Continuous Production and Advanced Counter-Flow Technology

The secret to quality in formulated feed production lies in extracting the heat and moisture from the core of the pellets gradually, without inducing thermal shock. The Double Deck Cooler operates on the globally recognized counter-flow principle. Cool air drawn from the bottom filters through the pellet beds on both decks and moves upwards.

The greatest advantage of this system is that while the product on the lower deck is being cooled and discharged, the upper deck continues to accumulate the new ration. As a result, the pellet mill never stops, and the production line runs continuously. The pneumatically and hydraulically controlled grate discharge system, developed by Atlas Yem engineering, gently evacuates the pellets without breaking them or creating dust fines. Thanks to the superior airlock design, the vacuum power in the system remains constant at all times. Preventing thermal shocks and enabling you to reach high PDI (Pellet Durability Index) values, this unit represents the digitized face of smart factories with its PLC-based intelligent automation.

Key Technical Advantages and Industry Variations

Zero Contamination: Complete prevention of product mixing thanks to the independent operation of the upper and lower decks.
Seamless Changeover: Flexible dual-hopper structure that eliminates the need to stop the pellet press during ration (recipe) changes.
Maximum Space Saving: Efficient use of factory floor space with a vertical architecture in a single body, rather than using two separate coolers.
PDI Protection: Homogeneous air distribution and vibration-free grate discharge system that prevents pellet micro-cracks.
Industry Variations: Double deck pellet cooler, two-tier counter-flow unit, multi-recipe cooling hopper, dual-layer feed cooler.
