Extruder for aquatic feed production
Producing high-quality aquatic feed at industrial scales often requires advanced extrusion technology to handle varied pellet sizes and densities while maintaining high nutritional values and stability.
Produce diverse aquatic feeds with stability and precision
The AquaFLEX™ by Wenger is a highly flexible twin-screw extruder designed for the production of aquatic feed. Engineered to overcome the challenges associated with processing high volumes of extrudate into smaller-sized pellets (less than 1mm), the AquaFLEX™ enables the production of floating, slow-sinking, and sinking feeds. The twin-screw technology ensures uniform product consistency and excellent nutrient retention. Featuring a patented dual die assembly, it can handle a wide range of ingredient formulations and pellet sizes, from 0.6mm to over 10mm. Typical configurations include Wenger’s High Shear Conditioner or High Intensity Preconditioner, making it suitable for producing shrimp feed and flexible enough for species like salmon, trout, sea bass, cod, and yellowtail tuna. The AquaFLEX™ offers precise control of pellet density and uniformity and can be customized to match specific production requirements. Maximum capacity reaches up to 13,000 kg/hr with models AFX-3000 and AFX-600 providing adaptability for various production scales.
