Thousands of visitors attended the 32nd annual Space exhibition in Rennes, France, to discover the latest in innovation from the world’s aquaculture sector in 11 specially constructed halls. The exhibition took place between September 11 – 14 and attracted more than 50 foreign journalists as well as plenty from France.
The event is organised by Anne Marie Quemener who has a long association with Space. Anne Marie succeeded Paul Kerdraon on January 1, 2016 as exhibition manager of Space.
Marie says, “we can all be proud of this 32nd edition of Space. Despite a highly competitive context, the whole world is here in Rennes to be inspired by the Breton farming model recognised for its performance and quality.
“A great result. I once again express my thanks to the exhibitors who contribute so much to our success by the enormous quality of their stands and their willingness to make Space a major event. The numerous innovations presented allow visitors to get a foretaste of tomorrow's solutions. This energy and drive have been reinforced over the four days of the show by its collective nature, the strongest possible demonstration that the different links in the chain of producers, associations, food industry and distributors must work hand in hand to build an ever more competitive agriculture.”
The Perendale Extrusion Course
Space 2018 began with a special one-day conference organised by Perendale Publishers about the importance of extrusion. It was attended by over 30 delegates from animal feed producers to Nigerian Tilapia and Catfish farmers.
The one-day short course was designed specially for aquafeed processing professionals and began with an introduction by International Aquafeed’s Circulation and Events Manager, Tuti Tan.
Tuti gave an impassioned speech about the importance of aquaculture and how fish will replace meat as the protein of choice for the consumer. She introduced world renowned extrusion expert Dr Mian Riaz from Texas A&M University who gave a fascinating insight into extrusion and how it can be low cost yet still effective. He started by explaining about the differences between single and twin screw extrusion before fielding many questions from the delegation about extrusion in developing countries.
Tim Hartter, of Corporate Project Service, a division of Wenger, gave a talk about the benefits of proper planning when it comes to building extrusion plant and the importance of separating functions within the plant – so called hygienic zoning.
Mr Hartter has over 43 years of experience in the extrusion industry and was lead designer for Wenger’s twin screw extruder. He is certified Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) and has worked with various agencies and universities to validate the extrusion process as a viable preventive control step for pathogens.
Alain Brisset, of Clextral, who sponsored the conference, spoke about twin screw extruders which Clextral specialise in, and the fact that 30 to 40 million tonnes of compound feeds is currently necessary for the fish industry.
