    摘要: The present disclosure is generally directed to systems and methods for applying liquid feed additives to a feed composition. In one embodiment, the system has a spray housing defining a spray chamber located adjacent a mix housing carrying a material composition. The mix housing defines a mix chamber, which contains an actuating device, such as an auger, that moves the material stream through the mix chamber. The mix chamber and spray chamber are in fluid communication. A spray nozzle is coupled to the spray housing and in fluid communication with an air source and liquid additive tank. The spray nozzle sprays a fog of air and liquid additive through the spray chamber and into the mix chamber, which gets deposited on the passing feed stream.

    摘要: A grain moisture measuring apparatus and method for measuring the moisture content of the grain as the grain moves through a grain conditioning system in which moisture is applied to the grain at a first location. The grain moisture measuring apparatus includes a sample extraction mechanism located at a point downstream from the first location where moisture is applied to the grain. The sample extraction mechanism extracts a sample of grain from the grain moving through the grain conditioning system. A grinding mechanism is connected to the sample extraction mechanism with the grain sample being transferred to the grinding mechanism which then grinds the sample to physically alter the sample. The apparatus further includes a moisture sensor positioned adjacent the grinding mechanism wherein the sample of grain is transferred to a location adjacent the moisture sensor after the grain sample is ground so that the moisture sensor measures the moisture content of the grain sample. Preferably the moisture sensor is a capacitance-type sensor which provides an electronic signal that corresponds to the moisture content of the grain sample. A method is provided for measuring the moisture content of grain as the grain moves through a grain conditioning system in which moisture is applied to the grain at a first location. The method includes the steps of extracting a sample of grain from the grain moving through the grain conditioning system at a point downstream from the first location where moisture is applied to the grain; grinding the sample of grain to physically alter the sample; and measuring the moisture content of the grain sample after the grain sample has been ground.
