Hot start conditioner for feed and food processing
Enhance your production process with a high-efficiency thermal heating solution, ensuring precise temperature control and optimal homogenization for feed and food products, while tackling bacterial contamination head-on.
Mixes and Thermally Treats Feed Products
The Hot Start Conditioners (TCS) by Ottevanger Milling Engineers are engineered specifically for the stringent requirements of feed processing. These robust units feature a closed, insulated, and heated mixing chamber designed to mix and thermally treat feed products effectively. Utilizing a shaft with can rotate in two directions, the conditioner employs dry steam to achieve the desired temperature, ensuring a homogeneously mixed and hygienically processed product. Adjustable paddles and interchangeable built-in scrapers optimize steam absorption and streamline maintenance. With applications ranging from cattle feed pellets to vitamin premixes, the Hot Start Conditioners are capable of handling a variety of products at continuous high-speed operations. Supported by a gear or timing belt-driven motor that requires frequency converter control, these units guarantee consistent performance and energy efficiency. The construction in AISI 304 stainless steel with Hardox paddles ensures durability and resistance to corrosion, while the integrated electric heating system and large inspection hatches facilitate easy monitoring and control. Ideally suited for compound feed, pet food, and aquafeed manufacturing, these conditioners enable feed producers to maintain stringent hygiene standards without the need for a bypass system, enhancing both product safety and production efficiency.
