General description
Conditioning is the result of the 3 variable: moisture, temperature and time. As moisture and temperature are related, time
is the ultimate variable when optimising nutritional quality of the feed as well as improving pellet quality.

General description
Expander is a machine similar to an extruder, combining temperature (115°C) and
pressure (20 bar) to treat and condition raw materials to provide a crumb with
improved nutritional value to that of conventional feeds.

The advantages of using the vertical mill are: • Main drive has a hydraulic coupling, with built in torque overload and v-belt drive transfer.
• Reduced electricity consumption: when compared to horizontal hammer mills with the same capacity, energy • The heavy duty compression screw is constructed out of several sections on a single shaft, increasing shear action.
consumption is on average 25% lower. • The die assembly can be hydraulically turned/disconnected from the machine for easy access.
• Limited air flow: it is not necessary to have a specific suction line for the mill in the grinding chamber. This results in • The die aperture is hydraulically controlled allowing operator to increase/reduce compression/shear action and the

• Screens and hammers, parts subject to wear, are hooked to make their replacement really easy. • Variable speed knife arrangement, with independent drive, to determine crumb size and ensures uniform product size.
• The grinding chamber is easy to clean and inspect. • Through the length of the expander we can add steam under high pressure. It’s possible due to many special injectors.
