What is the function of an Automated Feed Flaker (AFF)?

An Automated Feed Flaker (AFF) serves the crucial purpose of transforming conditioned grain mash into flakes, which is an essential process in the feed industry for creating feed products that offer improved digestibility and nutritional value when compared to unprocessed grains. Through the flaking process, the AFF compresses and flattens the hydrated and heated grains between rotating rollers to form thin, consistent flakes. This mechanical alteration increases the grains' surface area, making them more accessible to animals' digestive enzymes, thereby enhancing metabolic efficiency and promoting better absorption of nutrients. The automated nature of such a machine ensures a high throughput with precise control over flake thickness and quality, leading to consistent end-products that are beneficial for livestock farming operations.
