What Is the Floating Fish Food Pellet Processing Machine?
The high-efficiency pellet feed machine, also known as a pellet feed molding machine, belongs to the feed granulation equipment category. It is a feed processing machine that directly compresses particles by crushing materials such as corn, soybean meal, straw, grass, and rice husk. Because the raw materials are pressed into a dense pellet, the product keeps its structure during storage and transport, which makes it suitable for farms that want a simple, low-cost granulation solution.
Dry Granulation: No Water and No Drying
The granule machine forms pellets by squeezing the mixed powdered feed once. It does not need to add water during the granulation process and does not need to be dried. During pressing, natural heating raises the material temperature to about 70 degrees Celsius, which allows the starch to gelatinize. As a result, the granules are fully matured, the surface is smooth, and the pellets have high hardness, which supports long-term storage. This feed is suitable for raising rabbits, fish, chicken, pigs, sheep, and cattle, as well as for small and medium-sized feed processing plants that need a compact granulation line.

Application Range
This model can produce suspended aquatic feed pellets, sinking fish, shrimp, and crab feed pellets, pet feed pellets, and hanging fishing feed pellets. It is suitable for dogs, cats, fish, birds, rabbits, shrimp, donkeys, foxes, and similar animals. Because the machine covers such a wide product range, it gives operators the flexibility to follow seasonal demand, such as producing more fishing bait pellets in the angling season and pet feed in other periods.
Suitable Production Scales
The feed pellet machine is widely used in large, medium, and small aquaculture operations, grain and feed processing plants, livestock farms, poultry farms, individual breeding households, and small, medium-sized farms and feed processing plants. For very small operations, the no-drying design reduces the equipment list and the space needed; for larger plants, the same machine can serve as a satellite unit next to a high-capacity extrusion line. When choosing a model, match the capacity to the daily feed demand so the machine runs within its efficient range rather than oversized and underloaded.
FAQ
What is the price of the fish feed pellet production line?
According to the published specification, the price ranges from approximately US$1,500 to US$25,000, depending on the model and configuration.
Does the machine need water or a drying step?
No. The pellet is formed by squeezing the mixed powdered feed once, without adding water, and no drying is needed because the natural heat generated during pressing raises the material temperature to about 70 degrees Celsius, gelatinizing the starch.
What raw materials can be processed?
The machine processes crushed corn, soybean meal, straw, grass, rice husk, and similar materials into dense, hard pellets that store well over a long period.
What kinds of feed can be made?
It can make suspended aquatic feed pellets, sinking fish, shrimp, and crab feed pellets, pet feed pellets, and hanging fishing feed pellets for dogs, cats, fish, birds, rabbits, shrimp, donkeys, and foxes.
Who is this machine suitable for?
It suits large, medium, and small aquaculture operations, grain and feed processing plants, livestock and poultry farms, individual breeding households, and small or medium-sized feed processing plants.
What maintenance services are provided?
Comprehensive after-sales maintenance services are offered to customers, including inspection of the press rollers, dies, and drive system, and replacement of wear parts.
