GFMT's Alice Neal gets to grips with factors affecting silo design and demand. In 1961 world population stood at three billion and global cereal production was 876 million tonnes. Today, Earth is home to over seven billion people and world cereal production is 2282 million tonnes (FAO forecast). As the world population edges ever closer to the oft-repeated nine billion, it is not just grain production which is on the rise; storage solutions are also keeping pace with growing global population. At its most basic level, the primary function of a silo is to provide protection from the elements to increase the storage life of the grains.

But in addition to this, silos are a crucial element in the overall operation, the backbone so to speak for the entire grain storage system. Handling equipment feeds into the silos, and in many cases rests on top of them. Read the full article here. Computer programming technology in feed formulation. AB Vista. Yeast in aquaculture feeds.

Enzyme technology is an integral tool for the brewing, baking and textile industries. In agriculture there is great potential for enzymes too but this is yet to be fully exploited. However, animal nutrition is one area in which the use of feed enzymes is becoming increasingly important. There are three driving factors in animal production that are leading to the development and adoption of feed enzyme technology. Read the full article here. Efficient barge unloading technology. Sandro Suppa and Vincent van der Wijk of Bühler, Switzerland describe the how transporting grain by barge is an ecological and cost-efficient alternative to railway and truck haulage. Since time immemorial, ships have been used to deliver bulk goods over long distances, using the river current as a natural force to carry them downstream or yoking draft animals for upstream transport. Although trucks and trains have taken up a large part of this task in the modern age, barges are still a viable alternative for many goods.

A barge carrying one ton of cargo can travel five times as far on five liters of diesel as a truck with the same freight – 500 km compared to the truck’s 100 km of range overland. A ship carrying 3,000 tons of goods is equivalent to 50 railway cars or 100 trucks. Read the rest of the article here. Obial. Recycling surplus factory food into quality animal feeds.

Paul Featherstone, group director, SugaRich, United Kingdom tells GFMT about converting food waste into animal feed. When food is manufactured, a number of by-products are created and a proportion of the finished product can’t be placed on the market for consumption by humans. This can be for a variety of reasons such as packaging defects, or for technological reasons such as the wrong size or weight biscuits, over-baking, trial runs or over ordering and out of date stock. Many of these former foodstuffs, including biscuits, bread, breakfast cereals, grain products, crisps and confectionery can have a very high nutritional value – being a source of high quality fats, sugar and carbohydrates. After checking their safety and traceability and therefore suitability, SugaRich converts them into high quality ingredients for use in animal feed, avoiding waste from food that is not destined for human consumption.

Kevin Spiess, EMEA sales manager for explosion protection, BS&BSafety Systems, United Kingdom details safety precautions to control explosions in hammer mills. Grain and feed processed within hammer mills is common fuel for dust explosions due to the nature of its handling and storage.

Any time that feed such as grain, meals and flours is handled or moved, the fine organic dusts are at risk of burning and exploding. A fire or explosion results from ignition of combustible material (dust, gas or vapour) when mixed with oxygen in the air. When this takes place inside a grain silo, process or storage enclosure, the rapid rise in pressure could cause a violent explosion in milliseconds, placing personnel and property at risk. Just a few burning embers entering a dust collector are enough to trigger a dust explosion. Click on the image to read the article in full. Buhler. New issue of GFMT online now.
