Cubes: An interesting niche product

by Amandus Kahl GmbH, Germany

The market for petfood and horse feed has grown strongly in recent years and continues to rise. In this market segment, high margins can be achieved compared to fattening feed, which consists mainly of the same components. Petfood is, therefore, particularly attractive for feed manufacturers.

 

The German machine manufacturer Amandus Kahl produces pelleting presses with flat dies with different bores. These different bores ensure the production of large and small pellets in various shapes. Larger pellets for cattle, horses and goats are called "cubes" - a reference to their shape. With over 70 years of experience, Amandus Kahl is an expert in pellet production. Thanks to the horizontally arranged die, Kahl machines can produce a wide range of different pellet diameters and densities.

Facts about cubes and pellets from Amandus Kahl

Apart from the usual cylindrical feed pellets, cubes or pellets with other special sections are in high demand. On the one hand, such pellets facilitate feeding (no rolling), on the other hand, a supplier can thus visually stand out from his competitors. However, the production of these specially shaped pellets is a challenge. In particular, the production of the necessary dies is not possible with any type of machine.

The Kahl flat die pelleting press is particularly suitable for the production of cubes. The disk-shaped flat dies can be provided easily with the special hole cross-sections. As a result, the costs of the die are significantly reduced.
