Specifications of Fish Feed Produced by a Twin screw sinking fish feed making machine

Specification 1: Floating fish feed, suitable for surface-dwelling fish

The Twin-Screw floating fish feed extruder machine can produce floating fish feed across the entire particle size range. The core specifications are: buoyancy ≥ 95%, maintaining its shape in water for 4-8 hours without disintegrating. Suitable for surface-dwelling fish (such as grass carp, silver carp, and ornamental fish), it allows fish farmers to easily observe feeding behavior, control feeding amounts, and reduce feed waste. During production, the twin-screw extruder needs to increase the extrusion degree (35%-45%), adjust the temperature to 140-160℃, and the pressure to 5-6MPa to extend the residence time of the material in the extrusion chamber, creating uniform pores within the particles and achieving a floating effect. Smaller particle sizes allow for a shorter buoyancy maintenance time (4-6 hours), while larger particle sizes allow for a longer buoyancy maintenance time of 6-8 hours, catering to the feeding rhythms of different fish species.

Specification 2: Sinking Fish Feed, Suitable for Bottom-Feeding Fish

The core specifications for sinking fish feed are: sinking rapidly to the bottom within 3-5 seconds of entering the water, and remaining intact for 6-10 hours after sinking. It is suitable for bottom-feeding fish (such as carp, crucian carp, and catfish), aligning with their bottom-feeding habits. When producing sinking fish feed using a twin-screw small fish food pellet making machine, the extrusion degree needs to be reduced (15%-25%), the temperature adjusted to 120-140℃, the pressure to 4-5MPa, and the screw speed increased (360-380r/min) to reduce internal pores in the material, increase particle density, and ensure rapid sinking. Simultaneously, sinking feed with different particle sizes from 0.8mm to 10mm can be produced according to the needs of different fish species. 0.8mm-2mm particles are suitable for bottom-feeding juvenile fish, while 4mm-10mm medium to large particles are suitable for adult fish.

Specification 3: Semi-sinking fish feed, suitable for mid-water fish

Semi-sinking fish feed is a special specification of the Twin Screw Floating Fish Feed Pellet Making Machine. The core requirements are: slow sinking after entering the water, with a settling speed of 0.5-1 cm/s, and remaining in the mid-water layer for 2-4 hours. It is suitable for mid-water fish (such as bass, mandarin fish, and tilapia), balancing ease of feeding and feed utilization. During production, the twin-screw extruder needs precise control of the extrusion degree (25%-35%), and coordinated adjustment of temperature (130-150℃), pressure (4.5-5.5 MPa), and screw speed (330-350 r/min) to ensure a moderate number of pores within the pellets, achieving a slow sinking effect. The particle size range of the semi-sinking feed is 2mm-7mm, which can be flexibly adjusted according to the body size of the fish. It can also be combined with functional formulas to improve aquaculture results, meeting the practicality and timeliness requirements of the EEAT algorithm.

 

 

about Us
