IDAH welcome Innovation Center Visitor in October 2020 At IDAH, we understand that innovation grows from collective wisdom and experience. IDAH’s Innovation Center, an extrusion research lab, fosters an environment of innovation through open experimentation: providing direct hands-on access to industry and machinery. We can develop a competitive and innovative product with you.

A combination of #ContraTwin #twin-screw #extruder and #carousel #dryer is the industry leading #extrusion and #drying solution for production #aquafeed and #petfood. It has the capacity ranging from 1 TPH up to 8 TPH. ContraTwin – patented twin-screw extrusion, a next-generation #thermal extruder that takes the challenging ever changing #formulation and requirement for higher quality micro pellets. Carousel dryer – #gentle and #uniform drying solution. Latest design of #airflow control system which is engineered for steam/gas efficiency and has higher #drying capacity. While for production of 10 up to 17 TPH we offer combination of ContraTwin extruder and Temperature Zone Horizontal #dryer.

Let's go beyond the travel restriction boundary! What can we do now? The outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19) caused travel restrictions all over the world. IDAH is here! Actively supporting our customers and partners, by holding the Webinar regarding the New Pellet Mill System with our best team!

For the production of 10 up to 17 TPH #aquafeed and #petfood, #IDAH offers a combination of #ContraTwin twin-screw extruder and Temperature Zone Horizontal #dryer. ContraTwin - a patented #twin-screw #extruder has the way to control #cooking degree at the shaft support and before die plate, therefore, with two complementing #screws which positively convey and mix the feed material and injected steam forward, ContraTwin uses lower mechanical energy than the traditional #Co-rotating twin-screw extruder. Lower mechanical energy means lower wear cost and lower energy cost. Temperature Zone Horizontal dryer- Each temperature zone is independently controlled for high efficient drying. With unique airflow from top and from the bottom, provides #uniform drying throughout all material layers. The fully closed insulated dryer wall and #airlock in inlet and outlet ensure minimum heat dissipation.

How do We Cope with Travel Ban During Covid19 for Commissioning? Thanks to our stationed staff in both Thailand, India, and Indonesia, with in-time support from Taiwan, we get to complete successful commissioning for our clients.

Carousel Dryer for Cooling Toasted Soybean Application

Aquafeed and pet food production lines incorporate many sifters in their process, whether in grinding, crumbling, or packing system. For example, the requirement of the material fineness after grinding may reach up to 80 to 100 mesh (177 to 149 microns). So not only do we need to have a sifter with good sieving efficiency, but also have a proven capability to be used in every system.

Crumbler for Aquafeed and Animal Feed An adjustable feeding system carefully controls the material throughput and distribution across the roller. Roller adjustment can be precisely executed by using a distance measuring gauge, along with a sampling device for granule size checking.

What separates our EP-218 single screw extruder from the other: Automatic bearing lubrication system, with interlock to the main motor. Ensures bearing is lubricated throughout the operation Loss-in-weight live bin for precise addition of steam and water in the pre-conditioner and extruder barrel. The implementation of the latest venturi technology to provide the most suitable pressure needed in the extruder outlet.

Hole design for pellet die

Small Pellets Does Matter Production of starter feed or shrimp feed can be considered as a form of art rather than science. Many producers are facing a hard time dealing with decisions for the best practice in manufacturing shrimp feed, especially small size pellets (1.0 to 1.2 mm)

IDAH production line for small feed always applied the pulverizer. In recent times, the presence of the IDAH ZP-series vertical pulverizer (no-screen type) has helped to boost the efficiency of the grinding process. With the same power consumption, the ZP series will produce a higher capacity than the conventional screen-type pulverizer. This pulverizer is equipped with a hydraulic operated top cover and safety switch for easier and safer spare parts replacement. Patented design for ground material separation and control material fineness. The hammer and liner are made with high-quality material, enforced with a tungsten carbide plate for long-lasting performance.

Model: EP-218 Machine: Single screw extruder Motor: 400HP Screw size: 218 mm Capacity: 8~10 TPH floating feed (at 3.0 mm plate die size) What separates our EP-218 single screw extruder from the other: 1. Automatic bearing lubrication system, with interlock to the main motor. Ensures bearing is lubricated throughout the operation 2. Loss-in-weight live bin for precise addition of steam and water in the pre-conditioner and extruder barrel. 3. The implementation of the latest venturi technology to provide the most suitable pressure needed in the extruder outlet.

The new CDX-series horizontal dryer from IDAH. This dryer is designed with separate drying temperature zones. Each temperature zone is independently controlled for high efficient drying. With unique airflow from top and bottom, provides uniform drying throughout all material layers. This dryer uses a stainless steel-made drying tray for easy replacement and prevents material from sticking on the tray. If you are looking for a profit-generating dryer with good moisture control and uniformity, then this IDAH CDX-series dryer is the answer.

A new generation, developed for the shrimp feed industry, multi-deck carousel dryer/cooler is designed for better uniformity and optimum moisture control. This compact dryer-cooler has an advanced air system, utilizing the air from the cooler into the dryer air system, thus increases the overall efficiency, and reduces 50% of the exhaust air volume. The moisture control is performed on the finished cold product done by First-in-First-out (FIFO) product flow with a short overall retention time. Easy, quick, and accurate moisture control has a big impact on product quality and cost price.

IDAH Pellet mill produces shrimp pellets with 0.8 and 1.0 mm diameter to replace big-size-crumbled pellets. Producing small pellets will eliminate the need for a crumbling process that uses twice as much material as small size pelleting and in most of the time, generate unworkable dust.

All IDAH pellet dies are made from high-quality Europe-grade material. Along with the controlled and precise manufacturing process, we can achieve excellent quality pellet dies to answer industry requirements. By utilization of high-grade material and implementation of the meticulous process, IDAH has supplied OEMs pellet die throughout the last 40 years with cost-effective price.

Danny Chang General Manager of IDAH Co., Ltd., was honored invited to deliver a speech at FIGAP fair on Oct. 18, 2016, sharing his experience on new technology and equipment development to how to achieve optimum quality of shrimp feed. IDAH is the process equipment solution provider for shrimp feed and premium aqua feed. Started from 1974, more than 50% customers in China, Vietnam, Thailand, India, Indonesia choose the Idah solution.

The new CDX-series horizontal dryer from IDAH. This dryer is designed with separate drying temperature zones. Each temperature zone is independently controlled for high efficient drying. With unique airflow from the top and from the bottom, provides uniform drying throughout all material layers.

In a modern shrimp feed pelleting process increasingly more liquids are added into the mash feed. This in combination with long term steam conditioning is increasing gelatinization and water stability for a better end product quality. Recipe cost optimisation can be limited if there are drying capacity restrictions. In a lot of situations moisture removal with only cooling is not enough anymore and an extra drying step is required. Moisture control is more and more crucial for quality and cost price reasons.
