Design Modification And Performance Evaluation Of Fish Feed Pelletizing Machine: Maduka Kingsley N.
ABSTRACT
Owing to the current shift to
Agriculture in Nigeria, alot of interest have been drawn to griculture
particularly livestock production. Creating an increase in demand for pelleting
nachine. In the pa st few decades, a lot of researchers have put up researches
on how to :ustomize a local pelletizer that won't just be affordable but also
highly efficient. This work is eared towards design modification of a pelleting
machine by integrating the different units as mne as well as attaching a drying
unit to the machine to ensure a complete fish feed production rocess from
scratch (beginning) to end(drying). To accomplish this, a metal tray roller was
itted in the dryer to serve as a conveyor from point of pelleting droplet to
the point of drying. At he end, various performance test was carried out on the
machine, they include the throughput iapacity which was determined as
16.99kg/hr, machine efficiency which yielded 86.1 %, noisture content removal
which gave 13%.and rate of heat transfer at varying distances using Comsol
Multiphysics. The optimal dryness relation was obtained at 13%, 80C. Therefore
this nachine is suitable for small and medium scale fish feed production.
