PELLET BINDER
İncal Pelletin is a revolutionary product that harnesses the exceptional properties of natural zeolite to optimize the process of pellet production in the livestock feed industry. Pelleting involves transforming finely divided, dusty, and unpalatable feeds into uniform pellets through heat, pressure, and moisture. By incorporating İncal Pelletin as the pellet binder, feed manufacturers can achieve unparalleled efficiency, improved feed digestibility, minimized waste, and superior pellet durability.
Advancing the Pelleting Process
İncal Pelletin introduces natural zeolite, a powerful desiccant that facilitates the increase of temperature and moisture during the pelleting process. This increase in steam and temperature plays a vital role in gelatinizing the feed, effectively breaking down starches, and enhancing pellet durability. Moreover, zeolite's unique properties enable it to act as an efficient mycotoxin eliminator and weed seed sterilizer, ensuring the final feed product is safe, contaminant-free, and nutritionally superior.
Enhanced Efficiency with
Lower Inclusion Rate
İncal Pelletin stands out for its remarkable efficiency with a significantly lower inclusion rate. A mere 0.5 to 2% of İncal Pelletin by weight is sufficient to achieve the same binding effects as using 3 to 5% of conventional binders like bentonite or lime. By reducing the usage of binders, feed manufacturers can experience cost savings and streamline the pellet production process.
Boosted Production Efficiency +
Mold Prevention
The moisture and oil absorption properties of İncal Pelletin make it a natural flow agent, preventing feedstuff clogging and bridging during pelletization. This ensures a smoother and more efficient production process with fewer disruptions. Furthermore, pellets formulated with İncal Pelletin exhibit remarkable resistance to mold formation, even during prolonged storage. This guarantees the longevity of feed quality and safety, protecting the well-being of the animals consuming the feed.
Prolonged Pellet Mill Die Life
Zeolite's inherent lubricating properties play a critical role in reducing abrasion within the pellet mill dies. This results in an extended die life, effectively reducing maintenance costs and downtime for pellet mill operators. The durability and efficiency of the dies are optimized, leading to consistent and uninterrupted pellet production.
Precision in Pelleting Parameters
Achieving optimal results in the pelleting process depends on precise control of various critical parameters. Selecting a well-designed mixer, such as ribbon blenders or paddle mixers, ensures a homogenous feedstock. An efficient scalper, equipped with screens, magnets, and other devices, effectively removes unwanted materials from the feedstuff. The use of a supply bin, holding three times the daily capacity of the pellet machine, prevents bridging and erratic flow. Controlled injection of steam during the conditioning phase lubricates the feed, reduces energy costs, and enhances gelatinization. With İncal Pelletin's desiccant properties, an increased amount of steam can be included in the process, further optimizing efficiency.
Factors Influencing Pellet Durability
The durability of pellets is influenced by several factors, including protein content, density, fat levels, fiber content, texture, starch concentration, and moisture levels. İncal Pelletin's ability to enhance gelatinization and bind moisture ensures superior pellet durability, particularly in feeds with high starch formulations. This results in consistent, high-quality pellets that provide optimal nutrition to livestock.
Pellet Mill Considerations
Selecting the appropriate pellet mill dies with various hole sizes and lengths significantly affects production rates. Proper adjustment of the rolls and blades is crucial for extending the die life and achieving the desired pellet length. To achieve the necessary reduction in steam conditioning speed, gear drives or pulley reductions are employed, ensuring a smooth and efficient pellet production process.
Efficiency through Pellet Mill Controllers
The manual operation of a pellet mill can be highly complex and requires significant expertise. The use of pellet mill controllers is essential for achieving optimal efficiency, allowing precise control of bound and added moisture and temperature levels. Incorporating İncal Pelletin as the pellet binder simplifies the process, ensuring consistent and superior pellet production results.
