Energy efficient solutions for the production of aquatic feed

Fine grinding plant for fish and shrimp feed production

A large grist spectrum and irregular fineness often result in higher energy consumption and longer retention time in the mill. This might cause

  • high production cost
  • a suboptimal grist spectrum (increased proportion of fines),
  • heat exposure for sensitive nutritional elements in the recipe and
  • an increased likelihood for blockings and dust explosions.

From the economic side, a higher fineness normally goes with lower throughput and higher energy cost of the line. Tietjen offers valuable alternatives here, such as pre-shredding and grinding systems which reduce the energy consumption.

Optimal preparation

Our mills for aquatic feed grind recipes for

  • Early fries
  • Shrimp
  • Extruded and pelleted aquatic feed
  • Floating and sinking aquatic feed
  • Aqua feed for various types of fish such as: Salmon, pollack perch, tilapia, carp, trout and other large and small fish
  • Fine grinded feed for Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS)
Good grinding – good fish pellet processing

Influencing the quality of aqua and shrimp feed pellets

The quality of aqua or shrimp feed increases with the fineness of the grinding and pulverizing process.

  • Reduced incidence of die plugging in extruder, due to uniformity and cleanness of the ground material
  • Ease of cooking in the extruder and pelletizing efficiencies
  • Better binding properties and reduced waste due to finer structure
  • Improved liquid and steam addition due to small and uniform cell structure
  • Less wear in the extruder barrel
  • Ease of drying process
