FISH FEED MACHINE

Many people want to produce fish feed pellets, but there is more than one type of fish feed machine. Different breeding needs, feed formulas and aquatic animal species determine that we need different types of pelleting equipment to match. RICHI provides a variety of efficient and durable fish feed pellet machines, including extruders and pelletizers, which can meet the different production needs from home breeding to large-scale feed mills. Our equipment can handle a variety of raw materials, such as corn meal, soybean meal, fish meal, etc., and flexibly produce floating, slow-sinking and sinking feed pellets to adapt to the feeding habits of fish, shrimp and other aquatic animals. Whether it is special aquaculture or large-scale feed processing plants, RICHI can provide you with stable and efficient feed processing solutions to help you improve production and product quality.

The ring die granulation process produces cylindrical fish feed pellets and works well with various raw materials, including cottonseed, fish meal, bone meal, mustard cake, rice bran, wheat bran, and corn. It is mainly used for making sinking fish feed, shrimp feed, and crab feed pellets.

Using an extrusion and puffing process to produce expanded pellets in various shapes, suitable for making floating fish feed, sinking fish feed, and other types of aquatic feed pellets.

Be more flexible in feed production and allowing precise control of ingredients and improve the shape and taste of the final product. It can process materials with high fat, high meat content, or high moisture, meeting the feeding needs of different fish species and producing a variety of feed pellets.

Single-screw extruders are low-cost and easy to operate, so they are widely used when low shear and moderate expansion feed are needed.

Our series of dry type floating fish feed extruders provides an efficient processing solution for aquaculture farms to produce extruded fish feed, without the need for high production costs. Additionally, it can produce floating or sinking feed pellets that meet the feeding habits of different fish species, making it therefore an economical, efficient, and easy-to-operate feed processing method.

Wet type fish feed extruder is a machine that adds steam or water during the extrusion process to produce aquafeed. It is widely used in the production of high-quality aquatic feeds and pet food, and can meet the needs of customers of different scales. Thanks to its efficient processing technology, the feed produced retains more nutrients, making it an ideal choice for large-scale aquafeed production.

Floating fish feed extruder machine is mainly composed of a feeding system, raw material adjustment system, and pellet extrusion system. People can widely use it in the production of high-end aquatic feed pellets, which meet the growth needs of various surface-dwelling fish (such as grass carp), omnivorous fish (such as tilapia and mullet), and some ornamental fish (such as goldfish and koi).

RICHI’s innovative sinking fish feed machine is ideal for producing pellets that meet the needs of bottom-dwelling species like fish, shrimp, and crabs, and suits global sinking feed plants. Currently, sinking fish feed is mainly produced using two types of equipment: fish feed pellet mills with multi-stage conditioners and fish feed extruders that use an extrusion process.

Fish feed pellets of different properties are designed to meet the needs of different fish and their feeding habits, which can effectively improve feeding efficiency and ensure the healthy growth of fish. For example, floating fish feed pellets are suitable for fish that feed on the water surface, which is convenient for observation and control of feeding amount; sinking pellets sink to the bottom of the water quickly and are designed for bottom-dwelling fish; and slow-sinking pellets are suitable for fish active in the middle water layer, and the moderate sinking speed ensures that fish in different water layers can get nutrition. Behind these diverse pellets, advanced fish feed processing equipment is indispensable. Through professional fish feed machines, the density, shape, settling speed and nutritional ratio of the pellets can be accurately controlled, so as to produce feed products that meet the needs of various fish.

Many people have common questions when they start making fish feed: How do I use a fish feed machine to make fish feed? What is the full process of making fish feed? What steps are involved in fish feed production?

The general fish feed production process includes: receiving and cleaning raw materials – crushing and mixing – pelletizing or extruding- drying – spraying (such as oil or nutrients) – cooling and packaging. This is the most common way fish feed is made. However, different fish feed plants may change the fish feed production process based on their needs. For example, some make feed for specific types of fish, while others focus on higher output. These needs can affect how the fish feed production process is set up.

fish feed production section DESCRIPTION

Receiving and Cleaning Raw Materials

+

Receive and prepare raw materials such as grains, soybean meal, fish meal, and oils. Remove impurities to make sure the materials are clean and of good quality.

Crushing and Mixing

+

Break large pieces into small powder. Then mix all the materials in the right amounts using a mixer. This makes sure the nutrition is evenly spread in every feed pellet.

Pelletizing or Extruding

+

Turn the mixed material into feed pellets. Depending on the product type, use either a “pellet mill” for regular pellets or an “extruder machine” for floating or sinking aquatic feed.

Drying

+

Newly made pellets often have high moisture. Use a dryer to reduce water content to a safe level. This helps prevent mold and keeps the feed fresh for longer.

Spraying

+

After drying, spray oil, vitamins, amino acids, or other nutrients onto the surface of the pellets. This step is also known as “post-spraying” and helps improve taste and nutrition.

Cooling  & Packaging

+

The pellets remain hot after drying and need to be cooled to near room temperature with a cooler. Only then are they screened to remove fines, followed by automatic weighing and packaging as per customer requirements.
