Crushers in Brazil are running out of soybeans amid tougher

competition from Chinese buyers for the remaining 2017-18

season supplies.

Brazilian crushers have been working with negative margins

since the second half of September, leading some to slow

the pace of processing, according to Cepea, the University of

Sao Paulo's research arm. The soy rally that saw a doubling of

premiums this year is squeezing domestic processors.

Other plants have halted activities, with some considering

resuming only when the new harvest begins in the first quarter

of 2019, said Debora da Silva, an analyst at Cepea. "Soy-product

inventories are low, and some plants are signaling they no longer

have soybean-oil to sell," she said.

The group representing soybean processors in Brazil, known as

Abiove, says crushing margins have been squeezed due to higher

soybean prices, but it hasn't affected the pace of processing, at

least until August, the last month for which there's crushing data

available.

Soaring hot temperatures and a distinct lack of rain this

summer throughout Europe has caused an estimated 8%

drop in the total EU cereal production.

In its latest short-term outlook report by the European

Commission the EU total cereal production for 2018 is

expected to be around 284.3 million tonnes, which represents

a decrease of 5% compared to 2017/18 and 8% compared to

the last 5-year average.

The drought conditions hit wheat production the hardest

leading to a decrease of 9% compared to 2017. The wheat

production forecast is set at 129 million tonnes for 2018. As a

result, the cereal prices have peaked during August reaching

levels higher than last year, with wheat prices increasing by

€50 per tonne and barley by €60 per tonne over last year’s

prices.

Effect on livestock sectors

The dairy sector was also affected due to the significant

reduction in grassland growth and fodder production. The

increase in EU milk collection is lower than expected, with

a forecast of 166.6 million tonnes for 2018, leading to an

increase of 0.6% compared to 2017.

As for the meat sector, beef production is growing more

than anticipated due to a reduced suckler cow herd in

most member states, and a shortage of fodder linked with

the drought, bringing forward slaughtering. The net beef

production for 2018 is forecasted at 8 million tonnes which is

1.6% higher than in 2017.

Poultry production is also growing, expected to reach 14.9

million tonnes in 2018 in comparison with 14.6 million

tonnes in 2017. This rise is linked with the recovery from last

year’s bird flu, but also a drop in imports from Brazil, which

is keeping EU prices high. As for pigmeat, ample supply is

keeping prices down.

"The soybean industry has been meeting international and local

demand," Daniel Furlan Amaral, economics manager at Abiove, said

in a telephone interview.

Brazil's soybean inventories are expected to fall to 1.5 million tons

this season, the lowest since 1999, when Abiove started to compile

the data. That's a result of increasing demand from China amid a

trade war with the US and higher exports of soy products earlier

this season to fill the gap left by a slump in Argentine production

after the worst drought in decades.

Brazil shipped 69.2 million tons of soybeans through September

this year, up 13 per cent from a year earlier, Trade Ministry data

show. In September, exports totaled 4.6 million tons, of which 91 per

cent went to China.

Since export prospects remain favorable, crushers may need to

turn to imported soy-oil to meet domestic demand, Silva said. Brazil

has a mandatory biodiesel mix in diesel of 10 per cent, and 70 per

cent of the biofuel is made from the oilseed. In September, Brazil

imported 10,000 tons of soybean oil, rising from 2,000 tons a year

ago. It was the first soy-oil import since May.

"Differentials between Brazil and US soy prices indicate that

importing the oilseed for crushing may make sense for some

Brazilian industries," Amaral from Abiove said. "Still, I believe

soybean imports, if they really happen, will be few, only to meet a

very specific demand in the coming months."

The Asia/Pacific region is by far the largest producer of farmed fish and the largest market for aquaculture

supplies and equipment. Rising fish demand has supported the use of increasingly intensive aquaculture

practices, requiring higher investment in aquaculture inputs. Increasing stocking densities and greater

reliance on recirculating aquaculture systems will promote demand for more expensive equipment and

chemicals to keep water quality high and disease risks low. Greater demand for sustainably raised fish in

export markets will promote sales of water treatment chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and other products.

These and other trends are presented in Global Aquaculture: Feed, Equipment, & Chemicals, a new study

from The Freedonia Group, a Cleveland-based industry research firm.

The aquaculture sector of the Asia/Pacific region is extremely diversified in terms of species, technologies,

and farming systems employed. Going forward, catfish and tilapia are expected to be the fastest growing

finfish types, as both have relatively low associated production costs and can sell for higher prices than

carp in international trade.

Total global demand for aquaculture supplies and equipment is projected to rise 6.5% annually to

$69.4 billion in 2022. Gains will outpace those in aquaculture production as efforts to intensify fish farm

production will lead to increased spending on aquaculture inputs.

