Various examples of a system for generating a densified product are provided. The system may include an extruder device and a liquid extraction section. The liquid extraction section may receive a material from the extruder device for densification and may then retain solids while permitting extraction of liquids as the material passes through the liquid extraction section under pressure. In various instances, a series of features forms at least a portion of the liquid extraction section and operates to retain the material on one side of the rods while permitting liquid to pass to another side of the features.

The present invention relates to a method for providing a dried fish meal product from a fish material, the method comprising (i) providing a fish material; (ii) subjecting the fish material to a pre-treatment where the water content of the fish material is reduced, wherein the pre-treatment comprises a first drying step, resulting in a pre-dried fish material, wherein the pre-dried fish material has a moisture content in the range of 15-50% (w/w) water; and (iii) subjecting the pre-dried fish material to a second drying step resulting in a dried fish product; wherein the second drying step performed in step (iii) is a spin flash drying process.
