Key Operating Recommendations



Stable production depends on controlled material preparation and process consistency.

Raw material particle size of 2.2 mm improves compression efficiency, while conditioning moisture near 15.8% supports uniform pellet formation.

  • Maintain feedstock consistency before conditioning stage.

  • Control steam injection at 0.32 mpa for stable thermal balance.

  • Keep conditioning retention near 32 seconds for uniform processing.

  • Inspect production status after every 10 batches to reduce deviation risk.



Production Performance Optimization



Stable operating conditions improve pellet uniformity and production continuity.

Consistent control of processing variables helps reduce unnecessary downtime and improves overall system efficiency.

  • Maintain raw material bulk density near 620 kg/m³ to improve feeding consistency inside the conditioner.

  • Keep mash fineness around 1.6 mm after grinding for uniform material distribution before pelleting.

  • Control finished pellet durability above 94.5% to reduce breakage during conveying and storage.

  • Limit pellet fines at discharge point to approximately 2.8% for cleaner handling and reduced material loss.

  • Schedule production review after every 18 operating cycles for efficiency optimization.