On September 3, the 2018 summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC)

was held at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. Since the launch of the Belt and Road

Initiative, over 100 countries and international organizations have participated in the

campaign and quite a great number of domestic enterprises with their latest Made-

in-China achievements are expanding into overseas markets. To commemorate the

accomplishment of the Belt and Road Initiative, a documentary produced by China

Global Television Network (CGTN) was played to the representatives of the Forum and

guests at the event. As a distinguished representative of the Initiative, FAMSUN with its

manufacturing base in Egypt, was showcased in the documentary.

Since 1998, FAMSUN has been tapping into overseas markets. After 20 years of

development, the company has established its global marketing and service network

with its business mode changing from agent system into localization of its technology,

marketing, service and production. Nowadays, FAMSUN has more than 50 branch offices

around the globe. The manufacturing base is located in the northwestern economic

zone of the Gulf of Suez, Egypt and covers an area of 5.7 hectares. A foothold in Egypt,

the base makes it easier to reach for the markets in the Middle East and Africa. It

functions as a part of the solution to solving the food waste for lack of food storage

systems in Egypt and other neighboring countries.

FAMSUN Chairman:

Focus on New Opportunities for

International Development

According to Fan Tianming, the manufacturing base in Egypt is the first of its kind. FAMSUN aims to

contribute to the food safety in Africa by developing its grain storage system. Currently, FAMSUN’s

products find their way to more than 50 countries and regions including the Middle East and Africa.

The revenues from these markets are estimated to reach 500 million RMB in 2018. The second phase

of the project is expected to be complete and operational in 2019, after which time FAMSUN aims to

make for a market size worth one billion RMB in the Middle East and Africa by 2021.

Fan Tianming noted that the manufacturing base, characterized by its localized talents, makes its

contribution to these regions via tax, employment and economic growth, promotes cultural converging

“and in the second half of the year, FAMSUN signed an agreement on a soybean oil crushing project

with the Egyptian grain and oil processing giant ESPO. Besides, we also signed a strategic agreement

with the largest commercial feed processor EL-FAGR.”

In addition to the collaboration with the two companies, FAMSUN also wrapped up quite a number

of assistance programs in Angola, Mozambique and Congo, showcasing the demonstration effect of

“Made-in-China" campaign.


On September 17, 2018, the 10th edition of VIV China

was held at Nanjing International Expo Center, Nanjing,

China. Since 2000 when VIV was first introduced into

China, the biennial event has witnessed ten successful

editions, connecting China’s animal industry with the

global animal farming industry in areas ranging from feed,

food, animal farming, and dairy to fishery. The accelerating

modernization of China’s animal farming industry drives

the growth of exchange in animal farming products and

technology. In 2018, around 600 exhibitors and 15,000

visitors from more than 80 countries participated in the

professional exhibition.

For this year’s event, FAMSUN brought forth its lineup of

the R140 extruder, the K20 gear driven pellet mill, and

supporting quick-start conditioner. Among the products,

the R-Series extruder with characteristics such as quick-

start preproduction, one-key operation, and a Dual Die

Throttling Valve (a non-stop, rapid die change device

with on-line mechanical energy control system), fully

demonstrated the company’s efforts in improving feed

safety, production efficiency, as well as technological

strength.

“It is time for China's feed industry to ‘go out,’” said

FAMSUN’s Vice- President of International Marketing and

a member of the board, Liu Guangdao, who was giving

a speech at the Belt and Road International Animal

Husbandry Summit Forum. In 2017, the total production of

feed in China exceeded 200 million metric tons with annual

output value totaling 800 billion RMB. With accelerating

consolidation and upgrading occurring in the industry, domestic

animal farming enterprises should rise to the occasion and seize new

development opportunities by expanding their business into countries

and regions along the B&T.

One of the highlights of VIV China 2018 was that leading feed

companies began to upgrade their products, i.e., from regular pellet

products to extruded feeds by launching various types of extrusion

equipment for aquatic feed products, including twin-screw extruders,

single-screw extruders, extruders for smaller pellets and double-die

extruders, to name a few. It can be said that upgrading from regular

pellets to extruded feed brings the aquatic producers to a new

battlefield where they are provided with a blue ocean market.

On the afternoon of September 18, Mr. Ma Liang, Chief Expert

from FAMSUN’s research institute was invited to share his insights

at a summit—Aquatic China 2018. Mr. Ma made a speech on the

improvement of extruded aquafeed from the perspective of both

production and processing. According to him, the improvement of the

aquafeed depends not only on the nutrition, but also on the production

technology. He also highlighted an industry challenge for feed

producers being faced with the task of reducing power consumption

while improving production.

Sticking to its principle of a higher standard and higher quality, FAMSUN

has been investing 5% of its revenues into R&D. The company has

established its own research institutes in China, United States, Germany,

and Denmark while attracting top international talent who form R&D

teams with domestic professionals. FAMSUN’s teams develop 6-8 hi-

tech products every year, among which one or two maintain a leading

international position.

