Dosing

by Marco Prati, PLP Liquid Systems, Italy

The use of liquids in feed mills must be implemented using innovation, precision and cost effectiveness whilst maintaining traceability throughout every stage of the application and avoiding cross contamination.


Liquids are a fundamental ingredient and effect the success of the quality of the finished product. Nutrition involves chemical reactions and physiological processes, which transform food into body tissues and energy.
 


For many years, the addition of liquids for the feed industry was considered as a second matter and not an important way of making good feed. Molasses and fats were introduced into the mixer just through a pipe. The distribution into the feed was poor, creating problems inside the mixer on pelletising and finally, because of a bad homogeneity, the feed did not perform well for animals.

Today, animal feed industries use a large quantity of different types of liquids. Feed production requires more advanced and technological systems. PLP Systems can offer different solutions for the handling of the liquids, but what are the main stages that are fundamental for a good finished product?

First is certainly how the liquids are introduced into the mixer.

Perfect dosage, homogeneity and spraying of the liquids 
With our DOSAMIX systems, all the liquids are dosed by accurate weighing scales and the premix of the liquids is handled by the homogeniser machine which creates a homogenous solution even when combining together both water and oil-based products.

The spraying, by the Smog Atomiser, guarantees small droplets and a perfect distribution into the mixer.

Our solution allows the introduction of all the liquids (fats, oil, molasses, lecithin, creams, acids, amino acids, solvents, and with different viscosity) in the mixer, as if they were a single liquid achieving a huge amount of benefits.

These advantages include an excellent homogenisation, a perfect distribution of liquids inside the mash during the mixing phase and reduction of lumps and particles, The “Coefficient of Variation” (CV) improves, together with the quality of the final product.
