Precise pressure adjustment method for automatic fish food making equipment - Knowledge

content

The intelligent feedback adjustment method using pressure sensors is the core of the Best Pet Food Extrusion Equipment Machine's precise pressure control, suitable for high-end pet food production. A high-precision pressure sensor is installed in the extrusion chamber of the small pet food extrusion equipment machine to collect pressure data in real time and transmit it to the PLC control system. The system automatically coordinates with the feeding system, temperature control system, and screw speed system for adjustment. When the pressure exceeds the set value (e.g., 4.5 MPa), the system automatically reduces the feeding speed by 5% and increases the heating temperature by 5°C; when the pressure is below the set value (e.g., 3.5 MPa), the system automatically increases the feeding speed by 5% and decreases the heating temperature by 5°C, ensuring the pressure remains stable within a precise range of 3.5-4.5 MPa. This method offers fast adjustment response (delay ≤ 0.5 seconds), and pressure fluctuations can be controlled within ±0.1 MPa, far superior to manual adjustment. It ensures uniform cooking and hardness of each kibble, making it particularly suitable for the production of high-end freeze-dried base pet food, preventing over- or under-cooking of some kibble due to pressure fluctuations.

The screw lead combination adjustment method is a precise adjustment technique for high-end pet food with special formulations. Different screw leads affect the feeding efficiency and extrusion strength of the raw material. By combining screw leads with different leads (e.g., using a large lead screw in the feeding section and a small lead screw in the extrusion section), the pressure change curve of the raw material in the extrusion chamber can be precisely controlled. For example, in the production of high-protein prescription cat food, the high viscosity of the raw material can easily lead to a concentrated increase in pressure. Using a combination of "large lead in the feeding section + gradual lead in the extrusion section" allows the pressure to rise smoothly from 2MPa in the feeding section to 4MPa in the extrusion section, avoiding excessive protein denaturation caused by sudden pressure changes and preserving the active nutrients in the raw material. This method requires designing a screw lead combination scheme based on the characteristics of the raw material, achieving high adjustment precision, but it demands high technical expertise and requires operation by professional technicians.

Raw material pretreatment synergistic adjustment is an auxiliary means for precise pressure control in Floating Fish Feed Pellet Extruder machines, reducing pressure fluctuations from the source. Before producing high-quality pet food, the raw materials undergo meticulous processing: they are pulverized to 100-120 mesh to ensure uniform particle size and prevent variations in extrusion resistance due to particle size differences; the moisture content of the raw materials is precisely controlled to 13-14% (±0.5%), monitored in real time using a moisture meter to prevent moisture fluctuations from affecting the flowability of the raw materials. Proper pre-processing of raw materials reduces the difficulty of pressure adjustment, and combined with intelligent feedback adjustment methods, further improves pressure control accuracy. For example, in the production of premium puppy food, after meticulous pre-processing, pressure fluctuations are reduced from ±0.3MPa to ±0.1MPa, the pellet formation rate increases to over 98%, and the palatability and nutritional uniformity are significantly improved.
