Micro-dosing system for animal feed additives

Achieve precise and consistent feed formulation with high-precision micro-dosing, ensuring accurate proportioning of trace elements and additives, crucial for optimal animal nutrition and feed quality.

Precisely Doses and Weighs Feed Ingredients

The Bühler Group’s Micro-Dosing System is engineered for precision in proportioning critical feed ingredients like vitamins and trace elements. This system features a sophisticated weighing mechanism, achieving an accuracy of 0.1% of scale capacity, ensuring reliable formulations for animal, aqua feed, and pet food production. Designed with automation in mind, it seamlessly integrates into existing production lines, allowing for automatic proportioning of up to 20 ingredients and quick adaptation to different batch recipes. Its stainless steel construction ensures superior sanitation and durability, minimizing contamination risks and supporting safe operations. This system is ideal for processing powders and granules, with applications spanning the production of cattle feed, poultry feed, fish pellets, and more. Capable of continuous operation, it enhances production efficiency and quality assurance, making it indispensable for feed producers and manufacturers.
