"Scalping" Mash in the Production of Animal Feed

From Kason Corporation
 

 
Producers of poultry and livestock feeds frequently receive cereal grains such as oats, barley, wheat, corn, etc. in bulk shipments, and removal of contaminants is desired prior to placing these ingredients in storage silos. Many producers take the added precaution of screening the finished product before the bagging operation. As the mill processes the cereal grains with additives to produce a finished feed mash traces of impurity such as paper labels, etc. may be accidentally incorporated. Kason Separators are widely used on both of these applications.
