Evonik solutions for fatty acids, organic acids and preservatives in feed premixes
Many of the essential ingredients in animal feeds, such as fatty acids and organic acids, are liquids. Silica as carrier improves the handling of all kinds of high-viscosity liquids in feed production by transforming them into free-flowing powders. This improves the handling of high-viscosity liquids, processing efficiency and the homogeneous distribution of ingredients in premixes.
SIPERNAT® and ZEOFREE® for highly concentrated absorbates
As a highly absorbent, chemically inert and physiologically harmless material, Evonik’s highly porous SIPERNAT® and ZEOFREE® precipitated silica grades have long proven to be outstanding carriers in animal feed processing. They are characterized by their enormous absorption capacity that converts liquid ingredients into powder or granulate premixes to enable their precise dosing. SIPERNAT® 50 and SIPERNAT® 2200 have been specifically engineered for the highest level of carrying capacity, forming dry liquid concentrates of up to 75 percent. All this ensures that both livestock and pets are accurately and consistently supplied with the necessary nutrients.
Silica carriers enable sustainable feed production
Synthetic amorphous silica is a naturally derived mineral ingredient. It is a safe, multi-purpose raw material for animal feed with a low environmental impact thanks to its sourcing and production processes. As carriers, SIPERNAT® and ZEOFREE® enhance economic efficiency and sustainability throughout the entire production process. The resulting ease of processing powdered ingredients in feed premixes conserves resources, as less raw material and energy are needed for premix formulations thanks to precise dosing – and less raw material is lost through clogging or caking.
