Flexible grinding solution for premium pet food

Pet food

All around the world, dogs and cats are increasingly being seen as members of the family. The health and nutrition of our four-legged friends are more important than ever. This trend is underscored by the constantly increasing market volumes for pet food. ADINAX Pet has recognised this trend, and in 2019 decided to increase its production capacity for high-quality premium pet food by installing a Tietjen grinding module and crossyoke plansifter in order to achieve a capacity of 6–8 t/h. Adimax was founded in 2002 by specialists with extensive experience in the pet food market, with the initial aim of serving the market in São Paulo. However, since then the company has grown continuously. Today it is headquartered in the city of Salto de Pirapora, and has three other production locations: Abreu e Lima-PE, Uberlândia-MG and Fortaleza-CE. Adimax offers products for almost all pet food segments, always with the aim of providing a range of quality products at affordable prices.

Energy efficiency and flexibility in one system

The combination of a GD 20 grinding module with crossyoke plansifter 1500 gives the operator the flexibility to change the process according to the grain size of the raw material required.
The operator can decide whether the mixture of raw materials should first be ground and the crossyoke plansifter only used as a control sifter, or whether the process should proceed according to the ‘cyclic grinding concept’. In this process, the crossyoke plansifter is used both as a pre-sifter and control sifter.

Formulas in which raw materials have a high percentage of fine particles are suitable for cyclic grinding (e.g. when they contain large quantities of meat and bone meal or other meal).
The cyclic grinding concept enables the particles to be classified. For example, particles larger than 600 µm would be sent to the grinding module, and those smaller than 600 µm to the main mixer. This enables considerable savings to be achieved in energy and spare parts for the hammer mill.

More return for biogas plants

Along with solar, hydro and wind energy, biogas is a regenerative energy source that helps to save fossil fuels. It is obtained in biogas plants from organic material through microbial degradation. With IMPRASYN, Tietjen offers a process that breaks down fresh material down to the cell structure and thus significantly increases the yield of the raw material. A biogas plant in Lower Saxony has already been using a Tietjen mill for years to produce biogas and thus supply public and private buildings with heat.

Modern processing plant for commercial biowaste

Together with a partner from the dosing and washing machine technology industry, Tietjen has
created one of the ‘best’ processing plants for commercial biowaste in Berne – and the depackaging machine DRM 800 double-rotor separation mill is its centrepiece.
