Feed & Flour Mills Solutions
Feed and flour mills are critical to the agri-food value chain, converting grains into essential products for human and animal consumption. Both require precise control of grinding, mixing, and packaging processes — along with traceability, hygiene, and efficient energy usage.
Our smart mill solution combines PLC/SCADA control, MES, and IoT technologies to provide centralized monitoring, automated production, and intelligent analytics. It enhances quality, ensures safety compliance, and optimizes operations across both feed and flour production lines.

Covers the shared and unique processes in both feed and flour operations:
-Intake & Cleaning: Raw grain intake, cleaning separators, de-stoners
-Grinding: Roller mills (flour), hammer mills (feed) with real-time RPM, vibration, and energy monitoring
-Mixing & Conditioning: Precise control of formula-based mixing, steam conditioning (feed), and enrichment dosing (flour)
-Pelleting (Feed): Press temperature, pressure, and die protection
-Sifting (Flour): Monitor sifter screen efficiency, flow rates, and quality checks
-Packaging: Bagging machines with integrated weight control, barcode/RFID labeling, and palletizing
