With the growing demand for high-quality nutritional additives in global aquaculture and livestock feed industries, natural algae have become a preferred choice due to their rich content of trace elements, polysaccharides, amino acids, and bioactive compounds. A Russian high-end aquafeed producer aimed to ultrafine grind red algae to fully release its nutrients, enhancing feed efficiency and nutritional absorption in both aquaculture and livestock.
Client Requirements
- Material: Red algae
- Target fineness: 200–300 mesh (approximately 74–50 μm)
- Application: High-end aquafeed and livestock feed additives
- Key requirements: uniform powder, preservation of nutritional content, high production efficiency
Solution
Epic Powder recommended an Moulin classificateur d'air for the client. This equipment achieves efficient, uniform ultrafine grinding while maintaining the active components of red algae. Core advantages include:
- Efficient Grinding and Precise Classification
- Red algae are subjected to impact and friction within the grinding chamber, achieving rapid ultrafine pulverization.
- The built-in precision classification system allows flexible adjustment of the classifier valve to ensure powders reach the target fineness of 200–300 mesh, meeting feed application standards.
- Low-Temperature Grinding Protects Nutrients
- Airflow milling generates minimal heat compared to traditional mechanical grinding, effectively preserving heat-sensitive nutrients such as polysaccharides and vitamins.
- Feed Production Friendly
- The fine and uniform powder can be directly incorporated into aquafeed or livestock feed, improving feed palatability and nutritional balance.
- The system is easy to operate and maintain, suitable for continuous production to meet large-scale manufacturing needs.
Client Benefits
- Uniform powder with controlled fineness significantly improves nutritional absorption in aquafeed and livestock feed.
- Active compounds in red algae are maximally preserved, enhancing the functional value of the feed.
- Increased production efficiency and consistency reduce labor and energy costs.
Conclusion
With Poudre épique's Moulin classificateur d'air, the Russian client successfully achieved ultrafine red algae powder of 200–300 mesh, producing high-quality, high-value aquafeed and livestock feed additives. This case demonstrates the value of ultrafine grinding technology in the feed industry and provides a reliable solution for similar enterprises
