The Bonnot Company De-Watering Wet Distillers Grain Extruders
We have specially designed extruders to simply de-watering wet distillers grain
De-watering Wet Distillers Grain (WDG) or brewers grain is a simple process in which water is removed from the grain most often onsite, immediately after brewing to prevent rotting and increase resale value. This occurs in a continuous mechanical screw press and will reduce moisture levels to around ~ 60%, typically dry to the touch. The 60% grain can now be used for animal feeds, fertilizers or a variety of other uses, or dried further via heat methods for additional uses. This moisture level reduction greatly lengthens the shelf life of the product and significantly reduces the weight and consequently the transportation costs.
