Improved Self-clearing of Poor Flow Powders in Large Silos
|
Achieving mass flow discharge, and preventing bridging and formation of rat holes, in large silos can be problematic when an existing silo is used to store new materials. |
Animal Feed Production
Process Control Raises Productivity and Profits
|
Every animal feed producer knows, the closer moisture content comes to the permitted threshold the more profitable production becomes. Maximum exploitation of this potential can be achieved by using on-line process analysers. Real time permanent process control assures that each batch precisely reaches the required moisture and protein value. |
