Sampling and Testing for the Animal Feed Industry
Automated sampling and testing equipment for compound feeds and additives
In the animal feed industry, everything revolves around consistency, food safety, and nutritional value. Any deviation in raw materials or product quality can have direct consequences for animal performance and for the reliability of your brand. With the automated sampling and testing solutions from WEMO-techniek, you maintain full control over your quality process, from raw material to finished product.
Why sampling is essential in the animal feed industry
To comply with the high requirements of GMP+, Gafta, NEN, and ISO, animal feed producers must demonstrably work according to standardized quality and traceability processes. This means:
- Representative samples of raw materials, meal, mash, and pellets.
- Retention of batch samples for traceability and potential NVWA or customer inspections.
- Reliable measurements, regardless of product characteristics or operator.
Automated sampling prevents human error, ensures no batch is skipped, and enables sampling at hard-to-reach points in the process. The earlier a sample is taken, the faster the production process can be adjusted; and with data integration via Innius, you also gain immediate insight into machine performance.
Sampling equipment for the animal feed sector
WEMO-techniek offers a wide range of robust, low-maintenance sampling systems specifically designed for the characteristics of animal feed products such as powders, (mash) meal, and pellets.
All equipment is available in stainless steel (304 or 316) and is suitable for harsh industrial conditions such as outdoor installation, dust, or abrasive products. Most devices can also be supplied with ATEX specifications.
