working principle of floating fish feed machine

During the extrusion operation, the material is input from one end of the cavity opening and conveyed to the entire cavity by the screw, Then the supplementary extrusion part is divided into several regions, A ring (pressure ring) is placed between each zone as a flow and pressure control, The conveying action of the screw pushes the material to flow through the annular gap between the pressure ring and the inside of the floating fish feed pelletizer machine cavity, The mechanical energy generated by the rotating motion of the screw is converted into heat energy due to the friction between the material and the various parts of the floating fish feed pellet machine and the internal friction of the material

As the material is extruded through the die hole at the end of the cavity, The dough-like material is processed into a certain shape, Due to the huge propulsion effect of the screw in the floating fish feed manufacturing machine cavity, a huge pressure is formed in the material, When these materials are extruded from the die hole, a large amount of water in the materials is vaporized in an instant, This greatly reduces the moisture content of the material

When producing low-density products, it would have a large expansion depends on the molecular structure of the material, and all condition and material used during the pelleting process

When producing high-density products, it would not expansion large depends on the purging pressure port on the cavity and all condition and material used during the pelleting process.
