01CUSTOMER BRIEF
Clear Capacity Requirements.
Defined Pellet Specifications.
The Ecuadorian customer required a pig feed production line with a designed capacity of 3–5 tons per hour, producing 4 mm feed pellets.
These requirements formed the basis of the solution supplied by HERM Machinery. The project focused on translating the customer’s production targets into an installed line ready for daily operation.
Project requirement: establish pig feed pellet production
at the specified capacity range and pellet diameter.
Finished Feed Format
The customer specified 4 mm pig feed pellets as the finished product.
Operational Readiness
The project has progressed through installation and trial operation into regular production.
023D DESIGN & PRODUCTION SOLUTION
From 3D Design to an Operating Feed Line
HERM provided a 3D design for the Ecuador customer alongside the pig feed production solution. The design gives the customer a visual reference for the proposed line, connecting the 3–5 T/H capacity requirement and 4 mm pellet specification with the planned equipment arrangement.
A Visual Reference for the Customer
A 3D layout makes the proposed production line easier to understand. It helps communicate how the equipment is arranged and how the main processing stages relate to one another.
Supporting Project Coordination
The design provides a shared reference when discussing the production solution and installation planning with the customer.
Project progression: 3D design supplied, installation completed,
trial operation successful, and regular production underway.
TYPICAL PIG FEED PELLET PROCESS
- Raw Material Preparation
- Grinding
- Batching & Mixing
- Conditioning & Pelletizing
- Cooling & Screening
- Finished Feed
General process reference. Exact equipment configuration varies by project.
Ingredient Preparation
Grinding and mixing prepare the ingredients for pellet production. Processing conditions depend on the feed formulation.
Pellet Formation
Conditioning and pelletizing convert the prepared feed mixture into pellets. The specified pellet diameter for this project is 4 mm.
Finished-Feed Handling
Cooling and screening typically prepare the pellets for further handling and separate fines from the finished feed.
