Pelleting costs money, and better pellets cost more. Payback comes in the form of convenience in handling the feed and more efficient use of the feed by the animal. Improved efficiency is due in part to heat processing, which reduces pathogens and makes starch more digestible. A significant portion of the improvement is related to the physical form of the pellet. Durable pellets reduce waste, reduce segregation, improve palatability and allow larger meals to be eaten in less time. All these factors contribute to optimized feed efficiency.

Bredol emulsifiers are used to obtain economic benefits in pellet production. The concept allows greater flexibility in choice of liquids and dry raw materials without problems in production. It leads to higher throughput with less resistance and energy consumption. Pellets of consistent quality with stable moisture levels are produced. A key to success is the ability to produce a homogenous mixture of liquid components with the help of Bredol product’s powerful emulsifying properties.

The use of liquid components becomes easier with Bredol emulsifier. Fat, water and other ingredients form a fine mix, which will be evenly distributed and absorbed in the meal leading to smoother production. High viscosity products like molasses or glycerol become more manageable. Micro ingredients become better dispersed or dissolved and better utilised. As an example pigments are better dissolved. Addition can be achieved through on line mixing or via a tank with a homogeniser.
