In today's competitive market, it is more critical than ever for feed mills to increase production efficiency and reduce operational costs. Rising energy costs, wastage of raw materials, and labor-intensive labor requirements are among the top factors directly affecting profitability. So, what steps can you take to maximize the potential of your plant and ensure sustainable growth?
The answer lies in focusing on the right technology and strategic machinery investments. As Kayıalp Makine, with our inspiration from the field and our engineering competence, we have identified three key areas that fundamentally change productivity.
1. Precision in Every Grain: Smart Weighing and Dosing Systems
The heart of the production process is the error-free application of the right recipe. Traditional methods of weighing and dosing can lead to wastage of raw materials and inconsistencies in product quality.
- Solution: Modern weighing equipment with PLC-based control systems offers precise filling of different products and parameters thanks to recipe control. Precise measurements with loadcells minimize waste even in systems with continuous flow measurement. These systems not only reduce costs, but also increase customer satisfaction by standardizing final product quality.
2. Lossless and Safe Flow: Optimized Conveying and Filtration
Product losses and dust leaks during the raw material's journey from silo to production line to packaging are hidden cost items. In addition, inadequate filtration systems both threaten worker health and pave the way for machine breakdowns.
- Solution: Modern conveying systems (elevators, conveyors), designed to be streamlined and robust, transfer the product vertically or horizontally with minimal energy consumption and without loss. High-efficiency filter and aspiration units integrated into these systems prevent grain dust leakage, ensuring a clean working environment, and also incorporate the collected dust back into the system. This serves both the zero waste goal and reduces maintenance costs.
3. Speed and Standardization: Automation Supported Packaging
Packaging, the last stage of the production line, is often the most labor-intensive and potentially bottlenecking part. It is difficult to achieve speed and standardization in manual operations.
- Solution: Automated packaging machines can accurately fill hundreds of bags per hour with fast and accurate weighing. Optical sensors minimize the consumption of consumables such as string, while emergency stop buttons and user-friendly touch screens increase operator safety and efficiency. Features such as speed-controlled motors and adjustable belt heights allow easy adaptation to different product and bag types.