Product Update

Four Improvements of the New Proportional Scale Door for Future ProjectsDong Biao

Product development background

Nowadays, the generic PLDY series of proportional scale is equipped

with an arc-shaped door. For some special occasions, however, such

configuration may cause trouble. For example, for the batching of some

fine ingredients, especially the ingredients for premix, leakage often

occurs. Besides, the door often gets stuck during the batching of some

gelatinous or sticky ingredients. The main reason lies in the existence of

the clearance between the arc-shaped door and the hopper. Without the

sealing element, leakage will occur in the case of the material with good

fluidity or airflow; and for the gelatinous ingredients, cakes will form and

jam the scale door.

To solve the problem, we have developed a new type of proportional

scale door which draws on the design of discharge door switch of the

mixer and the experience from the silicon rubber strip sealing structure.

As shown in the picture, the new door successfully prevents the leakage

and improves the stability and reliability of the device.

Major structural features

Main design ideas: By drawing on the successful use of the discharge

door switch (featuring good flexibility and self-locking structure) on

the mixer and the use of discharge door seal structure (reliable sealing

and easy maintenance) developed for fertilizer batching machine,

we combined the strength of the both and launched the upgraded

product. The upgraded door structure is characterized by its novel

structure, flexible switch, reliable seal, convenient maintenance and

stability, making it a perfect choice for the proportional scale for the

production of premix with higher fluidity and proportional scale for

sticky ingredients for piglet creep feed. Its main structural features are as

follows:

The rotary type (side arrangement) scale door switch structure

The rotary shaft of the side door is simultaneously driven by the air cylinders on both sides, which ensures the support rigidity of the scale door.

When the door is in place, the self-locking device will keep it locked so that even in the case of an air-supply failure, the scale door will still remain

locked, ensuring normal production process.

The structure of the door body is enhanced so that both the stress and strain exerted on the door are reduced, which ensures better airtightness

indirectly.

When the scale door reaches the designated position, the magnetic switch on one of the air cylinders provides the signal that suggests the door is

already in place.

The sealing strip added to the discharge port of the

scale door improves its airtightness

When the scale door is closed to the right position, the

door body panel is in close contact with the hopper inside

the scale body, ensuring nice sealing effect;

Besides, the silicon rubber strips around the hopper also

cling closely to the panel of the door body and further

prevent the occurring of possible leakage.

The sight glass to assist leakage check

On each side of the scale door there is a sight glass which makes it convenient to open the device to examine and repair the sealing strips

and check for any leakage.

Neat and attractive appearance

The appearance of the device was designed by industrial designers; the layout of the air pipe and the cables was optimized (all of them are

positioned inside the mounting plate);

The mounting of the shield is supported by dismountable hinge and quick-open lock, which makes the mounting/dismounting of the

shield more convenient and the maintenance during operation easier.

Tests by the testing center

After the trial production, we conducted related tests by installing the proportional scale door on the scale and carried out tests with

mountain flour. The parameters are shown as follows:

Although mountain flour has higher volume weight and greater fineness similar to mineral premix, there was no leakage found during

multiple batch charging, which suggested that the sealing effect was on a par with the desired effect.

Summary

So far, the trial production and related tests have already been finished, with the sealing effect of the product reaching the expected

effect. Now the product is available for its use in the upcoming projects. The size of the upgraded scale door is consistent with the size of

the PLDY1000/1500 scale door. It is a perfect replacement of the latter.

Major Performance Improvements of the

Dedicated PHDS260 Soybean Extruder

1. Introduction

Soybeans are a high-quality protein source with well-

balanced nutrients, which include 36% crude protein, more

than 18% fat, about 30% carbohydrates, and many vitamins

and minerals. However, if directly fed by adding it to the

diets of the animals, it may cause dietetic diarrhea in young

animals as soybeans contain anti-nutritional factors, such

as Trypsin Inhibitor and an antigen protein. Therefore, the

use of soybeans in young animals is restricted. The antigen

activity and the threat of the anti-nutrients are eliminated

or reduced during extrusion. Extrusion of soybeans

denatures the protein and ruptures the soybean oil cells,

which improves the nutritional value of the soybean

allowing it to become a valuable, low-cost, ingredient in a

variety of animal feeds.

The extruded soybean has the following characteristics:

Protein: reportedly the amino acid digestibility of

the extruded full-fat soybean stays at 92.5％, and the

digestibility of the amino acid is 0.6% higher than that of

soybean meal.

Oil: because of the high temperature conditions during

extrusion, the lipoxidase enzyme in the oil is destroyed.

