Triott to hold two special sessions on conditioning on its Feed Forward Webazine

Triott Group will hold two special episodes of its Feed Forward Webazine focusing on the whole conditioning process: from the boiler room to the steam dosing unit, the conditioning operation, the expander and the pellet line. The event will be live-streamed by Triott Group together with IVS, Almex and PTN.

The first episode It all starts with steam will be held on May 11 at 11 am CET and will focus on the importance of super-heated, dry steam to the conditioning process. Viewers will learn how good quality steam can solve a variety of problems in the feed mill from poor pellet quality to production breakdowns and bottlenecks and reduced capacity. The IVS Steam Team will answer viewers’ questions and demonstrate how the unit works while a leading customer will share their own insights and experiences.

The second episode will be on June 15 at 11 am CET and will discuss the factors for conditioning success and the variables that feed mills need to consider. It will then guide viewers through the entire conditioning process in a simple, practical way, explaining when and how to use different conditioning equipment and set-ups.

“Increasingly, we see feed mill customers grappling with the challenges of choosing the right conditioning system and asking us questions about how to make the right choice,” said Erik Ottevanger, Triott director. “Despite the critical role of both the conditioning and steam dosing processes in the feed mill, it’s clear that some mystery remains – for good reason. There is no “one size fits all” solution. The variables are often very complex and there is a wide choice of different systems available. With this two-part special, we want to open up the “black box” of conditioning and give our viewers a practical insight into how they can unlock more value from the entire process.”

The first episode will discuss:

How and why the steam dosing is so essential to the overall conditioning process and the typical benefits it can provide.
Independent sight from Jan Grohn, production manager at German feed manufacturer, AgriV, who will explain the advantages of steam and how operational aspects have been improved through better quality steam.
An overview of the bigger picture from conditioning specialist PTN, covering fundamental factors that need to be considered.
A demonstration of how the steam dosing unit works and how the IVS system is able to achieve consistently high performance, with technical director and IVS “Steam Doctor” Hans den Otter.

“At IVS we have spent 30 years understanding steam, so we’re delighted to have this opportunity to share this expertise with Feed Forward viewers,” said managing director of IVS, Frank Dielissen. “Steam holds the key to boosting the quality and quantity of every process in compound feed and pet food. It really does “all start with steam” and we are looking forward to explaining how and why in a practical way.”
