Watertech announces a new product – Watertech Cake Life

A blend of proprietary components designed to prolong the life of wet distillers grains by preventing mold growth and toxic levels of mycotoxins. Watertech's Cake Life can extend wet cake longevity for 10-20 days or more when compared to the untreated wet cake life of 2-4 days. Watertech Cake Life has been shown to produce no negative palatability reactions with livestock. 

Watertech Cake Life is buffered to a pH of 5.3-5.6 to eliminate the corrosive nature of the acids.  Ask your Watertech representative about how this product may impact your facility. Not a customer of Watertech?  Click here and someone will be happy to contact you about your facility's needs.
