Increase profitability with Hydronix Moisture Measurement
Controlling moisture at the correct level throughout all stages of processing can be one of the biggest problems for feed and grain manufacturers. Too wet, and the raw material can become mouldy during storage or sticky during processing. Too dry and it will become brittle and turn to flour or dust. Either circumstance leads to waste and therefore directly impacts on profit.

Perfection in grain milling a highly demanding task. Antares sets new standards for round-the-clock milling. The self-contained roll pack and reliable product feed ensure precise and consistent flour. Maximum hygiene is guaranteed thanks to clever insulation, integrated product inlet aspiration and stainless steel lining. Experience a new level of ease of use and quality from ergonomic controls and operating reliability to the highly impressive design. Antares The New Art of Milling.

Measure Moisture & Reduce Cost

Microwave moisture sensors are not affected by dust, colour or vapour arising from processing and have proved to be the most cost effective, reliable and easy to use method of controlling moisture in grain and feed manufacturing. Raw materials are passed across the ceramic faceplate of the sensor which radiates an extremely low powered electromagnetic microwave field. The resonant frequency of the material changes with variations in moisture content, and with 25 readings taken per second, the sensor detects changes in moisture levels almost instantaneously. This allows adjustments to the water addition process to be automatic and in real time. A perfect system would have sensors positioned throughout all of the various elements of the processing plant. Hydronix have a range of sensors that can be positioned in a variety of different locations depending upon specific requirements. The Hydro-Probe is designed to be located in the neck of a bin, underneath the gate, or in the material on a conveyor, and takes readings as the material flows around the sensor. For applications with a high ambient temperature, the Hydro-Probe Orbiter can be mounted above belt conveyors. Finally for applications that use a screw conveyor, chute or mixer, the Hydro-Mix is a flush mounted sensor that enables the material to pass across the faceplate. Hydronix has 30 years experience in moisture measurement, and is the original developer of the digital microwave moisture measurement method. Tel: +44 1483 468900

Enzymes:
BUCKET ELEVATOR COMPONENTS

how to obtain the most cost effective inclusion in your formulation?

nzymes have become a key solution in resource efficiency. Phytase is known to raise the available or digestible phosphorus (P). However, the power to release digestible P out of plant phytate is not linear. This means that its no use adding (expensive) phytase to the feed unlimitedly. But how to deal with this non-linear effect? How to obtain the most cost-effective use of enzymes in your formulation? In other words: How to formulate easily the cheapest compound with the most optimal inclusion of enzymes?

Milling & baking enzymes Flour improvers

Nutrase Xyla is a unique bacterial endo-xylanase with special properties that considerably improve digestibility of corn and wheat diets for poultry and swine. Free-Tox is a range of selected indigestible adsorbents that bind mycotoxins in the gastrointestinal tract and prevent their uptake into the blood Y-Mune and Nutracid Intestim are new, innovative products for poultry and pigs that support growth and improve feed conversion by modulating the immune system, stimulating villi growth and increasing absorption capacity Nuvisol products are range of water-soluble vitamin supplements, specifically formulated for administration through the drinking water Y-MOS & Y-Boost are derived from high quality bakery yeast used in feed to support the development of young animals Our food and feed products are developed in close cooperation with leading research institutes around the world and supported by solid independent research and top performance. BUCKET

Detailed analysis of the result

There is more. BESTMIX also gives insight in the behaviour of the enzyme in the composition. It compares the composition and the price of the compound twice: Once with the use of phytase and once without the use of phytase. This way, the nutritionist can analyse the behaviour of phytase in all details.

Feed enzymes Feed additives

Anti-nutritional effect of enzymes

Phytase not only releases extra digestible Phosporus. Thanks to its anti-nutritional effect, it also raises the level of protein, amino-acids and energy values in the feed. These extra advantages are made visible in BESTMIX . The software clearly shows to the nutritionist the effect of phytase in the compound feed for all nutrients.

