fish feed machine‌

fish feed machine‌ Introduction

The ‌fish feed machine‌ is an automated equipment specially used for fish breeding. It is mainly used to automatically feed fish feed to improve feed utilization and breeding efficiency. The main components of the fish feed machine include feeding barrel, feeding device, driving motor and control box. Its working principle is to control the drive motor through the control box to drive the feeding device to put the feed into the feeding bucket, and then the screw pusher in the feeding bucket pushes the feed along the barrel wall to realize automatic feeding.

Main functions of fish feed machine

Mixing Ingredients

The machine mixes various ingredients (such as fish meal, soybean meal, cornmeal, vitamins, etc.) to ensure a uniform distribution of nutrients in the feed.

Grinding

It grinds larger ingredient particles to an appropriate fineness, making it easier for fish to digest and increasing feed efficiency.

Extruding and Expanding

By using high temperature and pressure, the machine expands the feed to improve its buoyancy and stability in water. Floating feed allows farmers to monitor the fish’s feeding activity.

Drying

The machine removes excess moisture from the feed, extending its shelf life and preventing mold growth.

Cooling

After drying, it cools the feed to prevent spoilage during storage due to high temperatures.

Grading and Screening

The machine sorts particles by size to ensure uniform feed pellet sizes, meeting the dietary needs of different types of fish.

Packaging

It packs the finished feed into bags for convenient storage and transportation.

Structural composition of fish feed machine

Feeding System

It delivers raw materials into the machine evenly and steadily to ensure continuous production.

Mixer

This component mixes various raw materials uniformly, ensuring a consistent distribution of nutrients and high feed quality.

Grinder

It crushes raw materials into fine particles, facilitating the extrusion process and improving feed digestibility.

Extruder

As the core component of the fish feed machine, it processes raw materials at high temperature and pressure, expanding the feed for buoyancy and stability in aquatic environments.

Drying Equipment

This removes moisture from the feed to keep it dry, which extends its shelf life.

Cooler

It cools the feed after drying, preventing quality degradation due to high storage temperatures.

Grading Sieve

This part screens the feed pellets, removing oversized or undersized particles to ensure uniform pellet size.

Packaging Machine

It packs the finished feed into bags for easy storage and transportation.

Control System

This system adjusts and monitors the operation parameters of each component, allowing for automated and precise production control.

Main advantages of fish feed machine

Improves Feed Utilization

By evenly mixing, grinding, and extruding raw materials, the machine produces feed pellets that are more palatable and easily digestible for fish, reducing feed waste.

Enhances Buoyancy and Stability in Water

The extruded feed has excellent buoyancy and water stability, matching fish feeding habits. It also allows farmers to observe and control fish feeding, helping to prevent water pollution.

Automates Production

Equipped with an automatic control system, the fish feed machine automates the entire process from raw material to finished product, lowering labor costs and increasing production efficiency.

Supports a Wide Range of Feed Types

The machine can handle various formulations, producing feeds that meet the dietary needs of different fish species, such as herbivorous, carnivorous, and omnivorous fish.

Reduces Production Costs

By efficiently processing materials, the machine minimizes raw material waste, producing consistently high-quality feed and achieving effective cost control.

Promotes Efficiency and Environmental Protection

The fish feed machine controls dust and noise emissions effectively, meeting environmental standards and reducing its impact on the surrounding environment.

Application of ‌ feed extruder

Typically, the production of Feed Extruder‌ uses raw materials such as corn, soybeans, wheat, and other nutrients as the formula. Our feed extruder is specially used to produce pet feed (dog food, cat food, rabbit food, hamster food, mink food, etc.), aquatic feed (fish food, shrimp food, turtle food, etc.). For different animals, with different growth cycles,  the feed pellet size required is different, but our Feed Extruder‌ only needs to replace ring molds with different apertures or use a pellet crumbler to reach the required size.
