From grain to feed
Expander technology. Essential for modern feed mills
Expander technology is a proven addition to modern animal feed installations. Scientific studies and practical results show improved digestibility, nutrient availability and feed utilisation across cattle, poultry and pig feed. It enables flexible production of meals, pellets, crumbles, expanded pellets and treated mono-components. Almex expanders combine a robust design with the Active Disc system, delivering controlled heat for feed safety, product quality and process reliability.
