bedrijfsnieuws over What are the core functions of an extruded feed machine?

First, ensure consistent product quality. Whether producing plastic granules or animal feed, each product must have roughly the same size, hardness, and density. If the extruder speed fluctuates, for example, the screw sometimes rotates 60 revolutions per minute and sometimes 40 revolutions per minute, the processing time of the raw material in the machine will be inconsistent—raw material processed for longer times will over-melt, while material processed for shorter times will not melt completely, resulting in some extruded products meeting standards while others do not. Speed ​​control keeps the screw speed stable at a fixed value, such as consistently 50 revolutions per minute, ensuring consistent raw material processing time and uniform product quality, preventing situations where "one batch is good and another is bad."

Second, improve production efficiency and avoid wasting time. Different products have different production requirements. Sometimes, to meet deadlines, the extruder needs to run faster; other times, the raw materials are more specialized and require slower processing. Speed ​​control allows for flexible adjustments based on demand: for example, when orders are plentiful, increasing the screw speed from 50 revolutions per minute to 60 revolutions per minute can increase production by 20% per hour; when orders are few or raw materials are difficult to process, the speed can be slowed down to ensure quality. Without speed control, the machine can only run at one speed, either failing to meet deadlines or sacrificing quality for speed, resulting in no improvement in efficiency.

Third, it reduces raw material waste and lowers costs. If the extruder speed is not properly adjusted, it is easy to experience "material blockage" or "idling": if the feeding speed is too fast and the screw rotates too slowly, raw material will accumulate in the machine and block it, requiring a shutdown for cleaning, which essentially wastes this blocked material; if the feeding speed is too slow and the screw rotates too fast, there is not enough raw material in the machine, and the screw running idle not only produces nothing but also wears down the machine. Speed ​​control allows the feeding speed to match the screw speed. For example, when the screw rotates 50 revolutions per minute, the feeding speed is just right so that the raw material enters evenly, without clogging or idling. The raw material utilization rate can be increased by 10%-15%, which can save a lot of costs in the long run.