Mechanical and thermal energy: it is necessary to impart

considerable amounts of energy into the soybeans to

inactivate the anti-nutritional factors and to release the oil

from their cells.

Application: for decades extruded full-fat soybeans have

been widely used as a highly effective feed in other

countries, significantly improving the growth of farm

animals such as pigs and poultry.

Recently, the segmented sectors of the extruded soybean

market have taken on the following characteristics:

Upsizing: according to Chinese government regulations,

genetically modified soybeans are not allowed to be

technology include:

The initial pulverizer: SWFP66×125C with a 250 kW main motor and a sieve diameter of 1.8mm.

The PHDS260 extruder, equipped with a main motor of 250 kW.

The supporting conditioner is the SCTZ33 double-pass conditioner (the second conditioner is equipped

with a variable frequency drive) with a power capacity of 18.5 kW.

The cooler: SLNF24×24A.

The crushing section adopts the MUSL35×1500 crusher (total power 56.5 kW).

traded as a semi-finished product by processing companies, thus raising

the market access threshold. Foreign companies such as Yihai Kerry,

Cargill, Bunge and domestic enterprises, including COFOCO, Jiusan

Group, Chinatex Corporation, Sinograin etc., Shandong Bohai Oil Co.,

Ltd., Longkou Xiangchi Grain Oil Co., Ltd., Yuancheng Soybean Co., Ltd.,

Zhonghai, and Hopeful Grain&Oil Co., Ltd, have all expanded into this

field on a much larger scale, using higher levels of automation. This new

trend has set higher standards for our dedicated soybean extrusion

equipment.

Large scale professional producers, such as Shanghai Yuanyao Co., Ltd.

and Henan Shennong, are targeting higher production capacities and

higher quality products.

On the other side of the demand equation is the increased interests

from overseas markets, such as Turkey, America, and Southeast Asia.

Professionalism. For starters, with its oil content, the soybean has

higher stickiness, posing challenge for cleanup; secondly, a dedicated

soybean extrusion line is needed to prevent cross-contamination of

the ingredients and to ensure the quality of the product; thirdly, since

the genetically modified soybean is not allowed to be traded as semi-

finished product, raising the market access threshold and domestic

soybean production has shifted from feed producers to oil processors.

4.Other structural changes

The PHDS260 extruder has been re-designed to improve product quality and system reliability. The following hardware modifications were made

to meet this new requirement:

4.1 The hydraulic single-hole discharge device (optional)

The operating principle of the hydraulic single-hole discharge device features the coordination of the extrusion chamber and the die (at the

center of which there is the discharge port) gradient. The die is driven by the hydraulic system to move forward or backward to open or close the

discharge port. If the material produced by the extruder did not meet the requirement, or the internal pressure of the chamber is excessive, or if

the die hole is blocked, the hydraulic cylinder moves backward to withdraw the hydraulic die and open the discharge port, relieving the pressure

and any blocked material.

After the removal of the blocked material the hydraulic

cylinder pushes the die back toward the discharge port,

making the die and the gradient press close together to

increase the die restriction. After this brief operation, the

production can be resumed. Upon shutdown, to remove the

residue inside of the device, the hydraulic cylinder pushes

the die backward to open it and allow any residual to be

discharged from the extrusion chamber by the rotation of

the screw.

Highlights of the hydraulic single-hole discharge device

include:

A higher level of safety and efficiency: during production, the

working current of the extruder is stable (current fluctuation

is lower than 10 A) and the hydraulic device is stable, too.

When the production is over, the hydraulic discharge device

can be withdrawn from the extrusion chamber through

remote control. There is no need for the binder bolt to be

removed.

Simple adjustment: the hydraulic single-hole discharge

device can have its three-hole die adjusted during operation

and changed. Besides, the clearance between the discharge

cone and the plug screw can also be adjusted to make

enough space for discharge.

which calls for a considerable amount of time and labor. Replacing the oil seals also requires the whole extruder to be disassembled, meaning

great labor intensity. To avoid operational issues once these issues have been addressed, the maintenance staff must correctly reinstall the screw

configuration and adjustment the belt pulley tension.

Therefore, we sought a more straightforward way to avoid these failures and a faster way to replace both seals. To solve this problem, we also

optimized the structure of the bearing housing of the PHDS260 extruder (see picture 4).

The new improved structure has the following

characteristics: the oil seal and the material seal are

effectively separated, improving lubrication and

reducing the probability of system failure. Additionally,

the reliability of both the oil seal and the structure of

the material seal are now enhanced.

For improved oil seal life, the lubrication of the bearing

housing was redesigned. It now includes a multi-point

lubrication system; the pressure in the lubrication

circuit is reduced by 0.055 MPa from the previous

design (see picture 5).

Also, the oil seal and the material seal can be replaced more efficiently with our unique design. The replacement of the oil seal can be done without

the removal of the extrusion chamber and the screw.

