Akucell AF 3285 - Feed

Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) is an anionic, water soluble, cellulose derivative with carboxymethyl groups. It works as a strong pellet binder to produce pellets with a superior durability and hardness at low inclusion levels.

• As pellet binder - It is best choice for duck feed to achieve superior Pellet Durability Index (PDI) and desired pellet hardness. Also to achieve water stability of shrimp pellets.
• For pet food - It can partially substitute blood plasma protein and / or carrageenan in the formula for cost reduction.
• For aquafeed - Achieve improved water stability, moisture and distribution of ingredients.

1. As Pellet Binder
   • Improves pellets integrity, durability and stability
   • Reduces nutrient leaching and prevent fragmentation and abrasion of pellets during handling
   • Effective at low inclusion levels
   • Non-toxic at recommended inclusion levels
   • Improve pellet quality in ruminant feed even with high fiber inclusion
2. For Aquafeed
   • Pellet binder for aquafeed
     • Improves pellets integrity, durability and stability
     • Reduces nutrient leaching and prevent fragmentation and abrasion of pellets during handling
     • Highest water stability, recommended also for shrimp feed
     • Effective at low inclusion levels
   • Starch replacement in fish feed (salmon)
     • Allows partial substitution of starch in the formula, releasing space for other nutrients critical for the nutritional value
3. For Pet Food
   • Moist foods
     • Fast and efficient viscosity build up of gravy from coated kibbles
     • Efficient thickening and water binding in canned pet food
     • Improved binding of pate-like products
     • Uniform distribution of fat and meat
     • Keep feed freshness
     • Cost efficient replacer to reduce blood plasma protein
   • Semi-moist foods
     • Excellent extrusion aid
     • Even distribution of fine particles
   • Dry foods
     • Efficient thickening and water binding with reduced disintegration
     • Moist holding
     • Good texture

As Pellet Binder

• Helps minimize production costs by reducing fines and dust (lower reprocessing costs)
• Nutritionally inert and does not react with nutrients in feed
• Supports easy handling and storing of feeds
• Offers flexibility of including high dust low cost feed ingredients to reduce feed formulation costs
• Dissolves easily in hot and cold water
• No effect on the smell and taste

For Aquafeed

• Helps minimize production costs by reducing fines and dust (lower reprocessing costs)
• Nutritionally inert and does not react with nutrients in feed
• Supports easy handling and storing of feeds
• Offers flexibility of including high dust low cost feed ingredients to reduce feed formulation costs
• No effect on the smell and taste

For Pet Food

• Sustainable, cost effective and reliable alternative to guar gum
• Improves texture and consistency
• Effective at low concentration
• Recommended as binder and extrusion aid
• Dissolves easily in hot and cold water
• No effect on the smell and taste

As Pellet Binder

• CMC is recommended at the rate of 0.5-1 kg per ton of feed depending on feed formulation and processing conditions.

As Starch Replacer

• 5 or 6 parts of starch can be replaced by 1 part of CMC. It can be used for this application up to 1%.

CMC is recommended to be added directly into the mixer. For best results, ensure accurate addition and thorough mixing of the product.

Packing multiply paper bags with an inner polyethylene bag.

• The shelf life is 3 years from date of production provided when the material is stored in the original bags under dry and cool conditions.
• The viscosity of cellulose gum may decrease slightly in time.
