Click2Contact

Australian technical support company FoodStream runs a range of short courses in areas such as extrusion, thermal processing and drying.

Internationally, the company works with the Institute for Food Research and Product Development at Kasetsart University in Thailand to provide an ‘applied’ version of the Food & Feed Extrusion program, using a range of equipment to involve attendees in making five different types of product on three different types of extruder in the three-day program.

Cooperation with the Centre for Feed Technology (FôrTek) at the University of Life Sciences (NMBU) in Norway led to an Aquafeed Extrusion program being run using the centre’s facility. In 2016 the Aquafeed Extrusion program will run again, with an additional course on Food & Feed Drying Technology as well.

In cooperation with CSIRO’s Food Innovation Centre in Werribee, Victoria, Food & Feed Extrusion courses are held at CSIRO’s facility. In 2016, the first cooperative ‘Food Drying Technology’ course will be held.

The company uses the Goulburn-Ovens TAFE facility for retorting/thermal processing training and provides retort training to the seafood canning industry in the Pacific, with courses in Papua New Guinea and Fiji.

Training programs are also provided to a range of food companies at their premises.
