Extruders for animal feed production
Optimize nutritional value and ensure efficient processing of animal and aqua feeds with high-performance extruders, ideal for transforming raw ingredients into uniform products through precise kneading, cooking, and extrusion.
Processes and Densifies Feed Ingredients Efficiently
The AL Series from Ottevanger Milling Engineers are robust single-screw extruders designed for processing and densifying feed ingredients. These extruders knead and cook ingredients like pet food, aqua feed, and animal feed, delivering consistent texture and enhanced nutritional value. With processing capacities ranging from 0.5 to 9 tons per hour, they ensure flexibility for various production scales.
The extruders feature direct or V-belt drives for efficient energy use and minimal wear. Easily integrated into existing production lines, these machines facilitate continuous operation through pre-conditioning and extrusion phases. Constructed with durable materials, they offer low maintenance requirements and easy cleaning, fitting seamlessly into demanding industrial environments. Optional customizations and engineering support are available to meet specific processing needs.
