What Is The Difference Between A Pellet Machine And An Extruder?
Leave a message
Working principle
Pellet machine: Feed raw materials are made into pellets by pressing. It has a simple structure, convenient operation and high production efficiency.
Extruder: The material is instantly cooked and expanded by extrusion, heating and shearing. The structure of the extruder is complex and can achieve continuous production.
Production efficiency
Pellet machine: It has high production efficiency and is suitable for large-scale production.
| Model | Capacity | Power | Dimension | Weight |
| 125 | 80-100kg/h | 3kw | 110*35*70 cm | 95 kg |
| 150 | 120-150kg/h | 4kw | 115*35*80cm | 100 kg |
| 210 | 200-300kg/h | 7.5kw | 115*45*95cm | 300 kg |
| 260 | 500-600kg/h | 15kw | 138*46*100cm | 350 kg |
| 300 | 700-800kg/h | 22kw | 130*53*105cm | 600 kg |
| 360 | 900-1000kg/h | 22kw | 160*67*150cm | 800 kg |
| 400 | 1200-1500kg/h | 30kw | 160*68*145cm | 1200 kg |
Extruder: Although the production efficiency is also high, its complex structure makes the production process more delicate and time-consuming.
Feed form and use
Pellet machine: The feed produced is in the form of pellets, which is suitable for poultry and livestock farming on land, such as flat die feed pellet machine and ring die feed pellet machine.
Extruder: The feed produced is in the form of fluffy and porous pellets, which is suitable for fisheries and floating materials, such as fish and shrimp feed.
Price and maintenance cost
Pellet machine: The price range is wide.
Puffing machine: The price is higher, but the maintenance cost is relatively low, the failure rate is low, and the operation and maintenance are easy.
