Steam injection systems for animal feed production

Enhance product quality in animal feed production with steam injection systems that boost compressibility and inactivate microbes, all while preserving the sensory properties of your feed mix.

Injects Steam for Heating and Conditioning

Ottevanger Milling Engineers’ Steam Injection System delivers precise heating and conditioning in feed mill operations by injecting high-quality dry steam into your process. This enhances the compressibility and safety of animal feeds, meeting stringent production standards. The system efficiently processes feeds for pets, aquaculture, and livestock, supporting applications in soymeal and oil production as well.

Available with capacities ranging from 150 to 2,500 kg/hr, the system ensures continuous, high-speed operation suitable for large-scale productions. Its design features an energy-efficient steam line with an integrated steam flash generating superheated steam, reducing boiler energy consumption and promoting heat transfer efficiency.

The compact steam sets integrate seamlessly with upstream feeding systems and downstream pelleting or extrusion equipment, facilitating automatic operation through PLC controls. Constructed with durable materials, it resists corrosion in challenging environments, ensuring longevity and reliability. Moreover, it supports easy installation and maintenance, minimizing downtime while maximizing productivity. Adaptable configurations and engineering support ensure the Steam Injection System can meet specific process requirements, bolstering your feed production’s efficacy and quality.
