In modern animal husbandry production, feed mills are widely used in farms, breeding farms and feed processing plants as key auxiliary equipment. Its main function is to crush crop waste, grains and other feed raw materials into smaller particles or powders to improve the digestion and absorption efficiency of animals. However, feed mills will generate a lot of dust during the crushing process, which not only pollutes the environment, but also may endanger the respiratory health of operators. Therefore, it is particularly important to explore whether feed mills need to be equipped with dust removal equipment.
In the process of crushing materials, feed mills will break the materials into fine particles and powders due to mechanical force. These tiny particles will be thrown out during the operation of the equipment to form dust. Specifically, hammer mills use high-speed rotating hammers to hit the materials to crush them; while roller mills use two relatively rotating rollers to squeeze and shear the materials. These mechanical actions will cause dust to be generated. In addition, the dryness of the material itself is also an important factor affecting the amount of dust generated. The drier the material, the more dust it generates when it is crushed, and vice versa.
Environmental pollution: If the large amount of dust generated by the feed grinder is not controlled, it will spread into the air and cause air pollution. These dusts will not only affect the air quality of the factory area and its surrounding environment, but may also be spread to a longer distance by wind and affect a wider area. In addition, dust deposited on the ground and buildings will also have an adverse effect on the beauty and hygiene of the environment. Long-term accumulation of dust may also cause soil deterioration and affect plant growth.
Human health: The harm of dust to human health is mainly reflected in the respiratory system. Long-term inhalation of air containing feed dust will damage the respiratory system of the operator and cause respiratory diseases such as coughing and asthma. Especially in a closed or semi-closed working environment, the dust concentration is high, which poses a greater threat to human health. In addition, some feed raw materials may contain microorganisms or harmful substances, which may cause allergic reactions or other health problems after entering the human body with dust.
Environmental protection: Equipping dust removal equipment is an important means to reduce the environmental pollution of feed grinders. By installing efficient dust removal devices, such as bag dust collectors, cartridge dust collectors, etc., the dust generated during the crushing process can be effectively collected and processed to prevent it from spreading into the air. This not only helps to protect the air quality of the plant and its surrounding environment, but also avoids soil deterioration caused by dust deposition. In the long run, the use of dust removal equipment meets the requirements of sustainable development and is conducive to the green development and ecological protection of enterprises.
Protecting employee health: The installation of dust removal equipment is essential to protecting the health of operators. Through effective dust removal measures, the dust concentration in the workplace can be greatly reduced, and the chance of operators inhaling dust can be reduced, thereby reducing the incidence of occupational diseases. In addition, some advanced dust removal equipment is also equipped with an automatic cleaning function, which can regularly clean the dust collector, maintain the efficient operation of the equipment, and further improve the quality of the working environment.
Improve production efficiency: Although the initial investment in dust removal equipment will increase the cost of the enterprise, in the long run, it will help improve production efficiency. First, a clean and tidy working environment can improve the work enthusiasm and satisfaction of employees and reduce absenteeism caused by health problems. Secondly, dust removal equipment can reduce the occurrence of equipment failures. Feed dust contains a certain amount of moisture and grease. If it accumulates inside the equipment for a long time, it may cause problems such as rust and wear of parts, affecting the normal operation of the equipment. The dust removal equipment can effectively remove these impurities and extend the service life of the equipment. Finally, some dust removal equipment also has a material recovery function, which can reuse the collected dust, reduce waste, and improve resource utilization.
Comply with regulatory requirements: Many countries and regions have put forward strict regulatory requirements for environmental protection and occupational health in industrial production. In these regulations, the standards and restrictions on dust emissions during the production process are usually clearly stipulated. For example, laws and regulations such as the "Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law" and the "Occupational Disease Prevention and Control Law" have made specific provisions on the environmental protection and occupational health responsibilities of enterprises. The company's dust removal equipment is not only a compliance with regulations, but also a manifestation of social responsibility. By taking effective environmental protection measures, enterprises can establish a good social image and enhance public trust. At the same time, this also helps companies gain an advantageous position in market competition, because more and more customers are beginning to pay attention to suppliers' environmental performance and social responsibility fulfillment.
According to the characteristics of dust generated by feed mills, the following dust removal equipment can be selected:
Bag dust collector: suitable for capturing dry, non-fibrous dust. Its working principle is to separate dust from gas through filter bags. Bag dust collector has the advantages of simple structure, convenient maintenance, and wide application range, which can meet the dust removal needs of most feed mills.
Cartridge dust collector: made of non-woven fabrics, glass fiber and other materials, with high filtration accuracy, small size, and easy installation. Cartridge dust collector is particularly suitable for occasions with limited space and high requirements for dust removal efficiency.
Wet dust collector: captures dust particles by mixing water or other liquids with dust-containing gas. Wet dust collector has a good effect on handling dust with high humidity and can reduce secondary dust problems. However, it consumes a lot of water and needs to be equipped with water treatment facilities.
When selecting dust removal equipment, the following factors need to be considered:
Processing air volume: Determine the processing air volume of the dust removal equipment according to the specifications and output of the feed mill. Too small a processing air volume may lead to poor dust removal effect; too large a processing air volume will increase energy consumption and cost. Therefore, it is crucial to reasonably select the processing air volume to ensure dust removal efficiency.
Filtering accuracy: Select the appropriate filtering accuracy according to the particle size distribution of feed dust. Generally speaking, the smaller the particle size, the more difficult it is to capture dust, so a higher filtering accuracy is required. At the same time, the filtering accuracy will also affect the resistance loss and energy consumption level of the equipment.
Equipment material: Considering that feed dust may have certain corrosiveness or high humidity, materials with good corrosion resistance, waterproof and oil resistance should be selected to make dust removal equipment. This can extend the service life of the equipment and reduce maintenance costs.
Automation: In order to improve production efficiency and convenience, dust removal equipment equipped with automatic dust cleaning, pressure difference control and other functions can be selected. These functions can automatically adjust the dust cleaning cycle and intensity according to the operating status of the equipment to ensure the stable operation of the equipment and efficient dust removal effect.
In summary, feed grinders will generate a lot of dust during the crushing process, which has potential hazards to the environment and human health. Therefore, in order to protect the environment, protect employee health, improve production efficiency and meet regulatory requirements, it is very necessary to equip feed grinders with dust removal equipment. By rationally selecting and configuring dust removal equipment, dust emissions can be effectively controlled, the quality of the working environment can be improved, and the sustainable development of the enterprise can be promoted.
As a feed equipment manufacturer, we are well aware of the potential harm to the environment and human health caused by dust generated by feed grinders during the grinding process. Therefore, we strongly recommend that customers consider equipping feed grinders with efficient dust removal equipment when purchasing them. This not only helps protect the environment and employee health, but also improves production efficiency, meets regulatory requirements, and achieves sustainable development of the enterprise.
