Fluidised Bed Mixing Animal feed producer ups uniformity, cuts cycle times with fluidised bed mixing

摘要

Country Junction Feeds has produced animal feed products in Alberta, Canada for over 100 years. Today it offers a full line of organic wet and dry feeds for cattle, hogs, poultry, horses, bison, elk, goats and sheep. To improve batch consistency and prevent damage when adding liquids to fragile ingredients, the company installed a fluidised-bed type mixer on its "wet feed" production line.Dry feed in raw or pelletised form is typically pre-blended in a 2000kg capacity mixer. The wet blending process adds oils and/or molasses to rolled oats, barley, pellets and "bull ration" calf feed for nutrition and palatability as well as dust control.
