450kg/H Feather Meal Extruder Machine for Making Feather Powder

Why We Need Feather Extruder Machine ?

For the farmer who are running a poultry slaughter house, it's a hard problem how to deal with the large quantity of wastes feather.The most of the chicken feather waste was burned or buried before,which is causing damage to the air and the environment.Poultry feather can be a valuable feed material or pollutant resource. The factor causing this difference is how to make use of it.
With the rapid development of poultry and livestock industry on the world, the demand for protein feed is increasing. As a necessity in the breeding process, feed has high price cost and unstable quality, which has a great impact on the feed conversion rate. It is an urgent problem to develop and produce a new high protein feed with low cost and good quality. Feather extruder machine is the best solution.Zeno brand feather powder making machine adopted advanced design of automatic feeding device and propeller structure, truly low energy and high efficiency. It is particularly suitable for slaughter plants, cashmere factories, feed factory, big farm, etc.
Feather meal extruder machine performs extrusion processing on the feathers. First, the feathers undergo a high temperature and high-pressure process in the cavity of the extruder. At the same time, the feathers interact with the screw and sleeve to generate high shear forces. At this time,the feathers in the machine are molten state. The screw pushes the material axially to the die hole.At the moment of extrusion, due to the sudden decrease of pressure and temperature, the disulfide bonds and hydrogen bonds in feather keratin are broken when they reach a high temperature of 180ºC and a pressure of 1.5 MPa, The protein content of feather meal can be as high as 80%, the amino acid composition is relatively complete; except for its lysine and methionine are lower than fish meal, the other trace elements are all higher than fish meal.

And its content of cystine ranks first among all natural feeds, which makes it a good source of protein feed.
According to the preliminary calculation in scientist, the production profit of the puffed feather powder is about 150USD per ton, so in the full price feed production and the breeding, the cost of every 1 ton of feather powder can reduce about 450USD. So the total economic profit of extruded feather powder production and application is about 600USD per ton.

Technical information of feather puffing machine:

Features of feather powder machine:
1. The frequency conversion speed-adjustable feather conveying system can adjust the feeding speed at will according to the discharging situation. The position of the conveyor feeding port can be used as a pit and hopper.
   Flat, easier to feed.
2. The vertical conical forced feeder can press the feathers sent by the feather conveyor into the puffing cavity evenly and stably, preventing the feathers from being too fluffy and causing unstable feeding.
   Phenomenon.
3. Specially customized reduction gearbox makes the operation more stable and suitable for users to operate for a long time.
4. The wearing parts are made of wear-resistant alloy and hardened to make them more durable.
5. Equipped with an electromagnetic heating system, zoned temperature control, fast heating and fast preheating, and the sleeve can be removed after shutdown, making maintenance more convenient.
6. The movable independent cutting device can be opened and not used during the early stages of machine operation. After the work is stable, the cutting device can be fixed to facilitate timely checking of the working status.
