Nicolai Nexus, Manager of Automation, Andritz Feed & Biofuel A/S, Denmark will discuss process automation as a key to secure consistent aquafeed quality and cost efficient operation at Aquafeed Horizons 2015.

Most aqua feed process plants are making a wide variety of specialized feeds with very exact properties in terms of specific pellet size, density, moisture content, and texture. All to be made from a wide range of formulas, and based on feed ingredients of different origin, further influenced by seasonal availability and maturation.

On top of that, most plant are producing the feeds “just in time” to secure freshest possible feeds to the aquaculture farms. This often leads to requirements for frequent changes in products and short runs. Efficient automation systems for the entire extrusion process line, extruder, dryer, coater and cooler are key to repetitively secure quick start-ups to reach maximum capacity at the desired - and consistent quality and with less dependency from the human factor. Further the process statistics derived from automation systems provides essential knowledge in support of trimming the process line, optimizing line efficiency and costs of production.
On-line connections allows for remote monitoring, best practice sharing, and long-distance support.

Nicolai Nexus joins a strong line up of industry and R&D experts for the 8th in the series of international conferences.
