Filed:
May 15, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/472457
Inventors:
Bruce Dorendorf - Winnebago MN, US
Brian Caldwell - Mapleton MN, US
Brian Caldwell - Mapleton MN, US
International Classification:
A23K 1/00
US Classification:
426285, 425447
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods and devices for the formation of articles, for example pelletized articles, for use as animal feed or otherwise. In one exemplary embodiment, the present invention provides a process of forming animal feed. The process includes forming a mixture of hydrated alginate. The process further includes forming a mixture of ingredients to be pelletized, the mixture of ingredients being placed in a preconditioning chamber of a forming device. The process further includes atomizing and injecting the hydrated alginate into the preconditioning chamber to coat the mixture of ingredients. The process still further includes pelletizing the mixture of alginate coated ingredients, wherein the volume of atomized hydrated alginate applied to the mixture of ingredients is based upon one or more characteristics of the ingredients, one or more operating conditions of the forming device or both.
