2. Benefits
l
A 100% guarantee that the mixture, right from the
first gram, undergoes the desired thermal treatment
in order to combat bacteria, such as salmonella.
l
Guaranteed first-in/ first-out of the mixture in the
retention time barrel.
l
Bypass system, for non-thermally treated mixtures
at start of production or at emergency stop, is no
longer required.
l
Lower energy consumption of the pellet mill due to
higher temperature of the mixture, generated by
relatively inexpensive, dry steam.
l
Up to 15% increase of pelleting capacity, due to
higher temperature and improved absorption of
steam.
l
Easy to clean.
l
Longer maintenance intervals.
l
Simple design.
A closed, insulated and heated mixing chamber
(TCS) in which a mixture is heated with dry steam by
a shaft rotating in two directions.
Two PT 100 temperature sensors register the preset
temperature after which a rotating disc is opened.
The mixture is discharged into the Retention Time Barrel
(RTB) where it remains during a preset length of time
(2-4 min.). By means of an equalizing device the mixture
is continuously fed into the pellet mill.
