills’ capacities are from 200 kg/hr. to 30 t/hr.
