TEHRAN - A new flicker micronizer line was put into operation by an Iranian knowledge-based company to produce livestock and poultry feed grains.
The flicker micronizer technology operates based on the thermal processing of human and livestock feed grains with infrared radiation, allowing for improved digestion and absorption of nutrients in the digestive tract of livestock and poultry, increasing feed efficiency, and improving performance.
The importance of this innovation is twofold, specially in a situation where a significant part of the livestock and poultry feed industry is dependent; therefore, using this technology, in addition to reducing dependence on imports, creates high economic added value for the country.
“Only in the past year, three new contracts worth 450 billion rials were signed with the private sector, indicating the high commercialization potential of this product,” said the chairman of the board of directors of the Iranian knowledge-based company.
Fluid (Air) Jet Mill or Micronizer works on the principle of ‘particle to particle collision’ taking place under the influence of induced fluid or air turbulence. A high pressure fluid (mostly Air) is introduced tangentially inside a closed metal basket called Milling Chamber. A feeding nozzle connecting the feeder chamber, milling chamber and ventury nozzle at an angle, under the influence of another stream of fluid (air) pressure pushes the feed material inside the milling chamber. Under the high pressurized air flow inside a closed space, the particles are forced to colloid with each other and on the walls of the milling chamber, thus, reducing in size.
The centrifugal and centripetal forces acting on each particle travelling in a rotational motion pushes the large size particle to stay closer to the inner calls of the chamber and the lighter or smaller particles to gather at the center of the milling chamber.
The exhaust pipe at the center carries the stream of ligher particles to the cyclone separator or series of cylone separators, which also contains a series of bag filters for arresting the fine powder particles and letting off the low pressure air.
