Machines and components for the production of animal feed

Probst & Class develop and manufacture machines and components for the production of animal feed.

Every end product needs its own bespoke machine configuration.

Our strategy for perfect customisation: puclab.

puclab – Pilot

Make an appointment for preliminary tests in our pilot plant.

We give you and your product as much time as needed. Together with your technicians/engineers, we determine the best possible configuration for your new PUC machine in our test lab and plan its integration into your process.

puclab – On-Site

Test a PUC mill in your plant or laboratory.

Talk to our technical support to define the requirements for your process and product. We then provide you with a suitable machine, free of charge, and offer support for your in-house trials.

puclab – Remote

Send us your raw materials for testing.

Based on your specifications and materials, we determine the best machine configuration for your end product in our technical centre. Using different grinder sets and settings, we can calculate within a few hours how your new PUC mill needs to be configured, without charge.

Typical raw materials for the production of animal feed

  • Grains: Wheat, corn, barley, oats and rice
  • Meat
  • Fish
  • Plant proteins: Soy protein, pea protein, canola protein, or lupine protein
  • Fats and oils
  • Vitamins and minerals
  • Fillers: Beet pulp, silage, or rice bran

Applications of PUC machines in the production of animal feed

Precrushing: PUC perforated disc mills are used to precrush coarser ingredients to the millimetre range. This step simplifies the work of the colloid mill and allows for increased throughput.

Crushing and grinding: Colloid mills are used to crush and grind ingredients to achieve a finer texture or improve the mixability of the ingredients.

Emulsifying: Colloid mills can be used to emulsify fats and oils into aqueous solutions.

Homogenising the feed mixture: Colloid mills are used to make the feed mixture homogeneous and uniform, preventing undesirable clumping.

Processing additives: Colloid mills can also be used for crushing and grinding additives such as vitamins or minerals to achieve better distribution and integration into the animal feed.

Machines from Probst & Class are used in various processing steps in animal feed production.

Probst & Class as a supplier to the food industry

Probst & Class mills are "state-of-the-art" machines that have been used in food processing for 80 years. Using a PUC, both small companies and large industrial enterprises produce animal feed of consistently highest quality. The high manufacturing quality of PUC machines usually ensures a service life of several decades. The supply of spare and wear parts, even for very early models, guarantees a secure investment and low total cost of ownership.

Find your ideal machine, reliably and quickly

In the almost 100-year history of Probst & Class, there is one constant: Practically every end product needs its own individual machine configuration!

Two special features of Probst & Class guarantee the highest satisfaction and loyalty of our customers: The simple convertibility of our machines and our approach to customisation.

What has been part of our success for decades is now a strategy. We call this strategy puclab.

puclab is more than a development lab

  • System consulting: Holistic concepts for the construction of new systems and the conversion of systems to other products
  • Outsourced R&D for our customers' wet grinding, mixing and degassing processes
  • Preliminary trials to help decide on the optimal process
  • Further development of processes in case of changed specifications
  • Application database with test set-ups, test results and videos
