Myande’s Distillers Grains Fermentation Systems Unlock New Value in Feed Grain Supply

As a by-product of grain-based alcohol production, distiller’s grains hold significant potential for value-added utilization. Facing the pressure on food security and persistent imbalances between supply and demand in feed grains, Myande Group has leveraged its independently developed distiller’s grains fermentation equipment and integrated technology system to unlock the full value of industrial by-products.

By enhancing resource efficiency through advanced fermentation, Myande’s solution not only improves the utilization rate of distiller’s grains and conserves feed resources, but also substantially reduces reliance on traditional feed grains such as corn and soybean meal. This innovative approach opens a new pathway for the feed industry, while playing an important role in safeguarding food security and ensuring the stable supply of agricultural products.

01 | Expanding Feed Sources and Turning Waste into Value Through Technological Innovation

China is a major producer of alcoholic beverages, and distiller’s grains are one of the primary by-products generated during the brewing process. These residues are the solid materials remaining after fermentation and alcohol separation. Distillers grains are rich in protein, vitamins, and a range of trace elements, giving them considerable nutritional value as a feed ingredient.

However, their high moisture content and acidity make distillers grains at the risk of spoilage and deterioration. Without effective utilization, they not only result in a significant waste of resources but can also pose environmental risks, including secondary pollution during storage and disposal.

In response to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs’ call to “improve quality and efficiency while expanding feed sources,” Myande has leveraged technological innovation to broaden raw material boundaries and transform distiller’s grains into high-value resources.

Myande’s distiller’s grains fermentation engineering solution utilizes by-products from liquor distilleries and ethanol plants, including white liquor distillers’ grains, brewer’s spent grains, and ethanol residues. Through biological fermentation technology, complex fibers in the raw materials are broken down, fermentation metabolites are increased, and the overall nutritional profile of distiller’s grains is significantly improved. This process enhances product value and enables more effective application in feed production.

By enabling distiller’s grains to serve as a partial alternative to soybean meal, the solution plays an important role in ensuring a stable and secure supply of feed ingredients. At the same time, fermented feed aligns with national policies on reducing and limiting antibiotic use, offering clear environmental benefits. With strong policy support, this approach is expected to further accelerate the development of the feed industry.

02 | From Diverse Equipment to After-Sales: Building a High-Efficiency and Green Production System

As a leading provider of feed fermentation system solutions, Myande offers a diverse range of products in the field of solid-state fermentation, including intelligent Fermentation Bed, Aerobic Fermentation Tower and Circular Fermentation Tower. These products are highly regarded by customers for their strong integration capabilities, innovative three-dimensional design, professional process expertise, and advanced automation control systems, delivering reliable and efficient fermentation solutions for the feed industry.

Take Myande’s Circular Fermentation Tower as an example. It’s primarily used for Aerobic fermentation, suitable for fermenting and cultivating microorganisms in materials such as soaked grains, distiller’s grains, soybean meal, wheat bran, and other feed ingredients. The system features high automation, large fermentation capacity, flexible control over fermentation conditions, and excellent hygiene standards.

After inoculation, distiller’s grains are transported via feeding equipment into the Rotating-Arm Aerobic Fermentation Tower. During feeding, the material layer height can be adjusted by controlling the inlet and outlet screw conveyors, ensuring a uniform layer in accordance with production requirements. Throughout the fermentation process, temperature and ventilation can be precisely regulated to guarantee optimal fermentation performance.

To deliver the full value of smarter, safer, and more energy-efficient distillers grains fermentation equipment to customers, Myande provides a complete range of turnkey solutions. From initial technology research and process design to product manufacturing, installation, and commissioning, and extending to training, guidance, and after-sales support, Myande ensures a seamless, end-to-end experience for its clients.

Over the years, Myande has secured more than 40 patents in the field of solid-state fermentation for feed ingredients and has established strong collaborations with leading domestic and international grain and oil groups, top feed companies, and specialized fermentation firms, collectively driving sustainable development in the industry. Looking ahead, Myande remains committed to its vision of “becoming a respected global leader in its market segment”. The company will continue to develop high-quality distiller’s grains fermentation equipment and integrated system solutions, helping liquor producers enhance product quality, achieve resource recycling, increase raw material value, reduce feed costs, and ultimately promote high-quality growth across the feed and fermentation industry.
