The rational use of raw materials is the key to efficient feed production. Even minor losses at each stage can lead to significant financial losses for the enterprise as a whole. Modern technologies not only reduce these losses, but also increase overall production efficiency.

Main causes of raw material losses

Losses can occur at various stages: during transportation, storage, dosing, grinding, mixing and heat treatment. Main causes:

• inaccurate dosage of ingredients;
• worn-out or obsolete equipment;
• unstable operation of automated systems;
• staff errors;
• poorly organised logistics within production.

Understanding the sources of losses allows you to develop a strategy for eliminating them at the stage of planning the production process.

The role of automation and precise dosing

One of the most effective ways to reduce losses is to implement automatic dosing and continuous processing systems for raw materials. In this regard, it is worth paying attention to solutions from Selo, a company that specialises in equipment for:

• accurate and stable dosing of ingredients
• continuous heat treatment of raw materials;
• optimisation of recipes thanks to digital parameter control.

The use of such systems allows reducing excessive costs, avoiding human error and ensuring stable quality of finished products.

Grinding and homogenisation technologies

Losses during the grinding and mixing stages are often underestimated. Uneven structure and poor mixing reduce the yield of the finished product. Equipment from scansteel technologies solves these problems thanks to:

• highly efficient industrial meat grinders that preserve the structure of raw materials;
• universal mixers for working with different consistencies;
• homogenisers, which ensure uniformity at the micro level.

These solutions allow you to minimise technological losses and stabilise the process regardless of the complexity of the recipes.

Integration of solutions into the production process

To make loss reduction systematic, it is important not just to upgrade individual components, but to implement a comprehensive technological line. Integrated solutions based on Selo and scansteel technologies equipment provide:

• single control over all stages of production;
• automated response to deviations;
• reduction in downtime;
• reduction in the volume of rejects.

The result is coordinated work, minimised losses and predictable production results.

Economic impact and strategic advantages

In addition to direct savings in raw materials, the introduction of modern technologies provides a number of advantages for production:

• stable product quality;
• lower energy and maintenance costs;
• rapid return on investment in modernisation;
• strengthening positions in a competitive market.

These advantages are particularly important in the context of rising raw material prices and production accuracy requirements.

Modern technologies allow for a significant reduction in raw material losses in feed production. The key to success is automation, precise dosing, efficient grinding, and competent integration of all processes into a single system. Solutions from Selo and scansteel technologies enable companies to reach a new level of efficiency, saving every gram of valuable raw materials and ensuring production stability. By investing in modern equipment, you not only reduce costs — you increase the competitiveness of your production.
