Introduction of liquid components

Liquid components increase the caloric content, metabolic energy and nutritional value of compound feeds. Molasses, animal fat and vegetable oil are the most widely used in the feed industry. The use of compound feeds enriched with liquid components is the basis for increasing the productivity of animals and poultry. Such physical parameters of a liquid as viscosity are the main parameter determining technology, equipment and automation tools. It depends on the temperature and has a significant impact on the spraying technology, dosing accuracy and mixing quality.

Raw material

• Vegetable oil
• Fat
• Molasses
• Vitamins
• Enzymes
• Medicinal products

Molasses Mixer

Purpose: continuous mixing systems are used for mixing liquids, which, depending on performance, are divided into single, double and triple. Molasses mixers allow you to mix up to 7% molasses and create a homogeneous product without sticking and clumping. These installations are optimally suited for industries where intensity and short exposure times are required.

The principle of operation: A continuous mixer requires an accurate feed rate of dry product and molasses. Heating molasses before entering the mixer contributes to its uniform distribution in the feed.

Cascade installation for spraying liquid components onto a pellet is designed for spraying fats onto feed pellets.

Continuous granule spraying installation is intended for introducing liquid components onto finished granules. The installation ensures the introduction of fats and soluble additives (enzymes and probiotics) into cold feed pellets.

The dosing device for adding liquid components consists of:

• Pumping device;
• Heated liquid tank, material of manufacture – stainless or carbon steel;
• Electric tank heating system (if necessary);
• Metering pump;
• A set of injection nozzles, pipes, fittings and valves.

Molasses Mixer

• The speed in the mixing chambers is 380 rpm.
• The mixing blades are adjustable to vary the holding time and intensity.
• Cylindrical body with large hinged doors for cleaning the mixer.

The molasses mixer is designed in accordance with safety requirements.

Spraying increases the energy value of the feed and contributes to its better assimilation. Therefore, this process plays an increasingly important role in the efficient production of animal feed. Important advantages of liquid spraying compared to fat dosing on the matrix:

• more accurate dosing and more even distribution of fat in the feed;
• there is no contamination in the granulator;
• the process becomes much simpler and cleaner.

Features of execution

• It allows spraying up to 2.5% of liquid on cold and hot granules;
• The maximum permissible viscosity of the liquid is 50 sP;
• The cascade installation is mounted between the granulator and the cooler or directly in front of the bulk shipment section, i.e. it is applied after granulation;
• The heating turns on when the air conditioner is started. This reduces evaporation;
• Spraying of the liquid begins with an increase in the load of the granulator;
• The spray installation is available in an explosive environment version.

The spraying process is playing an increasingly important role in the efficient production of animal feed, allowing:

• increase the energy value of granules due to a higher percentage of liquid components;
• introduce temperature-sensitive components;
• maintain the benefits of granules while also preventing their breakdown and reducing dust generation.

Peculiarities

• Accurate dosing and uniform distribution in the feed;
• Simultaneous injection of liquid and grain;
• Suitable for injecting up to 5% fat;
• Dosing of enzymes;
• Allows a total of up to 4 fluids to be administered;
• Grain input up to 20%;
• Allows spraying up to 5% on cold granules;
• The maximum permissible viscosity of the liquid is 25 cP;
• Heating does not allow fat to thicken, which prevents contamination and clogging of the pipeline or further technological equipment.

Molasses Mixer

• Wear-resistant mixing blades;
• The construction of the mixer body is made of stainless steel.

Cascade installation for spraying liquid components onto a pellet

• The structure is completely made of stainless steel;
• It is installed directly under the granulator or, in the case of its use after granulation, under the dosing screw;
