FlexMill by AGI - Key Features and Benefits

Overview

  • FlexMill: AGI's solution for feed production on medium to large farms or for retail applications.
  • Adaptable for both new and renovated facilities.
  • Can be combined with AGI overhead bin system and storage tanks for a complete solution.

Design and Installation

  • Components designed for bolt-together rapid installation without specialized construction techniques.
  • AGI can design and plan entire feed mill facilities around the FlexMill.

Feed Ingredients Handling

  • Ingredients delivered by truck; unloaded via receiving drag conveyor.
  • Receiving System:
    • Metering inlet in receiving pit regulates product flow.
    • Moves materials via drag conveyor to bucket elevator.
  • Bucket Elevator:
    • Elevates product to facility top.
    • Two-way valve routes product to bulk storage or distributor.

Storage and Distribution

  • Bulk storage bins filled by drag conveyor with inlet gates.
  • Options to load directly from truck or bulk storage for future use.
  • Features smooth internal bin walls and large openings for mass flow and prevention of product bridging.

Automation and Control

  • Fully automated control system minimizes operator intervention.
  • Improves weighing accuracy and system throughput.
  • Maintains detailed operational records for traceability and quality assurance.
  • Partnering with global feed mill automation specialists for service and support.
  • Compatible with CMC hazard monitoring platform for dust explosion prevention and equipment protection.

Weighing and Mixing

  • Multiple scales for grain, micro, and protein ingredients.
  • Simultaneous weighing of three ingredients with surge hoppers to minimize transfer times.
  • Macro and Micro Ingredients:
    • Macro ingredients that require grinding go to grain scale.
    • Non-grind macro ingredients go to soft stock scale.
    • Micro dosing system for low inclusion products.
  • HammerMill:
    • 40 to 75 horsepower options with variable speed.
    • AirAssist dust collection for efficiency and dust control.
  • Mixer:
    • Horizontal paddle style for rapid, complete mixing and liquid inclusion.

Production Capacity

  • Throughput ranges from 8 to 12 batches/hour or 8 to 12 tons/hour.
  • Sequential processing allows continuous operation.

Batch Processing

  • Features repeat batching automation for optimal weight and mix accuracy.
  • Dynamic ECO system enhances accuracy, minimizes waste, and supports regulatory compliance.
  • Modular batching system design allows future expansion.

Conclusion

  • Provides a cost-effective, efficient solution between simple farm grind/mix and commercial feed mill capacity.
  • Long-term value-add investment for quality and efficiency.
