  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PRODUCING AQUACULTURE
    Publication number: 20180289040
    Abstract: The method and system produces a high-moisture aquatic feed that is stable in water and has a texture that more closely resembles naturally-occurring aquatic feedstocks. The system includes a “tempering unit” that is structured to allow an operator to control the temperature of a low-carbohydrate high-moisture extrudate after the extrudate leaves a conventional extruder. As the extrudate flows through a tubular matrix within the tempering unit, expansion of the extrudate is controlled to produce the high-moisture water-stable aquafeed.

  • Method for agglomerating fine powders
    Patent number: 5851574
    Abstract: A method is provided for producing feed particles of a desired size in a 20 to 1000 .mu.m size range for uses such as a larval aquatic feed. The method uses a marumerizer comprising a cylindrical housing have a grooved bottom, and includes the steps of placing a wet mash of the particle material (e.g., a larval aquatic feed material) in the marumerizer, placing in the marumerizer a charge of inert beads of a size (e.g., 3 mm) substantially larger than that of the particles to be produced, and rotating the marumerizer with the wet mash and charge of inert beads therein so that the beads compact and shape the mash into formed spheroidal particles.
