METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PRODUCING AQUACULTURE FEED

摘要

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.
