In the first quarter of 2012, Wacker Chemie AG reported that the company’s sales in the first quarter of this year reached 1.194 billion euros, which was 8% lower than the same period of last year but 18% higher than the fourth quarter of 2011.
The company said that sales in the first quarter of this year increased by 18% from the previous quarter, mainly due to the increase in sales. However, product prices, especially in the field of solar cell polysilicon and semiconductor wafers, have fallen sharply, which has also inhibited the growth of sales. The company's EBITDA for the first quarter was 211.8 million euros, a decrease of 40% year-on-year, but almost doubled compared to the fourth quarter of 2011. In addition to falling prices, the persistently high raw material and energy costs are also major factors affecting the company's profitability.
1. Raw material pulverization: Raw materials are mainly divided into two categories, starch and fat. Starch is mainly various grains. Its pulverization can be achieved by ordinary pulverizers. It only needs to ensure the fineness and clean raw materials during the pulverization process. Hygiene can be. Use a colloid mill to pulverize into separate packs or puree, and the meat only needs to be pulverized into meat puree or powder with a colloid mill, and then added to the grain powder and stirred evenly.
2. Raw material mixing: The mixing equipment has two functions, one is to mix all kinds of raw materials evenly, and the other is to adjust the moisture and humidity. It is generally a vertical rapid mixer: the mixing time is short, the mixing is completed quickly, and the machine is used before the humidity of the raw material changes significantly, which ensures the uniformity and quality of the puffing of the dog food particles. The disadvantage is: the single-cylinder mixing capacity is small, and it needs to be stirred all the time during the production process.
3. Raw material extrusion, puffing and curing molding: The twin-screw extruder extrudes and extrudes under high temperature and high pressure, and produces dog food and cat food particles of different styles and shapes by changing different molds. For different raw material ratios and humidity, it is necessary to adjust the temperature and screw speed of different regions and the feeding speed of the feeder to ensure that the produced dog food particles are of high quality and good appearance.
