Small Feed Line Designed for Stable Farm Production

The floating fish food making production line for Farm Use is a compact feed processing solution specially designed for fish farms, shrimp farms, poultry farms, and small pet food businesses. It is suitable for producing floating fish feed, sinking fish feed, shrimp feed, cat food, dog food, and other aquatic or pet feed pellets with stable quality and low production cost.

This floating fish food pellet making production line combines crushing, mixing, extrusion, drying, seasoning, and cooling into one continuous processing system. Compared with manual feed preparation, the line improves pellet uniformity, feed digestibility, floating stability, and storage life.

It is widely used by:

• Small and medium fish farms
• Family aquaculture businesses
• Tilapia and catfish farms
• Ornamental fish feed workshops
• Shrimp feed producers
• Small pet food factories
• Feed research and testing centers

The production capacity is usually between 40kg/h and 500kg/h, making it suitable for startup feed businesses and farm self-use production.

Moisture Requirement

Recommended raw material moisture before extrusion:

Dry type line: 15%–20%

Wet type line: 20%–30%

Uniform moisture helps improve pellet expansion and floating performance.

Application Range

Aquatic Feed Production

The line can produce feed for:

• Tilapia
• Catfish
• Carp
• Grass carp
• Trout
• Salmon
• Shrimp
• Crab
• Turtle
• Ornamental fish

The pellet size can normally be adjusted from 0.9mm to 8mm.

Pet Food Production

• Suitable for:
• Dog food
• Cat food
• Puppy feed
• Bird feed
• Rabbit feed

Different molds and formulas allow the production of various pellet shapes and sizes.

Production Process of the Small Feed Production Line

The production flow is designed for stable pellet forming and easy farm operation.

1. Raw Material Crushing

Equipment:

Hammer mill / Feed crusher

Large raw materials such as corn and soybean cake are crushed into fine powder. Fine grinding improves starch gelatinization during extrusion and helps increase feed digestibility.

Recommended Powder Size:

Fish feed: 60–80 mesh

Shrimp feed: finer than 80 mesh

2. Feed Mixing

Equipment:

Horizontal feed mixer

Different feed ingredients and additives are mixed evenly to ensure balanced nutrition in every pellet.

Mixing Advantages:

• Uniform nutrient distribution
• Stable protein content
• Better pellet consistency

Typical mixing time:

10–15 minutes per batch

3. Feed Extrusion

Equipment:

Fish feed extruder machine

This is the core machine of the production line. High temperature and pressure cook the feed material and form pellets through the die mold.

Main Functions:

• Pellet shaping
• Sterilization
• Starch gelatinization
• Floating pellet forming

Optional Extruder Types:

Dry Type Extruder

Lower investment

Easier operation

Suitable for small farms

Wet Type Extruder

Better pellet stability

Higher output

More suitable for commercial feed factories

4. Pellet Drying

Equipment:

Animal Feed Pellet Drying Machine

Fresh pellets contain high moisture after extrusion. The dryer reduces moisture to improve storage stability.

Drying Benefits:

• Prevent mold growth
• Extend feed shelf life
• Improve pellet hardness

Recommended final moisture:

About 8%–12%

5. Flavoring and Oil Spraying

Equipment:

Seasoning machine

Oil, attractants, vitamins, or flavor powder are sprayed onto pellet surfaces.

Purpose:

• Improve palatability
• Increase fat content
• Enhance feed aroma

Especially important for:

• Cat food
• Dog food
• High-protein fish feed

6. Cooling and Packing

Equipment:

• Floating Fish Feed Machine Pellet Cooler Machine +Automatic packing scale
• Pellets are cooled to room temperature before packaging.

Cooling Advantages:

• Reduce pellet breakage
• Prevent condensation inside bags
• Improve transportation stability

Main Features of the Small Fish Feed Production Line

• Compact Structure for Farm Use

The entire line occupies small workshop space and is suitable for farms with limited installation area.

Typical area requirement:

30–80㎡ depending on capacity

• Stable Floating Feed Production

The extrusion system can produce pellets with good floating performance.

Floating time:

Usually more than 12 hours depending on formula

This helps farmers observe feeding conditions and reduce feed waste in ponds.

• Adjustable Pellet Size

Different molds can produce various pellet diameters.

• Lower Feed Production Cost

Farmers can use local raw materials instead of purchasing expensive commercial feed.

This helps:

Reduce feeding costs

Improve farm profit margins

Control feed formula quality

• Easy Operation and Maintenance

The line is designed for continuous daily production with simple control systems.

Key Advantages:

Easy mold replacement

Convenient cleaning

Stable gearbox transmission

Long service life

Operators usually require only short training before production.

Why Many Farms Choose Small fish feed pellet making production Lines

• Better Feed Freshness

Self-produced feed can avoid long storage periods and nutrient loss.

• Flexible Feed Formula Adjustment

Farmers can quickly change protein ratios according to:

Fish growth stage

Water temperature

Market price of raw materials

• Improved Feed Conversion Ratio

Uniform pellets and proper cooking improve feed digestion and reduce waste.

FAQ
