NuTech Biosciences, Inc., founded in 2010, manufactures nutritional supplements for the animal feed industry. “Most are chelated minerals such as iron and copper,” explains company president and founder PV Reddy, DVM, PhD.
“Chelating is a process whereby organic materials such as amino acids react with minerals to produce compounds that make the minerals more easily absorbed by the animals.”
Other products provide different nutrients, individually or in combination, for specific uses, such as supporting nutrition in pregnant dairy cows during the last weeks before calving.
The NuTech product line includes Direct-to-Consumer supplements that farmers can add to livestock feed, as well as compounds prepared especially for commercial feed manufacturers.
Improving its mixing operation enabled the company to double production. "We purchased a Rotary Batch Mixer from Munson in 2014 to increase production capacity," he says.
"Although the mixer has a three-tonne capacity, we typically mix about 1.8 tonnes at a time. Daily throughput is about 13.6 tonnes," Dr Reddy says, "and 272 to 363 tonnes per month, depending on demand for product."
A previous one-tonne drum mixer processed about nine tonnes per day and 181 tonnes per month. Dr Reddy says it is still in use for mixing smaller batches of product.
Concentrated ingredients blended with carrier
The company specified a model 700-TH-140-MS which has a useable batch capacity of 4 m3 (4000 l).
Dr Reddy says. “We manufacture concentrated products. Once we produce the concentrated product, we blend it down to the percentages we want in the Munson mixer.”
Most often, the concentrated product is mixed with a carrier, such as bran. The product concentrate typically makes up 60 to 80 percent by volume of the product-carrier mixture, he explains.
NuTech produces diverse combinations, from a single component mixed with bran to blends of multiple product components. Mixtures may be wet or dry.
