World-class food & feed processing technologies

14/10/2026

When it comes to aqua feed, nutrition is only part of the story.

A feed can have the right protein, fat, vitamins and minerals — but if the pellet breaks, sinks too quickly, creates excessive fines or loses stability in water, that nutrition may never reach the fish.

In Week 10 of the CFAM African Aqua Feed Value Initiative, Prof LJ Grobler explores why pellet size, density, buoyancy, water stability, durability, moisture and oil retention are just as important as formulation.

Nutritional quality creates the potential for performance. Physical quality ensures that potential is delivered to the fish.

Read the full article to learn why the pellet matters as much as the nutrition.

Why Scaling Up Is More Than Just Building a Bigger Plant

Many people assume that once a product works in the laboratory, success at commercial scale is guaranteed.

In reality, scale-up is one of the most critical phases of any food manufacturing project.

Questions that must be answered include:

• Can the product be manufactured consistently?
• Will quality remain stable?
• Can production costs be controlled?
• Can throughput targets be achieved?
• Will shelf life remain acceptable?
• Can operators consistently reproduce results?

A structured scale-up programme helps ensure that successful pilot products become successful commercial products.

The objective is not simply to make more product.

The objective is to maintain quality, consistency, and profitability at commercial scale.

This is where experience and technical support become critical.

Instant porridge is one of the most practical applications of extrusion technology.

It is convenient, easy to prepare and can be developed using locally available grains such as maize, sorghum, oats or millet. With the right formulation, it can also support affordable nutrition for schools, families and communities.

Every successful food product starts with an idea

Behind every product on a supermarket shelf is a journey.

It often starts with a simple idea, followed by market research, product development, testing, pilot trials, process optimisation and commercial scale-up.

Each step helps reduce uncertainty and improves the chance of success.

Many companies run into challenges when they try to skip important steps in the process.

Food innovation is not a once-off event.
It is a structured journey from idea to market launch.

Commercial success is rarely accidental.
It is systematically developed.

A modern aqua feed plant is more than an extruder — it is a complete and integrated production system.

In our latest blog, Prof LJ Grobler explores the key stages that influence final feed quality, from raw-material intake, grinding and dosing to preconditioning, extrusion, drying, coating, cooling, screening and packaging.

Each step plays a role in achieving the right pellet size, density, water stability, moisture, durability and nutritional consistency.

The key takeaway: even the best extruder cannot compensate for weaknesses elsewhere in the process.

Snack extrusion can be seriously satisfying to watch. 👀

From raw material to a light, expanded snack, extrusion technology makes it possible to control shape, texture and consistency at scale.

Another example of what’s possible with CFAM extrusion technology.

The smartest investment before building a plant

Launching a new production facility is a major investment, and the most expensive lessons are often the ones learned too late.

Pilot trials help companies test the product, recipe, ingredients, texture, cost, packaging and market acceptance before committing to full-scale production.

They also help generate samples, compare formulations and build more realistic financial models.

Successful companies reduce risk before investing.

Before building a plant, first build confidence in the product, process and market opportunity.

A plant only becomes valuable when it runs.

CFAM supports clients through installation and commissioning to help ensure that the plant is correctly set up, tested and prepared for production.

From the factory floor to the final product, our team works to help clients get their extrusion plants operational.

Why pilot trials save companies millions

Before investing in a full production facility, pilot trials help companies test and understand the product, recipe and process.

They provide valuable insight into product quality, ingredient performance, texture, moisture control, consistency and production stability.

Pilot trials help identify challenges before major capital is committed.

The cost of testing is small compared to the cost of fixing mistakes after a plant has already been installed.

The most successful projects are based on data, not assumptions.

Before investing millions, invest in understanding.
