Break up DDG Clumps & Improve Material Flow
Scott Equipment DDG Deagglomeration Equipment helps ethanol producers break apart oversized DDG clumps, improve material consistency, and support smoother conveying, drying, storage, and loadout.
Built for demanding ethanol processing environments, each system can be configured around your DDG characteristics, moisture content, capacity, equipment layout, and downstream process.

What is DDG Deagglomeration Equipment?
DDG deagglomeration equipment breaks apart clumps and oversized material that form during dried distiller’s grains processing.
DDG can become sticky, compacted, or agglomerated during processing and material handling. Large clumps can interfere with conveying, drying, storage, mixing, and loadout.
A deagglomeration system reduces these oversized pieces into a more consistent, manageable material without requiring the entire product stream to be finely pulverized.
WHY DOES DDG NEED DEAGGLOMERATION?
DDG can be difficult to handle because its characteristics can change throughout the production process.
Moisture, temperature, particle size, handling, and storage conditions can cause material to stick together and form larger agglomerates.
Breaking up agglomerates before they reach critical downstream equipment can help maintain more consistent material flow throughout the process.
These clumps can create problems such as:
• Plugged or restricted conveyors
• Inconsistent material flow
• Uneven feeding
• Reduced drying consistency
• Material buildup
• Storage and loadout issues
• Increased downtime
• Oversized material in the finished product
BUILT FOR TOUGH DDG HANDLING
DDG processing equipment needs to handle material that can be sticky, abrasive, inconsistent, and difficult to move.
Scott Equipment designs heavy-duty DDG deagglomeration systems around the material and the ethanol production process requirements.
Improve Material Flow
Break apart oversized DDG clumps to create a more manageable material for conveying and downstream processing.
Support Consistent Drying
Create a more consistent feed that can support uniform material movement through the drying process.
Protect Downstream Equipment
Reducing oversized clumps can help limit plugging and buildup in conveyors and other downstream equipment.
Improve Finished Product Quality
Create a more uniform DDG product before storage, handling, or loadout.
BUILT AROUND YOUR PROCESS
Equipment can be designed around:
Capacity Needs
Moisture Content
Wet Cake or DDG Characteristics
Inlet and discharge layout
Existing plant layout
Upstream and downstream equipment
Maintenance access
Mild steel or stainless construction

Designed around your ethanol process
Every ethanol facility and DDG stream is different. Scott Equipment can design the deagglomeration system around factors including:
• Production capacity
• Incoming moisture content
• DDG or wet cake characteristics
• Agglomerate size
• Desired finished material
• Inlet configuration
• Discharge configuration
• Existing plant layout
• Upstream equipment
• Downstream equipment
• Maintenance access
• Material of construction

DDG DEAGGLOMERATION FAQs
What is DDG deagglomeration?
DDG deagglomeration is the process of breaking apart clumps or agglomerates that form during dried distiller’s grains processing. The goal is to create a more consistent and manageable material for downstream processing.
Why does DDG form clumps?
DDG can agglomerate because of factors including moisture, temperature, material characteristics, compression, and handling conditions throughout the ethanol production process.
What is the difference between deagglomeration and grinding?
Grinding reduces a material’s overall particle size. Deagglomeration primarily breaks apart clumps formed when smaller particles stick together or compact. This lets you reduce oversized DDG pieces without necessarily grinding the entire product finely.
Where can a DDG deagglomerator be installed?
Depending on the process, deagglomeration equipment can be incorporated before or after drying or ahead of conveying, storage, mixing, and loadout equipment.
Can DDG deagglomeration improve material flow?
Breaking apart oversized clumps can create a more consistent material that is easier to feed and convey through downstream equipment.
Can my DDG be tested before selecting equipment?
Yes. Material testing can help determine how your DDG responds to deagglomeration and inform the selection and configuration of production equipment.
