The invention discloses an apparatus and method for preparing high-energy
fiber forage grass through the
steam explosion technology, and belongs to the technical field of
straw utilization. The methodcomprises the following steps: first crushing straws and removing impurities, then filling crushed straws into a
steam explosion tank, introducing saturated steam, maintaining a certain pressure fora certain period of time, then exploding out the straws to produce high-energy
fiber forage grass, and then adding other beneficial special microorganisms and auxiliary materials to produce compositehigh-energy
fiber forage grass. The
steam explosion apparatus comprises the steam explosion tank, wherein a hydraulic oil cylinder is connected with a triangular cone through a steel
wire rope, the triangular cone can move up and down and can close a material inlet when moving to the highest position, a material outlet is equipped with a pneumatic hard seal hemisphere valve, and a steam inlet, a
pressure detection instrument, a temperature detection instrument, a
safety valve and the like are additionally arranged. The straws are disinfected and sterilized in the steam explosion tank, the
pesticide residual
toxicity is decomposed, and
lignin and
cellulose are softened and partially degraded; and a pressure is suddenly relieved, so that the whole structure of the straws is torn and loosened, the absorption and
digestion of cattle and sheep are facilitated, and therefore the digestibility and nutritional value of
straw feed are improved. The apparatus and method have the advantages of being simple in technological process, simple in apparatus structure, low in cost, high in
economic benefits, and easy to industrialize.
