floating fish feed production line – EXTRUSSION Process: Detailed Overview of Two Machines
For investors with limited budgets, a single screw extruder is sufficient to produce affordable fish feed pellets.
However, for producing high-end, high-performance, or specially formulated fish feed, a twin screw extruder is highly recommended. Its advanced technology enables more complex process flows.

How to choose a suitable floating fish feed production line?
When choosing a floating fish feed production line, you should consider several key factors to ensure the equipment configuration matches your production goals:
2. Determine the type of floating feed you want to produce
Regular fish feed can use dry extrusion machines, while high-quality fish feed is better suited for wet extrusion machines.
If you also want to make high-end formulas or multiple varieties (such as shrimp feed, specialty feed), twin-screw extruders will have an advantage.
The higher your product positioning, the higher the requirements for extrusion processes.
3. Choose the equipment grade based on budget
The higher the budget, the more complete the available process configuration.
With limited funds, basic processes like crushing—mixing—extrusion—drying can meet regular floating feed production needs.
For higher quality demands, you can upgrade to multi-layer dryers, automatic batching systems, or more advanced extruder models to achieve more stable pellet quality.
4. Consider Product Quality and Market Competitiveness
Your target market determines the equipment level. In price-sensitive regions, basic floating feed suffices.
However, if aiming for premium brands, entering competitive markets, or exporting, more mature extrusion technology is needed to obtain higher cooking levels, stable puffing effects, and uniform pellet appearance.
5. Assess whether multi-category production or future expansion is needed
If adding shrimp feed, high-protein feed, pet food, or expanding capacity in the future, select expandable equipment like wet or twin-screw extruders, reserving space for drying and crushing links.
For single-product, long-term stable operations, a basic production line meets needs.
FAQ about floating fish feed production LINE
If you have any questions about floating fish feed making machine or floating fish feed production line, you can first take a look at these answers.
1. Why use extrusion technology to produce extruded feed
Firstly, the floating fish feed after extrusion can float on the water surface and can meet the feeding habits of fish growing in the middle and upper layers. On the other hand, it is convenient to observe the amount of food eaten by fish. If there is residual aquatic feed on the water surface, it means that the feed fed last time has not been eaten up.
Secondly, compared with pelleted feed, extruded aquatic feed has a higher degree of maturity and is more conducive to fish absorption.
?
2. Why is the degree of maturity higher when using an fish feed extruder machine than feed pelletizer
The feed pelletizer forms pellets by squeezing between a roller and a ring die. The highest temperature of the feed pellets after extrusion is only 90 degrees. However, the material in the extrusion chamber can reach 140 degrees during extrusion. For a twin-screw fish feed extruder machine, the temperature can reach 200 degrees at high temperatures.
In addition, the screw continuously shears the materials during rotation, and there will also be frictional shear force, which will also help the maturation of the materials to a certain extent.
?
3. How can we produce high-quality extruded feed
In order to obtain better quality extruded floating feed, every link of feed production is very important, among which there are several important points to note:
First, the raw materials should be finely ground. The finer the raw materials are ground, the easier it is to mix the raw materials with steam in the modulator and to extrude the raw materials in the extrusion chamber, making it easier to obtain extruded feed with a smooth surface and uniform color.
Secondly, a reasonable formula is the key factor in producing high-quality extruded feed, especially the starch content in the raw materials, because the starch content is the key factor that determines the buoyancy and sinking properties of the extruded feed.
In addition, whether to choose spraying equipment and the choice of sprayer. Spraying can significantly increase the oil content of extruded feed pellet, and the effects brought by different spraying equipment are different. For example, the spraying effects brought by roller sprayers and vacuum sprayers are completely different.
The quality of extruded feed is closely related to every production link and the equipment selected. If you want to get high-quality extruded feed, you can contact us immediately to get more detailed information.
?
4. Can the floating fish feed production line only be used to produce a single floating fish feed pellet
No. From the above cases and customized solution design, we can see that our feed production line is not only used to produce floating fish feed. Because our entire feed production line is modular in design, each work section can be increased or decreased. Therefore, if there is a demand for the production of shrimp feed, poultry feed, livestock feed, etc., we will take all the customer’s production needs into consideration when designing the feed production plan, and then customize a compound feed production line that can produce a variety of feed types.
For example, 1 ton per hour fish and shrimp feed production line, 2-3 tons per hour floating and sinking fish feed production line, 5 tons per hour floating and poultry feed production line……