4.3 Optimization of bypass valve

During extrusion, some steam and fines were known to leak from the bypass valve. To improve the production environment, we decided to address

this issue. The new bypass, as shown in picture 6, is fully closed and prevents any steam from escaping. The outlet of the bypass can be connected to

an auger for recycling of the feed scrap during initial production, thus preventing manual cleanup and yield losses.

5. Summary

FAMSUN's Research Institute will continually monitor the performance of our new Soybean Extruders that are operating in our clients' factories to

strengthen the research and to further improve our equipment line.

Picture 3 hydraulic discharge device（CN205409620U（discharge device for extruder）

Power consumption and eco-friendliness: when the hydraulic system reaches the default pressure, the motor of the hydraulic stack shuts down,

and the system maintains its pressure.

The hydraulic discharge device is used in many of our client’s factories, such as Fujian Yuancheng Bean Industry Co., Ltd., Zhengzhou Lianggong

Engineering Co., Ltd. and Fujian Changde Co., Ltd.

4.2 Optimization of the lubrication method for bearing block and the sealing mechanism of the material seal

Leakages from both the bearing housing oil seal and the barrel’s material seal are the most common maintenance issues of the extruder. This

creates significant downtime requires great effort, as the removal of the screw can be difficult and often needs a dedicated disassembly tool,

The Upgraded Quick-Start

Conditioner That Saves the Day

Development background:

Due to the slow rise in temperature at the start of every production run, a large amount of meal is discharged to pellet mill before receiving

enough thermal treatment. This initial product does not meet quality specifications and is considered as unqualified waste. Typically, it is

discharged through a by-pass door instead of entering the pellet mill and being converted to pellets. The amount of waste produced in this

process is estimated to be dozens, or even hundreds of kilos. Collection and clean-up of this material requires many hours of extra human

resources every day.

Purpose of our quick-start conditioner:

Reduce material waste at the start of each production and start normal production more rapidly.

Operating principle:

The Quick-Start conditioner motor uses a variable frequency drive to control the shaft speed and its direction of rotation. During the startup

of the machine, the rotor turns in a reverse manner to reverse the flow of the meal and to retain it inside of the pre-conditioner for a period of

time. Discharge flow starts after the meal temperature reaches a preset value and after the shaft changes direction.

An Application Case of FAMSUN Big Data

Introduction

With further integration of the Internet of things or IoT, social network,

cloud computing into our life and the rapid development of memory

space and network bandwidth, data collection in areas such as the Internet,

communication, finance, commerce and medicine keeps growing. With so

much data with high dimensionality and complex data structure, how to

effectively obtain values from data mining remains a problem. Therefore,

data mining targeting the big data is of great significance. Data mining

targeting the big data has the following essential characteristics: The first is

instantaneity. With such volume of data, it is necessary to conduct analysis

and provide real-time results. Secondly, we need to precisely extract valuable

user information hidden among the data, transform the information into

knowledge and demonstrate it with a model which would in turn be applied

in reality to improve productivity and optimize marketing plans, etc.

Practice and Application of the Technique of Low-Temperature Pelleting with All Material Extruded

1. Preface

As China's pig farming industry evolves, piglets are now being weaned at a younger age. Nutrition for piglets during this period is

vital and drives the development and promotion of quality creep feeds. The development and design of creep feed should take

into consideration the immature digestive system, poor digestion, immature immunity, reduced disease resistance, fast growth, high

demand for nutrition of the piglets to fundamentally solve issues such as diarrhea, weaning stress, and help piglets transition to normal

diets without further elevating stress.

Quality creep feeds are characterized by their: ① good digestibility and absorption; the starch in the finished particles should be as

highly gelatinized, and the levels of anti-nutritional factors should be as low as possible, too. ② Nice palatability ensures that the piglets

like the feed, thus increasing the feed intake and meeting the daily weight gain, and ③ Total balanced nutrition. Ingredients differ

in their inclusion of nutrients and efficiency; therefore, the formulation should be done scientifically and blended carefully.④ Lower

incidence of diseases and the prevention of weaning stress. Weaning stress leads to a decrease in weight and stagnation in the growth

of the piglets, which influences the growth of the piglets in later stages and their slaughter weight. The processing of high-quality

creep feed is closely related to strict ingredient purchasing standards, advanced formulation technology, processing technology, quality

control technology, and reasonable creep feeding. This essay explains the practice and application of low temperature pelleting with all

the materials extruded in the production of high-quality creep feed with the aim of providing some help for feed producers in making

choices among different creep feed technology and equipment.

