The patented pre-compacting technology, a unique alternative for double pelleting or expanding. The Boa Compactors have a double-walled mixing chamber in which steam and liquids are introduced and the mixture is compacted using an hydraulically operated compacting chamber.
The stainless-steel conditioners has large paddles whose height and angle can be adjusted to provide homogenous mixing and a hygienic process. The robust, low-maintenance machine can be combined with a feeder screw and steam set and contributes to an optimum absorption of steam and liquids.
Adding steam to the production process for animal feeds improves the compressibility (an increase in the press capacity of 20% is no exception) and the condition of the laying mash, among other things. Steam inactivates micro-organisms while the sensory properties (including aroma, taste and texture) of the product mix are retained.
A closed, insulated and heated mixing chamber, in which a mixture is heated with dry steam by a shaft which can rotate in two directions. Generously sized paddles, adjustable in both height and pitch, create a homogeneous mixture and a hygienic process. Two PT 100 temperature sensors register the preset temperature after which the electro-pneumatically controlled flap of the outlet is opened.
After the homogeneous mixing in of steam in a conditioner the product remains, during a preset length of time, in this heated and insulated retention time barrel. After the retention time barrel the product can be further treated in a pellet mill, extruder or meal cooler. The thermal treatment of the product results in an easier operation of the pellet mill, which simultaneously results in an improved pellet quality.
As many of you might know, the VIV-Europe/Victam International makes a welcome return at the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht. From May 31 to June 2, we will be exhibiting together with our sister companies from the Triott Group. We look forward to meeting you all in hall 1, booth 01.432.
Stay informed of the latest developments.
