Feed Expanders

The feed expander is used for high-temperature conditioning of feed mixtures, conditioning and stabilisation of mixture before pelleting and thermal treatment and crumbling of feed mixtures and individual raw materials.


FEX34 An efficient solution for securing:
  • Lower percentage of fines
  • Better physical pellet quality
  • Increased pellet mill capacity
  • Increased liquid addition
  • Better possibilities of raw material composition with less consideration for binding properties of raw materials results in low cost formulating
  • Improved activation of the natural binding properties of raw materials
  • Reduction/elimination of bacteria
  • Reduction of growth-inhibiting substances
  • Better digestibility of the feed compound


Design:
  • High capacity self-centring expander screw for kneading, compressing and heating of the mixture
  • Variable outlet nozzle, automatically controlled
  • Heating by friction and steam injection
  • Easy/quick access to nozzle and screw