Enzymes: how to obtain the most cost-effective inclusion in your formulation? Resource efficiency
UNDER SPEED MONITOR BELT ALIGNMENT SYSTEM Formulation managers have an increasingly strategic role to play in a complex market. Resource efficiency has become a key word in feed formulation. Breaking down the plant phytate to release more digestible Phosphorus by adding phytase in animal feed has become common practice. Fast facts Phytase is an enzyme that increases availability of phosphorus in animal diets Phytase lowers the amount of supplemental phosphorus required in the diet Because of improved dietary phosphorus utilization, less phosphorus is excreted in the manure.

Put the best in, get the most out

Nutrex prides itself in providing the finishing touch for nutrition by consistently adding high value to its customers and users products, allowing them to save more costs and improve performance.

Most cost-effective use of Phytase in the formulation

Not all phytases available on the market have the same effectiveness. Nor the same price. With BESTMIX , it is easy to evaluate every single type of phytase, making you see which phytase brings the highest value to your specific compound.

Sizer
2011 has been a great year for Sizer and we are hoping that 2012 will be even better! Despite a difficult start to the year with the worldwide economic downturn, we had an excellent response when exhibiting at Victam International, Cologne in May. Contacts made during the show have led to us securing agents/customers in new European markets, which have made a very welcome addition to our existing worldwide network.

NSP enzymes
The BESTMIX feed formulation software not only offers a solution for working with Phytase, but also with any kind of NSP enzyme. This means the formulator can set up a NSP-enzyme in such a way, that its effect on the nutritional value of certain other ingredients is defined. In other words, you define exactly on which ingredients the enzyme has an actual effect. This way, your ingredient matrix is kept clean. It has proven to be a far better solution than to create different series of a certain ingredient, with adapted nutrient values for every NSP enzyme and every possible enzyme activity combination.

pelleting solutions

Sizer....The future of pelleting since 1899

In view of this success, we are excited to be exhibiting at Victam Asia 2012 in Bangkok. The last time we exhibited at Victam Asia was in 1991, so our long awaited return is drawing close and preparations are well underway. Our aim for Victam Asia 2012 is to secure new agents/distributors for our comprehensive range of pellet press spare parts in the Asian market areas not already covered. As well as spares for our own Orbit Pellet Press range, we also offer parts to suit many other manufacturers such as CPM, Buhler & Simon Barron. We even supply parts discontinued by other manufacturers, giving you peace of mind that youll have continuity of availability. Our pelleting knowledge and technical engineering expertise combine together allowing us to offer solutions that not only suit our customers needs but help them deal with their challenges and remain at the forefront of their industry. Our Commercial Manager, Suzanne Birley is leading the team for the Victam Asia 2012 exhibition. Suzanne has been with the Sizer Ltd for 8 years and manages the International Development of the company. She will be available on our stand for the full duration of the show. We look forward to a successful show and to seeing you there! Please come and visit us on stand no. D045 Victam Asia, BITEC Bangkok | 15-17 February 2012. ELEVATOR BELT

Non-linear behaviour of phytase : challenge for feed formulation programs

How useful adding phytase to feed may seem, tests have shown that the power to release digestible P out of plant phytate is not linear. This means that the first 250 FTU of phytase will release more digestible P than the second 250 FTU you include in a compound. This non-linear behaviour forms special challenges for feed formulation programs, as these are based on linear programming. Adifos least-cost feed formulation program BESTMIX is the first and only tool that offers a sound solution for optimising with non-linear effect. The software breaks down the effect of Phytase into linear phases to simulate the non-linear effect. This way, the formulator can apply Phytase as if it were any other ingredient, resulting in the same values: the optimal inclusion rate, the shadow price, the total consumption, etc. BESTMIX uses a full optimisation, resulting in a dynamic inclusion rate of Phytase and the lowest possible compound price.

COMPANY PROFILES - 2011/12

Conclusion
Using the state-of-the-art formulation tool BESTMIX to calculate the cheapest compound with the most optimal inclusion of enzymes is a real money saver. More
