Results for “Floating Fish Feed Extruder”

A floating fish feed extruder machine for producing expanded aquatic feed. The machine cooks the formulation under heat and pressure and expands it at the die, giving a pellet light enough to float.

Floating feed is the standard for species such as tilapia and catfish that feed at the surface, and it allows feeding to be managed by observation rather than by weight alone. Pellet diameter is changed by die as the stock grows. Supplied as a single machine or at the centre of a complete line. Contact us for die options and line requirements.

A floating fish feed extruder plant supplied as a complete installation built around the extruder, covering raw material intake through to bagged finished feed.

Specifying it as a plant rather than buying machines separately means the capacity of each stage is set against the others from the start, which is where most feed line problems originate. We provide layout drawings sized to your building, an equipment list, and commissioning support. Capacity and automation level are agreed at the design stage. Contact us with your intended output and site details for a proposal.

A floating fish feed extruder line supplied as a complete installation: grinding, mixing, conditioning, extrusion, drying, oil coating, cooling and bagging, sized to work together.

Oil coating after drying is worth noting. Applying oil post-drying rather than including it all in the mix allows higher fat inclusion than the extruder could otherwise handle, which is how high energy feeds are made. The line includes a coater as standard. Contact us with your target tonnage and feed specification for a layout drawing and equipment list.

A floating fish feed extruder producing expanded pellets that remain at the water surface. Cooking and expansion take place in the extruder barrel, and the pellet sets as it leaves the die and the pressure drops.

The degree of expansion controls how long the pellet floats, and it is adjusted through moisture, temperature and screw configuration rather than being fixed by the machine. That adjustability is what allows one extruder to serve several species and feeding habits. Contact us to discuss the settings and die sizes suited to the feeds you intend to produce.
