Forberg® Rotating Vacuum Coater
Forberg® developed the Rotating Vacuum Coater (RVC) in the early 90s for the Norwegian fish farming industry for the production of oil core coated feed.
Today Forberg® produces the third generation of Forberg Coaters, which have found their applications in many industries outside of aquafeed. Anywhere where you have extruded pellets that need high penetration core coating, the RVC is used. Pet food, fish feed, shrimp feed, poultry feed, muesli and snacks are typical products coated in our machine.
The unique feature of the Forberg RVC is the fully automated Cleaning in Place (CIP) system, very convenient for processes with zero-tolerance for cross contamination between different recipes such as medicated feed production. Push the button, and during a 30 minutes lunch break, the machine is clean and ready for a new recipe.
Other practical, operational benefits include removed discharge doors – no pellet breakage, closed system, powder addition and always perfectly mixed.
Advantages – Vacuum Coating Technology
- Significant impact on nutritional quality of feed
- High penetration of liquids
