Introduction

Kerone Fish Food Dryers are purpose-built drying systems engineered to convert wet or semi-moist raw materials into stable, shelf-ready fish feed – pellets, flakes, crumbs or extruded diets – while preserving nutritional value and palatability. Designed for aquafeed manufacturers and integrated fish-feed lines, these dryers combine controlled airflow, gentle heat and precise residence-time control to remove moisture evenly, prevent spoilage, and deliver consistent product quality across a wide range of formulations.

The aquaculture industry is one of the world’s fastest-growing food production sectors, and high-quality fish feed manufacturing is central to sustainable aquaculture output. Fish feeds present unique drying challenges: the products must reach very low moisture levels (typically 8–12%) without compromising pellet integrity, sinking/floating behavior, water stability, and the survival of heat-sensitive additives such as probiotics, enzymes, immunostimulants, and pigments like astaxanthin. Kerone’s fish food dryers are engineered to meet these precise requirements across a wide range of species-specific fish feed formulations.

Why Choose Kerone Fish Food Dryers

Choose Kerone Fish Food Dryers for reliable performance, hygienic construction and lower lifecycle cost. Kerone designs prioritize food-grade materials, easy cleaning, and automation that keeps drying parameters within tight tolerances so manufacturers get high throughput with minimal nutrient loss, reduced rework and predictable energy consumption. Backed by local service and customization options, Kerone dryers help scale operations without compromising feed quality or regulatory compliance.
Our machines are designed for the demanding operating environments of aquafeed mills with corrosion-resistant materials, sealed bearing housings, and easy-access inspection panels. Whether you produce feeds for shrimp, salmon, tilapia, catfish, or ornamental species, Kerone configures the right drying solution for your specific pellet size, feed rate, and moisture target.

Types and Features of Fish Food Dryers

Kerone offers a range of dryer types suited to different production scales and product formats: continuous belt/tunnel dryers for high-volume pellet lines, tray and cabinet dryers for batch or small-scale runs, and fluidized-bed or rotary systems for delicate flakes and crumbs. Each dryer features adjustable airflow distribution, staged heating zones, and PLC control for recipe-driven drying, plus optional features such as multi-stage dehumidification, reclaim-and-reuse of exhaust heat, and integrated cooling conveyors to lock in moisture targets.
We also offers drum flakers with precision scrapers and low-temperature drying chambers that preserve colour-enhancing pigments and natural attractants. All systems feature food-grade stainless-steel construction, dust collection systems, and variable-speed drives for energy-efficient operation at any production scale.

Key Features

  • Food-grade stainless steel contact surfaces and hygienic design for easy cleaning and HACCP compatibility.
  • Multi-zone temperature and airflow control (PLC) for consistent, repeatable drying profiles.
  • Gentle low-temperature drying options to preserve proteins, oils and vitamins.
  • High thermal efficiency with heat-recovery and insulation options to reduce energy use.
  • Modular capacity — scalable conveyors/trays to match small to large production lines.
  • Uniform airflow distribution and adjustable residence time to prevent hotspots and over-drying.
  • Easy access doors, quick-release trays/belts, and CIP-friendly layouts for fast maintenance.
  • Customizable configurations (belt width, tray size, exhaust treatment) to suit product chemistry and downstream handling.
