Fat is one of the most influential formulation variables affecting pellet durability. In feed manufacturing, fat addition improves dietary energy density, palatability, nutrient delivery, and pellet mill throughput, but excessive fat addition before pelleting often reduces pellet durability, pellet hardness, and resistance to handling damage. The negative effect is mainly caused by three mechanisms: first,…

Pellet breakage is one of the most common quality problems in feed pellet plants, biomass pellet plants, wood pellet plants, and other industrial pellet production systems. Even if pellets are well formed at the pellet mill outlet, they may become cracked, broken, dusty, or inconsistent after cooling, conveying, storage, bagging, and palletizing. For pellet manufacturers,…
