How to improve accuracy on your macro and midi ingredient weighing systems

by Benny Simonsen, Working Board Member, Jesma Vejeteknik A/S, Denmark

The production of terrestrial and aqua feeds is a typical example of a discontinuous production process that employs a process of batch and semi-continuous operations.

The bottle neck in many feed mills is the macro- and midi- dosing cycle. This bottleneck can be avoided by employing a Jesma solution where you, at the same time, also optimise your batching operation as well as the dosing accuracy.
 

What is included in the typical feed mill?
At the centre of a typical feed mill process, you will find the batching, dosing, weighing and mixing processes. A batching system is typically based on an operating average of approximately 10-12 batches-per-hour, corresponding to between five-to-six minutes per batch. When calculating the total batching time, the emptying of scales and conveying systems need to be included.
