Bulk Feed Mill Operations Explained

A bulk feed operation manufactures truck loads of specialized feed for farmers and delivers the finished product in bulk via specialized feed trailers.

 

Utilizing the TransActPOS BOM inventory type, the utility addresses the needs of the feed service with the same efficiency as the bagged feed operations.  The following provides some insight into the bulk feed operation for a better understanding of the process.

 

 

Bulk feed silos contain the raw materials used during the manufacturing process, much like that of the bagged feed operation but on a larger scale.

 

Below the raw material silos are various hammer mills that crush the grain to the desired size during the manufacturing process.

 

Individual silos hold the finished material once the manufacturing process is completed.  The semi-truck hauling the feed trailer is positioned below the silos for loading various customer orders.

 

Typically, the feed trailer contains eight compartments, allowing the driver to deliver multiple specialized feeds to the customer.
