Process of Mixture to Produce Animal Feed
Plant Name: Feed Mill
Industry: Food & Beverage
Customer’s Product: Animal Feed
Application
The process consists of mixing meats, oils, and water to create a finished product, animal feed, using a PLC-based automation system.
Challenges
To ensure the proper animal feed mixture, the customer was using a scale to weigh the vegetable oil and water that was being combined with the meat parts. The goal was to increase productivity by reducing the loading time.
Solution
The ROTAMASS TI Coriolis flowmeter is used to measure the mass of the incoming vegetable oil while an ADMAG TI-AXG magnetic flowmeter measures the incoming water volume. An additional ROTAMASS TI ensures the correct concentration of the vegetable oil/water mixture before the meat product is added.
