Join international extrusion consultant, Peter Hutchinson of EN Hutchinson Ltd, Auckland, New Zealand, for an afternoon of talks on extrusion technology at Aquafeed Horizons Asia 2012.

The workshop, part of Aquafeed.com's 6th international conference series for aquafeed professionals, will comprise two sessions: Practical Extrusion and Diet Development for Extrusion Processing.

Practical extrusion will focus on feed extrusion principals, incorporating screw designs, screw profiles; die design, extruder trouble shooting, drying and cooling.

Practical nutrition will look at diet development for extrusion processing: sourcing locally available material, matching extruder profile to formulation, die design in relation to species and high retention (water stable) diets, optimizing the pellet through extruder settings (cook, minimizing nutritional damage, stability and density),  basic quality control,  post coating and density control (through coating and dryer design).

Peter will be joined by an international panel of extrusion experts to help find solutions to your extrusion problems - so come armed with your questions !

Aquafeed Horizons Asia 2012 will take place February 15, 2012 at the BICC, Bangkok, Thailand, during the region's premier feed industry event, Victam Asia 2012. Register now to make sure of your place at this conference at www.feedconferences.com.
