It will be a walk-through of a system. Specific information and features about different pieces of equipment used in the system will be addressed in a future article. A diagram of a typical pelleting system is shown in Figure l.Item Open Access Choosing a batch mixer(2015-05-08) Fairchild, Fred J.; fjfOnce all of the ingredients have been weighed up in the proper amounts, the next step in the feed manufacturing process is to blend them together. This is done using some type of mixing apparatus. In this article we will look at different types of batch mixers used in the commercial and integrated feed industries.Item Open Access Motor speed reduction methods(2015-05-08) Fairchild, Fred J.; fjfA.C. motors usually come in standard output speeds of 3600, 1800, 1200 or 900 revolutions per minute (rpms), but the machines they power generally require different input speeds. In order to get to the required input speed for a particular piece of machinery, some type of speed reduction method is required. These reductions in speed are accomplished by using gear reducers, v-belt and sheaves, chain drives with sprockets or combinations of each. In this article, we will focus on gear reducers.Item Open Access Examining the pelleting system(2015-05-08) Fairchild, Fred J.; fjfThis is the second article in a two-part series on the pelleting system. The first article, published in the February issue of World Grain, covered the system from the mash supply bins through the pellet cooler. This article will cover the rest of the system. After cooling, the pellets may be crumbled, screened, coated with additional liquid or sent directly to bulk or bagging bins.Item Open Access U.S. - South America ocean grain freight spreads(Kansas State University. International Grains Program Institute, 2015-03-16) O'Neil, Jay; joneilThis study highlights the market influences that affect ocean freight spreads between North and South American ports of origin to Asia and how these spreads affect the competitiveness of U.S. grain exports to Asia. Rate comparisons from the U.S. Gulf to China have been used as opposed to the U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW) because of the limitations presented by the Panama Canal and the Canal transit costs as this is where the Atlantic freight spread competition exists.Item Open Access Starches and insect control(2014-10-29) Subramanyam, Bhadriraju; sbhadrirItem Open Access Pest control Is an ongoing effort(2014-10-29) Subramanyam, Bhadriraju; sbhadrirItem Open Access Insecticides for empty grain bins(2014-10-29) Subramanyam, Bhadriraju; Sehgal, Blossom; sbhadrirIn this column, Blossom Sehgal, a graduate research assistant in the Department of Grain Science and Industry, Kansas State University (KSU), Manhattan, teamed up with Milling Journal’s regular contributor Bhadriraju Subramanyam (Subi), a Don Wilbur Sr. Endowed Professor of Postharvest Protection, Department of Grain Science and Industry, KSU, to explain their key findings from evaluating the effectiveness of two insecticides for treating empty bins.
