Application of Fish pellet making machine
The floating pellet machine, also known as fish feed pellet mill, is mainly applied to produce floating and sinking aquatic feeds. It can handle diverse raw materials including fishmeal, soybean meal, corn and wheat bran. Suitable for aquaculture species like tilapia, carp and shrimp, it is widely adopted in aquaculture farms, feed factories and research institutes. It yields feed pellets with good palatability, high nutrient utilization and low feed waste, effectively boosting aquaculture production efficiency.

Fish pellet making machine process
The twin-screw fish feed production line equipped with a floating pellet machine is a fully automated aquatic feed processing system. Raw materials including fish meal, soybean meal, corn flour, fish oil, vitamins and minerals undergo crushing, precise batching and thorough mixing. After steam conditioning to improve starch gelatinization, the materials enter the twin-screw extruder for high-temperature, high-pressure curing, sterilization and extrusion. The extruded pellets are cut to uniform sizes, dehydrated via a multi-layer belt dryer, and evenly coated with fish oil and essential nutrients. Finally, the pellets are cooled to room temperature and automatically packaged, realizing a continuous, stable and high-efficiency full fish feed production workflow.

Machine details

crusher
As key auxiliary machinery matching the floating pellet machine, the hammer mill delivers high‑performance grinding for feed‑manufacturing scenarios. It can pulverize diverse feed‑grade raw materials ranging from grain powders, fish meal, meat meal to soybean meal. Operators can change sieve specifications to obtain target particle fineness, which boosts material consistency, optimizes blending quality and raises the digestibility of final feed products. Boasting reliable running status, large throughput and low power consumption, this grinding unit well satisfies mass‑production requirements for fish and aquatic feed supported by the floating pellet machine.
Exrtruder
Serving as the central forming unit of the floating pellet machine, the steam‑heated twin‑screw extruder manufactures premium‑grade fish and aquatic feed. Under accurately regulated temperature and pressure, it continuously accomplishes raw material cooking, expansion, sterilization and pellet forming in one step. It greatly elevates feed gelatinization level, water resistance, digestibility and taste, cuts nutrient waste while feeding, and helps aquatic creatures achieve better growth performance. Thanks to its dependable running condition and strong material compatibility, this unit is extensively deployed within large‑scale, high‑standard aquatic feed production workflows.


Steam dryer
As vital supporting equipment for the floating pellet machine, steam ovens handle secondary cooking, post‑ripening and drying treatment for extruded fish feed. They further raise the cooking level and gelatinization extent of feed pellets, noticeably boosting pellet hardness, water stability and surface quality. Nutrients are well‑retained to minimize losses, while the floating and sinking characteristics of finished feed are guaranteed. These units occupy a critical position for manufacturing high‑grade, highly‑stable aquatic feed outputs.
Flavoring drum
This auxiliary mixing device for the floating pellet machine features a multi‑faceted inner structure to achieve far more homogeneous blending. Sealed front and rear material inlets stop oil splashes during operation. Its custom‑built transmission structure avoids roller slippage for steady running.

Products Description
