Who?
Agrifirm Feed is market leader in the field of animal feed in the Netherlands and has six production sites and a storage and transfer facility in the Netherlands. The production facility in Oss mainly produces cattle feed.
What?
The request by Agrifirm Feed was to optimize the liquid dosing systems and to adapt them so as to create more flexibility in the production process.
How?
After completing an inventory of the needs and the existing dosing system, the decision was made to mount different dosing systems for the feed mixing and pressing department. The dosing process operates by means of a pressure system in which the complete dosing system is kept under a constant dispensing pressure. If there is a demand from one of the many customers, the dosing systems will keep the installation at a constant preset dispensing pressure by means of frequency controlled pumps. Because this is a comprehensive system, there are additional control units mounted on the pump sets so that all dosing rates have a constant pressure in the installation, regardless of the fluid offtake.
