PRODUCTION OF ANIMAL FEED FOR POULTRY

KB1PC01300DD

The Challenge

For a manufacturer in the poultry feed sector, we engineered a ploughshare mixer capable of homogenising various types of seeds and additives.

The unit was designed for heavy-duty use, with the primary objective of delivering a highly homogenised product within extremely rapid cycle times.

The critical factors of this application include high abrasive wear (as the feed formulas are rich in hard minerals), intensive continuous production, and medium-to-high formulation complexity. Additionally, a dual discharge system is required to direct the batch content to two different packaging streams (either big-bags or 20 kg bags).

The MC² Solution
