Core Design: Aligned with Chick Starter Feed Requirements

Chick starter feed demands three key traits: fine particle size (to fit chicks' small beaks and avoid intestinal damage), high starch gelatinization (for easy digestion), and palatable flavor (to encourage feeding).

 

Mixer: Achieving Precise Nutrient Proportioning for Chick Growth
It uniformly mixes core raw materials (corn, soybean meal, fish meal - providing high protein), probiotics (protecting intestinal health), and micro-additives (vitamin A/D3, calcium, lysine - crucial for bone and feather development).
- A twin-shaft paddle mixer is adopted, featuring high mixing uniformity to ensure no nutrient segregation (preventing the occurrence of "weak chicks" caused by uneven nutrient intake).
- The mixing time is adjustable, which can retain the activity of heat-sensitive additives such as vitamins - these components are indispensable for enhancing chicks' immunity.

Conveyor: Gently Conveying Raw Materials to Reduce Waste
Function
It transports the mixed raw materials from the mixer to the extruder through a closed, dust-free system.
Equipped with a food-grade belt conveyor to prevent raw material contamination - this is crucial for chicks with sensitive digestive systems.
Adopts a low-speed design (0.5-1 m/s) to avoid raw material compaction, ensuring stable flow during transportation to the extruder (preventing uneven feed density).

Extruder: Producing Small, Easily Digestible Pellets

It processes mixed raw materials into small puffed pellets through a medium-temperature (70-80℃) and low-pressure process.

Equipped with customized 2.0-2.5mm die holes, the small pellets produced perfectly fit the chicks' tiny beaks, reducing feeding waste by 15% compared to large-pellet feed.

The medium-temperature extrusion process avoids excessive protein denaturation while increasing starch gelatinization to over 60% - for chicks with underdeveloped digestive systems, this significantly reduces digestive burden.

Meanwhile, the mold can be adjusted to produce pellets of different shapes, distinguishing feeds for different breeds of chicks.

Air Conveyor: Rapid and Gentle Pre-cooling to Protect Pellet Integrity

Using clean, filtered air, it conveys extruded pellets from the extruder to the dryer while pre-cooling the pellets from 70-80℃ to 40-45℃.

Airflow speed is controllable (5-8 m/s), preventing pellet breakage (avoiding dust generation and reducing the risk of respiratory diseases in chicks).

The closed airflow design prevents pellets from contacting external contaminants (such as dust and bacteria), meeting the hygiene standards for chick feed.

Dryer: Precise Moisture Control to Prevent Mold

Reduces the moisture content of extruded pellet feed to the safe moisture threshold for chick feed storage.

Ensures uniform drying while avoiding nutrient loss. Equipped with temperature sensors, it prevents over-drying (which makes pellets too hard for chicks to peck) or under-drying (which causes mold - potentially fatal for chicks with weak immunity). Flavoring Machine: Enhancing Palatability to Promote "Initial Feeding"

Adds natural appetite-stimulating flavors (such as molasses and poultry broth extracts) to the surface of dried pellets.

Adopts a spray-type flavoring system to ensure uniform flavor coating (no clumping), effectively enhancing feed palatability and stimulating chicks to "start feeding."

Core Advantages for Chick Breeders & Feed Producers

High Digestibility = Healthier ChicksThe combination of low-temperature extrusion and fine pellet size boosts feed digestibility to 85%+ (vs. 70% for traditional feed). This reduces undigested nutrients in feces, lowering the risk of intestinal diseases (e.g., coccidiosis) and improving chick survival rates by 5-8%.

Automation = Cost SavingsThe fully automated line (mixer → flavoring) requires only 2-3 operators, cutting labor costs by 60% vs. semi-manual production. Hourly output is customizable (0.5-2 tons/hour), fitting small family farms (0.5-1 ton/hour) and large feed factories (1-2 tons/hour).

Hygiene & Safety = ComplianceAll contact parts (mixer, conveyor, extruder) are made of 304 stainless steel, meeting FDA and GB 13078-2017 feed hygiene standards. The closed workflow and moisture control prevent mold and contamination, ensuring feed is safe for chicks' weak immunity.

Flexibility = AdaptabilityEasily adjust pellet size (2.0-2.5mm) and nutrient ratios (e.g., 22% protein for 1-2 week-olds, 20% for 3-6 week-olds) via the PLC control system. The flavoring module also supports custom flavors to match regional chick feeding preferences.
