How HIO Running?

After being cleaned, corn or barley enters the HIO Flaking machine. It needs to be cooked for 50 to 60 minutes, and then flaked (with a thickness of 1.5 to 2.5 mm). After drying (optional), it is conveyed to the Total Mixed Ration (TMR) and mixed with ruminant feed, and then fed into the cattle feed trough.


1. Raw material under 14%

2. Cooking 1hour Flaking; +3-4%

3. Steam flaked corn 16-17.5%

4. TMR mixing

5. Cattle feed
