How crucial would you say that vacuum coating has been
to the feed industry over the past 25 years?
Vacuum coating originated from the wish to increase fatpercentages in aqua feed. Until then, a fat percentage of only 20
percent was possible. With our technology, the percentages were
raised to an average of 35 percent; sometimes achieving results as
high as 42 percent.
This was a breakthrough for the quality of aqua feed. High energy
feed could be fed, with other advantages like reduced leaching; thus
preventing pollution and loss of functional ingredients.
Later, Dinnissen introduced the Pegasus Vacuum Coater in the
feed industry. One of the main advantages of vacuum coating is
that the pellets arent greasy on the outside anymore. This increases
the flow out of the silo, prevents pollution of the silo and reduces
contaminations for the farmers.
Furthermore, it improves the feed efficiency and increases the
stability of the feed. This results in huge savings on feed-recall and
improves efficiency for both the feed producers as the farmers.
