Fish are processed into fish meal and used as a supplementary protein food. In the processing, the oil is first extracted to produce a wet fish cake containing 80 wt% water and 20 wt% bone-dry-cake. This wet cake feed is dried in rotary -drum dryers to tive a dry fish cake containing 40 wt% water. Finally, the product is finely ground and packed. Calculate the kg/h of wet cake needed to produce 1000 kg/h of dry fish cake product.
