1.4 Application of the machine

The conditioner is designed for the conditioning of animal feed composed of
vegetable and animal raw materials prior to the pelleting or extrusion procedure.
Additionally, the conditioner can be used for the fibre conditioning of biomaterial
prior to the pelleting. Due to the large volume of the conditioner, the meal material
is ensured a large retention time, which is optimized by means of the adjustable
conditioner paddles.
The machine adds steam to the meal in order to heat, moisturize and activate
the binding constituents of the meal prior to any further processing. Additionally,
the conditioner can be applied to add various liquids to the meal during the
conditioning process.
The conditioner is intended for the steam conditioning of mealy materials only.
This means that all material must be ground and homogeneous prior to the
conditioning.
The maximum meal outlet temperature and moisture content depend on the
maximum steam flow as well as material properties, such as initial temperature,
moisture content and steam absorption ability.
DEMANDS ON The raw material must be dry, ground and have a reasonable flowing ability
MATERIALS (density of 200-800 kg/m³) achieve the intended conditioner functioning.
The meal may not contain hard foreign objects, such as stones, bolts, nuts, etc.
Therefore, it is important to install separators at the machine front, so that foreign
matters are separated, before the meal reaches the conditioner.
The conditioner may not be used for other purposes than the conditioning of meal.
If there is any doubt, whether or not a given feed mixture can be conditioned,
please contact ANDRITZ’s technical department for further information.
DEFENITION OF The ATEX zone description appears in the EC declaration, in the manual and
ATEX ZONE the nameplate on the machine.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
4.1 Machine functioning

FUNCTIONING The conditioner is designed for the steam conditioning of material prior to the
further downstream pelleting, extrusion or other processing. The machine
processes ground material for animal feed and biomass applications.
The feeder screw feeds the material into the conditioner inlet. The paddles on
the mixing shaft will throw the material into the air for easy absorption of steam.
Some paddles will push material forward and some will retain material.
Eventually the material will leave the conditioner through the outlet in the
opposite end.
The steam manifold creates a plenum for all the steam valves to be connected.
This allows a manual optimization of the steam addition into the material.
Liquids, such as fat, molasses, water etc., can also be added through the steam valves.
The steam supply sequence is described in chapter 5 in this manual.
The conditioner is usually placed before the pellet mill, expander or extruder.
However, the conditioner can also be applied in many other contexts. Several
conditioners can be applied for an increased retention time and additional
processing. Additionally, it is possible to install a CRT after the conditioner for a
controlled retention time.
An ordinary pelleting line flow design consists of: pre-bin, feeder screw,
conditioner, CRT, equalizer and pellet mill (see chapter 4.8, Typical function with
other machines).

CLEANING The cleaning procedure should take place regularly during production to ensure
DEVICE the correct functioning of the steam control.
START It is important to ensure an unrestricted condensate return flow.
1. Ensure that the low level sensor in the pre-bin is active.

2. Set the steam regulation valve to 0 and close the on-off valve.
3. Start the mixing shaft motor.
4. Start the downstream process equipment (pellet mill or extruder).
5. Start the feeder screw at low speed.
6. Open the steam on-off valve.
7. Start the PID regulation loop.
BASIC The level sensors in the pre-bin must be active before starting the steam addition.
REGULATION
PRINCIPLE The steam motor valve regulates the flow of steam into the conditioner
manifold. The opening degree of the motor valve is controlled by the meal
outlet temperature set point. Increase the steam flow in order to increase
outlet temperature and vice versa. Consequently, a steam flow increase will
automatically increase the feeder screw capacity.
Alternatively, the steam regulation valve (steam flow) can be controlled by the
speed of the feeder screw.
At a very low capacity the mixing shaft speed can be regulated by using a
frequency drive to slow down and thus compensate for the low filling degree.
An overload and consequent stop of the conditioner motor may occur, which is
usually caused by congestion due to a poor combination of paddle configuration,
capacity and material flow properties. The paddles must always be adjusted by
using the highest capacity and the most sticky and heavy material.
FINES BIN The optional fines bin contains undersized particles (fines bin) and oversized
particles from the sifter as well as fines from the cooler air separator (cyclone or
filter).
When the pre-bin is empty the contents of the fines bin should be processed
without steam conditioning.
STOP The pre-bin empty level sensor signals end of batch.
1. Stop the PID regulation loop.
2. Close the on-off steam valve.
3. Stop the feeder screw.
4. Stop the mixing shaft motor.
5. Stop the downstream process equipment.

