ProFlake NC: Getting the best from very dry cereals and pulses

• A hot, dry summer has left much of the UK’s barley far drier than normal.
• Abnormally dry grain is harder to process, dusty and less palatable.
• This can result in reduced intakes, respiratory issues and acidosis.
• Dry, dusty grain also creates an unpleasant working environment.

• non-corrosive propionic acid
• glycerol to soften the seed coat
• surfactants to ensure the grain absorbs the liquid

ProFlake NC is used with a known volume of water 12-18 hrs before rolling.

• The resulting grains are plumper, softer, easier to roll and more palatable.
• Dust is virtually eliminated, energy levels are higher and intakes increase.
• Grain will remain stable for up to 12 weeks at up to 22% moisture.
• The process is widely used for very dry grain in Australia and New Zealand.
