The second article from the new issue of GFMT is online now. Check it out in full here.
Peter Hofer, production manager, UFA, Switzerland and Viktor Borner, segment sales manager, Bühler AG, Switzerland take us through the energy efficiency of feed mills.
UFA is Switzerland’s largest animal feed producer, with sites in Herzogenbuchsee (300,000 t/a), St. Margrethen (90,000 t/a), Sursee (85,000 t/a), and Puidoux (70,000 t/a). The finished product is marketed in the form of either expanded or pelleted feed. The average electrical energy requirement was cut within 10 years by about 4 percent, while thermal energy consumption was reduced by 10 kWh/t. And this was accomplished while increasing the upgrading degree from 60 percent to currently 100 percent. All feed produced in the UFA facilities is thermally hygienised.
