Australian company FoodStream will present its Aquafeed Extrusion program for the first time in Chile from October 22 to 24 at the Catholic University of Temuco.
This 3-day course, which has been run annually in Norway since 2015, covers the principles of extrusion, the design of extrusion processes, and the formulation of extruded aquafeeds. Principles learned will be demonstrated using the extruder in the University of Temuco pilot plant.
Course organizer and co-presenter Gordon Young commented “We are looking forward to working with the Department of Agricultural and Aquaculture Sciences (Departamento de Ciencias Agropecuarias y Acuícolas). Accessing their excellent pilot plant facility for a demonstration is a major advantage.”
Program topics cover the basics of extruders and their configuration, through what is happening inside the extruder barrel, to an understanding of extruder dies and extruder instability. Examples in product formulation and the design of extrusion processes demonstrate application of the theory.
The course will be presented in English, but attendees from the University will be available to help translate questions and clarify answers.
