Micro-ingredient dosing system for animal feed production
Precision in dosing micro-ingredients is essential in animal feed production to ensure consistent product quality and meet nutritional specifications. Challenges include accurate dosing of multiple ingredients and ensuring a dust-free, automated process.

Automates precise dosing of micro-ingredients
The micro-ingredient dosing systems from Ottevanger Milling Engineers are designed to handle up to 34 different ingredients, each dispensed through dedicated screw feeders. These systems include configurable options such as rotary discharge equipment for poorly flowing materials. Multiple weighers can operate at different levels, providing precise dosing with variances of 5, 10, and 50 grams, respectively. The system features airlock-integrated flexible rotary valves, and storage bins are constructed from food-quality stainless steel or mild steel. These dosing units often integrate seamlessly with central batch systems in modern feed plants, ensuring optimal formulation and accuracy.