4.5 Process principle

The conditioner uses dry steam to simultaneously heat and moisturize the
material. Thereby the naturally occurring binding agents, such as starch, protein
or lignin are activated prior to any further processing. The steam conditioning
process increases the pressability of the meal and thus improves the capacity of
the processing line and the end product quality (pellet durability).
An optimum process depends on the following parameters:

- Temperature
- Time
- Humidity
- Paddle adjustment
STEAM The steam manifold distributes the steam to the meal according to the absorption
MANIFOLD capacity of the meal. The pressure in the steam manifold should be close to 0 bar.
The large manifold contains several regulation valves for flexible and optimum
distribution of the steam in the meal. Excessive opening of the initial steam valves
may cause a steam backflow up through the feeder screw and a blocage of the
feeder screw.
STEAM The steam valves can optionally be fitted with integrated flat nozzles for the
VALVES addition of molasses, fat, oil, water, enzymes, vitamins etc. for optimum and
homogeneous liquid absorption in the meal.
MIXING SHAFT The paddles on the rotating mixing shaft will lift the meal up into the air to allow
the steam to heat and moisturize the meal particles. Some paddles will move meal
forward while other paddles will retain meal. This combination will give a certain
average retention time, i.e. the time required for heat and moisture to activate the
binding agents in the meal. The meal will be moved forward by the paddles and
more or less passively be led out the conditioner through the outlet in the opposite
end of the inlet.
Type CM
REGULATION The regulation of the conditioner takes place only on the steam motor valve that
is regulated by the temperature sensor located in the conditioner outlet. This can
optionally be supplied with an automatic cleaning device to prevent a material
accumulation, which may obstruct the proper functioning of the regulation loop and
the conditioner.
A long retention time in the conditioner should be preferred, which is measured by

stopping the conditioner and weighing the material content, as the retention time
is similar to the filling degree. Consequently, the following formula can be used to
estimate the average retention time:
Material in conditioner [kg]

Capacity [kg/h] *3600 = Retention time [sec.]
The retention time can be optimized by changing the paddle angle from forwards
to backwards in order to throw the material approx 2/3 backwards in the
conditioner. This adjustment should only take place in case of high capacities and
materials with a poor flowing ability (sticky).
Even though the material has reached a certain temperature and moisture content,
a prolonged retention time will facilitate the subsequent processing steps. For
example, increased durability of pellets from both extruders and pellet mills as well
as increased capacities, which is due to the increased activation of the natural
binding agents in the meal (starch, protein or lignin) as a function of particle size,
time, temperature and humidity.
STEAM A steam addition of 1% will increase the material moisture content by 1% and as
ADDITION a rule of thumb increase the temperature by 14oC. However if the steam flow is
too high for the material to absorb it, this will create a positive pressure inside the
conditioner. This will be easily recognisable on steam escapes from doors and
bearing seals. Consequently, the bearing seals will be damaged and dust will
escape into the surroundings. Additionally, the material will become wet and lumpy,
which will increase the risk of a pellet mill blockage.
Both during continuous conditioner operation and during start-up it is important

to ensure an unrestricted condensate flow from the manifold. An accumulation
of condensated water in the manifold may cause a pellet mill blockage due to
unwanted large water injections into the meal.
BLOCKAGE Overfeeding may cause a blockage of the conditioner and require a reduction of
the capacity.
Over time paddle wear and tear will enlarge the clearance between paddle
and trough, which may cause a material build-up and a reduction of the paddle
functionality. This will result in an improper functioning of the conditioner and
lead to derived processing problems downstream (pellet quality). This effect can
be reduced temporarily by means of adjustments, but a paddle replacement is
inevitable.

STEAM
In the steam installation it is important to create a downward gradient towards the
condensate outlet for the conditioner steam manifold, which can be wrung, until it
provides the correct gradient, before connection.
By means of small valves on T-pieces in front of each drain valve, it is possible to

control the draining (see the chapter ”Maintenance” for the adjustment of steam
valves).
CONNECTION – It is possible to add liquids, such as water, molasses, grease or oil. The liquid is
LIQUIDS connected to the valves on the basis of the succession for adding liquids during
the process. The valves have been constructed for the addition of liquids by
means of injection valves (see the illustration below).
• Optimum contact between

meal particles and steam/
moisture.
• Optimum distribution of liquid

to each particle by means of
multipoint injection.
General guidelines for the addition of liquids during the process:
• Add liquids into the conditioner as early in the process as possible.
• Add water first, when more liquids are added and one of these is water, as
liquids like oil, grease and molasses will encapsulate the feed and prevent the
absorption of water to some extent.
The machine is equipped with two condensate drains, which are to be connected
to an outlet, as the plug may burst off at the steam pressure supplied.
Is the entrance pressure in the steam train higher than the max. of 10 bar, it is
necessary to install a safety valve.

to carry out auto-controls of the entire production line to avoid salmonella and coli
bacillus. An appropriate disinfectant should be used regularly at exposed points in
the production line.
7.6 Preservation
PRODUCTION After a production stop of long duration, the machine has to be thoroughly
STOP cleaned, and all exposed and untreated metallic parts have to be protected
against damage and corrosion. If the storage is prolonged, the bearings should be
pumped full of grease to prevent corrosion.
It is important to rotate the machine shafts every 4-6 weeks to maintain the
rotating ability and to protect bearings and gear wheels from corrosion, etc.
Before taking the machine into operation again, it has to be cleaned in order to

Some of the paddles have been turned to slow down the material flow. To further slow down the
flow and thus obtain a higher filling degree of the conditioner, it is possible to turn more paddles
within the adjustment zone. A uniform number of paddles should be turned in each row to avoid
imbalances in the conditioner.

