The invention discloses a tempering method and device, which is characterized in that after the material processed by the pre-conditioned layer enters the quality-preserving layer, it is further mixed with steam in the quality-preserving layer for conditioning and quality-preserving, and the rotor of the quality-preserving layer runs forward and backward. The material flows back and forth in the quality-preserving fuselage to obtain sufficient heating and tempering time. Under the joint action of the heating and heat preservation system and steam, the temperature rises rapidly. After the temperature rises to the set value, the material is discharged downstream for granulation. The device includes pre-conditioning layer, preservation layer, pre-conditioning drive system, heating and heat preservation system, pre-conditioning rotor, pre-conditioning body, steam addition system, preservation drive system, preservation rotor, preservation body, material temperature sensor ,Temperature Sensor. The invention can reduce the discharge of the head material during the start-up process, simplify the layout of the production process, improve the utilization rate of raw materials and feed safety and sanitation, reduce the energy consumption of the granulator, and reduce the labor intensity of workers.
