How Long Is the Service Life of a dry dog food making machine?

The differences in raw material characteristics have a significant impact. When processing soft, low-fiber raw materials (such as corn flour and soybean meal), the wear of parts in the dog food manufacturing machine is slower, and the lifespan can be maintained at 8-15 years. When processing hard raw materials (such as ore powder and shell powder), the wear rate of the ring die and pressure rollers accelerates, and the lifespan may be shortened to 4-6 years. When processing high-fiber raw materials (such as straw powder and brewer's grains), the material is prone to entanglement in the pressure rollers and blockage of the ring die, causing material jamming failures and increasing component friction, further shortening the lifespan. When processing high-meat raw materials in conjunction with a dog food extruder machine, if the raw material moisture content is too high (>14%), it will cause the material to stick to the pellet mill components. It is necessary to pre-dry the material at low temperature in an extruder to reduce the moisture content to below 12% to reduce sticking losses.

Key control of operating conditions. Uneven feeding speed will cause load fluctuations in the mini floating fish feed machine, impacting the transmission system and extrusion components. Prolonged uneven feeding will shorten its lifespan. An automated feeding device is needed to maintain a uniform feeding speed. Excessively high material temperature (>80℃) will accelerate seal aging and component thermal deformation. The floating feed extruder machine parameters need to be adjusted to control the discharge temperature between 60-80℃. Overloading the equipment (load exceeding the rated value by more than 10%) will severely damage the motor and gears. Real-time monitoring of load data and timely adjustment of the feed rate are necessary. Furthermore, inadequate raw material pretreatment (uneven particle size, excessive impurities) is a significant cause of component wear. Raw materials must be crushed to 80-100 mesh and screened to remove impurities such as metal and stones before being fed into the equipment.

Strategies for handling extreme operating conditions. Prolonged continuous operation (more than 12 hours per day) will subject the components of the floating feed making machine to high temperature and high pressure, potentially shortening its lifespan by 20%. Therefore, it is necessary to schedule operating times appropriately, with a 30-minute break every 6 hours to allow for cooling. In humid or dusty environments, moisture-proof and dust-removing devices should be installed to prevent the motor from getting damp and components from being worn down by dust. Lubrication frequency should also be increased to prevent dust from entering the lubrication system. When working in conjunction with an extruder to handle extreme conditions, the parameters of both should be adjusted synchronously to avoid overloading any single machine and to create a coordinated protection system.
