Abstract

The present study was carried out to develop programming control system of a locally made animal feed production line. The locally made feed production line consists of three units; feeding unit, milling unit and mixing unit. Performance of the local feed production line was studied under three treatments: three types of control system and three feed rates and evaluated in terms of line productivity specific energy and operational cost. The obtained results can be concluded to the following: Using of programmable control systems for controlling a local feed production line to increase productivity, save energy and cost. It is preferred to use the programmable control system with multimedia interface to control feed production line machines.
