application of fish feed line
— MIKIM Machinery —
In order to support provide a balanced and stable feeding for the farmed fish, many producers have shifted to manufactured pellets. Based on the behaviour in the water, fish feed can be divided into floating feed, slow-sinking feed, and sinking feed. RICHI offers you extrusion and pellet mill to produce high quality fish feed. We also designs and manufactures machinery for specialized aqua feed such as eel feed, crab feed, abalone feed, and frogs. With a high reputation in aqua feed production solutions, guaranteed to help you with your production.
Fish Feed Production Process
Our aqua shrimp fish feed production technologies appeal to both commercial fish feed millers producing for onward sale, as well as to farmers making feed for their aqua animals. Our extrusion and pelleting technologies enable our customers to create their own unique recipes and combinations of ingredients – making sure that the animals are given the right amount of vitamins and protein.
The most important goal is the creation of a complete diet with the highest feed conversion rate, providing a healthy and easily digestible diet for fish. At the same time, the feed must maintain its shape and texture in water and be durable for transport and storage reasons. We can help you with the entire fish feed production line process. From receiving and cleaning, batching, mixing and grinding to control sifting, extruding, shaping, drying and coating/cooling, our experts can tailor an aqua feed solution to meet your specific needs.The processing steps of animal feed production line:
1
Raw material receiving system
Receiving is the beginning of feed production. In the fish feed production line, the receiving area covers the active process of various purchased materials used directly or indirectly. Receiving equipment is used for bulk storage of materials before silos or warehouses.
2
Steel silo system
To ensure continuous production, large quantities of raw materials such as corn, wheat and soybean meal need to be stored during feed processing. It has become the preferred silo type for bulk grain storage in feed factories.
3
Cleaning system
Bulk grain received from farms often includes grain by-products and impurities. The cleaning operation is to remove these impurities with equipment and systems.
4
Crushing system
Crushing is the operation of reducing raw materials particle size and increasing its specific surface area, which and improve the processing quality and work efficiency of subsequent process steps such as batching, mixing, and pelleting.
5
Primary ingredients
The first batching and mixing process in aqua fish feed production line refers to the combination of bulk dry raw materials, liquid raw materials into value-added, homogeneous proportioned mixtures.
6
First mixing system
Mixing is a key link in the production of compound feed. Components with unique properties are blended together to formulate rations under the action of external forces to meet the nutritional needs of animals and add value to the blended product.
7
Superfine Pulverization
In order to meet the fish feed production line process requirements, it is necessary to finely or ultra-finely pulverize raw materials to meet the requirements of processing finer particles.
8
Secondary Ingredients
Secondary ingredient and mixing processes in aquafeed production refer to the scaling, addition and mixing of dry and/or liquid trace elements and premixes to form complete feed mixtures, i.e. formulated rations.
9
Secondary Mixing
Mixing is a key link in the production of compound feed. Components with unique properties are blended together to formulate rations under the action of external forces to meet the nutritional needs of animals and add value to the blended product.
10
Extrusion/Pelleting
In this section, you can choose a twin-screw fish feed extruder, a single-screw fish feed extruder, or a fish feed pelletizer equipped with a multi-layer conditioner. According to the process characteristics, the extrusion process can also be divided into a dry process and a wet process. Choose the appropriate fish feed process based on the production scale, product type and budget.
11
Drying system
Drying is to reduce the moisture content in the product, thereby improving the stability and shelf life of fish feed products.
12
Crumbing system
Crumbing is the process of breaking feed pellets into smaller pellets using crumbler machines. Crumbled feed is used in different stages of early fish or shrimp development. This process is only used in a few fish pellet feed projects or aquatic livestock and poultry feed compound production lines.
13
Liquid addition and spraying
Spraying is an industrial process. Apply liquid or powder such as oil/fat, pigment, spice, functional improver or vitamin to the surface of the feed pellet after drying and screening, before the feed pellet cools, to improve the taste and acceptability.
14
Cooling System
When leaving the fish feed extruder or fish feed pelletizer, the fish pellets are very hot, soft and rich in moisture, the cooling process cools them down to 3℃-5℃ slightly above room temperature and reduces their moisture content to a safe standard (≤12.5%), for easy transportation and storage.
15
screening system
After cooling, qualified fish feed pellets are screened out using a grading screen, and the screened powder and large-sized particles will be re-extrude or pelletize.
16
Packaging System
The packing procedure includes weighing each bag of feed, placing the weighed item in the bag, closing the mouth of the bag, applying a label to the bag, coding the bag, palletizing the bag, and moving the bag to a warehouse for storage. Finished products can also be loaded by trucks or in container bags.
The above is the standard process flow of fish feed processing. Depending on customer needs, investment costs, plant structure, and product types, the final process design is different. For example, in the processing of eel feed, eel feeds float and can be made in extrudate or powder form. If you want to process powdered eel feed, you only need to clean the raw materials – mix the ingredients – crush twice – mix twice, and you can get mash eel feed.
