Amandus Kahl
Part of the Kahl Group, Amandus Kahl provides mechanical engineering for the future. Founded in 1876, it manufactures feed mill machinery including pelleting presses, extruders and turn-key plants, and works closely with research institutions and universities as well as its international customer base. Looking forward to 2014: fish feed plant set into operation in the Maghreb After extensive market analysis Amandus Kahl has been selected as a partner for the company Rafaha Aquaculture in Tunisia. In addition to the process and plant design for the complete line, Kahl provided support regarding the basic formulas and the raw materials to be used, as well as intensive training of the operating personnel. The factory is equipped with the latest Kahl process technology, the core of which is the extrusion system with the Kahl Extruder OEE and the process control system ESEP. In the production process, the raw materials undergo the process steps of weighing, fine grinding, mixing, extrusion, drying, vacuum coating, cooling and packaging. In the first expansion stage, the factory has a capacity of 25 000 tonnes a year. Sinking, slowly sinking and floating products in various shapes and sizes can be produced. The formulas tailored to the requirements of the sea bream are characterized by a low starch and high protein content. Particularly in the area of conditioning and extrusion, Kahl process technology allows them to react to the demands of the local raw materials. Shaping and adjustment of the pellet density are realized in the extruder type OEE. This machine is equipped with the hydraulically movable die which is typical of the Kahl extruder. It allows the extruder to start with open die, which reduces waste and makes the critical process start and stop very easy. Due to the automatic opening of the die, a die change can be completed within 120 seconds. This provides additional convenience; in particular since fish feed production typically requires a variety of different pellet diameters. At the same time a high level of plant availability with a low downtime results from the rapid die change. An all-encompassing modernization package could be implemented in the periphery of the vacuum coater. In the light of continuous quality monitoring of the finished product, a new software system for batch traceability was installed. It allows much greater transparency in the production process, with the storage of more than 1 000 formulae and the retracing of production data.

It is possible to coat or spray each pellet with precisely the right amount of powder or liquid such as pre- and probiotics, vitamins, enzymes, oils and fat, which is homogeneously distributed deep into the pellet. The vacuum core coating system for basic, premium and super-premium products, with hygienic design (heating system) averts salmonella risk. During the production process a robust protective layer is applied to each pellet, which prevents the pellet from breaking or crumbling and conserves valuable ingredients contained in the pellet. In combination with the Hamex Hammermill and Pegasus Mixing technology we supply innovative process equipment with more added value. Partnership and good feedback are the key drivers to share know how and create more added value and innovation. We are introducing Lean Six Sigma Methodology for more efficient production and quality improvement, with fewer components and less intermediate storage, to reduce contamination risks. For example, gravity is used instead of pneumatic conveying at initial infeed to a process unit.

Leiber brewers yeast products - natural power for reliable aquaculture performance
Aquaculture has faced a tremendous and persistent boom over the past decades, accompanied by an intensification of production. In todays intensive and expansive modern aquaculture, fish and shellfish are often subjected to a plethora of various stressors in their living environment. A chronic stress response is generally believed to suppress or dysregulate immune functions and makes the organism more susceptible to pathogens with the eventual risk of causing diseases. Therefore, the famous phrase prevention is better than cure takes on more and more significance in todays aquatic animal husbandry. The multibiotic action of the Leiber products used in aquafeeds is an important contribution to animal health and performance by prophylactically strengthening the animal against those stressors in aquaculture husbandry. Leibers key products for aquaculture are: Leiber Beta-S a highly purified (1,3)-(1,6)--D-Glucan for strong, immunocompetent fish Biolex MB40 Mannanoligosaccharides (MOS) for gut protection and health Leiber Yeast Autolysate - Nucleotides for optimal cell regeneration and cell repair In 2014 it will be 60 years that Leiber has supplied high value brewers yeast products under the Made in Germany banner throughout the world. With two locations in Lower Saxony, Germany, as well as additional production facilities in Poland and Russia, Leibers over 160 dedicated specialists manufacture brewers yeast products and yeast extracts of the highest quality standard. The certification with the ISO 22000:2005 standard in 2013 highlights this quality of production. Leibers focus on supporting the aquaculture industry has been increased by the staff reinforcement with Mr. Holger Khlwein as the Key Account Manager for aquaculture in April 2013. His responsibilities include among other things supporting and expanding existing markets, recruiting new sales partners and the individual scientific support.
