Single and Twin Shaft Conditioner
The conditioner prepares raw materials before pelleting or extrusion. Using steam, water and, in some applications, other liquid additives, it adjusts the moisture and temperature of the material. Conditioners are used in livestock, poultry and aquatic feed lines to improve processing conditions and final product quality.
Features
- Can be built in single shaft and twin shaft models.
- Steam can be injected and distributed evenly.
- Material retention time adjustable.
- Fitted with adjustable paddles.
- Temperature and moisture of the discharged material can be controlled.
- A water and liquid injection system can be installed.
- Design resistant to high temperature and humidity.
- Shaft rotation speed adjustable.
Applications
- Preparing material before pelleting livestock and poultry feed
- Preparing aquatic feed before extrusion
- Improving starch gelatinization conditions
- Increasing the formability of the material
- Improving the hygiene of the process through suitable steam application

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between single shaft and twin shaft conditioners?
The single shaft model has a simpler structure; the twin shaft model creates cross flows and more intense mixing, allowing better control of the conditioning process.
Is steam necessary in a conditioner?
In many pelleting lines steam is used to raise temperature, adjust moisture and improve pelleting conditions, but its type and amount depend on the formulation.
How long does material stay in the conditioner?
Retention time is set according to the product, machine design and process conditions, and usually ranges from a few seconds to a few minutes.
