On July 8-9th, 2020 the fourth edition of the Aqua Feed Extrusion Conference took to the stage, teaching attendees how to optimise their feed processing systems. The conference was organised through collaboration with International Aquafeed magazine, Dr Mian Riaz of Texas A&M University and VNU Exhibitions. For the very first time, the Aqua Feed Extrusion Conference was hosted online, in response to COVID-19. Despite the change in format, our ten expert speakers gave informative presentations to 70+ attendees on both days of the event and the conference proved to be a great success for all involved.
Single- or twin-screw extruders for aqua feed?
by Dr Mian Riaz, Texas A&M University
Following opening comments by International Aquafeed Publisher Roger Gilbert and VNU’s Business Development Manager Roel Schoenmaker, Dr Mian Riaz gave an extremely useful and thorough introduction to the different benefits of both single-screw and twin-screw extrusion.
Whilst single-screw extrusion has typically been the most widely used method of extrusion for the past 30 years, twin-screw extrusion is rapidly gaining popularity within the feed industry. Twin-screw extruders allow for greater flexibility when handling both unique products and parameters, but also carry a weightier price tag. Dr Riaz went on to discuss why users might opt for either single-screw or twin-screw extruders, providing attendees with plenty of information to make the best decision for their own businesses.
Foundations of processing centre design

Mr Iman returned to the Aqua Feed Extrusion Conference once again to provide more insight into optimising your extrusion project/facility. Proper investments into project planning are vital to a successful extrusion project, he emphasises, but managing a new project on a large scale can prove to be a daunting task, which is where Corporate Project Services (CPS) can help.
CPS offer professional services for those looking to establish a plant, providing customers with detailed facility layout drawings, flow diagrams, plant ROI, plant P&ID, Food Safety Programme assistance and a variety of other project management services. Feasibility studies, equipment layout, facility audits and contractor plans are only some of the many features that companies must take into account when establishing new facilities, and CPS can offer comprehensive support throughout every stage of plant production.
