As the global appetite for fish continues to grow, aquaculture has become essential in meeting demand. With seafood consumption doubling over the past 50 years, fish farms are now a key source of high-protein food. But to grow healthy fish, you need high-quality feed.
Aquafeed production is booming, particularly in Asia-Pacific, where countries like China, India, and Vietnam are leading the way. To reduce reliance on traditional fishmeal, many producers are turning to plant-based protein sources like soybean and corn gluten. These alternatives offer sustainable solutions—but only if processed correctly.
One of the biggest challenges is drying. Improper drying of these protein-rich materials can lead to nutrient loss, directly impacting feed quality and fish health.
That’s where fluid bed drying technology comes in. By gently fluidizing and uniformly drying the product, it preserves nutrients and ensures consistent quality—critical in aquafeed production. Controlled temperature and airflow create the optimal conditions to protect sensitive ingredients.
With the right drying solution in place, aquafeed producers can meet rising demand, improve sustainability, and deliver protein-rich feed that supports both fish health and food security.
