Overview
In Feed mill plant the main production is done by Feed processing unit. In feed
processing system there are main three stages. Loading ingredients , Mixing
and Milling ingredients , palletization feed. In this project is proposed to
develop the Mixing and Milling process to reduce the operating time and
increase the production rate with big electricity saving.
Presently General feed 1 Ton takes 25 minutes averagely to complete the
Milling and Mixing process. High feed 1 Ton also takes 25minutes to
complete the Milling and Mixing process.
After developing this system , the general feed production time can be reduced
to 15 minutes . The High feed production time can be reduced by 22 minutes.
This duct Line system can save 20.95% of present Electricity usage for Mixing
and Milling process. Pay back period of this project is 4 month with minimum
Feed production of 200 Tons.

1.1. Introduction
This project is proposed for the Feed Mill of Pelwatte Dairy Industries Ltd. The
duct line is designed to carry the maze powder from the milling machine to the
storage silo. Duct line should be connected between the end of Hammer mill
elevator and the start point of maze storage elevator. When the Maze milling
process is started, Maze flow through the elevators and mill the Maze with 3mm
cutting plate and store in Maze store.
Present feed production is milled with 3mm cutting plate and required 25min per
Ton. But the feed mix( Maze , rice and other) requires 5mm cutting plate can mill
within 8 min per Ton. If the Feed mix mill with 5mm cutting plate the final feed
includes big Maze particles which reduce the Feed quality. To overcome this
problems the duct line system is designed.
1.2. Aim
Increase the production rate and reduce production life time.
Capability to carry the maze powder from milling hammer to storage silo.
This design has only a hardware part. This hardware part includes duct line and a
damper. Duct line carries the maze powder and damper will switch the maze powder
flow direction between two duct lines in the junction of the 3 rd floor. The duct line
dampers are powered by compressed air. It is controlled by electro pneumatic valve
with a control panel.

3. Methodology
When using the duct line, the process steps are change by few steps. There is
a new activity added to the present process. That is Maze milling and store
In this method ,The first stage is milling Maze until fill the Maze storage silo
,To this firstly load the empty Yellow silo with Maze and change the cutting plate as
3mm cutting in hammer mill. Then the new duct line switch should be powered ON
to turn the flowing maze powder to the Maze flour storage(green silo Then Start the
hammer mill and crush maze, until them turn in to powder. Powder will store in the
Maze storage.
Then using designed duct line, powdered maze carries in to the maze storage
silo and store in it for the next mixing process.

5. Advantages and Final Design
After Designing two types of duct line we decide to choose the single
bend duct line system as our Final Design. It has ability to make good angle to
flow the Maze without stuck. And the design has low cost to develop.

7. Pay Back Period And Profits
In the feed plant there are two main types of Feeds are produced. They are
1. High Feed
2. General Feed
High feed is produced by 475kg Maze per Ton. General feed is produced by Maze
240kg per Ton. In whole feed production, the general feed is produced 65% and
High feed is produced 35%.Present operation the hammer mill uses the 3mm cutting
plate. It takes averagely 25 minutes to produce 1 Ton of feed. Hammer mill takes 30
minutes to mill 1 Ton of Maze. The requirement of feed production the feed mix
should mill with 5mm cutting plate. When the hammer mill uses 5mm cutting plate
without milling maze separately, then the feed contain big maze particles. That
reduce the milk production of Cow and the cow digesting system doesn’t happen
properly. Big Maze particles doesn’t rots properly. When the hammer mill uses
5mm cutting plate with milled Maze, it takes 8 min to produce 1Ton of feed.

Profit From Electricity Saving
= 20.95%
After adding duct line the cost of feed per monthly can be reduced by 20.95%.
