Manufacturing processes

The pellets can be manufactured by two different processes:

The dry route

A simple and relatively cheap process of dry production of pellets from a mixture of cereal products.

Disadvantages:

• Crumbly pellets, disintegrating easily into dust, 
• The pellets dissolve rapidly in rain.

 The damp route

A more complex process to produce pellets, used by Clartex.

 The manufacture starts from selected flour or durum wheat. By adding water a mixture is obtained similar to pasta which is extruded through a mould pierced with holes.

 Avantages :

• Non friable high quality pellets, which swell in the presence of humidity without disintegrating, 
• Very appetising to slugs,
• 3 weeks persistent activity (for a rainfall of 30 to 40 mm/week) .
