Case Study: Optimizing Sieving Efficiency for a Leading Animal Feed Producer in the Philippines

Overview

The animal feed industry growing day by day, due to high demand of it need high amount of production which meet high volume requirements to fulfill the demands. While processing an animal feed precision and efficiency are the key points which need to be taken care by the manufacturer. In Philippines one of the largest animal feed producer facing challenges in their sieving process which impact the overall product quality. Galaxy Sivtek come up with its innovative solution Roto Sifter 1350 and help them to transform the whole sieving process.

Challenges Customer Was Facing

The producer using centrifugal sifter to sieve the processed animal feed powder before forming it into pellets. However, the increasing demand for higher throughput exposed the major flaws in the existing system:

1. Mesh Tearing: To gain the higher output needs to operate the sifter at higher RPM, by doing this it generate excessive pressure inside the system. Because of this inside pressure mesh tearing issue occurred repeatedly. It cause major downtime for repair or replace the mesh. This kind of frequent stoppages disrupt the whole production flow and adding significant amounts of operational cost.
2. Reduced Efficiency: The existing centrifugal sifter was failed to deliver the desired output with better efficiency and compromising the uniformity of the sieved powder. This inefficiency not only affected final yield but also came to be a bottle-neck in the production line.
3. Production Losses: Frequent mesh replacement and maintenance not only increased the production costs but also increased the production loss. It overall affects the company’s ability to fulfill the demand of the market.

Solution

Company wants centrifugal sifter only as the have limited space, Galaxy Sivtek proposed its advanced Roto Sifter 1350 to address the challenges faced by the customer.

• Reinforced Basket Design: To tackle the problem of mesh tearing, Galaxy Sivtek designed a special basket capable of withstanding pressure up to 10 bar. This robust construction minimized mesh tearing, ensuring uninterrupted operation and reducing downtime.
• High Throughput Capacity: The first and major issue was mesh tearing, to resolve this problem Galaxy Sivtek designed a special basket with capacity to handle the pressure up to 10 bar. This robust construction and designed minimized mesh tearing and ensuring the uninterrupted operation and reduced the downtime.
• Enhanced Sieving Efficiency: With the help of Sivtek Roto Sifter 1350 customer not only increased the throughput but efficiency rate near around 96% which ensures precise particles separation and high-quality feed powder ready for pellet formation.

Conclusion

The implementation of Sivtek Roto Sifter 1350 revolutionized the whole sieving process for the Philippines’s leading animal feed producer, this new system resolved their major production challenges successfully by:

• Eliminating Mesh Tearing: The robust basket design significantly extended the lifespan of the mesh and because of this it reduced the maintenance frequency and it’s the mesh related costs.
• Maximizing Throughput: Sivtek roto sifter has the capacity to sieve 10 tons per hour which ensures the higher throughput, it fulfill the customers need to fulfill the demand of the market effectively.
• Improving Efficiency: By using our machine, they achieve over 96% efficiency and enhanced overall product quality.

Galaxy Sivtek’s tailored solution enabled the customer to optimize sieving animal feed, reduce downtime, and maintain a competitive edge in the animal feed industry. The success of the Roto Sifter 1350 underscores Galaxy Sivtek’s commitment to providing innovative and reliable solutions for industrial challenges.
