Off-site animal feed production

Off-site feed mills are a critical part of the animal feed production chain. Maximizing throughout and reducing waste are priorities for producers, who must also maintain optimized product quality and hygiene while ensuring the safety of their staff. In addition, packaging feeds for retail sale requires timely logistics, with efficient storage and handling needed to keep products in peak condition before it reaches the animals.

ABB solutions are engineered to meet the needs of today’s increasingly sophisticated industrial animal feed production facilities. From high efficiency, explosion- proof motors across a wide power range to energy-saving drives and advanced industrial PLCs, we’re here to help animal feed producers to improve the sustainability, reliability and safety of their operations.

Wet feed production

Effective cooling and refrigeration are essential for high quality, safe-to-eat food for animal consumers of wet food. Vitally important in all animal food production, hygiene is particularly critical at all phases of wet food production, where products must be stored under the correct conditions to ensure that quality is maintained and avoid perishing.

Wet food producers must also adhere to strict safety standards to prevent contamination. High pressure washdowns are often required, which means that machinery must be able to withstand frequent cleaning and strong chemicals. Reliability is also key, as downtime can result in costly production bottlenecks.

ABB solutions - including energy-efficient motors, drives, and domain expertise – can play an invaluable role in helping wet food producers maximize production efficiency, maintain safety and hygiene, reduce plant downtime and minimize wastage to boost overall profitability.
