ARTICLE FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE November 2024 63 stalled on hammer mills for on-farm applications. AGI believes there is added value to the operations and livestock, as the air assist aids in the movement of ground grain through the screens and to control dust in the operation. Without air assist, ground particles have difficulty exiting the grinding chamber and as a result, pulverization occurs and excessive fines are created, along with premature hammer wear. The hammer mill has an established ratio of cubic feet/minute of air to screen area equal to 1.25. This not only preserves the integrity of feed ingredients but also enhances overall quality, making it ideal for producers aiming to reduce waste and enhance grinding efficiency. Other benefits of the AGI FLEXmill include: • Precise ingredient dosing and faster batching times • Combination of various micro and macro storage and dosing options • Multiple ingredient scales and rapid batching capabilities allow for high throughput, enabling feed mills to achieve production capacities of up to 12 metric tonnes per hour • Amalgamation of roller mill if desired AUTOMATION AND DIGITAL TOOLS IN FEED PRODUCTION Automation has become an integral part of modern feed mills, reducing the need for manual labor and minimizing the risk of human error. AGI offers a range of solutions for automation to help give farmers precise control over various stages of production, from input storage and ingredient dosing to final product packaging. Providing this level of control not only helps improve feed quality, but also enhances workflow efficiency and reduces operational costs.
