200-800 Kg/h Small Floating Fish Feed Pellet Production Line

 

The 200-800 kg/h Dry-Type Extrusion Production Line is a complete turnkey solution designed for small and medium-sized feed processors, as well as start-up feed manufacturers. It is widely used for producing floating fish feed pellets, pet food, and other extruded feed products.

 

Based on advanced dry extrusion technology, the Fully Automatic Fish Feed Production Line eliminates the need for steam conditioning during the extrusion process, reducing initial investment costs and simplifying operation. The core extruder is equipped with a precision screw extrusion system that uses mechanical shear force and frictional heat generated inside the barrel to thermally process raw materials, denature proteins, and gelatinize starches.

 

During extrusion, the conditioned material is compressed and forced through the die under high pressure. The rapid pressure drop at the die outlet causes the material to expand, producing uniform pellets with stable structure, consistent size, and good water stability.

This production line is engineered for high flexibility, allowing for the production of diverse feed types by changing extrusion dies and adjusting processing parameters:

• Aquatic Feed: Produces floating, sinking, and slow-sinking feed for species such as tilapia, catfish, and shrimp. It supports a particle size range from 1mm to 9mm.
• Pet Food: Produces specialized kibble for dogs, cats, and foxes in various geometric shapes (e.g., heart, bone, round, triangle).

 

 

2.1. Target Audience & Target Animals

Target Audience:

• Start-up Investors: Individuals seeking feed processing projects with a balanced investment-to-return ratio.
• Commercial Farmers: Producers aiming to reduce Feed Conversion Ratios (FCR) and operational costs through in-house feed production.
• Pet Food Brands: Specialized processors requiring flexible, small-batch production for high-quality, niche pet food markets.

Target Animals:

• Aquatic Species: Tilapia, Grass Carp, Catfish, Koi, Goldfish, Shrimp, etc.
• Pets & Specialty Animals: All dog and cat breeds, cage birds, rabbits, and fur animals (mink/fox).

 

 

 

 

 

Q1: What is the technical difference between dry type floating fish food pellet extruder machine and wet Type floating fish feed pellet extruder machines?

A: The primary difference is the use of steam pre-conditioning. Dry extruders generate heat through mechanical friction within the screw system, requiring no boiler. This results in a smaller footprint and lower initial Capital Expenditure (CAPEX), making it optimal for the 200-800 kg/h capacity range. Wet extruders require external steam, offering higher output but at a higher investment and operating cost.

Q2: Can the same Floating Fish Feed Production Line produce both aquatic feed and pet food?

A: Yes. By changing the extrusion die and adjusting the screw speed and formulation (such as the starch-to-lipid ratio), the line can precisely control the product's expansion degree and buoyancy, serving multiple feed markets.

 

Q3: What is the buoyancy duration for fish feed produced by this fish food making production line?

A: Under optimized formulations, the floating fish feed can maintain buoyancy for 12 to 24 hours. The extrusion process creates a stable, microporous internal structure that prevents rapid disintegration, preserving water quality and allowing for better feeding observation.

Q4: What are the labor requirements for a 200-800 kg/h automated floating fish food pellet making production line?

A: This line is highly automated, typically requiring 2-3 operators: one for raw material feeding, one for monitoring the control system, and one for the packaging section.

 

Q5: Which components are considered "wear parts" and what is their lifespan?

A: The primary wear parts are the screw, extrusion sleeve, and cutter. Manufactured from high-chromium-molybdenum alloy, these components typically have a service life of 800-1,200 hours under standard operating conditions, provided that no metal contaminants enter the system.

 

Q6: How does the extrusion process affect nutrient absorption and safety?

A: The High-Temperature Short-Time (HTST) process eliminates pathogens like Salmonella while facilitating starch gelatinization (often exceeding 90%) and protein denaturation. This significantly increases the digestibility, nutrient absorption rate, and palatability of the feed for both pets and aquatic species.
