Retention time barrel for feed pelleting
Enhance your feed processing efficiency with a specialized retention time barrel, ensuring optimal steam absorption and temperature control for superior pellet quality before reaching the pellet mill or extruder.
Enhances Steam Absorption and Thermal Treatment
The Retention Time Barrel (RTB) from Ottevanger Milling Engineers is a key component in optimizing your feed processing operation. This equipment ensures that after steam is homogeneously mixed in a conditioner, the product undergoes thorough thermal treatment. It enables a first-in/first-out retention approach, allowing consistent temperature maintenance essential for pelleting, extruding, or cooling processes. The RTB caters to various industries, handling compound feeds, pet food, aquaculture feed, and grain processing with ease. It significantly boosts pelleting capacity by up to 15% due to enhanced steam absorption. Equipped with features such as direct drive or timing belt transmission, insulated design, and adjustable electric heating, the RTB ensures minimal condensation and bacterial growth. Materially, it is constructed with AISI 304 components for durability and reliability. The Retention Time Barrel seamlessly integrates into your production line, offering options for customization in retention time and capacity, complemented by straightforward cleaning access and robust engineering support.
