Increasing the Efficiency in Blending of Source Components in the Production of Granulated Compositions

Sufficiently large number of scientists works have been devoted to the study of granulated feed mixtures production process; it is noted that the main technological operations in this process are mixing (blending) of components and pressing the produced mixture in the channels of the matrix. The studies have also established that both the mixing process and the process of production of feed pellets are significantly influenced by the moisture content of the source components. However, the further moistening of the source components leads to increasing of mixing time. Its main function is to achieve the necessary value of consistency and homogeneity of the produced feed, which ultimately will significantly increase its digestibility and assimilation, and as a result, will ultimately reduce the cost of the feed unit. Also, the results of experimental studies have been presented.
