Many pet dog food factories face this dilemma: when producing large breed dog food, the large pellets and high raw material consumption lead to insufficient raw material delivery, causing pellet mills to run out of material; while when producing small breed dog food, the small, fragile pellets result in frequent rework and consistently low production volumes. However, by identifying and optimizing these problems, production capacity can be effectively improved. Below are some specific optimization methods.

This is reflected in three aspects

First, optimize the raw material conveying system to avoid material shortages and waiting times. Dog food uses large quantities of raw materials (such as meat meal and cornmeal), especially when producing large breed dog food. Slow material conveying can cause the pellet mill to "go hungry." Optimization methods include: 1) replacing the ordinary conveyor belt with a widened conveyor belt, increasing the width from 50cm to 80cm, and raising the material conveying speed from 500 kg/hour to 800 kg/hour; 2) installing a vibrating feeder at the bottom of the raw material hopper to prevent material from clumping and blocking the hopper, ensuring stable material delivery. After optimization, one feed mill reduced the pellet mill's waiting time from 1.5 hours to 30 minutes per day, increasing daily output by 1 ton. Additionally, for easily dusty raw materials such as meat meal, using a closed-loop pipeline conveying system avoids dust pollution while maintaining conveying speed—a win-win situation.

Second, optimize the pellet mill parameters to improve pellet forming efficiency. Different stages of dog food production (soft pellets for puppies, hard pellets for adult dogs) have different requirements for pellet mill pressure and temperature. Inappropriate parameters can lead to slow pellet formation and excessive breakage. Optimization methods include: First, equipping the pellet mill with an "intelligent parameter control system" that allows pre-input of optimal parameters for different formulas (e.g., 1.5MPa pressure and 80℃ temperature for puppy food, and 2.0MPa pressure and 90℃ temperature for adult dog food). This allows for one-click adjustment when switching formulas, eliminating the need for manual parameter testing. Second, replacing the pellet mill's pressure rollers with "anti-slip rollers" increases friction between the rollers and the raw materials, allowing the materials to enter the die holes faster, increasing pelleting speed by 20%. After optimization, one feed mill saw its hourly pellet mill output increase from 600 kg to 720 kg, and the breakage rate decrease from 8% to 4%, significantly improving production capacity.

Finally, strengthening "daily equipment maintenance" reduces downtime due to malfunctions. Frequent breakdowns in production line equipment (such as crushers and mixers) can severely impact production capacity. Optimization methods include: First, developing an "equipment maintenance plan," such as cleaning the blades of a crusher every 8 hours of operation and checking the bearings of a mixer every 12 hours of operation to detect problems early; second, installing "fault warning devices" on key equipment, such as automatic alarms when the motor temperature is too high to prevent motor burnout and prolonged downtime. After strengthening maintenance, a feed mill reduced equipment downtime from 10 hours per month to 3 hours, increasing monthly output by 3 tons.
