AMANDUS KAHL has many years of experience in the design of complete production lines in which different pre- and post-treatments can be combined with hydrothermal treatment depending on the requirements.
Soybeans, legumes, cereals, rape and cotton seeds - all these natural raw materials require special hydrothermal treatment before being processed. This may also be the case for feed mixtures. The reason for this is the presence of digestion-inhibiting and harmful components, which can cause considerable damage to the quality of the product and may be harmful to health. Hydrothermal treatment is indispensable in order to reduce inhibitors such as urease, trypsins or phasins, but also for starch modification and hygiene treatment. The high and uniform quality of the end product is achieved by the easily controllable and adjustable pressure and temperature range.
