The EGK-30 grain extruder is a modern solution for farms and agricultural enterprises specializing in livestock and poultry production. The equipment is developed and manufactured by the Ukrainian company TehnoMashStroy, which holds «UkrSEPRO» and European «CE» conformity certificates and has implemented the ISO 9001 quality management system.
Operating principle and advantages of the extruder
The device converts grain into a foamed air mass in the form of small sticks using unique thermomechanical processing technology. The working process takes place in two chambers:
- Loading chamber — where preliminary crushing of raw materials occurs;
- Pressing chamber — where raw materials undergo thermal treatment at 160–180 °C under high pressure, then pass through calibrated die openings.
Upon exiting the extruder, the grain experiences a sudden pressure drop (hydraulic shock), foams, and increases in volume several times. This feed structure improves digestibility: animals become satiated faster with less feed, and energy is directed toward body mass gain and increased milk yields.
Key functional capabilities
- Feed disinfection — high temperature destroys pathogenic microflora, fungi, and disease-causing bacteria, which is especially important for young animals and chicks;
- Improved digestibility — under pressure and temperature, complex starches break down into simple carbohydrates and sugars, while vitamins and beneficial substances are preserved;
- Contaminant protection — the extruder is equipped with a magnetic trap to remove metal particles from feed raw materials.

Expansion and modernization options
To increase productivity and automate the process, the manufacturer offers the following options:
- Enlarged storage hopper — for continuous raw material supply;
- Screw conveyor — automatic grain loading from bags or hoppers;
- Additional dies — to change the diameter and shape of extruded sticks;
- Forced ventilation system — for motor cooling during prolonged continuous operation;
- Control panel with overload protection — for stable electric motor operation.
The EGK-30 grain extruder is reliable, compact, and energy-efficient equipment designed for Ukrainian realities. It is ideal for small and medium-sized farms seeking to improve feed quality and reduce livestock fattening costs.
