Feed mill compactor for improved pellet quality
Optimize your feed production with a compactor designed to enhance pellet quality by effectively managing steam and liquid absorption, ensuring homogeneity and boosting overall pelleting capacity.

Compacts and Mixes Feed and Food Ingredients
The BOA Compactors from Ottevanger Milling Engineers are designed to enhance your feed and food production line by efficiently compacting and mixing a variety of raw materials. This equipment excels with its patented pre-compacting technology, providing an innovative solution compared to traditional pelleting or expanding processes. With a double-walled mixing chamber, the system precisely introduces steam and liquids, ensuring uniform mixing and superior pellet quality. Its robust construction and adjustable paddles facilitate a hygienic and flexible process across applications that include compound feed, pet food, and soybean processing. Capable of handling continuous and high-speed operations, the compactors integrate seamlessly with existing automation systems, reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs. Available in durable materials like AISI 316, the equipment also features hydraulic controls and V-belt transmission to guarantee precise compaction. Whether producing poultry feed pellets or vitamin and mineral premixes, the BOA Compactors are engineered to meet the diverse needs of animal feed manufacturers, aquafeed producers, and agro-industrial companies.
