Taminizer® C Taminco’s premium feed additive … from a customer’s perspective
Taminizer® C C the difference Product specifications > 96% choline chloride < 0.5% residual moisture Product characteristics Micro granulate Average particle size 400 – 500 micron > 98% granulometry 100 – 800 micron Packaging 15 kg/ laminated PE/ALU/PET bag --- 40 bags/pallet (=600 kg) 20#/20”FCL (=12 MT) – 31#/40”FCL (=18.6 MT) – 36#/FTL (=21.6 M)
Taminizer® C C the difference C the High quality Micro-granules - part. size 100-800 μ (mean 500 μ) Additives to guarantee free flowing => processing ↑ Additives to prevent lump formation => storage stability ↑
Added values – practical experience Higher throughput of the installation Less lump formation in CC Better flowing premix
Less down time for cleaning @ major trouble spots Added values – practical experience Higher throughput of the installation Less down time for cleaning @ major trouble spots Bend in feeding line = “cold spot” → condensation → clogging Exit of mixer : bridge formation & clogging of transport screw
Taminizer® C C the difference C the High activity Highly concentrated Taminizer® C = 72% choline versus CC60VEG = 45% choline 1 kg CC 1 kg CC & 667 g ballast Save volume Reduced warehouse space & (inland) transport cost Increased mixer capacity Create room Additional ingredients Acidifiers, probiotics, prebiotics, enzymes Cheaper ingredients Soybean meal (48% CP) vs. Protein concentrate (90% CP) ZnO vs. ZnSO4 Taminizer® C vs. Betaine (2.1 equivalent to CC)
Added values – practical experience Higher capacity usage Increased mixer capacity Premix @ 3% CC = 2% capacity increase Premix @ 9% CC= 6% capacity increase Reduced storage space in warehouse
Taminizer® C C the difference C the High safety Pure : only synthetic & safe ingredients No carrier => no undesired substances Aflatoxins (from fungi) Spores (from fungi) Pesticide residues (from crop treatment) GMO corn cob (for export to EU-27) Control program = intensive & expensive analyses NO source => NO risk NO costs
Added values – practical experience Some nice-to-haves No fishy odour → no residual TMA or TMA.HCl Reduced contamination risk Excellent bag quality → micro ingredient dosage
Taminizer® C C the difference C the High activity Highly concentrated Create room Save volume Cost efficient alternative to betaine C the High safety Pure : only synthetic & safe ingredients No carrier : no undesired substances C the High quality Micro-granules - part. size 100-800 μ (mean 500 μ) Free flowing & non sticky – processing ↑ 2 to 4% Increase productivity / throughput 1 to 2% Reduce QC costs Undesired substances: - natural plant products (such as gossypol and theobromine) - persistent organic pollutants (such as DDT, dioxins and hexachlorobenzene) - heavy metals (such as arsenic and mercury) - fluorine - mycotoxins (such as aflatoxin B1) - 2 to 6% Increase production capacity
Taminizer® C C the difference Does Taminizer® C improve vitamin stability ? Degradation of vitamins is influenced by: pH Minerals (redox) Temperature Moisture Oxygen Taminizer® C = CC = hygroscopic Water uptake rate ~ amount CC Amount CC in premix/feed : Taminizer® C ≡ CC on carrier Same precautions to reduce vitamin degradation to minimum
Taminizer® C C the difference How to replace CC on carrier by Taminizer® C in a feed recipe ? No carrier 40% carrier = buffer Replace CC on carrier → Taminizer® C + premix buffer BEWARE of order of mixing and mixer performance Reduce premix buffer gradually CC + hydrates
