Grinders use a spinning blade or rotating abrasive elements to reduce the size of various materials. The specifications, RPM and grit of the engineered grinder, will result in various particle sizes. As a result, what you want to make will determine the type of grinder you need. Grinding is used for improving the texture and flow properties of various products and to enhance the flavor of food products such as coffee, spices, sugar, nuts, sesame, poppy seeds, lentils, wheat, and rice. Choosing the right rotational speed, grinding elements, and processing power allow the grinding and shredding of a wide range of materials into coarse or fine powders. Popular types of heavy duty grinders in food processing include angle grinders, bench grinders and meat grinders.

In aquafeed, you can find three types of pellets: floating pellets, sinking pellets, and slow-sinking pellets, because not all aquatic species eat at the same height of the water column. In the case of bottom feeders such as shrimp, river crab, sea bass, and some species of catfish, they eat sinking pellets. Contrary to tilapia and carp that feeds from the surface with floating pellets. Sinking pellets production must control water stability to preserve the quality and form of the pellets, avoiding nutrients' dissolution in the water.

Sinking pellets

Utilization of biomass for energy and other applications requires consistent and reliable compaction to increase bulk density and provide a consistent an easy to handle input product to subsequent processes such as combustion. This line of pelleting presses has been under development since the energy crisis of the 1970’s and is well suited for today’s renewable raw materials industry needs.


<h2>Robust biomass pelletizers with impeccable pellet quality and high up-time</h2>
Amandus Kahl produces pelletizing presses with proven success for many types of biomass including wood, straw, dried forage, and agricultural byproducts among many others. The presses use pan grinder rollers to compact the biomass and force it through a flat pelletizing die forming continuous strands of compacted product. The strands are then cut to the desired length using rotating knives. The pan grinder rollers and knives rotate slowly ensuring optimum pellet quality and minimized generation of noise and heat.

The grinder roller gap and strand cutter are adjustable for optimized pellet quality for the customer’s particular needs.  The presses are designed for maximized plant up-time and include reinforced press chamber, die supports and cutting knives, oversized and permanently lubricated roller bearings, and active gearbox lubrication. The flat die design ensures even distribution of feed material and optimized pressure in a more compact package than traditional ring die type presses. Amandus Kahl has pelletizing presses with capacities from 300 Kg / h to 8,000 Kg / h.

The hygienic presses are also designed for easy cleaning and meet GMP guidelines for food processing equipment. Pellet dies are readily changeable without specialized tools for easy experimentation and process development aiding the customers in developing a process that is optimized for their product.

Hygienic pelleting press

Production of certain pelletized products requires working with output products of a pasty consistency. These products include pigments, clay, detergent additives, vitamin products, and many other products where problems of adhesion of fresh pellets are often encountered. Processing of these types of products requires a pelletizing press that allows the fresh pellets to be directly deposited on a gently transporter such as a conveyor.


<h2>A pelletizing press for depositing pellets directly onto your conveyor</h2>
Amandus Kahl produces pelletizing presses with overhead drives that allow pellets to be deposited directly onto a conveyor from above-eliminating the adhesion issues of fresh pellets often encountered with pasty products. This line of presses uses the proven technology of Amandus Kahl’s other pelletizing presses but the drive unit is above the pelletizing die rather than below it allowing gentle direct deposition of the fresh pellets onto a conveyor. The presses use pan grinder rollers to compact the input material and force it through a pelletizing die forming continuous strands of compacted product. The strands are then cut to the desired length using rotating knives.

In a Fluid Bed, a product or solid is made fluid by an upward moving flow of gas. The mechanical movement of the Fluid Bed strengthens this effect. Thus, the gas and product are intensively mixed so that high heat transfer and an optimum physical reaction speed are achieved.


<h2>Continuous fluid bed dryer for an energy-efficient drying</h2>
Ventilex Continuous fluid bed dryers apply world-leading fluid bed technology to high-throughput bulk processes. By choosing a good combination of gas speed and mechanical movement, you will be able to process granular products with a wide range of grain sizes while forming a minimum amount of dust.

A whole range of products can be processed in the fluid bed for long residence times, up to two hours per machine are possible. Ventilex Fluid bed dryer can function at temperatures from–15ºC to +600ºC. The gas speed can vary from 0.2 to 3m/sec.

When it comes to aquafeed, you can find three types of pellets: floating pellets, sinking pellets, and slow-sinking pellets. Not all aquatic species eat at the same height of the water column. For example, tilapia and carp eat at the surface (floating pellets) while shrimp and sea bass eat at the bottom (sinking pellets). Slow-sinking pellets are ideal for species that eat along the water column such as salmon and cod.  To get the pellets to sink at the right rate, slow sinking pellets production must control water stability in the products.

Ventilex is an expert in drying technologies. More than 800 fluid bed dryers, belt dryers &amp; air dehumidifiers are already installed worldwide.

<a href="https://making.com/products/aquafeed">Aquatic feed production</a> has been on the rise in recent years due to the increasing demand for proteins. However, feed manufacturers are faced with multiple challenges, such as sourcing raw materials (e.g. <a href="https://making.com/soybean-meal">soybean</a> and <a href="https://making.com/fishmeal-powder">fishmeal</a>) and preserving nutrients, especially for farmed fish diet. Aquafeed as a high-quality source of protein for fish production is therefore crucial to fish farms to improve fish quality.


<h2>Challenges of aquafeed production</h2>
Aquafeed manufacturers are seeking sustainable and secured raw materials as well as alternative feed ingredients, which need to be processed properly. Protein content, feed quality, shelf life, and homogeneity are the main factors to consider when it comes to processing aquafeed. However, many drying technologies only allow for a limited range of product types, reducing feed variety and volume produced in one feed production facility.
<h2>Optimal drying of fish feed</h2>
<a href="https://making.com/equipment/continuous-fluid-bed-dryer">Fluid bed drying</a> is one of the proven solutions to thermal drying of fish feed. It combines upward-moving flow of gas with mechanical movement to make products in solid form into fluid and makes sure high heat transfer. It thus guarantees a gentle and uniform drying process that helps to preserve nutrients and increase shelf life of fish feed products. In addition, fish feed of a wide range (e.g. particle size, density and moisture content) can be produced on the same drying unit, achieving a high production volume.

Feed

Aquaculture feed is used when rearing marine livestock such as fish, shellfish, and algae. Quality nutrition is needed for healthy growth and reproduction and feed usually consists of fats, carbohydrates, protein, vitamins, and minerals. Extruded aquaculture feed floats on the water surface and pressure-pelleted feed will sink to the bottom.
