What does a small fish feed pellet extruder machine do?
Leave a message
Its core function is to improve feed digestibility and absorption. Fish have relatively simple digestive systems and weak digestive capacity. The high temperature and pressure of the small fish feed machine increases the starch gelatinization rate of raw materials from 60% in ordinary processing to over 90%, and more fully denatures proteins, forming a structure easily broken down by fish digestive enzymes. Experimental data shows that grass carp using extruded feed have a 15%-20% higher protein digestibility than those fed ordinary pellet feed, and less undigested nutrients in feces, reducing both feed waste and water pollution.
It also enhances feed water resistance, ensuring no nutrient loss. Fish primarily feed in water. Ordinary pellet feed disintegrates within minutes of being placed in water, with nutrients being lost. However, feed pellets produced by the floating fish feed pellet machine have a dense, porous internal structure, extending their water resistance to over 30 minutes, even 1-2 hours, ensuring fish have ample time to feed. Taking koi feed as an example, extruded feed retains its shape after soaking in water for 30 minutes, with a nutrient retention rate of over 90%, while ordinary pelleted feed retains less than 60% of its nutrients.
It also has a sterilization function, reducing the risk of fish diseases. The temperature inside the floating fish food extruder can reach 110-130℃, and the pressure can reach 3-8MPa. This extreme environment effectively kills harmful microorganisms such as E. coli and Salmonella, as well as parasite eggs, in the raw materials, with a sterilization rate of over 99%. After using extruded feed, a tilapia farm reduced the incidence of intestinal diseases in its fish from 12% to 3%, significantly reducing disease prevention and control costs.
