MILL & MIX INTRODUCTION PAGE Danagri-3S supplies SKIOLD Mill & Mix Equipment and Machinery SKIOLD are the leading supplier in Europe of Mill & Mix equipment. The range caters for capacities from 0.5 to 15 tonnes per hour, and are the natural choice for both farmers and small scale The commercial feed manufacturers. ADVANTAGES OF OWNING YOUR OWN FEED PROCESSING SYSTEM Use your own grain or selected raw materials, ensuring the finest quality ingredients in your rations. Bulk purchasing can save money. Produce own rations and premixes. Automatic processes reduce labour costs. Complete control over the whole feed operation: rations, freshness, costs and when required. Total feed costs reduced. Potential for profiting from sale of feed to local producers. Fresh feed, produced when it is needed without losing quality and feeding value giving improved livestock performance. Total feed requirement determines the type of mill and mix system that should be used. As a guideline, a livestock producer should use upwards of 100 tonnes of feed per year before setting up his own mill and mix system (see the graphs below for Cattle, Poultry and Pigs). This figure could be reduced, however, depending on local conditions (high prices, unsteady supply) as well as the possibility of selling feed to other farmers. This would increase the profitability from your own system considerably. Back to the top of the page. Accurate Weighing Every mill and mix system can only be as efficient as the accuracy of the weight of ingredients both before and after the process. Load cells are used to measure weights, so the accuracy of the load cells is very important to the whole mill and mix operation. Danagri-3S supply SKIOLD load cells which are accurate to XXX, are reliable, strong and have a long lifetime. The SKIOLD Disc Mill is a newly developed mill for grinding feed and has a patented system which enables various ingredients for all livestock. Power consumption, noise level and dust emission is low compared to traditional hammermills. Capacities go up to 12 tonnes per hour. Danagri-3S recommend the use of a Screen Cleaner as an insurance policy against damage to your Disc Mill due to stones, metal and other foreign bodies which can severely damage the equipment and result in down time periods for repair.

The SKIOLD Hammermill range caters for capacities of up to 2.5 tonnes/hour with power supplies from 5.5 kW to 37 kW. There are three models in the range and all come with the capacity of conveying materials from 30 metres to 80 metres. This conveying capacity is dependent upon the number of fan wings required for each model in the range. Each model is also fitted with a stone trap in the suction pipe to trap anything that is heavier than the grain, helping to prevent damage to the hammermill and the time and cost of repair.
