Particle Size & Granulometry

요약

Particle size distribution governs mixing homogeneity, pellet quality, digestive efficiency and segregation risk, and is specified as a geometric mean diameter with a distribution, not a single sieve figure.

측정 방법: Geometric mean diameter (µm) and standard deviation by sieve analysis (ASAE S319) or laser diffraction

Homogeneity depends on matching particle sizes

A micro ingredient will not stay evenly distributed in a mash whose particle size is very different from its own. Segregation during conveying and storage is a physical certainty, not a mixing failure, when granulometry is mismatched.

Fines are a cost and a safety issue

Excessive fines reduce pellet durability, increase dust and, in some ingredients, raise explosion and respiratory risk. Specifying a maximum fines fraction is as important as specifying the mean diameter.

일반적인 산업 기준값

Broiler mash cereals700–900 µm
Swine diets500–700 µmFiner improves digestibility, raises ulcer risk
Shrimp feed raw materials< 250 µmWater stability and ingestion size
Micro ingredients / carriers100–500 µmMust match the carrier for homogeneity

Indicative industry reference values for orientation only — always contract against the delivered lot.

확인 사항

  • Geometric mean diameter and standard deviation, not a single sieve pass rate
  • Maximum fines fraction
  • Sampling point — particle size changes with handling

주요 리스크

  • Segregation of micro ingredients
  • Pellet durability loss
  • Dust generation and handling losses

흔한 실수

  • Specifying only 'passes X mm sieve'
  • Ignoring that pneumatic conveying and repeated handling reduce particle size

자주 묻는 질문

Is finer always better?

No. Finer particles improve digestibility up to a point, then increase gastric ulceration risk in swine, worsen flow, raise dust and increase grinding energy. The optimum is species-, form- and equipment-specific.
