Pelleting Automation Application for Feedmills

Sterling Systems & Controls, Inc. announces the availability of its pelleting automation application for feed mills. The application can be used to pellet feed material and other agricultural and industrial applications. While the pelleting process has historically been done manually, the Sterling Systems & Controls pelleting system uses your production requirements and formulas to create a customized and fully automated pelleting process.

Upon starting the main pellet mill motor, the Pellet Mill control application will start running the feeder at a predetermined speed when the idle condition on the pellet mill motor is reached. The startup feeder speed is determined by the hot or cold parameters. After the pellet mill electrical current threshold value is reached (shown on main pellet mill screen), the steam valve is opened to a present setting based on hot re cold die parameters. The Pellet Mill control application constantly evaluates the information. Feeder adjustments are made to bring the pellet mill electrical current to target levels. The feeder speed ramps up, and the steam valve is also ramped up. The feeder and steam adjustments continue until the current and mash temperature set-points are reached. This provides for smoother and faster achievement of maximum efficiency with minimum downtime.
