DESCRIPTION:
Pellet feed is the compaction of powder feed to make it ready for use in different sizes and diameters. The physical benefits of pelleting can be counted as the easy transport, storage, homogeneity of the feed, the reduction of feed losses, the increase in density and the decrease in transportation costs. Quality production of pellet feed is economically important; should not be left to chance. In pellet feed, fragmentation, comminution and dusting are usually created by mechanical action on the pellets during transportation. These forces can be classified as impact compression and shear. These forces cause the pellets to break down, crush and wear the pellet surfaces. Mechanical processes such as packaging and transport require the pellets to be of good quality so that the pellets can be transported to farms without breaking too much and without losing their integrity. The pellet durability index (PDI) is one of the key parameters used to determine the quality of pellets because it indicates the percentage of pellets that remain intact after mechanical force application.
ADVANTAGES:
