Dalein Agriplan's expertise in the pelleting process focuses on creating a pellet that is durable and tough enough to resist breakage during handling. Our pelleting press enables companies to pellet a wide variety of different raw materials. Pellet machines can be fitted with a twin or single conditioner with a recursion time barrel.

The pelleting process begins with a conditioning process where steam is homogeneously mixed with the ingredients at a temperature of up to 75°C. A knife system systematically cuts the pelletized product from the die and the still warm pellets proceed onwards for cooling.

Optimum meal preparation is essential for maximum press capacity. Meal, molasses and steam are mixed in the (conditioning) mixer to form a mixture that can easily be pressed. The entire supply of meal, steam and liquids is controlled by a fully automated PLC system.

Adding steam to the production process for animal feeds improves the compressibility (an increase in the press capacity of 20% is no exception) and the condition of the laying mash, among other things. Steam inactivates micro-organisms while the sensory properties (including aroma, taste and texture) of the product mix are retained.

For the production of high-quality (dry) steam – the quality is determined by pressure and temperature – PTN supplies steam lines and steam injection systems on mixers, presses, expanders and compactors.

Characteristic of the injection systems is the volume-increasing drainage vessel after the reducing unit in which a steam flash, and thus superheated dry steam, is generated.

The compact systems are available with a capacity of 150 - 2.500 kg/hr, are easy to install and use relatively little energy.

Automation is there to increase productivity, and/or quality beyond what that is possible with current human labour levels. Automation is the use of machines, control systems and information technologies to optimise productivity in the production of goods and delivery of services. Automation greatly increases load capacity, speed, and repeatability. It plays an increasingly important role in the world economy and in daily experience.

At Dalein Agriplan, we live by this definition. We have the know-how and the expertise to satisfy your customer-specific requirements which makes us your reliable partner for the supply of high-quality plant automation in accordance with the latest technical developments. All the solutions we supply are characterised by quality, thoroughness and reliability, complying with strict industrial standards and guidelines.

Our control systems are used by manufacturing plants and systems throughout the world. We pride ourselves in supplying from the smallest to the largest automation solutions and knowing, that we at Dalein Agriplan, are playing an important role in increasing the world's economy, is a daily experience.

Electronic System Wrights (Pty) Ltd. By Edwin van de Wiel (Managing Director) Specialising in Industrial Electronic Design and Manufacturing for Automation since 1988. Working with the Dalein Group companies from 1992 for Batch Weighing systems and currently have more than sixty sites running with our systems. The application of Y-Series controllers, our newest control system, are for cost effective Batch Weighing systems including Bulk Materials transport, Pellet Presses, Gross and Net Bagging as used in feed factories. As service to our clients we also design the electrical integration with the industrial plants and help to commission the systems. The Y-Series controller modules are very flexible and are used on standalone systems of between nine and 600 input/output points. These systems become very cost effective as 95% of the software is shared between projects, from the smallest to largest, offering bug free and reliable installation and operation. All the modules run on our real-time communications operating system (RTCOS) with the applications and OS written in "C" for reliability and easy maintenance. Other applications include energy efficient and accurate Industrial Chilling and Freezing, integrated with Energy and Building Management, and SCADA systems. Currently developing a high security Y-Series Gateway that will fully integrate with the internet for IoT and Cloud applications.

We offer a fat coating system that can enhance the energy and palatability of feed. Dalein Agriplan provides a batching fat coating system that consists of an inlet hopper that flows into a paddle mixer on load cells that can mix up to 20t/h. The fat coated product is then dispatched into a holding bin.

Fat is sprayed onto the pellets by a specially designed manifold. By accurately weighing the bulk to the specified weight the precise percentage of oil can then be used to coat the pellets with each batch.
