La etapa de lavado consiste en someter alga que se utilizará como materia prima a una inmersión en solución acuosa conteniendo Cloruro de Sodio en una concentración que puede ir entre un 1% y un 5% peso/volumen. La relación alga a agua a utilizar irá de 1:2 a 1:6. The washing stage consists of subjecting algae that will be used as raw material to an immersion in an aqueous solution containing Sodium Chloride in a concentration that can range between 1% and 5% weight / volume. The algae to water ratio to be used will range from 1: 2 to 1: 6.
Una vez tratadas según el paso anterior, las algas serán desaguadas, lo que consiste en el drenaje de todo el líquido libre procedente de las etapas anteriores. Once treated according to the previous step, the algae will be drained, which consists of draining all the free liquid from the previous stages.
Una vez desaguadas, las algas serán sometidas a una etapa de picado para lo que se utilizará un picador de cuchillos o un molino de martillos. En cualquiera de los casos, el tamaño del producto será después de esta etapa de entre 1 y 15 cm. Once drained, the algae will undergo a chopping stage for which a knife chopper or a hammer mill will be used. In either case, the size of the product will be between 1 and 15 cm after this stage.
Posteriormente las algas entrarán a una etapa de Secado, utilizando para ello ya sea, un secador mecánico alimentado por aire caliente, preferentemente tipo cinta o de lecho fluidizado, o bien un secador natural, que utiliza la energía del sol para el secado de las algas. En cualquiera de los casos, el producto tendrá al finalizar esta etapa una humedad entre 5 y 15%. Una vez seco el producto, una parte de este será sometido a molienda hasta un tamaño de entre 0,1 mm y 2 mm. Subsequently, the algae will enter a drying stage, using either a mechanical dryer fed by hot air, preferably a belt or fluidized bed type, or a natural dryer, which uses the sun's energy to dry the algae. . In any of the cases, the product will have a humidity between 5 and 15% at the end of this stage. Once the product is dry, a part of it will be subjected to grinding to a size of between 0.1 mm and 2 mm.
Luego, el producto molido será sometido a una hidratación parcial controlada para lo cual este es contactado con agua en cantidad suficiente para aumentar su contenido de humedad hasta valores entre 20 y 40%, preferentemente 25 a 35%. Then, the ground product will be subjected to a controlled partial hydration for which it is contacted with water in sufficient quantity to increase its moisture content to values between 20 and 40%, preferably 25 to 35%.
El producto prehidratado será entonces pelletizado, utilizando para ello ya sea una peletizadora o una extrusora, con capacidad para manejar el producto, lo que cualquier entendido en estas técnicas puede recomendar. The prehydrated product will then be pelletized, using either a pelletizer or an extruder, with the capacity to handle the product, which anyone knowledgeable in these techniques can recommend.
Durante el pelletizado se crea la preforma mediante alta presión (extrusión) y se cortan las porciones o unidades. Esto, junto con la criba utilizada serán las responsables de la forma final que tendrán los pellets, lo cual para este producto irá desde los 2 a los 30 mm de largo y los 2 y 12 mm de diámetro; dependiendo del producto final que se quiera obtener y a la vez del tipo y tamaño de animal para el que se orientará su uso. During pelletizing, the preform is created by high pressure (extrusion) and the portions or units are cut. This, together with the screen used, will be responsible for the final shape that the pellets will have, which for this product will range from 2 to 30 mm long and 2 and 12 mm in diameter; depending on the final product that you want to obtain and at the same time the type and size of animal for which its use will be oriented.
Una vez obtenido los pellets en el tamaño deseado, se procede a la etapa de Tamizado, consistente en el paso de los pellets por una superficie vibratoria con agujeros de 2 mm de abertura (10 mesh), la que tiene por objetivo remover cualquier resto de polvo que eventualmente acompañe a los pellets a la siguiente etapa. Once the pellets have been obtained in the desired size, we proceed to the Sieving stage, consisting of passing the pellets through a vibrating surface with 2 mm aperture holes (10 mesh), which aims to remove any remainder of powder that eventually accompanies the pellets to the next stage.
La etapa siguiente cosiste en el Mezclado de los pellets, ya sea con otros pellets de igual o distinto tamaño; o bien con trozos de alga provenientes de la etapa de picado y que no han pasado por las etapas subsecuentes. En esta los porcentajes de mezcla son variables, dependiendo del tipo de animal al que esté destinado el producto. Cualquiera sea el caso, luego de la etapa de mezclado, el producto está listo y será envasado según el formato comercial que se defina. Típicamente sacos de papel Kraft con capacidad para 1,5; 3,6; 10; 20 o 25 Kg.

Adicionalmente, por la orientación de uso de este producto, fue sometido a test electroquímico de retención de olores, para lo cual se utilizó un kit Dráger™ ''Gas Detection Tubes - Ammonia 5 to 100 ppm". Para este parámetro se realizaron 4 mediciones, para las cuales el resultado el resultado fue de 5 ppm en 1 medición y ND (no detectable) para 4 mediciones, lo que quiere decir que el nivel de olor percibido es inferior al nivel de detección de la prueba (5 ppm). Si bien no existe una especificación para este parámetro, se debe considerar que en la industria química (OSHA) hay un límite de 25 ppm para amoniaco, siendo esta la concentración más alta permitida a los que los humanos pueden estar expuestos: ocho horas al día, cinco días a la semana. Additionally, due to the orientation of use of this product, it was subjected to an electrochemical odor retention test, for which a Dráger ™ kit "Gas Detection Tubes - Ammonia 5 to 100 ppm" was used. For this parameter, 4 measurements were made , for which the result was 5 ppm in 1 measurement and ND (not detectable) for 4 measurements, which means that the perceived odor level is lower than the detection level of the test (5 ppm). Although there is no specification for this parameter, it must be considered that in the chemical industry (OSHA) there is a limit of 25 ppm for ammonia, this being the highest concentration allowed to which humans can be exposed: eight hours a day, five days a week.
