DGP Series Dry Fish Feed Machine: Cost-Effective & Boiler-Free Production

As a professional floating fish feed pellet mill manufacturer, we supply dry type fish feed machine for small and medium fish farms and commercial aquaculture feed plants worldwide. It is an extrusion machine designed to produce floating aquafeed pellets for species such as tilapia, catfish, carp, trout, shrimp and ornamental fish.

Compared with wet type fish feed extruders requiring steam boilers, the DGP dry fish feed machine produces floating pellets without external steam equipment, reducing investment and simplifying operation. The extrusion temperature can reach 130-150℃, helping gelatinize starch and improve feed digestibility.

By adjusting moisture content, formulation and die size, the machine can produce floating fish feed pellets from 0.9mm to 15mm for different fish species and growth stages through interchangeable die molds. The production capacity ranges from 30 kg/h to 3 tons/h, which is suitable for small fish farms, commercial aquaculture operations and small-to-medium feed manufacturers.

Benefits and Advantages of Floating Fish Feed Pellet Mill

1. Improve Water Stability (12-24 Hours)

The floating pellets can stay on water surface for 12-24 hours, allowing farmers to monitor feeding activity, reduce feed waste about 60%-70% and improve water management. Floating time can be adjusted by extrusion parameters and formulation.

2. Improve Feed Utilization

Better feed digestibility helps improve feed conversion and supports healthier fish growth.

3. Versatile Output (0.9mm to 15mm)

With interchangeable die molds, the machine can produce final pellet sizes from 0.9mm micro-feed for fry to 15mm pellets for adult fish and pets.

4. Durable Wear Parts & Stainless Steel Construction:

The screw sleeve adopts an inlaid wear-resistant alloy steel strip structure, which reduces wear and extends service life during continuous operation. The stainless steel type improves corrosion resistance and makes cleaning easier, especially good for commercial aquaculture feed production.

How Does a Floating Fish Feed Pellet Mill Work?

The floating fish feed pellet mill is an important machine in a fish feed production line. Before extrusion, you need to crush raw materials such as corn, wheat and soybean, mix and adjust to suitable moisture content.

During extrusion, the single screw system applies high pressure and high heat to gelatinize starch and form expanded floating pellets. When the material passes through the die, high pressure release creates a porous structure that improves pellet buoyancy.

Finally, the adjustable cutter cuts the extruded material into uniform floating fish feed pellets. By changing die molds and processing parameters, the machine can produce different pellet sizes from 0.9mm to 15mm for various fish species and growth stages.

Raw Material for Floating Fish Feed Pellet Mill

The dry type fish feed pellet mill can process various raw materials and animal protein ingredients, including: Corn, wheat, soybean meal, fish meal, rice bran and other aquatic feed ingredients. Formulation can be adjusted according to fish species, protein requirements and production goals.
