Two German mechanical engineering companies Tietjen and Neuman & Esser signed a cooperation agreement. Combining forces, they aim to bring about new solutions for fine grinding of aqua feed and pet food.

In a cooperation agreement with Neuman & Esser Process Technology GmbH (NEA), Tietjen Verfahrenstechnik GmbH will take over the worldwide distribution of the NEA impact classifier mill, under the name "TICM" (Tietjen Impact-Classifier Mill). The exclusive agreement refers to the applications aqua feed and pet food. Neuman & Esser brings its proven impact classifier mill (ICM) into the partnership. The typical applications of the ICM are chemicals, pigments, powder coatings, minerals, coal, food, confectionery, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. As a grinding specialist, Tietjen uses its mills and plants in a wide variety of areas – including the production of fish and pet food. With the "TICM", Tietjen has broadened its product portfolio and offers solutions for the high demands of the pet and fish food industry. The TICM fine grinding concept is specially designed for the requirements of fish feed and pet food production and thus masters the high demands in terms of fineness. The TICM combines efficient grinding with precise classification in one machine. Therefore, it is possible to produce particularly homogeneous end products with high fineness ranges from 100 μm to 400 μm and a precise separation cut of up to 99% at high throughput rates.
