Horizontal design of animal feed production plants
A more efficient way to design your animal feed plant
At SKIOLD, we design animal feed production plants tailored to each customer’s specific needs. Drawing on decades of international experience, we focus primarily on solutions with a horizontal design, where processes are organised to create an efficient, accessible and future-proof production flow.
A smart plant design affects not only production capacity, but also ease of operation, day-to-day maintenance and long-term profitability.
Why does SKIOLD favour a horizontal design?
An animal feed production plant can be designed using either a vertical or horizontal concept. Whilst vertical plants place much of the equipment in towers, the horizontal design arranges the equipment in a more accessible and logical layout within the building.
Having designed and built numerous animal feed plants around the world, SKIOLD believes that the horizontal design offers significant advantages for many producers.
Greater accessibility and easier day-to-day operations
A horizontally designed plant facilitates access to equipment and improves mobility within the facility.
This enables:
✓ Easier maintenance
✓ Faster access to equipment
✓ More efficient movement of people and materials
✓ A safer and more practical working environment
Good accessibility reduces downtime and facilitates the day-to-day management of the plant.
Optimised production flow
The horizontal design allows manufacturing processes to be organised in a logical and efficient manner.
Raw material reception, cleaning, grinding, dosing, mixing and storage can be integrated to create an optimised production flow.
The result is a plant that is easier to manage, with a better overview of the process and more efficient operation.
Lower construction costs
Vertical plants typically require taller buildings and more complex structures. The horizontal design can reduce the need for elevated structures and simplify installation.
This can contribute to a more efficient initial investment and a more cost-effective solution in the long term.
Ready for future production needs
A feed manufacturing plant must be able to evolve alongside the business’s needs.
SKIOLD designs flexible solutions that can be adapted to different production capacities, new processes and future expansions.
Proper planning from the outset enables the creation of a plant that is ready to grow alongside the producer.
Design based on experience and process knowledge
An efficient feed mill requires much more than simply selecting the right equipment. The overall process design is crucial to achieving stable, cost-effective and high-quality production.
SKIOLD combines expertise in engineering, process technology and knowledge of feed manufacturing to develop comprehensive solutions tailored to each project.