2. Low-temperature pelleting with all material extruded

2.1 Highlights of low temperature pelleting with all the materials extruded

The novel technology used in the creep feed production for piglets is shown in picture 1. The low-temperature pelleting technology

process is composed of the following links: material receiving, preliminary cleaning section, preliminary pulverizing section, preliminary

mixing section, extruding section, secondary pulverizing section, secondary mixing section, low-temperature pelleting section, packing

section as well as an auxiliary system.

2.2 Material receiving + preliminary cleaning and essential point control

Materials after harvest, drying, transportation, and storage usually have the following impurities: ① inorganic impurities mainly including soil,

sand grains, gravels, metal etc.; ② organic impurities including stem leaves, skin and shells, straws, wormwood, rope pieces etc.; ③ other impurities

including pest body particles, non-solid particles and seeds mixed with other ingredients. All the impurities above-mentioned should be removed

to ensure the quality of the product, safety and stability of the equipment in the following process flow. Cleaning equipment needed: ① drum

screen, permanent magnetic drum separator, dust catcher, destoner. For corn stored in the silo, a double-layer screen (external sieve mesh

φ3.0～3.5mm) is needed. ② With more clients raising the quality requirements of the pelletized feed, some are adding to the production process

the washing equipment, color sorter, decorticator to remove the impurities, molding particles and reduce the disease risks and enhance the

palatability of the finished product.

2.3 Pulverizing section and key point control

The ingredients should be pulverized to increase the surface area of the material and meet requirements for following treatment process, better

product quality and appearance, starch gelatinization and better palatability. The fineness of pulverizing depends on the actual absorption of the

nutrients, subsequent process, appearance requirement, and production cost control, etc. The optimal pulverizing fineness (as shown in Table 1)

of the feed refers to the geometric logarithm average particle size that helps the animals realize the maximum utilization of the feed or achieve

optimal performance without any risks in animal health.

Based on the satisfaction of the piglet's demand for nutrition and the realization of technological requirements, the production costs should be as

low as possible. Excessive processing and requirements lead to waste of resources and health risks. In the low-temperature pelleting process, the

Ф2.0 screen is usually used in the preliminary pulverizing. The particle size distribution of corn pulverized with the SWFP66 pulverizer equipped with

the Ф2.0 screen is shown in picture 2, in which 80.04% through the 30 mesh size, 62.47% through 40 mesh, 46.99% through 50 mesh.

2.4 Material mixing and key point control

The purpose of mixing is to homogenously mix the different ingredients as per the formula, realize the optimal effect of the mixture and provide

uniform ingredient content. In feed production, the mixing section is a vital link which determines the production capacity and quality of the feed

product. The scale of one plant relies on the production efficiency of the mixing section; its efficiency influences not only the economic benefits of

the plant but also the rationality of the overall productive technology. For batching mixers, the mixing time is essential for the quality of the mixing

process. With shorter mixing time, all the ingredients would not be evenly mixed and then discharged, making the quality of the feed falling short

of the requirement. However, longer mixing time would lower production efficiency and increase power consumption, eating into economic

benefits. The mixing time of each type of feed should go through individual tests to determine its right mixing time. For the production of creep

feed using low-temperature pelleting technology, the SJHS2B, and SJHS4B single-shaft paddle mixers are used. The author did sampling tests for

the mixing time and mixing uniformity during the production. The optimal mixing time for the SJHS2B and SJHS4B single-shaft paddle mixers

stays at 90-120s, as shown in picture 4. When the material needs liquid, the time for liquid addition (around 60s )is also needed. Therefore, the total

mixing time should be limited within the range of 150-180s. The residue left in the mixer can cause cross-contamination for different batches of

products. And to ensure the quality of the mixture, the residual volume should be controlled as little as possible. The residue rate for the SJHS2B

and SJHS4B single-shaft paddle mixers is ≤0.1%.

2.5 Extrusion section and key point control

Views vary over the best gelatinization of the creep feed. But common understanding is made concerning the following points:

The overall degree of gelatinization cannot be too low—usually above 50%. It is generally recognized that lower gelatinization leads to low

digestibility and absorption of the nutrients.

A higher degree of gelatinization otherwise, will increase production costs. Besides, the higher particle hardness after pelleting, this may also

influence the feed intake of the pigs. The reasonable levels should be controlled within 75%.

In conclusion, the reasonable gelatinization ranges from 50%-70%. Through market survey visits, we found that the majority of the companies

think that the gelatinization around 60% is reasonable. In the meantime, the author listed the product quality objectives of the feed products on

the market for reference. See Table 2.

Since the optimum gelatinization level for

creep feed ranges from 50% to 70%, there is

great need for the processing of the feed, which

raises the requirements for the configuration

and related parameters of the equipment in the

extruding section.

Conditioner configuration: conventional single

pass conditioner is not recommended whereas

the conditioning system with longer cooking

time is a better choice. The recommended

combination is "conditioner + quality unit +

conditioner".

