Taking the Advantages
of Vacuum Infusion
and Making them Better…
UAS introduces a state-of-the-art Vacuum Infusion System
that takes functionality to new levels. No other system can boast the advantages
that are standard with the UAS Vacuum Infusion System.
This system has been designed to meet the individual and often changing
needs of the end customer. With it, UAS has met the challenge
of vacuum processing fragile extruded feed without product damage or fines
generation.
The full potential of vacuum infusion has yet to be realized. UAS Vacuum
Infusion Systems are being used in the field to create new products that
are only possible through the use of this process. The ability to achieve
fat levels to 40% and add expensive micro-additives after extrusion and
drying are but a few of the advantages of vacuum infusion.
With our advanced equipment and extremely flexible control system, it
is possible for the user to produce new and innovative products completely
in-house. This helps to secure these innovations from competitors ensuring
leading edge market advantage.
The UAS Vacuum Infusion System was designed with larger, and generally
more fragile, pellets in mind. Our system handles varying pellet sizes
without degradation by permitting user defined product specific parameter
settings.
The UAS Vacuum Infusion System’s design concept imitates the gentle
operation of conventional drum-type top dressers that have been accepted
as the industry standard for many years. Our standard design with its many
features is the most gentle handling vacuum infusion mixer available.
Fabricated in our workshops by highly qualified technicians to the exacting
standards of our in-house engineering staff, the Vacuum Infusion System
reflects UAS ’ commitment to excellence. Leaving nothing to chance,
we build each vessel with only the best components, with no expense spared
in our goal of creating a tough, reliable, low maintenance product.
The UAS Model 4296 Vacuum Infusion System provides the ability to process
dry extruded animal feeds in batch sizes from 250 to 800 kilograms.
For typical high fat infusion applications (30-40% final fat content),
product throughput rates in excess of 12,000 kilograms of dry pellets per
hour can be achieved with this model.
Larger and smaller capacity units are also available.
Need to know what’s going on? Animated graphics provide the user with
instant system status at a glance.
The Control Program’s comprehensive reporting capabilities will show
you not only the levels requested, but also the levels actually achieved
by the system during the Vacuum Infusion process. Reports are then stored
to allow printing and archiving of any desired information.
Equipped with an Allen Bradley Programmable Logic Controller (PLC),
the Vacuum Infusion System is not only easy to use, it is extremely powerful.
Through the use of "Touch Screen" technology, it allows the user
to create a number of production "recipes" with advanced control
of oil delivery time, vacuum setpoint, vacuum release time, batch size,
mix time and mixer speed, number of cycles, selection of liquid delivery
nozzles, liquids mixing time, order of application, etc.
Accuracy is assured through the use of patented state-of-the-art weigh
scale technology and monitored by the UAS Control Program. Advanced diagnostic
capabilities and user level password protection round out a program that
is truly revolutionary.
Innovative features make this system the most functional available.
Our proprietary gate design (patent pending) will give you years of low
maintenance and consistent sealing.
UAS Vacuum Mixers are built to exacting design tolerances in a unique
round geometry, to prevent product damage. Our "zero clearance"
paddle design ensures complete mixer emptying, even with pellets as small
as 1mm in diameter. This, combined with our proven mixing paddle design,
allows the mixer to achieve accurate, complete, repeatable mixing at low
agitation speeds.
Our infusion system incorporates a mixer tilt function that can be used
on a batch-by-batch basis or at the end of a product run to further guarantee
complete mixer emptying.
The UAS liquid/dry ingredients batching system does away
with expensive, complicated, maintenance intensive flow meters. Our approach
to the ingredients proportioning problem reflects our "keep it simple
and reliable" design philosophy, while at the same time providing
the user unparalleled flexibility of operation.
Our programmers and engineers love a challenge! Bring us your special
needs and we can custom design our system to meet them. UAS
has been meeting the needs of feed processors around the world for over
three decades!
