Drying Systems for Fish Feed
Produce clean, stable fish feed with consistent quality and maximum nutritional value. Hosokawa Micron’s advanced drying technology transforms challenging raw materials—whether wet, pasty or dry—into fine, free-flowing powders or granules. With optimal control over moisture content, particle size and texture, you can meet strict quality requirements for aquaculture nutrition.
From slurries to cakes, fish-based ingredients often pose handling and drying challenges due to their cohesive, heat-sensitive nature. The DMR flash dryer offers an energy-efficient, single-step solution that dries, deagglomerates and classifies even the most difficult feedstocks. The result: better flowability, lower costs, and improved product quality—ready for downstream processing or direct use.
DMR Flash Dryer: Compact & Efficient
Fish feed production using conventional dryers is often costly and complex, especially when additional milling is required to break up agglomerates. In contrast, Hosokawa Micron’s DMR flash dryer dries and classifies in a single step—minimising energy use, equipment footprint and labour.
✅ All-in-one processing: drying, deagglomeration and classification
✅ Low energy use: minimal thermal input per kg of evaporated water
✅ High output quality: fine, uniform particles with excellent flow behaviour
✅ Optional closed-loop operation: for heat- or oxygen-sensitive products
✅ Pressure-shock resistant design: suitable for safe drying of organic materials
With fewer process steps, less cleaning and lower operational complexity, the DMR is a reliable solution for both new installations and line upgrades.
