Floating Fish Feed Machine

What makes fish pellets float?

Some kinds of fish food pellets float and some sink. It depends upon the contents of the pellet and how much air is incorporated into the pellet when it is formed in the factory. Floating pellets are loosely pressed when manufactured, so they pellets are filled with many small air pockets. Sometimes the material of which they are made is whipped into a kind of froth before they are extruded into pellet form. This makes the pellets buoyant and they float. Pellets made to sink are generally compressed much more tightly and have almost no air space within. If you check out floating and sinking shrimp pellets, for example, you may see that the sinking pellets have been compressed so much during extrusion that they are somewhat hard and shiny on the outside.

The main ingredients of fish feed include rice bran, fish meal, soybean meal, maize, peanut cake etc., which can be purchased locally. The challenge of making feed in Nigeria is not sourcing ingredients but the technology involved in formulation and processing. Fish feed is usually processed in two ways: by pelleting or extrusion. In order to obtain high quality fish feed particles, extrusion is more popular than pelleting.

4.What are the advantages of floating fish feed?

The pellets produced by pelleting sink quickly when they are thrown into a pond or sink, damaging and contaminating the water in the pond and causing waste because it is impossible to detect when the fish are satisfied with feeding. In addition, some materials do not cook well with the granulation method. Extruded floating feeds are favored by Nigerian farmers because they allow observation of feeding processes to prevent wasteful feeding, and processing methods help destroy anti-nutrient factors and other contaminants. Floating feed pellets are also very stable in water.

8.FAQ
Q: What's the difference between dry type extruder and wet type extruder?

A: The difference is the wet type need a steam boiler while the dry type doesn’t. The dry type is cheaper than wet type, and the feed pellets made by wet type extruder is much smooth and with better quality.

Q: How long does the floating fish pellet float on the water surface?

A: The feed pellets can float on the water surface for over 20 hours.

Q: Does the fish pellet machine can only make feed pellets for fish?

A: No. It's not only can make high-grade aquatic feed pellets for fish, catfish, shrimps, crab etc., but also can make pellets for chicken, cat, dog, etc.

Q: Do you supply the whole fish feed production line?

A: Yes. We can supply a fish feed product line include crusher, mixer, fish feed pellet machine, feed pellet dryer, fish feed pellet cooler, oil spray machine and packing machine. The capacity is from 60-5000kg/h.

Q: Is there a formula of making fish feed pellet?

A: We can offer free formula to our customers.
