Our team had a great week at Victam Asia 2024. Thank you to everyone who visited our booth to experience the all-new TwinTech Extruder, Pellet Mill 7900 and other solutions for the animal feed, aquafeed and pet food markets.

IDAH Pellet mill is known for its ability to handle high moisture feed mash up to 17% (%db), while maintaining a good post-conditioning process, to ensure pellets come out with high Pellet Durability Index (PDI) and water stability.

0.8 mm shrimp feed pellet made by IDAH Pellet Mill. In the last 3 years, we are actively commencing trials on producing crumble feed substitutes by utilizing pellet die with 0.8 mm hole size. Trials in our customer site showed satisfactory results and they are already continuing to produce this small-size shrimp feed. Now, we are happy to officially introduce this pellet die to the market.

The production of high-quality shrimp (or prawn) feed is a series of complex and versatile processes. Shrimp feed pelleting is well known in Asia as the most economical way and it dominates the market. In China and India, the shrimp feed (for L. vannamei and P. monodon) market grew exponentially in these few years. Through this presentation, IDAH will guide you to the world of shrimp feed pelleting. In general making shrimp feed is influenced by good formulation and good processing, but the factory floorplan is also accountable for the shrimp feed quality.

Another successful commissioning of the fish feed plant in Indonesia. This fish feed plant utilizes the latest technology from IDAH. The main machines supplied include the hammer mill XHM-1400, extruder EP-218, horizontal dryer CDX-1250, and vacuum coater VC-2000. This production line is intended for production of 8 ton per hour floating fish feed with 3.0 mm hole size

Choosing the right equipment is the first step for the success of the production process. Idah PM-series pellet mill which include PM-42, PM-51, PM-53 and PM-635 has been produced since 1980. These pellet mills have become the trademark in shrimp feed pelleting ever since.

The animal feed comes in many forms. Pelleted or mash feeds are popular in the market. Both products share a similar production sequence until the mixing process. pelleted feed needs to undergo pellet mill, cooler, and sifter after the mash is prepared. Mash feed is a form of a complete feed that is finely ground and mixed so that animals or birds cannot easily separate the essential nutrients. The purpose of feeding mash diet is to provide a well-balanced diet, give greater growth unification, less death-incurred loss also feeding mash feed is more economical. When producing mash feed, the material undergoes pre-grinding before mixing and packing. Pelleted feed is the continuation of mash feed. The purpose of pelleting is for easy transport and feeding. The nutrient value in every pellet is the same, so farmed animals will consume all the good nutrients incorporated inside the pellets.

Shrimp feed can be produced by two methods, pelleting or extrusion, depending on the dietary of the shrimp species. For the majority of the markets in Asia, pelleting solutions are still highly recommended. This page will give a comprehensive description of the pellet mill system. If you are interested to know more about the extrusion process.

Other than chicken feed, duck feed is also a major type of poultry feed. The formulation for duck feed contains a high concentration of fiber and makes the mash very puffy. It is a rule of thumb to know that it is relatively harder to treat any formulation with a high fiber level using massive direct steam. Over-dosed direct steam will eventually create cracks on the surface. The concentration of fiber and pellet quality is equally proportional. However, a high concentration of fiber will lower the efficiency of pelleting capacity. Around one percent of water can be added to the mixer to compensate for any raw material for pre-hydrating. This pre-hydrating by the mixer will help in the pelleting process.

Biofuel pellets or Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF-5) made from biomass waste is becoming common as one of the renewable energy sources. IDAH provides core pieces of equipment and solutions in resource recovery and production of biofuel pellets production. Raw material for biomass pellet: Agricultural waste: crop stalk and straw material, rice husk, cotton stalk, coffee husk, alfalfa straw, coconut shell, palm shell, sugarcane bagasse, etc. Forestry residue: sawmill residue, branches, bark, leaves, etc. Solid waste: junk paper, waste plastic, cardboard, etc. A high-quality biomass pellet would result in a higher calorific value with lower moisture and ash contents.

Wood pellet line is the process of making wood waste into solid fuels which are used for burning purposes. Wood Pellet is generally made from compacted sawdust and related industrial wastes from the milling of lumber, manufacture of wood products and furniture, and construction. IDAH offers complete process solutions and consultancy that will help you integrate smoothly into the wood pellet business. In producing wood pellets, there are some important variables that we need to pay attention to, such as raw material purity, moisture content, particle size, and pellet strength.

Robust Pellet Mill for Your Industry／ IDAH Pellet mill is renowned for its robustness and can make high-quality pellets from 0.8 mm to 12mm. IDAH has different pellet mill model which is tailor-designed for a diverse product: aqua feed, animal feed, wood pellet, or biomass product

Sharing is caring- IDAH cares for your needs webinar for shrimp feed pelleting technology Through this two hours webinar, IDAH shared the 40 years' worth of knowledge in shrimp feed production to the diverse audience of how shrimp feed is produced in the Asia Pacific (APAC). In APAC, pelleted shrimp feed is the preferred process of shrimp feed due to shrimp's slow feeding habit and high palatability as the result of feed smell preservation. During the webinar, IDAH also explained the production critical points, the importance of batch process, cooking of the material by pre-conditioner and post conditioner, and also good packing method. This webinar also pointed out how to troubleshoot issues that frequently arise during production.

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.

The Skretting brand means quality. Where there is quality shrimp feed, there is IDAH equipment.

This seminar was held on August 11, 2018, in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, India. In 1994, Taiwan ranked 9th in aquaculture production and 6th for the production value on the global scale. Taiwan’s technology has made remarkable contributions to the development of the world’s shrimp farming industry. Taiwan is also known as the “Kingdom of Shrimp Farming” and has been the world’s leading position in terms of both yield and output.
