types of extruder machines for FLOATING fish FEED
Unlike the high-intensity compression of fish feed pellet making machine, this extruder incorporates an additional puffing process. This helps improve the maturation of fish feed and promotes digestion and absorption for fish. In addition, our floating fish feed extruder machine can also be used to produce high-quality sinking feed, pet food, and more.
single screw vs twin screw extruder
These three extruder types meet different production scale and quality requirements. Among them, single-screw extruders are further classified into wet and dry process configurations.
Dry type fish feed extruder
A single-screw dry type extruder is the most basic extruder in the production of aquatic feed pellets with a simple structure and low price. Also, it is easy to manipulate and control. It can be used in the production of floating fish feed, sinking aquatic feed, and more, ensuring the nutritional content and digestibility of feed.
Capacity: 0.2-1.0 T/H
Screw Diameter: 90-160 mm
wet type fish feed extruder
It is typically connected to a steam system, which allows for higher conditioning temperatures. As a result, it achieves a higher degree of maturation and better extrusion results. It is suitable for continuous production needs, as well as for high-quality aquafeed and pet food. The fish feed can float on the water’s surface for at least 12 hours.
Capacity: 0.5-1.0 T/H
Screw Diameter: 90-135 mm
This machine is equipped with two extrusion screws that can be adjusted to different speeds, allowing it to accommodate a wider range of feed formulations, including sinking, semi-floating, and floating feeds.

What equipment is needed to produce floating fish feed?
When building or rebuilding the fish feed production line, the selection of a twin screw floating fish feed extruder should be considered first, and the equipment should be selected according to the production capacity and investment.
During the transformation of the fish feed production line, it is also necessary to consider whether the production capacity and production effect of the original feed grinder machine, cooling machine, and dryer can meet the requirements of the selected fish feed pellet making machine and whether the existing equipment can be used to reduce investment.
RICHI Machinery can provide you with a floating fish feed extruder machine of various capacities. We can help you with plan design, workshop layout, equipment production, installation, training to after-sales. If you are intending to invest in the aquatic feed pellet production industry, just contact us.

How does a floating fish feed extruder work?
Extrusion processing is a processing technology in that raw materials are processed by high temperature, high pressure, and instant ripening, integrating transportation, crushing, extrusion, mixing, shearing, high-temperature disinfection, and molding. And it can process viscous, high-fat, high moisture raw materials.
This is incomparable to the general production process, so it is increasingly used in the production of high-grade feed and food such as aquatic feed, pet feed, special breeding, etc.

What are the advantages of the expanded aquatic feed pellets produced by the floating fish feed extruder machine?
01 Good water resistance
The structure formed in the expansion process makes the expanded aquatic feed pellets stable in water. Whether it is the sinking feed or the floating feed, it can not collapse after soaking in water for 12 hours, which can maintain the quality of aquaculture water. It not only greatly reduces the waste of feed, but also provides a good environment for the healthy growth of aquatic animals.
02 Higher digestibility
The changes in starch, protein, and other substances caused by high temperature, high pressure, and strong shearing during the processing of expanded feed have improved the digestibility of such substances. The starch gelatinization degree of expanded aquatic feed is generally above 85%, while that of ordinary hard-grain aquatic feed is only about 40%. Strong extrusion can degrade some compact cellulose and keratin, release indigestible nutrients, and greatly improve digestibility.
03 Excellent palatability
The proper temperature and pressure during the expansion process make the finished feed granules porous and even in texture, and produce some flavor substances, which stimulate the appetite of aquatic animals and increase their intake.
04 Widen the scope of raw material utilization
The leftovers from the food industry, brewing industry, agriculture, and other industries are not easy to be processed into other forms of aquatic products due to the excessive water, oil, or cellulose content. The twin-screw fish feed pellet making machine can make full use of them and enrich the feed resources.

How to maintain the twin screw fish feed extruder?
In order to prolong the service life of the twin-screw floating fish feed extruder machine, it is necessary not only to operate strictly according to the operating procedures but also to clean and maintain it regularly. What are the specific cleaning and maintenance methods?
01 Resin cleaning method
This method is to clean the machine with resin, such as polyester resin or epoxy resin. This is generally used when the fish feed pellet making machine has been used for a period of time. When some materials remain on the screw or the screw cylinder and are gelatinized, the extrusion speed of materials becomes slow, and the color difference of the color change varieties is large, this method can be used.
02 Non-resin cleaning method
This method uses materials such as rice, corn, sawdust, and toilet paper that have certain friction and are easy to crush. When the fish feed extruder is heated to the normal extrusion temperature, the friction between these materials and the screw and the screw barrel is used to remove the residues on the surface of the screw and the screw barrel.
Experience shows that the hardness of rice husk is high and the friction force is great, compared with the effect of machine cleaning. After cleaning with this method, it is necessary to open the screw barrel to check the cleaning condition.
In addition to cleaning methods, you should also be aware of the following maintenance tips:
- After using the machine for a period of time, a comprehensive inspection shall be carried out to check the tightness of all screws.
- In case of power interruption in production, the main drive and heating will stop. When the power supply is restored, all sections of the barrel must be reheated to the specified temperature and kept warm for a period of time before starting the extruder.
- After the extruder has been used for 500 hours, there will be iron chips or other impurities in the reduction gearbox. Therefore, the gears should be cleaned and the lubricating oil of the reduction gearbox should be replaced.
- The screw can only be started at low speed, and the idling time shall not exceed 3 minutes.
- No sundries are allowed in the materials, and hard objects such as metal, sand, and gravel are strictly prohibited from entering the hopper and extruder.
