George Weston

In 2021, Ottevanger completed a new feed mill for George Weston Foods in Australia. With a total production capacity of 90 t/h, the plant is designed for the production of pig, poultry and ruminant feed.

The production process starts with intake, dosing and grinding. Two separate grinding lines, each with a capacity of 45 t/h, are equipped with disc mills to achieve the required feed structure before the ingredients move to the mixing section.

Two mixers provide the capacity required for consistent and efficient batch production. After mixing, the feed is distributed across three separate pelleting lines: two lines with a capacity of 35 t/h each and a third line with a capacity of 20 t/h. Together, the three lines provide a total pelleting capacity of 90 t/h and offer flexibility for producing different feed formulations.

The plant also includes an efficient bulk outloading system for the distribution of finished feed. An integrated plant layout and automation connect the different production stages, from raw material intake and dosing through grinding, mixing and pelleting to final bulk outloading.

The result is a high-capacity production facility that gives George Weston Foods the flexibility to efficiently manufacture feed for different animal species within a single plant.
