fish feed machine
At RICHI, you can not only find the core equipment used in the fish feed processing and production, such as fish feed extruder machine, fish feed pelletizer, but also a full set of fish feed making machine, complete fish feed production lines and turnkey fish feed pellet mill.
As the aquaculture industry continues to develop rapidly towards scale, intensification and standardization, higher requirements are placed on the processing technology and production equipment of aquaculture feed. Not only does it require the feed to be nutritionally balanced, palatable, and easy to digest and absorb, but it also requires the production process to be efficient and stable, energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and highly automated, in order to improve feed quality, reduce production costs, and meet the needs of modern aquaculture for refined feed management and green and sustainable development.
In response to the diverse production needs of different customers, we provide two series of professional fish feed machine: one is the fish feed extruder machine using advanced extrusion technology, which can produce highly buoyant and easily digestible extruded feed; the other is the high-performance ring die fish feed pelletizer, which is suitable for the production of sinking pellet feed of various specifications.
Both types of fish feed machine adopt intelligent control systems, and have the characteristics of low energy consumption, high output, and good forming rate. They can effectively meet the strict requirements of modern aquaculture in terms of feed nutrition maintenance and water pollution control.

Working Principle of Fish Feed extruder machine
RICHI can customize fish feed extruder machine and complete fish feed production process for you according to your production needs.
Fish feed extruder machine is mainly composed of feeding system, modulation system, extrusion system and cutting system.
The working principle of fish feed extruder machine is based on screw extrusion and puffing technology. The core is to process the feed raw materials into extruded fish feed pellet with a specific shape, stable structure and complete nutritional retention through the synergistic effect of high temperature, high pressure and shear force.
The evenly mixed raw materials are fed into the modulator through a variable frequency screw feeder, where high-temperature steam is sprayed onto the raw materials to partially gelatinize the starch and denature the protein, thereby increasing the maturity of the feed and improving its palatability and digestibility. The processed raw materials are forced forward by the rotation of the screw. Under the high temperature and high pressure environment in the screw gun, the raw materials are fully matured and plasticized, and undergo certain denaturation and gelatinization reactions. The matured materials are extruded through the die holes and cut into fish feeds of uniform length by the cutting system.

working principle of Fish feed pelletizer
RICHI can customize fish feed pellet machine and complete fish feed production process for you according to your production needs.
RICHI provides ring die pellet mill to produce fish feed pellet. RICHI fish feed pellet machine consists of feeding system, modulation system, pelleting system, cutting system, transmission system, lubrication and cooling system, safety protection system and electrical control system, mainly used in large aquaculture farms and small, medium and large feed mills.
When the fish feed pelletizer is working, the mixed raw materials enter the pellet machine through the feeding system, and are first mixed with high-temperature steam in the modulator to gelatinize the starch in the raw materials and denature the protein, thereby improving the adhesion and digestibility, and softening the raw materials for easy pressing and molding. After the modulation is completed, it enters the pelletizing chamber, where the raw materials are squeezed into the annular die hole of the ring die by the rotating roller, and forced through the die hole under high pressure to form tight cylindrical pellets that are extruded. The extruded strip feed pellet is cut into the required length by the external rotating blade.

The production process can be customized according to different feed formulas
Receiving and handling of raw materials
Receive raw materials and start fish feed production according to the fish feed production formula. The purchased raw materials usually contain some grain by-products and impurities, such as small stones, straw, etc., and impurity removal equipment is needed to remove these impurities in the raw materials to ensure that the raw materials can be put into production, and the fish feed making machine will not be damaged in the subsequent production process and the quality of the fish feed pellets can be guaranteed.
First crushing
The first crushing is also called coarse crushing, which is mainly used to reduce the particle size of raw materials and increase the specific surface area of raw materials, which can enhance animal digestion ability and improve feed utilization. The first crushing can also improve the processing quality and work efficiency of subsequent process steps such as batching, mixing, and granulation.
Batching and first mixing
Batching refers to improving the processing quality and work efficiency of subsequent process steps such as batching, mixing, and granulation. The first mixing is to combine ingredients with unique properties into a formula feed under the action of processing equipment to meet the various nutritional needs of aquatic organisms and increase the value of the mixed product.
Second crushing
In order to meet the requirements of the production process of extruded aquatic feed in feed factories, the raw materials need to be finely ground or ultra-finely ground to meet the requirements of processing finer pellets, improve the durability of pellets, and improve the extrusion or pelletizing capacity.
Second mixing
The second mixing is a key link in the fish feed pellet production process. The crushed raw materials and the raw materials that need to be added to the fish feed production formula are sent to the mixer and evenly mixed under the action of external force to meet the requirements of the production formula feed raw materials and meet the nutritional value of aquatic organisms.
Extrusion or granulationion
Extrusion and pelleting are the core links in the fish feed pellet production process. The extrusion process mainly uses fish feed extruder machine, and the pelleting process mainly uses fish feed pellet machine. The mixed raw materials can be formed into aquatic feed, poultry feed, pet food, etc. of different shapes and lengths through extrusion or pelleting.
drying
The main purpose of drying is to reduce the moisture content in the feed, thereby improving the stability and shelf life of aquatic products, reducing product weight and improving transportation conditions. Most extruded aquatic feeds have a moisture content of more than 25%, so drying is necessary to remove some of the moisture in the feed pellets.
Spraying
Spraying is the application of liquids or powders (such as oils/fats, pigments, flavors, functional improvers or vitamins) to the surface of feed particles after drying and screening but before cooling to improve the taste and acceptability of the feed pellets.
Packing
The packaging of fish feed pellets starts from the finished feed entering the feed box above the packing machine to the end of the bagged feed being placed in the warehouse. The process includes weighing each bag of feed, placing the weighed object in the bag, sealing the bag, labeling, coding, palletizing, and transporting to the warehouse for storage.
Other equipment used in the fish feed production process
The complete fish feed pellet production process includes the processing of raw materials, the processing of fish feed and the packing of fish feed pellets. In this production process, in addition to fish feed extruder machine or fish feed pellet machine, crushers, mixers, drying equipment, sprayers, coolers, screening equipment, packing equipment, conveying equipment, cleaning equipment, silos, silos, air compressors, dust removal equipment, etc.
RICHI can flexibly configure and adjust the floating fish feed making machine combination for customers according to different production scales, product types, original formulas, plant structures and special process needs, so as to achieve the most ideal operating effect and strive for the highest economic benefits for customers.
