High quality ingredients (fish meal, cereals, vegetable proteins …) are selected and ground according to the specific nutritional and pellets size requirements of the aquatic animals.The particle size distribution is a key factor to produce premium granulates: therefore the grinding step is an important unit operation. The powder is then mixed with minor ingredients such as vitamins, mineral premixes… prior to the preconditioning.Next, the heart of the process, extrusion cooking is done in three stages in the fish feed machine : preconditioning, extrusion cooking and die texturing/ shaping.
