preventing the rollers slipping and the meal accumulated in front of the roller is milled away. The control system reduces downtime due to roller slip by 95%. If the mill stops due to another overload, the rollers can be retracted by the motor-operated roller adjustment and pressed against the die after start up so that the mill operates again quickly. The motor-operated adjustment of the rollers is even possible while the pellet mill is in full operation. With this active roller slip control the operator is offered the


opportunity to experiment with the roller distance and steam addition for the recipes to boost the feed quality and production efficiency. Operators can rely on this system while exploring the settings for the most optimum production.


Reduced feed costs Feed costs are mainly determined by a few components: the cost of raw materials, labour costs, energy prices, and depreciation, modernization or reinvestment in milling facilities. Feed millers globally are challenged to optimize performance, minimize energy consumption and lower maintenance costs and unplanned downtime. The new generation pellet mill helps feed millers by lowering


maintenance costs. The Van Aarsen CU Dynamic pellet mill is equipped with a die cleaning mode so that the operator can clean the die easily whenever necessary. The meal does not have the opportunity to cake onto the die, which results in a quick start-up of the pellet mill. As the rollers retract automatically after each product, there is less wear of the die and rollers and their life is increased by up to 30%.

Payback time less than two years The new CU Dynamic pellet mill from Van Aarsen International increases flexibility and pellet quality and reduces downtime. This results in an increase in production capacity and also savings on maintenance and equipment. If required, existing Van Aarsen mills can be upgraded to the new advanced CU Dynamic.

I’ANSON WELCOMES INTERNATIONAL FARMERS TO MILL


I’Anson has been selected to showcase the UK’s innovation in farming and agriculture to a worldwide audience. The Masham-based company hosted a 66-strong group of global farming professionals as part of a nationwide tour of the UK’s most successful agricultural businesses. The group visited ahead of the International Farm Management Association’s (IFMA) annual congress in Edinburgh in July.


Hailing from the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, the farmers also visited the town’s famous Black Sheep brewery before heading to the mill to find out more about I’Anson’s unique manufacturing processes. Chris I’Anson, Managing Director of the company, said: “The IFMA congress is a fantastic opportunity for farming professionals


from all over the world to get together and share best practice. It’s an honour to be chosen as one of the places to visit on the tour of the UK as we really were in excellent company. I hope we’ve managed to give our visitors a sense of the combination of tradition and innovation our business prides itself on.” Richard Cooksley, Secretary of the IFMA and organiser of the tour, said: “This tour was all about giving our visitors a flavour of what


the UK does best. I’Anson is a shining example of the best of Britain and goes to show what can be achieved by family-run businesses if they consistently deliver a high quality product. The visitors were afforded a real insight into the company and left full of praise for their approach.” Elsewhere on the week-long trip,


visitors were treated to tours around university departments, dairy plants, the Land Rover production facility and even a Christmas tree plantation.
