A conditioner and a method are disclosed for the production of food or animal foodstuffs. The conditioner includes at least one detention element and a mixer which is located thereabove, and is provided with a dosing element. The mixer and the detention element have the same face plates enabling them to be connected to each other on at least one front side.

Conditioner

The invention relates to a pelleting press for the production of feed pellets for the like. The aim of the invention is to enable easy and economical separation of the mold in order to change said molds. This is achieved in that guided clamping elements () are arranged between the mold () and a pressure ring () of the mold carrier () in such a way that they can be displaced axially () so that the mold () can be released and clamped by axial displacement by means of a flat contact surface between the screws () of the clamping segments () and the pressure ring ().

Pelleting press

The invention relates to a method and an installation for cooling bulk products, especially pellets or feed cubes. In order to accelerate possible product replacement, the formed pellets are cooled in two steps, a precooler () directly following the forming device (). A secondary cooling process is only carried out after sifting or breaking and sifting.

Method and system for cooling food or feed products

The invention relates to a method for the vertical mixing of gaseous, liquid, powdery and/or pasty products using, for example, a hollow shaft and inner shaft arranged in a housing, whereby paddle-shaped mixing tools are provided on the hollow shaft and on the inner shaft there is provided a discharge device arranged below an outlet of the mixer. The mixer is thereby completely filled in the operating state and the product and additives are pressed onto the inner wall of the housing by means of the mixing tools. The product flows continuously downwards under the force of gravity and acts against the partly backward-conveying paddles. The continuous product flow is regulated using a rotary slide valve provided at the outlet. The mixer is especially suitable as a dosing device and/or for lubricating extruder and/or expander products.