MAINTENANCE
With a correct paddle setting, the paddles will throw the material up against the
doors, and the material will be distributed evenly through the trough.
By observing the distribution of materials in the trough, when the machine stands
still, it is possible to assess, if the paddles have been placed correctly in relation to
the material and the desired retention time.

7.14 Steam manifold setting

The distribution of steam added to the manifold is determined by the opening
degree of its control valves. The setting of the added amount of steam takes place
at the main valve.
In general, as much steam as possible should be added - and as early as possible -

during the passage of the material through the conditioner. To obtain an appropriate
distribution, at least half of the valves should be opened.

7.15 Shaft seal

In case of a possible leak, the seal can be tightened up by means of the bolts
placed in the shaft seal collar.
It is important to tighten both bolts equally. Possible imbalances can be corrected by

means of the adjusting screws.
When it is no longer possible to seal a packing by means of the bolts, the packing
cord has to be replaced.

7.16 Installation of V-belt drive
V-belt pulley with TB-clamp

Clean shaft, clamp and cone in the belt pulley and lubricate cone
and Allen screws with acid-free oil.
Hinge the pulley onto the shaft and mount the clamp.
Turn the pulley until its threaded holes fit with the smooth clamp
holes.
Mount and tighten the Allen screws, so that the pulley can still be
displaced on the shaft.
Alignment of shafts
Align motor and plant shaft, if necessary with a straightedge,
until they are parallel.
NB: The maximum deviation from 100% parallelism equals 0.5°.
Alignment of V-belt pulleys

Align the V-belt pulleys, until the outside of the pulleys are flush
according to a straightedge.
NB: Check that the V-belt pulleys are still flush after the
tightening of the clamps.

Mounting of new V-belts

The V-belts are to be placed loosely on the belt pulleys without
2 ever forcing them onto the pulley. The mounting of V-belts does
not require any tools, as screwdrivers and similar tools may
damage the belt.
1. Place the V-belt loosely on the pulley without using force.

Mount the belt, and tighten the belt drive so much that there
1 is only a small curve on the slack part.
2. Tighten the tapered lock bushing, when the pulley is in place.
3. Tighten the belt according to the values below. Use a belt

tightening test device, e.g. an Optibelt TT mini wavemeter, as
shown in the figure below (see the following pages for more
details about the use of the belt tightening test device).
4. Check that the pulleys are still in line and parallel after a
correct tightening.
5. Check the belt tension first time after approx. three operating
hours with full load.
Tension of new V-belts

Displace the motor parallelly, until achieving the correct
tightening [Tmin]. Turn the belt drive and check the value [Tmin].
Retighten, if necessary, and repeat until the value [Tmin] is
constant.

Control of V-belts
It is very important to maintain the indicated belt tensions in
order to obtain an optimum operational life and bearing load.
Therefore, the belt tension must be checked regularly, e.g. every
six months and retightened, if necessary.

7.17 Instructions in the use of the belt tightening test device

It is important to turn the transmission a few times to distribute the tension over
the entire belt before measuring.
1. The TT mini wavemeter is turned on by means of the

“AC/ON” button. The display shows an “A” to
indicate that the meter is active. The test device
is ready to measure at once (the display shows
an “M”).
2. The belts are brought into oscillations by
batting them with a finger or an object. Then
the measuring device can be placed above the
belts, which are subject to the measurement.
3. At a constant frequency, the meter starts
measuring the values. The beginning of
the measurement is indicated by a light-
emitting diode. After the measurement, the
result appears in hertz, and the indication
“M” disappears from the display. Next to the
letter “A”, the figures 1 to 4 appear to indicate
the number of successful measurements.
2 to 4 measurements indicate an average
measurement. In case an “E” is shown after
the figure, this indicates that the figure is beyond the
permitted tolerances. The indication “1 bzw.” is an
advice to push the ”AC/ON” button again to carry out a
new measurement.
4. The measuring frequency (Hz) is to be compared to
the set value (Hz). The belts are tightened or loosened
according to the measuring result, until reaching the
indicated value.
5. The meter TT mini is turned off again by means of
the button ”OFF”. However, the meter turns itself off
automatically after a few minutes.
Stop all connected machines before starting the measuring to avoid unintended
shocks or vibrations, which may cause false measurement results.
Follow all prescribed safety procedures in relation to machine stops.

8.1 Dismantling and scrapping
At each dismantling of the machine, e.g. in connection with removal or scrapping,

the safety rules in force at the time in question are to be observed.
The dismantling has to take place in the opposite order of the mounting. It is
important to suspend/support the individual component properly before loosening
its bolted connections.
In case of scrapping the machine, all environmentally damaging parts should be

isolated and sent to destruction. This applies to the following parts:
• Oil from gear motors (chemical destruction)..

• Grease from lubricating (chemical destruction).
• V-belts.
• Rubber from couplings, sealings, etc.
All electric components should be sent to a recycling plant. The rest of the
machine should be cleaned and sent to a scrapdealer.
In case the conditioner is resold to another party than ANDRITZ, the seller is
responsible that the present manual accompanies the machine to its new owner.
For the remounting after a removal, it is important to read the chapter ”Transport
and installation”.
