The CV Crisis: Why Your Premix Fails Testing

Traditional carriers like rice hull or limestone often lead to high Coefficient of Variation (CV) values (8-15%), causing nutrient hotspots and regulatory rejection.

The SILSEP Solution: Particle Engineering

  • Narrow D50 (35-45µm): Matches the size of most vitamins and micro-minerals for perfect distribution.
  • Anti-Static Shield: Prevents "clumping" during high-speed mixing.
  • High Flowability: Ensures consistent discharge from silos to bagging.
