Feed Production

Control odour. Protect the process. Keep production moving.

BM Process helps animal-feed and pet-food producers treat complex exhaust streams from extrusion, drying, mixing, coating and storage — while extending the same clean-air expertise into poultry and animal-production hygiene.

BM Process | Feed Production

Engineered exhaust-air and hygiene solutions for feed manufacturers.

Odour control

Organic odours & protein decomposition products

Emission control

VOC, grease mist & aerosols

Biosecurity

Air hygiene for animal environments

Process map

Target the emission where it is created

Animal-feed exhaust changes from one process step to the next. We follow the production line rather than treating “odour” as one generic problem.

01

Grinding & dosing

Dust, flavours, additives and odour-carrying fine particles.

02

Mixing

Diffuse odours and fine organic particles from blended recipes.

03

Extrusion / expansion

Hot humid air, protein vapours, grease mist and intense odours.

04

Drying & cooling

Large air volumes with moisture, VOCs, aerosols and diffuse degassing.

05

Fat / flavour coating

Sticky grease mist, triglycerides, VOCs and strong flavour odours.

06

Packaging & storage

Slow residual emissions from pellets, fats and flavourings.

Technology portfolio

A modular treatment train for complex feed exhaust

Feed exhaust is often hot, humid, greasy and protein-rich. A credible BM Process page should show the combination of mechanical pretreatment and oxidation/polishing—not one magic device.Animal-feed exhaust changes from one process step to the next. We follow the production line rather than treating “odour” as one generic problem.

Primary treatment

Prefilters & droplet separators

Mechanical stages for grease, dust and aerosol separation before the main oxidation step. Best fit: extrusion, coa

Best fit: extrusion, coating, grinding and dusty or sticky process air.

Core treatment

UV-ozone exhaust treatment

Photochemical oxidation for organic odours, VOCs and grease/protein-related exhaust contaminants.

Best fit: extrusion, coating, grinding and dusty or sticky process air.

Core treatment

Industrial UV-ozone exhaust treatment

Industrial exhaust-air treatment for VOC, odour and organic-pollutant reduction.

Best fit: centralised or mixed industrial feed exhaust streams.

Polishing stage

Activated-carbon polishing

Optional final polishing for residual emissions where site sensitivity demands a very low odour profile.

Best fit: plants close to residential or other odour-sensitive receptors.

Wet treatment

Wet exhaust-air scrubbing

Counter-current scrubbing for water-soluble contaminants, particles and selected ammonia/odour applications.
Best fit: livestock/animal-processing environments and selected pre-cleaning duties.

Biosecurity

UV-C supply & recirculated air

Air-disinfection systems for ventilation ducts, recirculation units and animal-production spaces.
Best fit: poultry houses, hatcheries and breeding environments.

Odour & air hygiene

Plasma air purification

Physical air-treatment option for odour reduction and selected biological contaminants, normally used with prefiltration. Best fit: occupied anim
Best fit: occupied animal or technical areas with mixed air-quality issues.

Integrated engineering

Controls, safety & ATEX considerations

Feed plants can combine fats, dusts and organic aerosols. Integration must account for process safety, maintenance and local zoning.
BM Process role: fit the technology into the real plant, not the other way around.
Secondary opportunity

Beyond the feed mill: animal-production hygiene

Because BM Process wants to include examples such as germ-free poultry farming, this section keeps animal biosecurity visible without confusing it with feed manufacturing.

Air hygiene

Protect animals by treating the air they breathe.

UV-C supply-air and recirculated-air systems can be positioned for poultry houses, hatcheries and breeding facilities where control of airborne microorganisms is part of the biosecurity strategy.

  • Poultry
  • Hatcheries
  • Breeding stations
  • Supply air

Poultry air inlet

Disinfection of incoming ventilation air before it enters the animal space.

Recirculated barn air

Continuous reduction of airborne germs in occupied production environments.

Hatchery halls

Air treatment for incubation, hatching, transfer and sorting areas.

Breeding facilities

Supply-air treatment and clean-air concepts for sensitive breeding operations.
BM Process approach

Engineer around the recipe, airflow and operating reality

The right feed solution depends on process stage, pollutant load and operating pattern. The sales page should make that engineering role explicit.

01

Characterise emissions

Odour profile, VOCs, grease/protein load, dust, humidity, temperature and airflow.

02

Define pretreatment

Select droplet, grease, dust or wet stages to protect the downstream technology.

03

Oxidise & polish

Apply UV ozone, activated carbon or complementary technologies for the required outlet quality.

04

Integrate & verify

Controls, safety, maintenance access, performance measurement and documentation.
