TONY Design Alfalfa Production Line Specification

Wide Market Demand: In areas with developed animal husbandry, the demand for high-quality feed continues to increase. Alfalfa pellets, as a high-quality feed, are favored by farmers. Both large farms and small farmers need a stable and nutritious feed supply. Alfalfa pellets can meet the needs of breeding of different scales, and its market scope covers a variety of livestock such as cattle, sheep, rabbits and small animal breeding fields such as pet rabbits.

Economic Value Enhancement: By making alfalfa pellets, the added value of alfalfa can be increased. From raw material alfalfa to pellet products, the price tends to increase. This is an effective way for alfalfa growers and feed processing companies to increase economic benefits. Moreover, with the continuous improvement of the quality requirements of the feed market, the market prospects of alfalfa pellets are also relatively broad, which can bring good economic returns to enterprises.

1.Alfalfa Varieties: Different varieties of alfalfa differ in nutrients, fiber content, and palatability. For example, purple alfalfa varieties contain higher protein and vitamins, while yellow alfalfa varieties may have relatively higher fiber content. These differences affect the nutritional quality of alfalfa pellets and animal feeding preferences.

2.Harvest Time: The harvest time of alfalfa is critical to its quality. Alfalfa harvested during the vegetative growth stage has higher protein and vitamin content, while harvested after flowering, the fiber content increases and nutrients such as protein are relatively reduced. If alfalfa is harvested too late for pelleting, the nutritional quality of the pellets will decrease, affecting its value as feed.

3.Impurity Content: The presence of impurities in the raw materials will affect the quality of alfalfa pellets. For example, impurities such as soil, sand, and stone may damage the equipment during the pelleting process and reduce the purity and nutritional content of the pellets. If there are too many weeds, it will also affect the palatability and nutritional ratio of alfalfa.

4.Moisture Content: The moisture content of alfalfa has an important impact on pellet making. The appropriate moisture content helps the pellets to form. If the moisture content is too high, the pellets will be loose, deformed, or even moldy during the pelleting process. Generally speaking, alfalfa with a moisture content between 12% and 18% is more suitable for pelleting. If the moisture content is too low, the alfalfa will become too dry and brittle, making it difficult to form high-quality pellets.

During the processing of alfalfa pellets, the nutrients in alfalfa can be evenly mixed, ensuring that every bite of feed consumed by the animal contains relatively stable nutrients, avoiding the problem of nutritional imbalance caused by the animal's picky eating. For example, the nutrients such as protein, vitamins, and minerals in alfalfa are evenly distributed in the pellets, so that the animal can fully obtain the required nutrients.

Granular alfalfa is easier for animals to digest and absorb. Its physical structure becomes more regular after processing, which is conducive to the chewing of animals and digestion of the gastrointestinal tract, thereby improving the utilization rate of feed and reducing feed waste. For ruminants, granular alfalfa can be better fermented and decomposed in the rumen, providing animals with more energy and nutrition.

1. Strong Demand For Animal Husbandry Development:

Expansion of cattle and sheep farming: With the increasing demand for beef and mutton, the cattle and sheep farming industry continues to develop. Alfalfa pellets, as high-quality feed, are rich in nutrients such as protein, vitamins and minerals, which can meet the nutritional needs of cattle and sheep growth and production. Whether it is fattening beef cattle and sheep, or milk production of dairy cows, alfalfa pellets are an ideal feed choice, and the market demand is stable and growing.

Promoted by the breeding of other herbivorous animals: In addition to cattle and sheep, the breeding of herbivorous animals such as horses and rabbits is also developing. Alfalfa pellets are also suitable for the breeding of these animals, providing a wider demand space for the alfalfa pellet market.

2. Promoted By The Upgrading Of The Feed Industry:

Increasing demand for high-quality feed: The feed industry has an increasing demand for high-quality and high-nutrition feed. Compared with traditional roughage, alfalfa pellets are processed, the nutrients are more balanced, easy to digest and absorb, and can improve the utilization rate of feed, which is in line with the trend of upgrading the feed industry. Therefore, in the feed market, alfalfa pellets are highly competitive and their market share is expected to continue to expand.

Principle Of Biomass Fuel Pellet Production:

Raw Material Pretreatment:

Alfalfa selection and chopping: Select suitable Alfalfa, such as Alfalfa tubes, Alfalfa branches and Alfalfa processing residues, and cut them into smaller pieces for subsequent crushing. In this step, Alfalfa cutters and other equipment can be used to preliminarily process the Alfalfa into pieces of relatively uniform size.

Preliminary crushing: The chopped Alfalfa pieces are further crushed to obtain preliminary crushed pieces. This process usually uses a crusher to crush the Alfalfa pieces into smaller particles, increase the specific surface area of the Alfalfa, and prepare for subsequent drying and granulation steps.

Intermediate Processing Links:

Stacking: Stack the preliminary crushed pieces into piles, control their moisture content at 30-50%, and turn the pile every 5-9 days. The purpose of this is to allow the Alfalfa pieces to undergo natural fermentation and moisture adjustment during the stacking process, so that their internal structure undergoes certain changes and reaches a state suitable for granulation. When the pieces feel soft when pinched by hand, the stacking link ends.

