For Pet Food and Aqua Feed Industry.

Perfectly designed for all demands.
The Bühler Single-Screw Extruder completely fulfills process requirements of the

pet food and aqua feed industry as capacity, screw speed, torque and pressure.
Thanks to its modular design, this machine is extremely flexible in application and
can be adapted to the specific needs. High sanitation standards, excellent
workmanship and an outstanding price-performance ratio make the extruder
the ideal solution in the field of Pet food and Aqua feed extrusion.

the production process speeds up considerably.
Maintenance costs for the extruder are minimized: the interior
casing is extremely resistant to wear. Bühler offers a barrel
wear measurement service to detect wear and tear in good
time. In this way, parts can be replaced at an early stage to
ensure stable product quality.
