3. Each segment of the manufacturing
process affects product quality
Storage:- Dry ingredients and liquid
Particle reduction:-testing
Batching, Soaking, and Testing
Liquid handling
Mixing, Sampling and testing
Bagging and Storage
Bulk storage
Housekeeping
Maintenance
Safety
4. 1) Storage
Mark to prevent cross mixing
Clean out top to bottom
Seal between bins, check turnheads
Repair broken diverter gates
No water leaks
Practice yo-yoing
Fresh ingredients
Empty solids that settled
Keep manholes tight
Tests for strength and contamination
Good potency
5. 2)Particle reduction
•Purpose:-Mixing ingredients
Further processing
Digestion
Appearance
a. Remove foreign material
Use 2×2” grill
Heavy duty magnets remove most ferrous materials.
These magnets may be operated manually or automatically.
A second magnet at the roller mill or hammer mill is needed.
Damage to the rolls and hammer breakage affects quality and cost.
6. b. Hammer mill - The hammer pattern and position will affect the capacity
of the hammer mill and the quality of the ground products.
• Follow the equipment manufacturer's recommendations.
• Monitor hammer wear.
• Monitor screens for wear and holes.
• Screen hole size is very important throughout.
• Check rolls wear and damage.
• Recorrigation is necessary after wear.
• Keep quality grinds up to standard.
• Feeding roller mills and hammer mills is important operating and quality
job.
• A rotary pocket feeder works best automating the grinding system.
7. c. Air Relief/Assist System :-
Objectives:
1.Increased productivity per Kilowatt hour reduce operating costs
and increasing profits.
2.To keep the temperature of the product being ground 7°F or less
above ambient temperature.
3.Better housekeeping, less labor, less dust hence, reduce risk for fire
and explosion.
8. To ensure an effective system the following must be considered:
1. Ventilated grinding room
2. Air - 1800 RPM - 1.25 CFM per square inch of screen area
3600 RPM 1.5 CFM per square inch of screen area.
3. You must have 1.5 WC Inches of Vacuum at mill inlet.
4. Minimum Air Requirements For Air Relief/Assist Systems
Plenum Chamber - This chamber below the mill to fan duct cannot be too large.
You must keep air velocity down to match your product.
9. Factors or quality involved:
a) Accuracy of System - modify and correct.
System Weighing - accurately - test with certified weights
monthly. Test micro
scales weekly with certified weights.
Batching - set parameters
Time involved in weighing
Cleaning and inspecting of scales.
Liquid scales - check with certified weights weekly - clean
weekly.
3. Batching – Automated
10. b) Sequencing –
Refers to order of weighing and order for dumping in mixer.
Major Scales: weigh high volume ingredients first.
Micro Scales: Accuracy should be within .02 pounds.
Liquid Scale: weigh those that do not react with one another.
combining those
that don't give trouble
Mixing: Correct timing sequence is important.
Major or large ingredients first followed by lesser.
After filling 1/2 to 3/4 in mixer start liquid spraying.
Start Mixing.
11. c) Sampling Mixer:-
Done with probes or with a commercial sampler or make a 1"
hole about 1/3 from bottom of auger trough in the conveying
stream of material.
Take sample by opening gate over the 1" hole and catch a
continuous stream of feed in a container.
Mix and take a quart sample.
To reduce sample size you open this gate every 10 seconds for
5 seconds.
12. d). Testing Mixer
a. Microscope
b. Chemical Analysis:-
Protein Minerals
Fats
Drug Additives
c. Microtracers
d. Fiber or finished feed
e. Molds or finished feed
f. Pelleting :
13. Factors affecting Quality of Pellets:
• Mixed Feeds
• Pellet Binders Equipment and conditions
• Selections of dies and rolls
• Quality of steam – regulation
• % of fat in mixer - adding fat to die
• Moisture
• Cooling
• Addition of liquids downstream
• Maintenance
• Production rate
14. g. Storage
1) Moisture
2) Regular Cleaning of Bins
3) Bagging Operation
Scales
Pellet
Rotating Inventory
Insect and rodent control
15. h. Housekeeping, Maintenance and Safety
Program:
1) Orderly cleaning
2) Controls molds, bacteria, insects, and rodents
3) Regular and scheduled maintenance will insure
Quality Production.
4)Safety – program
5)Results - interrupted in Quality product.
