Description

PRE-FIELD DRYING AND MECHANICAL GRINDING OF ALMOND GREEN OUTER SHELL. ANIMAL FEED THROUGH THE WAY METHOD OF CONVERTING RAW MATERIAL INTO FLOUR TECHNICAL FIELD The invention involves transforming agricultural industrial by-products and waste into value-added products. transformation, biomass processing technologies for the livestock sector Alternative feed raw material in the form of highly digestible, stabilized flour. It is related to production processes. The invention specifically targets the fresh green outer shell that appears during almond harvesting. (exocarp / mesocarp) pre-drying at the source and then mechanical a method of grinding it into flour and converting it into an animal feed raw material It is related to. STATE OF THE ART In almond cultivation and harvesting, the fleshy part located on the hard shell... green outer shell (exocarp / mesocarp), from peeling (barking) machines After emerging, it has high water activity and high humidity. Known In technology, this byproduct is usually disposed of without being evaluated or It is given directly to the animals without any processing. The main problems encountered in applications of the known technology are listed below. It has been stated: Decay and mold formation: Fresh green rinds decompose within hours due to high humidity. It is exposed to fungal and mold growth, rapidly fermenting and causing environmental pollution. 35 1. It turns into waste that is created. Animal health risk (acidosis and diarrhea): Abundance of fresh husks during harvest time. Therefore, it can be highly fermentable if fed directly to animals. The sugar and moisture content disrupts the rumen (stomach) pH balance of animals; excessive 40 acidification (acidosis), digestive system disorders, loss of appetite, and diarrhea. This leads to... Logistics and storage challenge: Transporting fresh rinds with high moisture content is not economical. As there is no standard stabilization method, its storage and 45 It is not possible to use it in rations year-round. Therefore, a simple and low-cost way to source the green outer shell of almonds. By stabilizing it through the process, it can be used year-round, is homogeneous and can be stored. 50 A method is needed to transform it into feed raw material. THE PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION AND THE TECHNICAL PROBLEM SOLVED 55 The aim of the invention is to create a feed that overcomes the technical drawbacks mentioned above. The goal is to establish a production method using raw materials. The fundamental technique provided by the invention. The solutions and advantages are listed below: Sugar and moisture stability: 1 to 2 applied at the source at the farmer / producer level. 60 Daily pre-drying in the field removes free water from the fresh rind. The rapidly fermenting sugar structure is stabilized, thus preventing acidosis in animals. This eliminates the risk of diarrhea. Homogeneous ration creation: Mechanical analysis of the dried fibrous husk structure. 65 It is processed into flour by passing it through crushers / grinders, and the product is then used as feed. It allows for homogeneous mixing with raw materials (oilseed meal, alfalfa, grain, etc.) and the animal's It ensures that it is easily tolerated by the digestive system. Long shelf life and circular economy: Thanks to pre-drying and flouring processes. 70 2. The product gains resistance to mold; it can be stored for a long time in sacks and It is transformed into a commercially marketable feed raw material. Low investment cost: Pre-drying process does not require additional energy or drying facilities. The method is carried out in a free environment at the producer's site without requiring any special conditions. 75 This ensures that it can also be implemented by small-scale producers. ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE INVENTION 80 The method described in the invention consists of the following technical process steps: Step 1 - Obtaining the fresh green peel: 85 During the harvest season, peeling (barking) is done manually or with mechanical peeling machines. The fresh green outer shells, separated from the almond's hard outer shell using this method, are collected. Step 2 - Pre-site drying (moisture stabilization at the source): 90 The harvested fresh rinds are used to prevent spoilage and mold growth, and for their high sugar content. In order to eliminate the digestive risks arising from its concentration, in an open or semi-open environment at the producer's site for 1 to 2 days (24-48 hours) They are spread out and subjected to pre-drying. At the end of this step, the free water content of the shell is determined. 95 It decreases and the fermentable sugar structure stabilizes. Step 3 - Facility acceptance and foreign matter separation: 100 Semi-dried shells, after pre-drying, are accepted into the processing plant; stone, soil and similar foreign materials are separated by means of sieves and / or air separators. It is cleaned. 105 Step 3, Step 4 - Mechanical milling (grinding): The cleaned and pre-dried shells are then cut with industrial-grade blades or ball bearings. It is passed through crushing / grinding machines to form flour in a homogeneous powder / granular structure. is brought. 110 Step 5 - Packaging and storage: The resulting almond green husk flour is placed in moisture-proof sacks or packages. 115 filled and made ready for use and storage as animal feed raw material. is brought. METHOD OF IMPLEMENTING THE INVENTION 120 In one preferred application of the invention, fresh green leaves emerge from the peeling machine. The shells are laid in a thin layer on the concrete or tarpaulin on the same day. It is laid down. Keeping the laying thickness low increases air circulation, thus improving the front. shortens the drying time and prevents fermentation from occurring in the interior. 125 It prevents this. Pre-drying time is 24 hours, depending on ambient temperature and relative humidity. It is determined within a period of 48 hours. After pre-drying, the material is passed through sieve and air separator units. 130 It is purified from foreign matter and then fed into the crushing / grinding unit. The grinding process will ensure that the product mixes homogeneously with other feed components. This process continues until a fine flour-like consistency is achieved. 135 The resulting product is stored in moisture-proof packaging and used in animal rations. It can be used as an additive raw material year-round. Thus, it can be used in a short time during the harvest period. A byproduct that degrades and turns into waste over time can be value-added and commercialized. It is transformed into a feed raw material. 4
