SME controls help produce high-quality shrimp feed
Extruded pellets with high water stability can be produced without artificial binders by controlling the specific mechanical energy, or SME controls.

SME-controlled extrusion process enhances water stability of shrimp
Shrimp feeds manufactured through the extrusion process can be produced with target quality attributes in a shorter time, thus improving feed production efficiencies.

A closer look at preconditioning: Mixing, residence time
During the aquafeed manufacturing process, preconditioning increases the moisture content and temperature of feed meal particles.

Extrusion processing of aquatic feeds, Part 2
In the aquaculture industry, extruders have been used to produce a great variety of products, but today most of these feeds fall into the sinking or floating categories.

Aquatic feed manufacturing, part 3
The mixing process is the heart of aquatic feed manufacturing. All the ingredients of a formula designed for the target animal are put together.

Aquatic feed manufacturing, part 2
The first processing step in the production of shrimp feeds is the grinding of ingredients for a formula, either individually or as a group.
