Proven Aquafeed Solutions of Fish Feed Production Line

Our floating fish feed pellet production line is the complete procedure of fish feed production including advanced crushing, mixing, extruding, and drying equipment. Complete fish feed production line with different capacities are also available to meet customers’ specific demands. This floating fish feed production plant is newly developed to meet the demand of intensive production of fish feed pellets.

It is designed for making commercial pellets from corn, maize, grains, protein, molasses and so on. The products can have different shapes, unique flavor, rich nutrients and fine texture to meet the different eating habit of fishes. The floating fish feed mill plant is widely used as aquatic and pet feed like goldfish, tropical fish, catfish, shrimp, tilapia, dog, cat and etc.

Our fish feed production machinery can produce various kinds of pellets for different varieties of fishes including halibut pellets, catfish pellets, carp pellet, trout pellets, hemp pellets, CSL pellets,etc. Our fish feed production line is the best choice for medium and big sized feed mills and breeding farms.

Investment & ROI Analysis of Floating Fish Feed Plant

Investing a floating fish feed production line is an investment in Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR). Although wet type floating fish processing line has higher cost, but it can produce deeper puffed fish feed, which can reduce feed waste by 60% – 70%. A 3t/h or 5t/h fish floating feed processing plant can usually lead to a full ROI (Return on Investment) within 8-12 months through saving energy and protein protection (reducing amino acid loss).

How to Choose the Right Fish Feed Production Plant for Your Investment?

• 0.5 – 1.0 t/h (Starter Level): For this production capcity, we recommend the dry type fish feed manufacturing plant because it has low initial investment and no boiler cost. It is grealy optimal for small and medium fish farms and fish feed factories.
• 1 – 3 t/h (Commercial Growth): Dry tpye system or small scale wet type fish feed plant is best for your. Because it can ensure the finished pellets quality but also low production investment cost.
• 3 – 5 t/h+ (Industrial Leader): For this production capacity, the complete wet type floating fish feed production line is only best choice. It can ensure over 90% starch gelatinization for premium commercial floating fishf feed.

steps of making floating fish feed pellet

1.crushing raw material —- feed crusher machine

Raw material ingredients should be ground to the required size by feed grinder. Hammer mill, also called wide chamber fine feed hammer Mill, is mainly applied to fine grinding of meals for special aqua feed.

2. mixing — feed mixer machine

Mixing the material thoroughly can ensure extruding efficiency and improve the feed quality. The feed mixer can be customized with atomizing spraying system which will add liquid like molasses and grease to material more evenly.

3. extruding — floating pellet making machine

Our fish feed extruder machine can be divided into two types: dry type and wet type. The wet type is with the conditioner and need to equip the steam boiler. The dry type floating fish feed production line is cheaper while the capacity of the wet type processing plant is higher, so usually the wet type equipment is suitable for large feed pellet factory and the dry type is better and economic for the small and medium size user or factory.

4. drying final pellets — feed pellet dryer 

Our mesh belt dryer is a continuous convective belt dryer. Pellets formed through the extruder are stacked in layers on a wire mesh or perforated plate belt conveyor and conveyed continuously through drying chambers. During this process, the drying air is passed repeatedly through the products layer until pellets have the optimum moisture content before leaving the dryer. While if you choose wet type fish feed machine, we recommend the gas type pellet dryer.

5. cooling final pellets — feed pellet cooler

The finished pellets are still hot at high temperature and soft when they come out from the dryer and the oil-spraying equipment, so they are easy to be broken at this time. The cooler system can reduce rapidly their temperature to harden them, and prevent them from caking and crumbling. To avoid loss in this regard, the feed pellets must be cooled, and are consequently hardened. The cooling type adopted by most fish pellet plants is the counter flow cooler where the fish feed pellets are in opposite direction to the air cooling them.

6. packing final pellets — automatic packing machine

To make the finished pellets easy to store, transport, they should be packed properly. With our electronic weighing and packing machine, the finished pellets can be packed into bags, weighed, conveyed, and sealed automatically, which saves labor and time greatly and meet the requirements of large scale production. For this packing machine, automatic thermal date coder, automatic bag sewing and automatic thread cutting can be optional functions.