Drying: A special dryer is used to dry the stacked crushed materials. The dryer is usually equipped with multiple spiral drying channels, such as three-way spiral drying channels, and the spiral rotation direction of the central spiral drying channel is opposite to that of the other two channels. The rotation of the drum forces the screened crushed materials to enter the central spiral drying channel from the innermost spiral drying channel, and then enter the outermost spiral drying channel. During the drying process, the moisture in the Alfalfa fragments is evaporated by heat transfer, so that its moisture content is reduced to a suitable range (generally around 10%) for subsequent granulation. At the same time, negative pressure is used to force the dried fragments to be sucked out of the spiral drying channel and discharged from the discharge port. This method can avoid sparks and carbonization and coking of Alfalfa fragments during the drying process, ensuring production safety.

Granulation: The dried Alfalfa fragments are input into the granulator. The granulator compresses the Alfalfa fragments into cylindrical or square particles under high temperature and high pressure by mechanical extrusion. During the pelletizing process, the lignin and other components in the Alfalfa fragments will soften and bond at high temperatures, giving the pellets a certain strength and stability. The Alfalfa biomass fuel pellets produced by the pelletizer are cooled and screened in turn to remove unqualified pellets, and finally qualified Alfalfa biomass fuel pellets are obtained.

After Cooling Process, You Can Choose Packing Machine To Pack Or Put The Pellets Into Large Galvanized Hydraulic Silo For Temporary Storage.
There are three kinds of packing machine you can choose.
Semi-Automatic Packing Machine	Automatic Packing Machine	Ton Packing Machine
Generally speaking, a automatic packaging machine packaging scale refers to a Automatic packaging scale, that is, manual bagging, and after weighing, the material falls into the packaging bag and is folded and sealed or directly sealed or heat-sealed. The characteristics of a Automatic packaging scale are generally that weighing is automatic and bagging is manual, so it is called a Automatic packaging scale.	Different from semi-automatic packaging scales, fully automatic packaging scales are usually also called fully automatic packaging machines or fully automatic packaging scales. All process steps are completed automatically by machines and equipment: automatic sorting of packaging bags, automatic bagging by the Column, automatic weighing of materials, automatic error detection and correction during the process, automatic filling of materials into packaging bags, automatic folding and sealing of packaging bags. The entire process is automatically controlled by PLC and no human intervention is required.	If the output is relatively large, you should choose our ton packing machine, which can carry out packaging operations continuously and stably. The packaging speed of a ton packing machine is much higher than manual packaging, which can greatly shorten the packaging time and improve production efficiency.

In addition to packaging the pellets, you can also choose to store the biomass pellets in Large Galvanized Hydraulic Silo. When there is an order for biomass pellets, they can be transported directly from the pellet silo to a vehicle or container.

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Placing In Large Silos Advantages: 1. Large Storage Capacity: Large silos can store a large amount of biomass pellets, suitable for large-scale production and storage. 2. Convenient Management: Large silos can be centrally managed, which is convenient for fuel use and scheduling. 3. Reduce The Number Of Transportations: Large-scale storage can reduce the number of transportations and reduce logistics costs. Disadvantages: 1. Large Investment: The construction and management of large silos require large fixed equipment and site investments. 2. Complex Management: Scientific and rigorous management and protection are required to ensure the storage and control performance of fuel. 3. High Environmental Requirements: Large silos need to have good ventilation, moisture-proof, waterproof and other conditions.

6.Packing Process:

This process is mainly used to pack pellets to 1 Ton/Bags.

Main Parts:

(1). TONY's new Packing Machine.

(2). Sew Machine, Buyer Can Also Choose Hot Seal Machine For Chosen.

(3). Bags Transportation Conveyors.

(4). Feeding Inlet Silo.

(5). Electrical Cabinets.

High Level Palletizer	Column Palletizer
Comparison of two palletizers Compared with the two types of palletizers, the Column palletizer is more convenient and flexible to install. It can stack finished packaging bags (packaging boxes) of several specifications and varieties at the same time, reaching the finished products from 3 conveyor lines. The high-level palletizer can only stack packaging bags of one specification or one conveyor line. In terms of stacking effect, the high-level palletizer has great advantages, and the stacking shape is neat and beautiful, and the packaging bags are not easy to slide. One weakness of the Column palletizer's manipulator is that if the level and posture of the incoming packaging bags are not very accurate, it is easy to scratch them.

1. During the arduous process of storage and transportation, goods are extremely highly susceptible to being contaminated by dust. This situation truly poses a remarkably significant challenge. Dust has a tendency to firmly adhere to the surface of the goods, which can potentially have a substantial impact on both their quality and appearance. For instance, in the case of delicate electronic components, dust contamination can lead to malfunctions and a diminished aesthetic appeal. 2. However, thankfully, the film wrapping machine comes to the rescue by offering a highly practical and effective solution. By meticulously wrapping film on the surface of the goods, it is capable of effectively blocking dust from reaching the goods. This action ensures that the goods remain impeccably clean. 3. This is of utmost importance as it not only helps maintain the integrity of the goods in a comprehensive manner but also significantly enhances their presentation. A well-presented product is more likely to attract customers and thereby enhances its marketability.
