Choosing a feed granulator that suits your needs requires comprehensive consideration of many factors. The following are some key points:

Production scale
Farming scale: If it is a small family farm or individual farmer, the number of livestock is small and the demand for feed is not large. The flat die pelletizer is a more suitable choice. The flat die pelletizer has a simple structure, convenient operation and relatively low price. If it is a medium-sized farm, you can choose between the flat die pelletizer and the ring die pelletizer according to the actual situation. Large feed processing plants have high requirements for production efficiency and stability, and should choose large ring die pelletizers or higher-end pelletizing equipment.
Feed production demand: clarify the feed production you need. Generally speaking, the output of the flat die pelletizer is from several hundred kilograms to 1 ton per hour, while the output of the ring die pelletizer is relatively high, reaching several tons per hour.

Equipment performance

Pelletizing effect: The pellets produced by a good feed granulator should have a smooth surface, moderate hardness, uniform size, no cracks, and high pellet forming rate and finished product qualification rate. For example, the pellets produced by the ring die pelletizer usually have a good gloss.
Production efficiency: Pay attention to indicators such as the hourly output, continuous working time and stability of the equipment. Equipment with high production efficiency can meet a large amount of feed demand in a short time.
Automation: Equipment with a high degree of automation can reduce manual operation, improve production efficiency and stability, and reduce labor intensity and cost. For example, some advanced feed pelletizers have functions such as automatic feeding, automatic parameter adjustment, and automatic alarm.

Equipment quality and price

Brand and reputation: Choose a well-known brand and a good reputation of feed pelletizers. Usually, these brands of equipment are more guaranteed in terms of quality, performance and after-sales service, such as Gofine and other brands.
Material and process: Check the materials of key components of the equipment, such as the body, rollers, molds, etc. High-quality materials can ensure the durability and stability of the equipment. At the same time, advanced manufacturing processes can also improve the performance and quality of the equipment, such as welding process, processing accuracy, etc.
Price and cost-effectiveness: According to your own economic strength and budget, comprehensively consider factors such as equipment performance, quality, after-sales service, etc., and choose products with high cost-effectiveness.

After-sales service

Technical support: The supplier should have a professional technical team that can provide users with comprehensive technical support such as equipment installation, commissioning, training, and maintenance to help users solve problems encountered during use.
Accessories supply: Ensure the timely supply of accessories to reduce equipment maintenance time and downtime. Choosing equipment with strong universal accessories and sufficient market supply can reduce later maintenance costs.
Service response time: Understand the supplier’s after-sales service response time so that when the equipment fails, it can be repaired and handled in time to avoid affecting production.
