Successful projects from practice

Use cases worldwide

Since 1959 more than 2200 Tietjen plants with hammer mills and depackaging machines have been installed worldwide –  from Australia to Zimbabwe, from agricultural businesses to well-known international companies.

On this page, we showcase selected projects in which our customers have successfully managed a wide range of requirements – from animal feed and food to wood and the production of alternative energies.

 

Compound feed, Great Britain

The combination of the GDX hammer mill and Ex-certified IE5 synchronous reluctance motors saves energy: up to 40% fewer losses in the production of compound feed.


Alcohol Production, Polska

At Stock Polska, three NDK wet hammer mills grind freshly harvested grain and maize for alcohol production.
Thanks to the wet process and stainless steel design, the system is particularly efficient, hygienic and low-maintenance – and meets the highest quality standards.

Malt sprouts, Haßfurt, Germany

The new HM hammer mill for grinding malt sprouts impresses our customer Weyermann with: Finer grinding of the germ buds with increased throughput, 25% increase in silo capacity due to the fineness of the ground material and lower noise emissions.


Biowaste, Schweinsberg, Germany

Thanks to the new depackaging plant, NVM Biokraft GmbH is able to increase the dry matter content of the organic components to up to 20 %, which significantly the recycling options


Potato flakes, Germany

Emsland Food is impressed by the Tietjen mills when it comes to grinding potato flakes – the defined particle size, quick screen changes, and low maintenance requirements when grinding potato flakes.


Biowaste Sorting, Friesoythe – Germany

The DRM depackaging machine was integrated into an existing system and impresses in practice with its robust design and fail-safe, economical operation.


Animal feed, Finland

After replacing its old mill with a Tietjen GDL hammer mill, the compound feed manufacturer Hankkija achieved a 20% increase in productivity and was also able to reduce maintenance costs.


Aquafeed, Germany

Our customer J. Müller achieves a purity level of around 95% in the production of fishmeal by using a VDK 4 hammer mill with an upstream cleaning system consisting of a drum screen and air separator.


Organic grain meal, Germany

Quality – Made in Germany – The high-speed mill VL has been used by Gut Rosenkranz for grinding grain for 36 years.


Biomass, Germany

By integrating the IMPRA mill, our customer can increase the capacity of the biogas plant by 30% and save 12% substrate at the same time.


Pasta, Sweden

Beans are ground into bean flour for the production of gluten-free pasta. The achieved fineness of 99 % < 500 µm is achieved with the VDK hammer mill, suction-pneumatic flour conveying and total separator with pocket filter technology.


Aquafeed, Vietnam

DeHeus in Vietnam is increasing production capacity and is improving feed quality. At the same time, energy consumption will be reduced by 30% per tonne compared to the existing plant.


Wood pellets, Croatia

Combined process: The wet hammer mill grinds 12 t/h of wood with a residual moisture content of 30-40 %. Fine grinding is carried out by a VDK hammer mill after drying.


Compound feed, Canada

Nieuwland Feed & Supply Ltd in Canada receives a grinding system with the GDL hammer mill with quick screen change and can thus increase its production capacity while maintaining the same quality.


Biomass, Switzerland

For ara regio bern AG, Tietjen is installing a reception and treatment plant for biowaste, including a DRM depackaging machine for the production of biogas for the public gas network.


Pet food, Brazil

By choosing a combination of a GDL 20 grinding module and Crossyoke Plansifter 1500, the customer receives a highly flexible, energy-efficient solution that offers optimum granulation of the raw materials to produce premium pet food.


Pet food, South Africa

By choosing a combination of a GDL 25 grinding module and crossyoke plansifter, the customer is receiving an energy-efficient solution that offers maximum flexibility and optimum granulation of the raw materials to produce premium pet food.


Straw, India

The SD straw mill crushes rice straw for energy production in India. The biogas yield can be increased thanks to the good digestion with the SD straw mill.


Breadcrumbs, Germany

In BRATA KG’s latest breadcrumb plant, the company once again relies on a grinding module from Tietjen. The VDK hammer mill grinds white bread and bread roll leftovers for breadcrumb production.


Banana chips, Uganda
