Continuous Coaters by Ottevanger

The Ottevanger Continuous Coaters are perfectly suitable for adding and mixing liquids, evenly on pellets and/or extrudates. By dosing the liquids through a spray box, the product and liquids are slowly mixed together. The trough of the coater itself is executed in stainless or mild steel, with 50 mm thick insulated jacket. The heat tracing stimulates the absorption of the liquid and avoids contamination of the trough. The coater is equipped with hinged inspection hatches over the full length of the mixing trough, which allows easy access. Apart from oil and/or fat, also vitamins, enzymes etcetera can be added in small quantities. Dosing systems for these products are available upon request.

It has numerous features including Low power consumption, large doors enabling easy inspection/cleaning, rigid construction and variable heating system with insulated jacket and also has a low rate of wear.

The expander OE23 by AMANDUS KAHL

The machine is used in a variety of feed production processes, including mixing and kneading, homogenisation and agglomeration, as well as short-term conditioning. Thus, the all-rounder is not only used at the end of the production process to obtain Expandat, but already in preparation of pelleting. Due to the wide range of possible applications, the machine ensures a lot of savings, but at the same time also the specific improvement of individual feed components.

Using the crown outlet provides even greater flexibility. At the expander outlet, the pressure drops spontaneously. The product expands, and a part of the added water evaporates (flash evaporation). The crown outlet ensures that, in contrast to conventional pelleting, coarse particles also remain coarse. Combined with low energy consumption, the crown expander allows high throughputs. Existing expanders can be easily modified to crown expanders.

The construction of the machine and the cutting chamber enables loading of up to 40 blocks simultaneously with a total weight of up to 800 kg. The machine is intended in particular for large meat, pet food and fish plants, for grinding frozen blocks of meat, fish, cheese, vegetables or other food products with standardized dimensions. In addition to the cutting effect across the teeth, the structure of the crushed block is partly adjusted to the size of the pre-freezing pieces, in particular for meat raw materials.
