Grain rolling mills: everything you need to know
Grain rolling mills are assets responsible for processing cereals in order to turn them into food suitable for animal digestion. Grain rolling takes place by passing the grain between two rollers, which can be smooth, knurled or grooved. This process crushes and fragments the grains. The nutritional value of the processed cereals is thus altered,… Continue reading Grain rolling mills: everything you need to know

Industrial generator failures: what you need to know
Industrial generators are responsible for supplying industries with their electricity needs. As such, they are used in production flows that demand more energy than the traditional distribution network can offer or reach. These assets work in a similar way to the generators used to supply residential energy, but they have a much greater energy production… Continue reading Industrial generator failures: what you need to know
