What are the essential steps involved in cleaning a floating fish feed extruder machine?

Dec 15, 2025

The cleaning of a dog food making machine's Fish Feed Extrusion Processor should adhere to the principle of "light cleaning, heavy maintenance."

Operating steps

First, a basic cleaning should be performed after daily production, including cleaning the cutter, mold surface, and feed inlet. This high-frequency, low-intensity cleaning effectively prevents scale buildup.

Second, a deep cleaning should be performed periodically. Disassemble the screw and barrel to check for wear, scoring, or carbon buildup. For high-oil dog food formulas, it is recommended to increase the cleaning frequency to prevent long-term grease buildup that could cause screw slippage.

Third, cleaning the lubrication system of the small floating fish feed machine is equally important. During cleaning, avoid getting detergent or water into the bearings and gearbox. After cleaning, replenish grease promptly to ensure smooth operation of the transmission system.

Fourth, keep detailed records during the cleaning process. Recording cleaning time, cleaning areas, and problems found helps identify potential faults early and avoids sudden downtime.

In the long run, standardized cleaning can reduce maintenance costs, ensuring the floating fish food extruder maintains stable production capacity and good forming results.
