Slow sinking pellets mixing Equipment

Industrial mixing equipment is used to combine two or more solid, liquid or gaseous segregated ingredients into a homogenous single product. The choice of mixing technology depends largely on the physical state of the ingredients and the desired final product. But the sensitivity of the ingredients, the process temperature, and pressure requirements are also critical factors. All these parameters result in a wide range of industrial mixers.

Mixing

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.

Straightforward blending solution for mixtures of beans, nuts, berries &amp; powdered foods, for making blends of tea, vegetables or animal feed.


<h2>Cost-effective mixing solution for up to 3 tons per hour</h2>
The TMM series is a basic mixer for granular foods from Toper R&amp;D that offers a high capacity range, varying from 900 kg to 3 tons/h. An easy-to-use asset when mixing all kinds of powdered or granular products commonly utilized in a wide range of industrial processes, particularly in the food industry. From fruit tea and nectar blends to mineral, vegetable and animal blends, these mixers aim to provide the finest mixing process.

Maintaining the precise nutrient content and preventing the greasy exterior of pet and animal feed pellets pose challenges for manufacturers. Ensuring homogenous mixing and deep penetration of additives without product damage is critical.
<h2>Achieve homogenous nutrient distribution in pellets</h2>
The Pegasus® Vacuum Coater from Dinnissen is a specialized system designed for the vacuum coating of porous pellets and extruded products. Utilizing a dual-shaft paddle mixer, it ensures thorough mixing and deep penetration of liquids and powders into the core of each pellet. This technology creates an active mixing zone where the additives are evenly distributed. Adjustable vacuum settings enable customizing the depth of liquid application. Additionally, the system can handle multiple layers of coatings, allowing for the inclusion of flavors, vitamins, and other additives without external stickiness. The Pegasus® Vacuum Coater is particularly well-suited for producing pet food, feed, and aquafeed with optimal nutrient content and quality, supporting industries such as Food & Pharma, Pet food, Feed & Aquafeed.

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.

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.

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.
