France · Division of Legris Industries Group
Clextral is a French manufacturer based in Firminy and a division of Legris Industries Group. It is organised as a French simplified joint-stock company. Clextral specialises in twin-screw extrusion and complete processing lines for food and feed, including solutions for fish, shrimp and micro-feeds, with drying and process support. Its equipment serves several industries, with feed and food among the most relevant to agriculture.
Extrusion cooks a blend of raw materials under heat and pressure inside a barrel with rotating screws, then forces it through a die to give it a set shape and structure. In aquaculture feed, this controls pellet size, density, buoyancy and stability in water, so fish and shrimp can eat the feed before it breaks down. Trials with the intended formulation, drying, fat application and operator training all influence the result.
