Perfecting dryer design for flawless air flow
Perfecting dryer design for flawless air flow
One cannot do much about the moisture content of grains in the field, but it is possible to influence the cost of drying these grains after harvest. Clever engineering can perfect the drying process for optimum results.
Magical mystery tour of Dutch equipment makers
Magical mystery tour of Dutch equipment makers
The outcome is not yet clear, but this plant will be ready when the market asks for tailor-made products. Multi-flexibility is the key word for Jan Janssen of Dutch feed compounder SaWeCo and initiator of a unique cooperation between feed mill equipment manufacturers.
Changing markets require flexible dryer design
Changing markets require flexible dryer design
With increasing use of extruded products in aquaculture, cooling of the pellets is not enough to bring the moisture content down to the desired level. Dryers are becoming more and more popular. Paul Douglas from Aeroglide emphasises that dryer design is of major importance in establishing an energy efficient drying process.
Cooling hot pellets critical to quality feed production
Cooling hot pellets critical to quality feed production
Compound feed is often pelleted or otherwise heat treated to form or sanitise the feed. The hot product cannot be stored immediately and needs to be cooled first. This process is more or less taken for granted, but is still an important part of feed processing.
Cooling of extruded dry pet foods
Cooling of extruded dry pet foods
One of the critical processing steps in the production of extruded dry pet food is cooling. The cooling step is required after the drying and liquid-coating processes to remove excess heat. If not enough heat is removed, condensation can occur in the product storage bins or in the product package.
Automatic moisture control for perfect petfood
Automatic moisture control for perfect petfood

The strict quality control standards imposed on extruded petfoods means that a precise and continuous drying process should be applied, to achieve low moisture, long shelf life products. Flavoured coatings are also commonly applied after extrusion, so an extra drying step and cooling should be added.

 
Wenger produces its 600th preconditioner
Wenger produces its 600th preconditioner

Wenger Manufacturing recently announced the production of the 600th DDC (Differential Diameter Cylinder) Preconditioner to come off the Wenger assembly line since the product was patented and introduced in 1987.

Off-the-shelf output transforms into tailor-made production
Off-the-shelf output transforms into tailor-made production

Three major developments can be distinguished when discussing developments in animal feed manufacturing during the past decade: innovation and cost control, consumers playing a leading role and safety beyond all doubt. In this article, especially written for the 10 year anniversary of Feed Tech, Harm Klein of Tebodin CCE elaborates on these events and how they have affected compound feed manufacturing.

Spray-dried milk products in piglet feeding
Spray-dried milk products in piglet feeding

Spray-drying is a beneficial technological treatment to improve the utilisation of homogenised mixtures of mi lk products and vegetable oi ls as high quality feed ingredients for weaned pigs. This is the conclusion of Schothorst Feed Research in the Netherlands after a series of experiments. Sara Llamas-Moya and Jan Fledderus present the results.
