Description
Pelleted dried green crop presents essential advantages compared to chaff and meal as processing forms. Normally, the solidity of the pellets does not exceed the values required by animal feeding. Abrasion resulting from turnover processes is at present too high, particularly for the discharge of bins. Belt conveyors, vibrating conveyors, and bucket elevators are suitable to convey pellets. Storage of pellets over long periods has to be done by respecting prescribed climate conditions. Zones with excessive portion of abraded particles in the storing pile are a preferred cause for self-heating. Slit-type dosing units as well as dosing units equipped with scraper bottom and rotating milling drums and, with reservations, screw-type dosing units are S\litable for the dosing of dry feed pellets.
