The Indian livestock and dairy industries are undergoing rapid modernization. With the government’s immense focus on increasing milk yields and enhancing livestock productivity, the demand for high-quality, nutritionally balanced feed has never been greater. However, Indian feed manufacturers face a distinct set of challenges: skyrocketing raw material and energy costs, the tricky handling of highly fibrous ruminant feed ingredients, and the continuous need for better pellet durability.
To help manufacturers navigate these challenges, Famsun introduces the KN Series Pellet Mills— a breakthrough engineered to redefine efficiency, durability, and pellet quality in the Indian market.
Built on a Decade of Pelletizing Excellence
For over a decade, Famsun’s K series pellet mills have set benchmarks globally, proving their mettle through intensive market testing and earning widespread industry recognition. Building upon this legacy of engineering excellence, Famsun developed the KN Series Pellet Mills specifically to meet a wider range of customer demands, with a laser-focused specialization in ruminant and fibrous feed production.
Designed to deliver ultra-stable production, exceptional pellet structural integrity, and prolonged spare part longevity, the KN series offers an impressive capacity range spanning from 6 to 40 TPH (Tons Per Hour). This makes it an ideal fit for both expanding mid-sized mills and large-scale industrial commercial feed plants across India.
Designed Around Real-World Feed Mill Requirements
Modern Indian feed millers require machinery that does more than just aggregate ingredients; they need systems that directly impact the bottom line. The KN Series is designed to address four critical customer pain points:
- Efficient Handling of Fibrous Material: Ruminant feed often uses bulky, low-bulk-density raw materials that are notoriously difficult to process smoothly.
- Reduced Energy Bills: With commercial electricity tariffs fluctuating across Indian states, lowering the cost per ton of electricity is paramount.
- Minimal Operational Downtime: Frequent maintenance and component wear disrupt supply chains and cut into profit margins.
- Stringent Safety Protocols: Ensuring a hazard-free work environment for plant operators with robust, fail-safe machinery.
Product Highlights
The Famsun KN Series integrates world-class manufacturing technologies with user-centric design features, establishing itself as a highly reliable asset for modern feed mills.
High Capacity, Low Energy Consumption
Globally Leading Consumption Levels: Keeps operating costs at an industry low:
- Ruminant Feed Energy Consumption: < 15 Kw . h/T
- Poultry Feed Energy Consumption: < 12 Kw . h/T
Optional Force Feeder: Specially engineered for easy, consistent feeding of low bulk density materials, avoiding blockages and maximizing throughput.
High Pellet Quality
Refined Pelleting Technology: Holistic improvements from the internal chamber structure and deflector angles to the roller feeding mechanisms ensure unmatched uniform pellet density.
Enhanced Power Delivery: Features 15% more power supply to the unit die area. This high power guarantees excellent compression ratios, resulting in durable pellets with a high Pellet Durability Index (PDI)—greatly minimizing fines during bagging and transit across Indian roads.
High Stability
Global Premium Supply Chain: Built using components from top-tier global suppliers such as SEW, SKF, ABB, and Honeywell, guaranteeing long-term electronic and mechanical reliability.
Precision Manufacturing: Produced using state-of-the-art heavy machinery to ensure high structural strength and unwavering stability under heavy loads.
High Safety and Usability
CE Standards Compliant: Safety is non-negotiable. The machinery features 10+ safety switches and sensors, ensuring all operation and maintenance procedures are up to strict international safety standards.
Smart & Ergonomic Labor Savings: Comes standard with efficient configurations like automatic lubrication and an electric die-lifting crane system to eliminate back-breaking manual labor. Smart Control System (Optional): Features a “push to start” function that automates the pelleting process and eliminates human operational errors.
Low Operating Cost
Extended Component Lifespan: Specially designed wear-resistant picks and deflectors mean fewer spare part replacements over time.
Hassle-Free Maintenance: Features a self-cleaning conditioner housing and rotor, minimizing residual feed buildup, preventing cross-contamination, and drastically reducing manual cleaning hours.
The KN Series is available in seven models, allowing feed manufacturers to select the configuration best suited to their production requirements.
