Every fine is feed you paid for, lost.
Weak pellets break down into fines and dust between the press and the feeder. That's wasted raw material, dusty sheds, uneven intake as animals sort the fines out and a pellet durability index that won't hold spec.
Push the press harder for a firmer pellet and you pay in throughput, energy and die wear. A good binder breaks that trade-off firmer pellets without slowing the line.
What weak pellets cost
Binds the pellet, eases the press.
Added at the mixer, it works through conditioning and the die to hold the pellet together and keep it whole all the way to the feeder.
Bridges the particles
Its binding matrix grips feed particles as they compress, forming a denser, more cohesive pellet in the die.
Eases the die
Smooths flow through the pellet die, lifting throughput and easing the load on the press and dies.
Survives handling
Keeps pellets intact through cooling, bagging, augering and transport so fewer break down before the feeder.
Key benefits
Higher pellet durability
Firmer pellets that hold their PDI from press to feeder.
Fewer fines & less dust
Less feed lost between the mill and the animal, and cleaner sheds.
Higher throughput
Smoother die flow lets the press run faster for the same pellet quality.
Lower energy & die wear
Less strain on the press means lower running cost and longer die life.
More uniform intake
Whole pellets stop animals sorting every bite is the full formula.
Nutrient-safe & inert
Improves the physical pellet without interfering with the ration's nutrition.
A binder built for the press.
A dry, free-flowing binding agent engineered for pellet strength stable through conditioning and easy to dose at the mixer.
Mineral binding matrix
A binding agent selected for cohesion and consistent pellet strength across feed types.
Holds through heat
Stable through steam conditioning and pelleting, so its binding action survives the press.
Inert to the ration
Works on the pellet's physical quality without reacting with nutrients or additives.
Verified through Lab Insight
Every batch is profiled for macro and micro mineral composition through Lab Insight Total Nutrition's own analytical service so binder quality stays consistent, and results are traceable on the Insight portal.
How it's used
Dosed dry at the mixer, ahead of conditioning. Because the right rate depends on the formula, moisture and press, we set it with you.
