The Feed Miller Manual – Energy, developed by Van Aarsen for PoultryTechBangladesh, provides feed mill operators, especially in Bangladesh, with practical strategies to improve energy efficiency, optimize production processes, and maintain high feed quality.
It emphasizes that grinding and pelleting are the most energy-intensive stages, offering tips such as using frequency-controlled hammer mills, optimal screen sizes, singular grinding, improved conditioning (via Long-Term Vessel), and automated roller adjustment to reduce consumption by up to 20%.
The manual also recommends counterflow cooling, high-efficiency motors, mechanical transport systems, advanced compressed air setups, preventive maintenance, and automation to further cut costs and enhance output.
Best practice equipment designs, including dosing units, mixers, pellet mills, and bulk handling systems, are detailed, along with insights into differences between European and Bangladeshi mills, highlighting the need for automation, alternative raw materials, and circular economy practices as labor costs rise.
Specific guidance for Bangladesh includes ensuring piping angles of at least 60°, using HEPA-filtered external air for cooling, cleaning raw materials at intake, managing temperature and condensation, and handling liquids in dedicated mixers to prevent contamination. The manual concludes with a quiz to reinforce key concepts and positions Van Aarsen as a global leader in sustainable, efficient feed milling solutions.
