The Pelleting Process
The pelleting process starts with a bin (Figure 1, Item 1) in which the mixture of mash is stored. From there, the mash will flow by gravity into the pellet mill (Figure 1, Item 2). This machine is usually located on the ground or main work floor level. The hot, extruded mash (pellets) flows by gravity into a cooler (Figure
