Floating fish feed production process
— Richi Machinery —
RICHI has always been at the forefront of technology and attaches great importance to the innovation of floating fish feed production technology.
After communicating with many customers and continuously improving the technology, we now have a complete set of production processes in the field of floating fish feed production:
Receiving and storing raw materials
The starting stage of the entire feed pellet production line is the receipt and storage of raw materials. With more than 20 years of professional experience in storage equipment design and manufacturing, RICHI can build a reasonable raw material storage solution for you.
First crushing and mixing
The first crushing of raw materials, also called coarse crushing, is mainly aimed at crushing materials that account for a relatively large proportion in the feed formula and improving the working efficiency of ultrafine powder in subsequent processes.
Second crushing
Since aquatic animals have a small food intake and poor digestion ability in their digestive tract, strict requirements are placed on the fineness of the raw materials. Therefore, secondary crushing is carried out. During the second crushing, ultrafine grinder can be used to reduce the material to smaller particle size.
Second mixing
According to the feed formula, the trace elements, premixes, oils and fats that need to be added are fed into the feed mixer through the feed port. In the mixer, they are evenly mixed with the crushed bulk materials to form the raw materials to be extruded.
Extrusion Section
The mixed materials enter the fish feed extruder machine, where they are subjected to high temperature, high pressure and high humidity to achieve the effect of maturation and sterilization, and then are extruded and puffed by the screw to form extruded aquatic feed.
Drying section
The moisture content of the extruded feed pellets from the fish feed extruder machine is between 18% and 20%, which is prone to mold and deterioration if stored for a long time. Therefore, a dryer is needed to dry the extruded feed pellet. The moisture content of the dried extruded feed is between 10% and 11%, which can be stored for a long time.
Spraying Section
The dried extruded feed pellet is sprayed by spraying equipment to increase the fat content in the extruded feed pellet, thereby improving the palatability of the feed pellets and meeting the energy needs of aquatic organisms such as fish.
Cooling section
The extruded feed after extrusion, drying and spraying has high temperature, a soft texture and is easy to break. In order to increase the hardness of the extruded feed and facilitate subsequent processing as well as the storage and transportation of pellets, pellet cooler is needed to cool the extruded feed to room temperature.
Packing Section
Using fully automatic packing equipment, feed pellets can be packed into bags of 10-50 kg each, which is easy to store, transport and sell. For some large feed mills or farms, ton bag scales can also be used. Packing equipment can be selected and customized according to specific needs.
Floating Fish Feed Line
This is the standard floating fish feed production process. Each process is modular in design. Not every customer’s floating fish feed production line needs to use all of the above processes. The process sections can be increased or decreased according to specific needs. The equipment in each process section will also be adjusted according to the needs of raw materials, capacity, etc.

Frequently Asked Questions
Customized solutions can help different customers meet their unique business needs, improve efficiency, and reduce costs.
All of Ruiqi’s floating fish feed production lines are custom designed. Tailored professional floating fish feed production plants
Why use extrusion technology to produce extruded feed?
Firstly, the floating fish feed after extrusion can float on the water surface and can meet the feeding habits of fish growing in the middle and upper layers. On the other hand, it is convenient to observe the amount of food eaten by fish. If there is residual aquatic feed on the water surface, it means that the feed fed last time has not been eaten up.
Secondly, compared with pelleted feed, extruded aquatic feed has a higher degree of maturity and is more conducive to fish absorption.
Why is the degree of maturity higher when using an fish feed extruder machine than feed pelletizer?
The feed pelletizer forms pellets by squeezing between a roller and a ring die. The highest temperature of the feed pellets after extrusion is only 90 degrees. However, the material in the extrusion chamber can reach 140 degrees during extrusion. For a twin-screw fish feed extruder machine, the temperature can reach 200 degrees at high temperatures.
In addition, the screw continuously shears the materials during rotation, and there will also be frictional shear force, which will also help the maturation of the materials to a certain extent.
How can we produce high-quality extruded feed?
In order to obtain better quality extruded floating feed, every link of feed production is very important, among which there are several important points to note:
First, the raw materials should be finely ground. The finer the raw materials are ground, the easier it is to mix the raw materials with steam in the modulator and to extrude the raw materials in the extrusion chamber, making it easier to obtain extruded feed with a smooth surface and uniform color.
Secondly, a reasonable formula is the key factor in producing high-quality extruded feed, especially the starch content in the raw materials, because the starch content is the key factor that determines the buoyancy and sinking properties of the extruded feed.
In addition, whether to choose spraying equipment and the choice of sprayer. Spraying can significantly increase the oil content of extruded feed pellet, and the effects brought by different spraying equipment are different. For example, the spraying effects brought by roller sprayers and vacuum sprayers are completely different.
The quality of extruded feed is closely related to every production link and the equipment selected. If you want to get high-quality extruded feed, you can contact us immediately to get more detailed information.
Can the floating fish feed production line only be used to produce a single floating fish feed pellet?
No. From the above cases and customized solution design, we can see that our feed production line is not only used to produce floating fish feed. Because our entire feed production line is modular in design, each work section can be increased or decreased. Therefore, if there is a demand for the production of shrimp feed, poultry feed, livestock feed, etc., we will take all the customer’s production needs into consideration when designing the feed production plan, and then customize a compound feed production line that can produce a variety of feed types.
For example, 1 ton per hour fish and shrimp feed production line, 2-3 tons per hour floating and sinking fish feed production line, 5 tons per hour floating and poultry feed production line……
