IFF Practical course "Pelleting of compound feed“ Germany

In the European Union, approx. 70 percent of the industrially produced compound feed is pelleted. Highest demands are put on quality. Conditioning, pressing and cooling require more than half of the energy necessary for the production of compound feed.

An essential evaluation criterion for the pellet quality is the abrasion stability but not every formulation leads directly to acceptable pellets. A multitude of influencing factors must be paid attention to, like e. g. physical and chemical material properties, application of increased liquid contents, conditioning, steam quality, parameters of pellet mills, cooling as well as stability of thermo-sensitive additives.

The rising energy costs require the utilisation of possible savings. So it is worthy to enlarge knowledge and competence in order to handle the pelleting process even better.

The course will be held in English language on May 31 and June 1, 2011 at Braunschweig-Thune, Germany.
