Application scenarios of single-screw floating fish feed extruder machine in production - Knowledge

content

Aquatic feed production for family-run fish farmers and small fish farms. Family-run fish farmers (5-20 mu of fishponds) and small fish farms (20-50 mu of fishponds) have low feed requirements (50-500 kg/day) and prioritize cost control. The capacity (50-500 kg/h) of a single-screw fish feed processing machine is perfectly suited to their cost advantages. These scenarios primarily produce sinking feed for bottom-dwelling fish such as carp, grass carp, and crucian carp. By adjusting the screw speed (300-350 rpm) and die diameter (3-4 mm), a single-screw extruder can produce dense, water-resistant (8-12 hours) sinking pellets, with feed waste rate controlled below 5%. For example, a family-run fish farmer using a 100 kg/h single-screw extruder to produce grass carp feed from corn, soybean meal, and fishmeal can produce 200 kg per day. The raw material cost plus energy cost is only 2.5 yuan/catties, saving 30%-40% compared to purchasing finished feed.

Standard feed production for small and medium-sized poultry and livestock feed processing enterprises. The standard compound feeds for pigs, chickens, and ducks produced by these enterprises have simple compositions (with corn and soybean meal as core raw materials) and do not require complex processing techniques. A single-screw extruder can efficiently complete the production. For example, in producing piglet nursery feed, a single-screw extruder uses low-temperature, low-pressure extrusion (temperature 100-110℃, pressure 2-3MPa) to produce fine and soft feed pellets with a digestibility rate of over 85%. In producing laying hen feed, adjusting the die diameter by 2-3mm produces uniform pellets, preventing picky eating by hens. The single-screw extruder has low equipment purchase costs (50,000-200,000 RMB), is easy to operate, requires no specialized technical team, and can help small and medium-sized enterprises quickly start production and generate profits.

Small-batch trial production and customized production of pet food. Pet food startups or small processing plants need to conduct small-batch trial production (50-200kg/batch) to verify the feasibility of their new products. The single-screw pet food extrusion machine's production capacity flexibility and low cost make it an ideal choice. For example, when trial-producing a high-meat-content small dog food, a single-screw extruder can ensure sufficient denaturation of the meat raw materials and good palatability of the feed pellets by adjusting the screw length-to-diameter ratio (20:1) and extrusion temperature (130-140℃). Simultaneously, it allows for quick die changes to produce pellets of different shapes, meeting customized needs. The trial production cost is only 2000-3000 yuan, far lower than the trial production cost of a twin-screw extruder (10,000-20,000 yuan).
