Scott Equipment for the Animal Nutrition Industry

 The animal nutrition mixing and storage industry can be quite busy. Whether it’s a poultry feed mill in rural Thailand, a cattle feeding facility in southwest Kansas, or a commercial feed mill in the Midwest, Scott Equipment provides the latest equipment in mixing technology and agricultural bulk storage systems worldwide.

Scott Equipment Company continually innovates and develops agricultural processing equipment to meet the increasing demands of today’s high-volume, precision-focused feed mills. The Scott Twin Shaft Mixer (TSM) and the Scott Square Bins are just two examples of industry-leading innovations from Scott Equipment that help participants in the animal nutrition mixing and storage industry meet global demands that require safe and accurate feed supply.

Here’s an overview of key industrial-scale equipment used in the animal nutrition industry, especially in feed and pet food manufacturing:

Raw materials storage

  • Silos and hoppers: For bulk storage of grains,  meals,  and vitamins/trace minerals – cust

  • Cleaning/separating units: Screens, magnetic separators, and aspiration systems to remove stones, metals, and dust.

  • Custom Sizes available in steel and fabrics – carbon and stainless steel

Size reduction

  • Grinders (hammer mills, crushers): Reduce particle size for digestibility and mixing; hammer mills handle softer ingredients, rollers work for harder materials

Mixing & blending

  • Feed mixers (Twin and single shaft mixers): Ensure even nutrient distribution—critical for consistent quality

  • Custom sizes and machines designed to specific applications

Drying & cooling

  • Coolers: Remove moisture post-pelleting to prevent spoilage

  • Dryers: Belt dryers, vacuum dryers, fluidized bed dryers—optimize moisture and temperature control .

Coating

  • Coating machines: Apply fats, oils, vitamins to pellets or kibble—common in pet food line (Tenderblend, High Speed Blender, Pugmill)

Auxiliary systems

  • Conveyors: Screw and flat bottom drag conveyors

  • Quality control: Metal detectors, X-ray, and weight systems ensure safety and compliance

  • Automation & controls: Sensors, real-time monitoring, SCADA/PLC improve consistency, energy use, modularity

Animal Nutrition Industry Equipment

Twin Shaft Mixer

In the animal nutrition industry, twin shaft mixers are used to quickly and uniformly blend feed ingredients such as grains, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and additives. They excel at incorporating both dry materials and liquids like oils or molasses, ensuring consistent nutrition in every batch. With short mixing times, high homogeneity, and fast discharge, twin shaft mixers improve efficiency in feed mills while reducing cross-contamination, making them ideal for producing high-quality livestock, pet, and specialty feeds.

Single Shaft Mixer

Within the animal nutrition industry, single shaft mixers play an important role in producing balanced feed by blending grains, protein sources, minerals, and vitamins into a uniform mix. While they typically require longer mixing times compared to twin shaft designs, they remain highly effective for standard livestock diets. Single-shaft mixers can also incorporate liquid additives such as oils, fats, or molasses and are valued for their straightforward design, dependability, and cost efficiency, making them a practical choice for many feed operations.

Surge Hopper

Surge hoppers are used as intermediate storage vessels to regulate the flow of materials between processing steps. They provide a buffer that ensures a steady, controlled discharge of feed ingredients into mixers, pellet mills, or packaging lines. By holding mixed or unmixed materials temporarily, surge hoppers help improve efficiency, prevent bottlenecks, and maintain consistent production rates. Their ability to manage flow and reduce downtime makes them an essential component in feed mill operations.

Tender Blend

Tender Blend mixers are designed for gentle yet thorough blending of fragile feed ingredients. They are instrumental when handling vitamins, minerals, and specialty additives that require even distribution without product degradation. By minimizing shear and heat generation, Tender Blend mixers preserve the integrity of sensitive materials while still achieving a uniform mix. This makes them a strong choice for producing high-quality animal feeds, premixes, and specialty diets where ingredient protection is critical.

Scott Equipment Company Reel Scalper

Reel Scalper

In the animal nutrition industry, a reel scalper serves as a pre-cleaning tool that removes oversized particles, clumps, and foreign materials such as sticks, husks, or debris from bulk ingredients. By screening and conditioning grains and other raw materials, it helps safeguard downstream equipment like mixers and pellet mills, while also improving feed quality and consistency. This ensures smoother processing and more reliable production in feed mill operations.

Scott Equipment Pit Eliminator Conveyor

Pit Eliminator Conveyor

A pit eliminator conveyor is used to efficiently move bulk ingredients such as grains, meals, or finished feed without the need for deep in-ground pits. Designed for durability and heavy-duty use, it provides a reliable way to convey large volumes of material while minimizing maintenance and operational issues. By eliminating the hazards and costs associated with traditional pit systems, these conveyors improve safety, streamline material handling, and enhance overall efficiency in feed mill operations.

A Scott Equipment High Speed Blender

High Speed Blender

A high speed blender is used to quickly and thoroughly mix feed ingredients, including powders, vitamins, minerals, and other micro-ingredients. Its rapid, intensive mixing action ensures uniform distribution, even of small or hard-to-blend components, making it ideal for premixes and specialty feeds. By achieving consistent homogeneity in a short time, high speed blenders help feed mills maintain reliable product quality and precise nutritional content in every batch.

Modular Bulk Storage Bins

Bulk storage bins are used to store large quantities of feed ingredients, such as grains, protein meals, and premixes, before they are processed or mixed. They provide a controlled, organized, and safe way to manage inventory while protecting materials from contamination, moisture, and pests. By ensuring a steady supply of raw materials, bulk storage bins enable feed mills to maintain consistent production rates and enhance overall operational efficiency.

SCE Bulk Sanitary Silos

SCE sanitary silos are used to store and dispense bulk feed ingredients such as grains, protein meals, and premixes while maintaining strict hygiene standards. Their sanitary design prevents contamination from dust, pests, and moisture, ensuring feed safety and quality. By providing controlled storage and efficient discharge, these silos help feed mills maintain consistent production, reduce waste, and meet stringent regulatory requirements for animal nutrition products.
