Aquatic feed application

Floating Fish Feed Production

Develop the required pellet dimensions and buoyancy target through coordinated formula, extrusion and drying—not through a mold-only promise.

Pellet brief

Define the fish, feed size and feeding behavior.

A useful inquiry connects the physical pellet to the species and feeding stage.

  • Fish species and whether feed is for farm use or commercial sale
  • Target pellet diameter, length and size range
  • Required floating behavior and test method
  • Raw materials, formula status and expected oil addition
  • Hourly output and intended working schedule

Buoyancy controls

Four inputs work together.

The die sizes the pellet, while expansion and density use the whole process.

01

Formula

Starch, protein, fat and other ingredients affect cooking and expansion.

02

Conditioning

Moisture and feeding consistency influence material behavior before and inside the extruder.

03

Extrusion

Temperature, pressure, screw configuration and operating parameters affect density.

04

Drying

Moisture removal and final cooling influence storage and physical performance.

Exact floating time cannot be promised before formula, pellet size and trial conditions are confirmed.

Floating-feed route

From fine preparation to stable packing.

Grinding scope depends on the incoming raw-material condition.

01Crush and prepare
02Mix and feed
03Extrude for target density
04Size and cut pellets
05Dry and optionally spray oil
06Cool and pack
Equipment fit

Use the fish feed configuration and model union.

The reference fish feed range is 120–5000 kg/h and retains seven models, including ZH139 from the Catalog.
