Classification Of Meat Meal In The Production Of Animal Feed

From Kason Corporation
 

 
Meat meal is a by-product of inedible rendering and may be high in fat (up to 12% ) from expellers and presses or low fat from solvent extraction. Meal is used in animal feed formulations and specifications call for 100% passing through screens ranging from 8 to 16 mesh and minimum quantity of fines. Hammer mills are used with perforated screens ranging from 3/16" to 5/16" and operate closed circuit with vibrating screens. Power requirement is approximately 13 H.P. per ton of feed and efficient classification results in minimum power demand and reduction of fines produced.
