The new plant will manufacture Trouw Nutrition and Farmix products in what is one of the most technically evolved and advanced production facilities in the industry. Thanks to its modern systems of dosage, mixing and packing, it will fully embrace the European regulation on feed hygiene (EC: No 183/2005). Further, the plant will be FAMI-QS and GMP compliant, in line with the ‘best practice’ codes of production in the European Community.
The feed specialties plant covers a surface area of 4,600 square metres and comprises an area for raw material stocking and dosage, a processing tower, a finished products warehouse and offices. The processing tower is 32 m high to guarantee a vertical flow of the process, which minimises the risk of cross contamination between products. The dosage system utilises the principle of ‘loss in weight’, assuring a high production capacity as the calibration of raw material happens simultaneously. The plant also features an automatic labelling system, which cuts manual error in the selection and application of labels while enabling complete traceability of products and assuring elevated safety standards.
Nutreco continues to invest in quality in every single phase of the manufacturing cycle from the selection of raw materials to research, to excellence throughout the production process to the finished product and cllient delivery. Its products offer the industry an essential added value: great effectiveness united with the highest environmental and feed-to-food safety standards.
