Country Junction Feeds has produced animal feed products in Alberta, Canada for over 100 years. Today it offers a full line of organic wet and dry feeds for cattle, hogs, poultry, horses, bison, elk, goats and sheep. To improve batch consistency and prevent damage when adding liquids to fragile ingredients, the company installed a fluidized-bed type mixer on its "wet feed" production line.

Dry feed in raw or pelletized form is typically pre-blended in a 4400 lb (2000 kg) capacity mixer. The wet blending process adds oils and/or molasses to rolled oats, barley, pellets and "bull ration" calf feed for nutrition and palatability as well as dust control.

To blend dry ingredients with liquid additions in batches up to 660 lb (300 kg), the company installed a Munson model MF-18-SS fluidized bed mixer.

"Fluidized bed mixing brought more batch-to-batch consistency than the previous auger mixer," explains Mark Shantz, Country Junction’s maintenance manager, adding that it imparts less shear than the auger mixer, reducing product degradation, particularly with fragile materials.
