hello
I have an extruder inotec 100 (production = 500Kg per hour
We try to make fish feed for african catfish but don't have a good formula: the pellet is not floating and we have a recurent problem: the extrusion process works for 7 seconds then we have a blast with vapor and dry flour coming through the extruder for 7 seconds, then it works again for 7 second and the cycle starts again
What is wrong???
also how much humidity and fat should we have before extrusion (we are working wiyh 20% humidity and 5% fat)

thank you

hello,
the problem may not in formula but in extruder head and extrusion conditions.
