Preparation of animal fodder

摘要

A process and apparatus for producing animal fodder. Selected dry ingredient materials are delivered from storage silos (12) and are prepared and mixed in a primary mixer (31) and then fat is added. Preset quantities of steam and molasses are mixed together and then added to the other ingredient materials in a controlled manner in a secondary mixer (35). This advantageously gives improved mixing and less trouble with plant running. Ideally also a selected quantity of water is sprayed onto granular ingredient materials when they are being conveyed from an intake hopper (10) to the storage silos (12) to counteract water loss during the process.
