Fully automatic turn-key solution for animal feed

The very best equipment for a smart factory

in the Italian food industry.

The main requirement for Mignini & Petrini in the modernisation of

its packaging plants is to be increasingly competitive in the stockfeed

market, not only providing retailers with improved packaging but also

giving the end user higher quality products whilst paying special

attention to the environment with a reduced use of plastics.

Concetti S.p.A has supplied the most innovative, efficient and

cutting edge technologies available.

Two fully automatic turnkey lines each

consisting of duplex “high precision” belt

fed net weighers, bag filling machines

model “IGF 1200”, our four column robot

palletising machine featuring bag pick,

place, layer squaring and compression,

and innovative ring type, power pre-

stretch wrapper to wrap pallets in a more

sustainable way with minimal film.

This type of high speed l ine,

characterised with the ultimate flexibility,

is the Concetti flagship feature, enabling

customers to easily package – with just

one plant – different kinds of animal

feeds ranging from powders to cubes, as

well as ground, flat, flaky and laminated

products.

The capacity of the bagging machine

is up to 1,200 bag/h when handling free

flowing products in 25kg bags.

Stoppage time between products is

reduced to a minimum by the Concetti

fully automatic changeover feature

taking just 60 seconds from the HMI

keyboard.

The neat, square shape of the

finished pallets are a result of the layer

squaring and compression feature of

the Concetti four-column palletiser

that guarantees this packaging system

remains one step ahead.

CroSton engineeringFrom the time that the Company was

formed in 1976 Croston Engineering

has been closely involved in the design

and building of process plants for the

animal feed, human food and associated

industries, that also include grain,

brewery, distillers, pet food, fertilisers

etc. for clients throughout the U.K.

A major part of this work relates to providing mechanical handling

equipment that is in accordance with the throughput requirement of

production equipment such as mixers, grinders, pelleters, etc.

The Company’s involvement begins at the mechanical intake of

raw materials via elevators, conveyors, rubble separators and magnets

into storage bins, plus the pneumatic conveying of powdered ingredients

into their designated additive storage bins which are fitted with correctly

sized dust filter units.

Bin hoppers and dischargers are designed to suit the materials

being handled and their associated weighers sized to maximise

weighing accuracy before being transferred to blending. Then on via

transit bins and associated conveyors through the production cycle to

finished products storage prior to packing and bulk outloading.

Many projects involve upgrading and extensions to existing

plants which may, as a consequence, require reassessment to ensure

continued compliance with DSEAR/ATEX Explosion Regulations as

may be applicable. Crostons will advise and implement should action

be required.

In addition to its 41 years’ service and experience in serving the

industry the Company’s standing is enhanced by being an Approved

SAFEContractor, a recognised standard of competence in the

industry.

gAme engineeringTaking the hard work out of ingredient additions.

Game Engineering has delivered

a further micro-ingredient

weighments system to a pet-

foods manufacturer who is

already seeing considerable improvements in product consistency.

The first Micro-Ingredient Weighments system was originally

designed in-house as part of a much larger project for a major animal

feeds manufacturer. The key requirement was the need to remove the

time consuming hand-weighing element of the production while, at

the same time, speeding up the delivery of ingredients and improving

accuracy. This was over ten years ago and, with normal routine

maintenance the system is still working perfectly well.

Since that first installation Game Engineering has delivered and

installed a number of Micro-Ingredient Weighments systems and

because these are machines that are manufactured to order, each one

has been tailored to the customers’ specific requirement. The system

consists of between six and ten mezzanine mounted ingredient bins.

The bins can vary in capacity depending on the ingredient, however

two bins with a capacity of 1,000kg and the remaining at 250/300kg is

a configuration that customers seem to prefer.

The contents of each bin are automatically discharged into the

weigher until the correct weight is reached and then transferred down

into a central weigh hopper which is mounted on load-cells. Once all the

bins are discharged and the contents of the weigh hopper pneumatically

conveyed onwards, the entire process is repeated automatically. A

bucket filter fitted with a reverse jet minimises any dust during the

filling process.

The real benefit of the Micro-Ingredient Weighments system is its

repeatability and complete control of ingredient delivery.

All structural steelwork can be offered in painted or galvanised

mild steel and 304 stainless steel. The ingredient bins, feeders and

weigh hopper are 304 stainless steel.

tAPCo inC.Tapco Inc. manufactures

the most widely accepted

line of non-metallic elevator buckets (cups) in the industry. Tapco

stocks one million buckets in 178 sizes manufactured in polyethylene,

nylon, and polyurethane. Aluminium, ductile iron and fabricated steel

buckets are available by request. Typical agricultural bucket uses are

grain, feed, fertilizer and seed. Popular styles include CC-HD (Heavy

Duty), CC-XD (Xtreme Duty) and Super EuroBucket. This vast array

of product allows Tapco to provide customers with the right bucket for

the application. State-of-the-art injection moulding machines assure

the most consistent product in the industry. Tapco buckets are known

worldwide for their strength and precise discharge characteristics.

Strong, thick walls “give” and “yield” to withstand hang-ups and return

to their original shape. The CC-XD is moulded with 35-50% MORE

resin than the classic CC-HD – to guarantee very dense, long wearing

surfaces. Super EuroBuckets replace steel buckets and provide equal

or greater capacity for your elevator.

Tapco maintains 15 million elevator bolts in 60 sizes in six styles:

No. 1 Flat Countersunk Head, No. 3 Slotted and Ribbed Head, Fanged,

Pointed Fanged, Western 3-Prong Head and Reference 70 Head w/

mating Oval Washer. Bolts are available in Carbon Steel, Stainless

Steel, 316 Stainless, 18-8 Stainless, Zinc Plate and Yellow Zinc.

Tapco also has a large inventory of abrasion resistant sheeting, hanger

bearings, drag flights and belt splices.
