Diesel fish feed pellet maker machine production process

🟢 Introduction

A diesel floating fish feed extruder machine with 200–300kg/h capacity is a practical solution for small-scale aquaculture and feed production, especially in areas with unstable or no electricity supply. It allows farmers to produce high-quality floating fish feed independently, reducing reliance on commercial feed and lowering operational costs.

🟡 1. What Is a diesel floating fish feed pellet extruder machine?

A diesel floating fish feed pellet extruder machine is a feed processing machine powered by a diesel engine instead of electricity.

It is designed to:

Produce floating fish feed pellets

Operate in remote or off-grid environments

Deliver stable performance without power supply limitations

👉 Compared with electric models, it offers greater flexibility in field operations.

🟡 2. Why Choose 200–300kg/h Capacity?

This capacity range is considered ideal for:

🐟 Small Fish Farms

Daily feed production matches farm needs
Avoids feed waste and storage issues

💰 Startup Feed Business

Low investment cost
Fast return on investment

🌍 Remote Areas

Easy to transport
Works without electricity

👉 It is one of the most popular entry-level models in the global aquaculture market.

🟡 3. Working Principle of diesel floating fish feed pellet making machine

🔧 Step 1: Raw Material Mixing

Ingredients such as fish meal, soybean meal, and corn flour are mixed.

🔧 Step 2: Feeding System

Material enters the extrusion chamber.

🔧 Step 3: High-Temperature Extrusion

High pressure and temperature cook the feed

Starch gelatinizes and expands

🔧 Step 4: Pellet Formation

Pellets are shaped and cut.

🔧 Step 5: Floating Effect

Sudden pressure release creates internal pores → pellets float on water.
