      Features of Our Fish Feed Production Lines

      A fish feed production line is a complete system of machines used to process raw materials into high-quality fish feed pellets. It typically includes grinding, mixing, extrusion, drying, cooling, and packing equipment.

      The fish feed pellet line can produce floating feed, sinking feed, and slow-sinking feed. Pellet size can be adjusted (0.9–15 mm) to suit different fish species, growth stages, and feeding habits.

      • Dry-type fish feed line: Uses a dry extruder, requires no steam boiler, and is suitable for small to medium-scale production.
      • Wet-type fish feed line: Uses a wet extruder with a steam boiler, produces better-quality feed, and is ideal for large-scale commercial production.

      Common ingredients include corn, soybean meal, rice bran, wheat bran, fish meal, bone meal, groundnut cake, vitamins, minerals, and other additives. The exact formula can be customized depending on the nutritional requirements.

      Pellet quality is controlled by:

      • Proper grinding for uniform particle size.
      • Precise mixing of ingredients.
      • Accurate extrusion parameters (temperature, moisture, pressure).
      • Correct drying and cooling to maintain durability and shelf life.

      Yes. With minor adjustments, the line can also be used for shrimp feed, pet food (dog/cat/bird), and livestock/poultry feed.

      We provide installation guidance, operator training, spare parts supply, and technical support for troubleshooting and maintenance.

      The required space depends on the line’s capacity. For example:

      • Small line: 100–200 m²
      • Medium line: 300–500 m²
      • Large line: 800+ m²

      Yes, production lines can be tailored to:

      • Desired capacity.
      • Pellet type (floating/sinking).
      • Level of automation.
      • Local ingredient availability.
      • Specific fish species (tilapia, catfish, carp, trout, salmon, shrimp, etc.).
      • Floating feed stays on the water surface, making it easy to monitor feed intake and reduce waste.
      • Sinking feed is suitable for bottom-feeding species like catfish or shrimp.
      • Both types can be produced on the same fish feed line with different die configurations.
      • Regular lubrication of bearings and moving parts.
      • Timely replacement of hammer mill screens, mixer paddles, and extruder screws/dies.
      • Cleaning the dryer and cooler to avoid blockages.
      • Periodic inspection of electrical systems.

      Modern fish feed lines are designed for low energy consumption per ton of feed produced. Wet-type fish feed extruders with steam boilers can reduce power costs by improving cooking efficiency.

      Properly extruded, dried, and packed fish feed pellets can last 6–12 months depending on storage conditions (cool, dry, and away from sunlight).

      Dry-type fish feed line: No boiler required.
      Wet-type fish feed line: Requires a steam boiler to condition raw materials, ensuring better pellet quality.

      Yes. We provide basic feed formulations for common species (tilapia, carp, catfish, trout, shrimp, etc.).
