Machines and components for the production of animal feed

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.
