actual equipment and has the added benefit of easily
highlighting its innovations, he said.
" If you show them in a smart way, it's even better
than just having a machine here, " Hilber said. " We can
show more details, we can dive into the machine and
show the benefits much easier and better. "
Bühler also was showcasing its PelletingPro digital
solution, which allows customers to optimize the entire
pelleting process. Customers can optimize the moisture
of the process, which has a huge impact on electric
consumption and can reduce the CO2
footprint.
" We collect data and then we summarize it, " he said.
said. " Based on that, we can give recommendations
on how the customer can improve the capacity, how
better to reduce energy consumption. We can consult
with the customer, and together we can further improve
the line. "
It's not only the machine that plays a role in sustainability,
he said.
" We have to think beyond the machine, " Hilber said.
" We are responsible for what we do and what we install.
Not only Bühler, but as a feed industry. "
Brabender, based in Duisburg, Germany, was highlighting
its ViscoQuick, which measures the rheological
properties of fluids, slurries and more. The compact
design has fully integrated heating and cooling and is a
standalone device.
" You don't need an external PC or water bath outside, "
said Adrian Jaspers, sales engineer Europe.
" Everything is integrated. "
With multiple pieces of equipment on display,
KAHL, Reinbek, Germany, saw a steady stream of visitors.
The company's newest innovation on display was
the crushing roller mill with individual drives.
" With this new roller mill we have the possibility
to drive the rollers individually so instead of having
a fixed ratio between the two rolls we can adapt the
range from 1 to 1 up to 1 to 2, " said Andreas Heierman,
KAHL area sales manager, France and Maghreb. " If
one roll is making one rotation, the second is making
one, up to two rotations. We get a bigger particle
size distribution. "
The machine allows for more specific adjustments
in crushing of individual components for feed production
so the right particle size can be made for every
animal age.