Extruder configuration: equipment with larger

processing range is preferred for the extrusion

of the mixed material. Currently, there are two

types of screw extruding equipment, namely

the expander and the extruder. The expander is

characterized by its lower length-to-diameter

ratio and higher rotating speed and annular

gap discharging method. Creep feed produced

with such equipment has lower gelatinization

(40%-50%) in that the material stays longer in

Picture 3 particle size distribution of mixed material pulverized with the SWFP66 pulverizer equipped with the Ф1.5 screen

the expander; the gelatinization cannot meet the quality standard. The

extruder, with higher length-to-diameter ratio and screw compression

ratio, can produce extruded corn with a gelatinization reaching 90%.

The use of the extruder in the production of the mixed material can

result in lower output and higher power consumption, making it harder

to control the extruding strength and leading to higher production

cost. In response to clients’ changing demand, FAMSUN developed

the SXPS series extruder for poultry and livestock feed production.

The equipment which is a dedicated machine for extruding has the

following characteristics:

The length-to-diameter ratio is higher than that of the conventional

expander, lengthening the retaining time of the material in the extrusion

chamber.

Supported by the partition cooking technology, the SXPS extruder can

prevent the loss of the vitamins resulting from pressure charging;

The machine adopts the hydraulic-control annular gap discharging

device; the gap is displayed on the touchscreen.

In addition, the optional auto-control system which can shut down/

start the whole extruding section, is also available for clients to realize

unattended operation.

Nine Typical Technical Models of Poultry and Livestock Manure Utilization

Recently, there have been some early-phase achievements in the utilization of manure

from poultry and livestock farming in China’s animal husbandry, accelerating the pace

of realizing the goal of “comprehensively utilizing more than 75% of national poultry

and livestock manure resources, and that the manure disposal equipment accounting

for over 95% of the equipment belonging to the large-scale domestic animal farming

companies by 2020”. According to the information released by Ministry of Agriculture

and Rural Affairs (MOA), in 2017, the rate of comprehensive utilization of poultry and

livestock manure nationwide was 64% and the manure disposal equipment on large-

scale animal farms accounted for 65% of the total amount. For some big poultry

and livestock producers such as Henan province, Hunan province and Heilongjiang

province, the rate was 80.4%, 75% and 64% respectively. In the meantime, MOA and

other related departments organized multiple forces to promote manure utilization

and treatment technologies suitable for local conditions.

Nine typical technical models

According to Yang Zhenhai, head of National Animal Husbandry Service, integrative

layout of plant production and animal farming; comprehensive utilization of animal

manures by returning the manure to the field and using them as energy sources are

the basic ideas of the developed countries when it comes to tackling environmental

pollution in animal husbandry. Based on the experience drawn from local areas, the

National Animal Husbandry Service summarized the typical poultry and livestock

manure utilization models as follows: mixed crop-animal farming, waste sterilizing

and reusing and up-to-standard discharge. The first category includes the returning

of all the manure to the field, composting, the utilization of manure as resources

and fertilizers. The second category also includes the utilization of the manures as

substrate, bedding, feeds and fuels. Yang Zhenhai notes that up-to-standard discharge

of wastewater triggers higher costs and it is difficult to realize, therefore, it can only be

used as a backup technology.

Each of the above-mentioned model has its pros and cons. Take composting, for

instance. The model makes use of the solid manure from pig, beef cattle, layer and

sheep farms. After aerobic composting or harmless treatment by fermentation bed,

the compost is used in the local farmland or as ingredient for organic fertilizer.

Table 3 parameters for the extrusion section


The composting model has advantages, such as thorough harmless

treatment, shorter fermentation period, more added values and

economic benefits. However, composting which produces a great

amount of foul odor can only be employed on poultry farms or

sheep farms where there is only solid manure and no wastewater.

According to the Action Plan of Livestock & Poultry Manure

Utilization (2017-2020) by MOA, for northeastern regions including

Inner Mongolia, Liaoning province, Jinlin province and Heilongjiang

province where there is vast area of farmland and the temperature

in winters is low, the environmental carrying capacity and the

absorptive capacity of the land of relatively higher. Therefore, three

technical models are prioritized:

NO.1 Returning of all manures to the field

For farming-intensive areas or large-scale farms, professional manure

treatment companies can be relied on to focus on the gathering

of the manures as well as harmless treatment by storing them in

the lagoons. After the harvest of the crops or before planting, the

manures will be spread to the farmland with the help of dedicated

fertilizer applying machine, thus reducing the use of chemical

fertilizers.

No.2 The utilization of wastewater as fertilizer

For large-scale farms supported by farmland, the wastewater from

animal farming goes through harmless treatment through lagoons

or biogas projects and is used as base fertilizer after harvest or

before planting.

