Extruder

In aquafeed production, it is essential to consider the specific feed requirements of each fish and shellfish species. Our partner ANDRITZ offers unique, high-capacity extrusion lines for the production of all types of feed for fish and shellfish.

ANDRITZ extruders ensure the feed achieves the required physical properties, delivering the appropriate sinking characteristics according to the level of the water column where it is intended to be consumed. As a result, they represent state-of-the-art technology, enabling the production of high-quality aquafeed with minimal operating costs.

 

Extruder – EX1250

• High capacity extrusion: 10-20 tph

• High degree of processing flexibility

• User-friendly design for operation and maintenance

• Minimum downtime

 

Extruder – EX1021

• High capacity: 2-12 tph

• Low maintenance and wear parts costs

• High performance V-belt transmission

 

ANDRITZ extruders can be used for a great variety of aqua feed:

• Fast sinking feed

• Slow sinking feed

• Floating feed

• Feed with high or low oil content

 

Expansion Control System (ECS)

The patented ANDRITZ ECS is a reliable system for accurate control of expansion for any extruded product. The ECS controls sinking speed accuracy and efficiency regardless of formulation, raw material quality, and operator skills. The ECS controls the density of the extrudates externally from the extruder.

 

Flextex

The Flextex system controls the starch cooking in the extrusion process. The required product density is maintained by means of on-line control of the specific mechanical energy.
