feed pellet Ultra-Fine Grinder
This equipment is designed for the ultra-fine grinding of specialized aquatic feed, producing a particle size of 60–300 mesh. The finely ground feed is better suited for feeding young aquatic animals.
vacuum coating machine
It evenly sprays nutritional supplements such as fish oil, phospholipids, and vitamin solutions on the feed pellet surface, significantly increasing the energy content and palatability.
pellet Cooling Machine
It uses air to cool the feed to near room temperature, thereby stabilizing its structure and preventing mold growth. It effectively controls the cooling rate to ensure the pellets’ water resistance.
Vibrating Screen Classifier
It screens cooled particles, and utilizes the vibrating screen to classify mixtures of different particle sizes, which separates qualified products from powder and oversized particles.
Automatic packaging system
This machine automatically weighs and packages shrimp feed pellets. The feed is packaged in bags weighing 10–50 kg. Sealing methods include heat sealing, stitching, and a combination of both.
