With a vast experience of 60 years in the feed milling business, Van Aarsen has acquired a broad knowledge in every area of the compound feed industry and has become one of the world’s leading companies in feed mill design, construction and process technology.

As always you can meet the Van Aarsen team at the VIV Asia 2011. Recent developments include the GD type hammer mill with newly developed automatic screen exchange system for 3 different screen types. This unique and compact system is already operational in several feed mills and market demand is constantly increasing.
The system consists of a cassette unit with 3 slots to hold the screens, a motorised insertion system and control system.

The control system comprises a Siemens S7-300 PLC incl. Multi-panel 277-10” touch-screen. During operation the control system automatically selects the screen required for the recipe in question. Communication between the control system and that of the feed mill takes place via a Profibus connection.
The PLC can also be used for load control of the hammer mill.

The screens are stored in a cassette system that is suspended above the hammer mill. This construction enables:
• The surface area required for the hammer mill to remain the same
• Easy access, ergonomic working conditions
• Use of simple straight screen plates
• No extra tools
• Sieve exchange during operation
• CE protected cassettes
• Cassettes to be moved aside when opening the hammer mill doors
