How does the horizontal quality preservation device improve the degree of maturation of materials?
Release Time : 2025-06-23
In modern feed processing, improving the maturation degree of feed is a key link to improve its nutritional absorption rate and palatability. As an important equipment for the post-ripening and stabilization of high-protein raw materials such as soybean puffed feed and soybean meal puffed feed, horizontal quality preservation device has shown significant advantages in prolonging the maturation time, improving the uniformity of maturation and improving the quality of feed with its unique structural design and process control capabilities.
1. Optimize the heat conduction path to achieve uniform heating
The horizontal quality preservation device adopts a horizontal cylinder structure with a spiral propeller or guide plate system inside, so that the material moves slowly during operation and is in full contact with the heating medium. This structural design effectively prolongs the residence time of the material in a high-temperature environment, while avoiding the "short circuit" phenomenon common in traditional vertical equipment, that is, some materials are discharged before they are fully heated.
In addition, the device is usually equipped with a multi-stage temperature control system, which can adjust the heating intensity according to the process requirements of different stages to ensure that the material can reach the ideal maturation temperature from the surface to the core. By precisely controlling the heat conduction path and heating time, the device can significantly improve the gelatinization degree and protein denaturation effect of the material, thereby enhancing the release and digestion utilization of nutrients.
2. Extend the maturation time and improve the post-maturing effect
The maturation process is crucial to the quality of puffed feed. It not only affects the gelatinization degree of starch, but also is related to the passivation of anti-nutritional factors and the reorganization of protein structure. The horizontal quality preservation device prolongs the residence time of the material in the constant temperature zone, so that the feed can be deeply maturated under suitable temperature and humidity conditions, and further complete the complete gelatinization of starch and moderate denaturation of protein.
Compared with traditional processing methods, the horizontal device can extend the maturation time by 20%~40%, which is especially suitable for the processing of high-fiber and high-protein raw materials. This feature allows the anti-nutritional factors such as phytic acid and trypsin inhibitors in raw materials such as soybeans and soybean meal to be more thoroughly destroyed, reducing their adverse effects on the digestive system of livestock and poultry, and improving the overall nutritional value of feed.
3. Strengthen the conditioning function and improve the stability of materials
In addition to heating and maturation, the horizontal quality preservation device also has good conditioning function. It can add appropriate amount of water and heat to the material through steam injection or moisture conditioning device, so that it undergoes physical and chemical changes under heat preservation state and forms a more stable structure.
This conditioning process can not only soften the surface of the material and promote the smooth progress of subsequent granulation or cooling process, but also enhance the binding force between particles and improve the hardness and durability of the finished feed. The feed particles after conditioning are not easy to break, and the loss during transportation and storage is lower, which helps to improve the overall production efficiency and product consistency of the feed factory.
4. Improve the palatability and digestibility of feed
The feed treated by the horizontal quality preservation device has better palatability due to its higher degree of maturation and finer texture. The willingness of livestock and poultry to eat is enhanced, and the food intake increases accordingly, which is conducive to weight gain and healthy development.
More importantly, fully matured feed can pass quickly through the stomach of animals, reduce the retention time in the stomach, and thus speed up the process of nutrient absorption in the small intestine. Studies have shown that the starch gelatinization degree of soybean puffed feed processed by this device can be increased to more than 90%, and the protein digestibility can be increased by 10%-15%, which greatly improves the utilization efficiency of feed energy and protein by livestock and poultry and reduces feeding costs.
5. Strong adaptability to meet diversified production needs
The design of the horizontal quality preservation device is flexible and can adjust parameters according to different raw material characteristics and process requirements. For example, for soybean meal with high oil content, the heating temperature can be appropriately reduced to avoid oil oxidation; for raw materials with high fiber content, the softening effect can be improved by extending the insulation time.
In addition, the device can also be integrated with the automatic control system to achieve real-time monitoring and adjustment of key parameters such as temperature, humidity, and speed to ensure the quality stability of each batch of products. Whether it is a large-scale feed processing plant or a supporting production line for small and medium-sized farms, it can configure a suitable horizontal preservation device according to its own production capacity to achieve efficient, energy-saving and environmentally friendly processing goals.
In summary, the horizontal quality preservation device significantly improves the maturity and quality stability of feed by optimizing the heat conduction path, extending the maturation time, and strengthening the conditioning function. It not only improves the palatability and digestibility of feed, but also brings higher production efficiency and economic benefits to feed factories.
