Nutri Feeds Viljoenskroon
Result
From weighbridge intakes through production and pelleting to outloading, every process was automated and is now operated by one person in a central control room.
Removing the human control aspect brought accuracy that shows up as better stock management and consistent quality on the final product.
Nutri Feeds has since added a third pelleting line to meet new demand, with mixing capacity raised to match it.
I do believe we have much better quality now due to the accuracy we get, as well as much higher throughputs than before. That means lower costs per ton to produce and makes us more competitive in the market. From a reporting side we can see everything that goes on in our plant and fix problems much faster thanks to better visibility.

More control, to hold throughput and feed quality steady:
- Improve product quality, as it is inconsistent.
- Get batching accuracy up to their group standards.
- Reduce human labour and human error, and guard against contamination between recipes.
- Be more cost-effective to stay a leader in the market, as the current process is inefficient.
- Renew all MCC and electrical hardware and field instrumentation.
Nutri Feeds Bloemfontein
Result
From intakes through production and pelleting to outloading, every process was automated and is now operated by one person in a central control room.
In the first six months the plant passed its own goal and set a record of 9,000 tons a month.
Working the downtime record to find where time was being lost took it to 10,000 tons a month over the following six months, with the quality they expect held throughout.
