Energy consumption, which constitutes the largest operating expense in compound feed production after raw material costs, has become the most critical agenda item for feed mills in line with narrowing profit margins and carbon emission targets. In these facilities where electrical and thermal processes are intensively carried out, correct engineering optimizations to be implemented in grinding and pelleting lines, which hold the vast majority of total energy consumption, both unlock the door to sustainable production and radically reduce operating costs.

In a feed industry strained by narrowing profit margins, sustainability is no longer a commercial choice but an economic necessity. In its July cover story, Feed Planet lays out field-driven strategies, ranging from process engineering to smart nutritional technologies, designed to radically reduce operational expenses.

In Feed Mills, %70 of the total energy is consumed by the Pellet mill and Hammer mill.
