Abstract
The on-farm production of compound feeds from the farm own grain reduces feed costs. The introduction of technological lines for the production of compound feeds in the form of technological modules using gravitational, inertial and centrifugal impact on feed materials will enable small grain processing enterprises to receive a wide range of compound feeds of high quality at a low cost. In order to design high-performance and low-energy feed preparation units of a block-module type, the authors carried out a technical and technological analysis of small grain processing enterprises. As a result, they have developed a block-module unit, including a gravity separator through which grain passes (before being crushed in a direct impact crusher) and grinding products (before preparing compound feeds), as well as a continuous volumetric dispenser with a cylindrical working body and a high-speed mixer humidifier. Compared with its counterparts, the unit ensures the same quality of compound feeds, but at the lowest power consumption (8 kW) and minimal costs when used for the productionof a given type of compound feed (only opening and closing the corresponding dispensers). The developed unit will make it possible to obtain a wide range of low-cost high-quality compound feeds.
