Pelletize Long Fibre and Save Money

Pelletize Long Fibre and Save Money

"Long fiber pelleting has always been the strength of AMANDUS KAHL," says Olaf Naehrig, one of our speakers in this KAHL On Air episode. 

Grain prices have reached a recent high. That means alternatives are needed.Thanks to the fact that there is no need for pre-grinding in a hammer mill, the AMANDUS KAHL pellet press manages to pellet long-fibre products efficiently and economically. In this episode, listen to the advantages of pelletizing long fibers in animal nutrition and for your wallet - and, last but not least, how you can save money. 

Our well-known colleagues Olaf Naehrig and Dennis Werner will take you on a journey through this success story and hope to have convinced you of our process technology afterwards.

Wood industry: KAHL's Pan Grinder Mill Technique

Wood industry: KAHL's Pan Grinder Mill Technique

Wood Chips come in different sizes and qualities as well as in different humidities. In order to prepare wood chips ideally for pelleting, efficient and high-quality shredding is required. This is where points come into play, such as energy efficiency, robustness, product protection and product flexibility. With the Pan Grinder Mill from AMANDUS KAHL, the machine manufacturer has launched and established a machine that is incomparable and that covers exactly these points.

In this issue of KAHL On Air, our colleagues from Sales, Olaf Nahrig, and R&D, Hannes Bredow, talk about the use, the successes and the special features of this shredding machine.

The Treatment of Monocomponents

The Treatment of Monocomponents

Do you want to produce animal feed? 

This project requires far more than simply mixing different products. Finally, the economic factor must not be ignored. Especially when it comes to feeding. Because animal welfare and animal health are the top priority when it comes to successful feeding. A keyword that feed producers are repeatedly confronted with is "digestibility". Energy sources such as full-fat soy or corn must be hydrothermally treated during processing. This is the only way to change pollutants or substances that are difficult to digest in order to make them easily digestible for the animal. Here, our AMANDUS KAHL Expander comes into play for this process. We have been using this for several decades to hydrothermally process individual components that are difficult to digest. It can be used either at the end of production to produce expandate or before pelleting to optimize both the pelleting process and the end product. 

Our colleagues Olaf Naehrig, Felix Tometten and Malte Kroeger will take you into the world of economical and optimal animal feeding and show you the advantages of using our expanders for different animal needs.

The Production of Wood Pellets with KAHL Pellet Mills

The Production of Wood Pellets with KAHL Pellet Mills

Green energies are becoming increasingly important. Whether via wind turbines or hydroelectric power - energy production can be made green in different ways. One is the CO2 neutral combustion of wood pellets. However, these wood pellets must first be produced. This is where AMANDUS KAHL comes into play. Under ideal conditions, the flat die pellet mill 65-1500 can produce more than 12 tons of wood pellets per hour (depending on the product).
The sales colleagues Dennis Werner and Olaf Naehrig together can look back on more than 50 years of "wood pelleting" experience. Let's find out in this episode what advantages at KAHL you get for your business and which role an efficient wood grinding plays.

What is an Extruder for?

What is an Extruder for?

In this episode of KAHL On Air Olaf Naehrig, Stefan Lungwitz and Lars Wiehen discuss our Extruder. This machine is essential for the production of petfood and fish feed. In terms of construction, the KAHL Extruder was further developed just a few months ago. In this issue you can find out exactly what was done, what other advantages the machine has and why feed manufacturers should choose AMANDUS KAHL. Have fun listening!

KAHL's Vacuum Coater - Quality Machinery in Producing Fish Feed and Petfood

KAHL's Vacuum Coater - Quality Machinery in Producing Fish Feed and Petfood

The production of fish feed and petfood requires sophisticated process techniques. AMANDUS KAHL has developed the Vacuum Coater in order to efficiently and economically transfer nutrients and enzymes into extrudates – a machine that cannot be compared to any other on the market. 

In this new podcast episode, Olaf Nährig and Stefan Lungwitz discuss the beginnings of the vacuum coater and work out for example how much the cost savings are when using a KAHL vacuum coater, if this results in less product abrasion.
