Thermal conditioning for improved meal flow and starch digestibility
Ensure optimal meal flow and starch digestibility with precise thermal conditioning, enhancing the quality and efficiency of your production line with direct steam injection and robust mixing capabilities.
Mixes, Heats, and Conditions Grains and Feed
The Thermal Conditioner CTID and CTIS from Stolz provide specialized heating and mixing solutions for the agribusiness and biofuel sectors. Constructed entirely of stainless steel, the unit ensures sanitary processing of cereals, flours, and animal feed. It uses a clogging screw mechanism for consistent product filling and features blades that induce a shearing effect to control retention time, allowing direct steam injection and homogeneous cooking for superior starch and gluten integration. The equipment is designed for seamless integration into continuous processing lines, feeding pellet mills with increased water addition capabilities, thus improving pellet quality and reducing energy consumption. With automation and liquid incorporation capabilities, the CTID and CTIS are essential for optimizing product quality and operational efficiency in feed, food, and biofuel production settings. Easy-to-clean outlet valves facilitate maintenance, while compatibility with various product forms like powders and granules allows flexibility in processing applications. Available engineering support and custom configurations ensure the equipment meets specific production requirements.
