Floating Fish Feed Extruder Machine


The floating fish feed extruder machine is designed for producing aquatic feed like for making fish feed pellets, tilapia feed pellets, catfish feed pellets, shrimp feed pellets, crab feed pellets, goldfish fed pellets, etc.

Working principle and video of floating fish feed extruder machine

During the process of processing fish feed pellets, the powdered feed raw materials are fed into the extruder machine, and the volume of the extrusion chamber gradually decreases along the moving direction of the material, and the expanding pressure of the material gradually increases.  At the same time, the movement of the material in the extrusion chamber is accompanied by strong shear, rubbing and friction.  

After a continuous process of mixing, tempering, heating, pressurizing, extruding out of the die holes, sudden rumbling, as well as cutting into pellet segments, drying, stabilizing, etc., the fish feed pellets are finally produced.

Floating Fish Feed Extruder Machine Introduction

A floating fish feed extruder machine is a kind of fish feed pellet processing equipment, it is suitable for large and medium fish feed mills and aquaculture farms. Nowadays, fish feed pellets are more and more popular with the fish farmers, they can provide balanced nutrition and easy digestion and absorption for fish, and many farmers tend to buy a fish feed pellet extruder machine produce fish feed pellets by themselves to low the cost. At the same time, due to the fish feed pellets have high profit and large market space, many pellet choose to start a fish feed pellet business through building a fish feed mill. A wet single screw extruder is the ideal equipment when making floating fish feed.

 Here RICHI fish feed extruder machine is recommended for fish feed pellet production, which is the ideal pellet machine in processing fish feed pellets.

  • Final feed pellet size : 0.9mm~10mm
  • Capacity:1-12T/H
  • Raw materials: rice straw meal, soybean cake, peanut cake, corn protein powder, rice bran, bran, acacia leaf powder, and so on.

Why using the floating fish feed extruder machine?

  • The extruded fish feeds have many benefits. Fish feed pellets can float in water for more than 24 hours, which can not only increase the eating time of fish but also can reduce the eutrophication of water. And the gelatinization degree of can reach 90% or more, which can improve the digestibility of fish. Then ,the extruded fish feeds are easy to store and transport, which is very convenient for fish farmers and fish feed manufacturers. And in addition,floating fish feeds can not only improve feed efficiency, but importantly, because they can float in water, farmers can see what the fish are eating, which can avoid overfeeding and reduce feed waste.
  • The size of fish feed pellets can be adjust. The diameter of the fish feed pellets is 0.9-10mm. We can adjust the cutting device of the floating fish feed extruder to obtain different diameters and lengths of the fish feed pellets.
  • The feed extruder is of high capacity and low energy consumption.
  • High temperature and pressure during the process of making fish feeds pellets by the floating fish feed extruder can kill salmonellosis and reduce bacterial infections.
  • Fish feed pellets are more economical than compound powder feeds

How to choose a suitable floating fish feed extruder machine?

From the fish feed pellets

  • According to the size of the fish feed pellets. For example, 4-5mm feed pellets will be good choice for feeding adult grass carp.
  • According to the type of the pellets. Different kinds of fish have different feeding habits, and there are hard feed pellets, soft feed pellets and extruded feed pellets. You should choose the most suitable feed pellets according to the feeding habit of your fish.

From the machine itself

  • The fish feed extruder machine can be divided into dry type fish feed extruder and wet type fish feed extruder from the difference in structure.
  • The difference between these two is that the wet type is equipped with conditioners, with large capacity and better quality pellet.

In a word, it is very important to choose the right floating fish feed extruder machine and choose the suitable size and type of the fish feed pellets. It will not only can promote the fish health but also can avoid the feed waste and water pollution.

What are the parts of single floating fish feed extruder machine?

We have already known that floating fish extruder is a fish feed pellet machine that extrudes cereal, corn, fish meal, and other materials into 0.9-15mm fish feed pellets. And it has a lot of advantages. Then I will introduce you to the main parts of the floating feed extruder machine below. 

Feeder

The feeder is connected with the feeding barrel to prevent caking and ensure uniform and stable feeding. And it is variable frequency speed feeder, can adjust the feeding speed, to ensure that the fish feed pellet extruder can work at maximum power to accomplish the expected output. The feeder of RICHI fish feed extruder machine uses Siemens speed motor to control speed and change material feeding quantity.

Conditioner

The biggest difference between dry and wet extruders is whether or not there is a consitioner. The two modulation methods are different, wet extruder is usually equipped with a conditioner used to condition the moisture and temperature of raw materials, so that the starch paste, raw materials ripening and maturation.

Extruding chamber

The extruder chamber consists of a extrusion screw, a template, a heating clamp and so on.

Mould for extruder

The mould is the outlet of extrusion chamber, you can obtain fish feed pellets with different diameters and shapes through changing the mould.

Cutting knife

 The cutting device can cut the fish feed pellets into desired lengths.

The twin-screw floating fish feed extruder machine

The working process of the floating fish feed extruder machine can be divided into three stages.

  • Feeding stage

At this stage, the main process is transporting and compressing materials. The materials will mix with water to form dough-like objects during conveying and are compressed to fill the screw trough.

  • Compression stage

At this stage, when the materials pass through the floating fish feed extruder machine barrel during transportation, it is subjected to shearing action and mutual friction with the barrel and screw. The frictional heat generated by this process causes the temperature of the material to rise. And the slot of the screw shallows along the material pushing direction and compressing the material.

  • Extrusion stage

The raw materials are extruded into fish feed pellets at this stage. The temperature and pressure rise rapidly and the shear force increases, the extrusion pressure can reach 3.0-10Mpa, the temperature can reach up to 120-150 degrees Celsius. The fish feed pellets are extruded from the die holes and enter the atmosphere, then the temperature and pressure suddenly drop.

fish feed pellet production line working process

The fish feed extruder is always used in the floating fish feed production lines. Next I will share the working process and required equipment in the 1-1.2TPH line for your reference.The fish feed production line mainly consists of crushing and mixing section, extrusion and drying section, cooling and packing section.

01 Crushing and mixing section

First of all, feed the raw materials into the hammer mill to do the crushing section. The pulse dust collector will collect the dust at the feeding port . After crushing, the crushed materials enter the feed mixer through screw conveyor for mixing. Then they will be delivered to next section.

02 Extrusion and drying section

 After mixing, the materials are conveyed to the extruding section through bucket type elevator; the materials are fed into the conditioner through an anti-caking bin screw feeder, then enters the extruding chamber for extrusion. Then the fish feed pellets are extruded from the die holes of the mold.

The extruded materials enter to belt dryer machine for drying The dryed feed will be loaded by wind transport system to next section.

03 Cooling and packing section

After drying, the materials enter the spraying machine for spraying, then the materials enter the cooling section to cool to room temperature for packing; after the cooling is completed, then enter into the packing section to pack the materials by wind transport system.
