The Forberg Twin Shaft Paddle Batch Mixer creates a fluidization zone where the components are efficiently mixed into a precise homogeneous mixture. Each Forberg Mixer is custom engineered to fit the best possible way into a new or existing production line. We have numerous available optional equipment such as liquid spraying, abrasion resistance, acid-proof steel, lump breaking, product sampling, insulation, heating, etc.

With years of experience as a supplier of industrial machines, Forberg has designed the Batch Mixer to complies with all relevant international machine standards.

The Continuous Mixer has many of the same properties as the Forberg® Batch Mixer. It is very gentle with the products, has low energy consumption, high capacity, little space requirement, and flexible filling level. Throughput is a significant as the average retention time is approximately one minute.

For obtaining good mixing quality in a continuous mixer, an accurate feeding of the ingredients is demanded. Continuous mixers are suitable for mixing a limited number of components. One or two different liquids can be sprayed onto the product mixtures.

The main and unique advantage of rotating mixers over standard stationary mixers is the ability to install an automated Cleaning in Place (CIP) system. Other practical, operational benefits include removed discharge doors – no particle breakage, closed system and always perfectly mixed.

The fully automatic CIP system is very convenient to operate for processes with zero-tolerance for cross contamination between different recipes or where hygiene is of upmost importance. The automated CIP system will save many hours of manual labor. Push the button, and during a 30 minutes lunch break, the machine is clean and ready for a new recipe.

Today Forberg® produces the third generation of Forberg Coaters, which have found their applications in many industries outside of aquafeed. Anywhere where you have extruded pellets that need high penetration core coating, the RVC is used. Pet food, fish feed, shrimp feed, poultry feed, muesli and snacks are typical products coated in our machine.

The unique feature of the Forberg RVC is the fully automated Cleaning in Place (CIP) system, very convenient for processes with zero-tolerance for cross contamination between different recipes such as medicated feed production. Push the button, and during a 30 minutes lunch break, the machine is clean and ready for a new recipe.

Other practical, operational benefits include removed discharge doors – no pellet breakage, closed system, powder addition and always perfectly mixed.

The product is dried by blowing hot air through the mechanically fluidized product. The mechanical fluidization ensures that all product particles are surrounded by the drying medium (hot, warm, cold air, inert gas, etc.) and effective transmission of energy occurs. Consequently, moisture is extracted from the product. The reliable and repeatable process gives the same perfect quality product after each batch.

Various industrial processes such as mixing, drying, cooling, micro granulation and liquid addition can be done in the Forberg Drying System. This system is both FDA and EFSA approved. Forberg International provides solutions, which meet the economical, environmental and technological criteria of today.

The Forberg Steam Heat Treatment System is used for production of premium feed for layers. Heat treatment of mash feed kills salmonella and significantly reduces bacterial spores. The final product is a high quality feed with a perfect structure for the layers. Research has proven better suitability of mash feed compared to pelleted and crumbled feed.

Coarsely ground grains, with an ideal structure for layers, are steamed in the Forberg® Mixer/Conditioner equipped with steam nozzles. While the components are mixed to perfect homogeneity and steam is injected, the Forberg® Mixer heats the product to the desired temperature above 86°C. The temperature is maintained over a certain period of time to kill salmonella and other pathogens.

After the heat treatment, the Forberg® Mixer discharges directly into a Forberg® Dryer/Cooler. In the Forberg® Dryer/Cooler, the moisture and temperature are brought back to the desired levels. The product is dried/cooled by blowing hot/cool air through the mechanically fluidized product. The reliable and repeatable process gives the same perfect quality product after each batch. After drying and cooling, heat sensitive components such as vitamins, enzymes, acids, flavor or pharmaceuticals can be added.

The mixture is now ready for packaging, bulk loading or intermediate storage.

Included in the mill is also a grate of choice, propeller and knives. The grate (grid) can be delivered with various light openings to achieve various sizes of the granules.Due to the knives and the grate, the fibres are cut and not crushed. This system also secures a high output and controlled milling.

We have delivered a number of these mills for Glass-wool and Stone-wool. This mill has proven to be very reliable. Tests made with this mill have shown that compared to the hammer mill, we will deliver 10% larger volume of any comparable quantity of wool going into the mill.

The reason for this is that the Forberg mill is relatively slow rotating and does not hammer and crush the fibers.

Airflow and product is separated and air is re-circulated back to the mill.  This helps reduce dust discharge from the system and pressure induced weighing variation.

Capacity if evenly fed is estimated up to 1500 kg/hr but will vary with the size of the grid openings.