No.3 Utilization of manures alternative energy sources

Relying on intensive livestock farms or third-party manure disposal

companies, the manure in a region can be gathered and used to

generate electric power via biogas projects; the biogas residue can

be used to produce organic fertilizer and the biogas slurry applied

to the farmland or processed as concentrate.

The National Science and Technology Alliance of poultry and

livestock Waste Utilization launched by National Animal Husbandry

Service has organized a couple of technical training courses since

June and invited experts from universities and research institutes to

expound the nine typical technical models. According to Li Guoxue,

a professor from College of Resources and Environmental Science,

China Agricultural University, the key technologies of returning

all the manures to the field include manure treatment, storage

and professional applying of the manure to the field. This model is

suitable for manure cleaning by water submerging or automatic

manure scraping and backwashing on with the content of solid

substance less than 15% and that there is enough land matching

the amount of the manure.

Li Guoxue says that the returning of all the manures to the field

cannot be realized completely. More intelligent and efficient

integration technology that combines gathering, disposal, storage

and recycling of the manure are yet to be developed. Besides,

management of the model and related subsidy measures should be

taken into consideration too.

The pioneering ectopic fermentation bed

In July, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs released the Top

Ten Pioneering Agricultural Technologies in 2018. As a part of the

utilization of manures as compost, the technology using ectopic

fermentation bed to dispose manure on pig farms got on the list.

In the ectopic fermentation bed model, the manure enters the underlayer or it is delivered outside the pig house through the slatted

floor. Then the fermentation and decomposing begin with the addition of bedding and microbial flora. According to the Action Plan

of Livestock & Poultry Manure Utilization (2017-2020), the promotion of such technology is given priority in eastern coastal areas and

southwestern China. Family farms that adopt “company + farmer” mode are advised to use outdoor fermentation bed model and the

large-scale pig farms use the elevated fermentation bed.

At a technical seminar held by National Science and Technology Alliance of Poultry and Livestock Waste Utilization in Beijing in July,

representatives from animal farming stations in Fujian, Anhui, Shandong, Sichuan and Hubei respectively introduced the application of

the microbial fermentation bed model.

The representatives were of the opinion that among other challenges, the ectopic fermentation bed is of a system engineering mode that

requires powerful technical expertise and water conservation is the key to the success of this pioneering model.

In late August, 2018, a technical panel was formed with Yang Xingming, a professor from the College of Resources and Environmental

Science, Nanjing Agricultural University as head of the panel and Li Ji, a professor from the College of Resources and Environmental

Science, China Agricultural University as deputy head. The group of experts would promote the application of the ectopic fermentation

bed by focusing on the technology integration (reduction of the use of sources, development of flipping equipment, choice of microbial

strain etc.), identifying experimental demonstration bases, drafting of standards and technical training sessions.

To Brave the Waves & Lead the Future

As more and more people are paying attention to

environmental protection and related policies are

forged and perfected, the feed processing modes

with higher power consumption and emission

now face the fate of being replaced by eco-

friendly, intelligent feed production. These topics

were discussed at the 2018 Feed Processing

Technology Symposium held by FAMSUN on

September 16, 2018.

According to Mr. Yan Kuiyou, head of China

Feed Industry Association work office, with

more innovations in animal farming coming

up, especially the development of large-scale,

standardized and specialized animal agriculture,

feed industry nowadays becomes an essential

part of animal husbandry and further extend

the space of the latter, promoting the integrative

development of the two sectors by improving

the utilization of waste resources from animal

farming, etc.

“In recent years, as a focus in the feed industry,

the intelligent feed plant has been receiving

great attention. But what is the core function

of an intelligent feed plant?” said Wang Feixue,

a product manager of intelligent feed plant

division from FAMSUN. Wang Feixue analyzed

the relationship between feed production and

cyber-physical system, intelligent production

control, warehouse management and production

traceability and so forth by citing the examples

from FAMSUN’s intelligent feed plant design and

production control, visualized data collection and

sharing.

As a leader in the manufac tur ing of feed

machinery, such as the extruder and pellet mill,

FAMSUN also invited some experts to share its

knowledge and insights in this field. Ma Liang,

chief expert from FAMSUN’s research institute,

shared with the audience the knowledge in how

to produce higher-quality extruded pellets for

different formulas by optimizing production

parameters and configuration and improve the

output of the extruder. “One extruder with only one

set of configurations could not solve all the issues,”

he said. Li Qingkai, vice-president of FAMSUN

research institute also shared his insights into

better pelleting efficiency and the technological

trend in the research in pellet mills by citing the

actual performance of FAMSUN’s K20 pellet mill

which was exhibited at this year’s VIV China, in

Nanjing. The discussion was warmly welcomed by

the audience and the audience also contributed

to the exploration by raising practical problems

encountered in live production.
