Micro-ingredient dosing system for animal feed production

Optimize your feed formulation accuracy with precision dosing, meeting diverse nutritional requirements across multiple livestock and pet spectrums, while reducing waste and ensuring consistency with every batch.

Precisely Doses and Weighs Micro-Ingredients

The Micro-ingredient Dosing Systems from Ottevanger Milling Engineers are engineered to ensure high precision in dosing operations for feed and pet food production. This system is notable for its flexibility, accommodating up to 34 dosing cells with screw feeders, and optional rotary discharge equipment for difficult-to-flow ingredients. It functions within a continuous or batch operation framework, seamlessly integrating with existing central charge systems to optimize processing efficiency. The equipment supports various applications, including the production of poultry feed pellets, dog kibble, and vitamin premixes. Designed for high accuracy, it uses a tiered weighing system with three weighers, achieving a net weighing precision of up to 50 grams. The system’s stainless steel or mild steel construction ensures durability and compliance with food safety standards. Featuring fully automated control, it can significantly reduce manual oversight, while its dustproof design promotes a clean working environment. Customizable design options and comprehensive engineering support cater to diverse ingredient and capacity requirements.
