What Does a Dry Type floating fish feed pellet making machine Do?
January 12, 2026
Significant Cost Advantages: Controllable Equipment and Operating Costs. The Dry Type fish feed making machine has a simple structure, requiring no auxiliary equipment such as steam boilers, water supply devices, or dryers. The purchase cost of a single unit is only 50,000-200,000 RMB (small to medium capacity models), far lower than the 500,000-5,000,000 RMB for a complete wet extrusion machine production line. In terms of operating costs, its energy consumption comes only from the motor, eliminating the need for steam and large amounts of water. The energy cost per ton of fish feed produced is approximately 150-200 RMB, more than 50% lower than that of a wet extrusion machine. For example, a family fish farmer raising fish in a 10-mu (approximately 1.65 acres) pond could choose a dry extrusion machine with a capacity of 100 kg per hour. The equipment purchase cost would be approximately 80,000 RMB, with annual operating costs of only 10,000-20,000 RMB, allowing for a recovery of the investment in 6-8 months, significantly reducing the pressure on aquaculture costs.
Easy Operation: Lowered Technical Barrier, Suitable for Small and Medium-Sized Users. The operation of the Dry Type fish feed production equipment is simple, requiring no specialized technicians; it can be operated after a short training period. Its core parameters (screw speed and die diameter) are easily adjustable. By changing the die diameter (1-5mm), different specifications of fish feed can be produced to meet the needs of different growth stages, such as fry, juveniles, and adult fish. Adjusting the screw speed controls the degree of feed extrusion, producing sinking, semi-sinking, and other types of feed. For example, when raising carp, a 1mm die can be used to produce starter feed for fry, reducing the screw speed to 250r/min to produce fine, soft pellets; a 4mm die can be used to produce adult fish feed, increasing the speed to 350r/min to produce compact, sinking pellets. Furthermore, the equipment is easy to maintain, with slow wear on core components (screw and extrusion chamber), resulting in annual maintenance costs of only 5%-8% of the equipment purchase cost.
High site adaptability: No complex accessories are required; it can be installed and operated immediately. The Dry fish feed pellet extruder machine has relaxed site requirements, occupying only 15-30㎡ of space. It does not require a stable steam supply, large water sources, or drainage facilities; only ordinary power supply is needed for installation and operation. This characteristic makes it particularly suitable for aquaculture scenarios with underdeveloped infrastructure, such as rural and remote areas. For example, small fish farms in mountainous regions lack steam supply and sufficient water sources. Using a dry-type extruder allows for the construction of a simple production workshop directly around the fish farm, enabling "made-to-order feeding," ensuring feed freshness, avoiding the hassle of transporting finished feed, and further reducing aquaculture costs.
Feed quality is tailored to bottom-dwelling fish: compact pellets improve feeding efficiency. As a specialized fish feed extrusion equipment, the Dry-Type fish feed pellet processing machine produces pellets with a compact structure, high hardness, and strong water resistance, precisely matching the feeding habits of bottom-dwelling fish such as carp, grass carp, and black carp. The pellets do not easily disintegrate in water and can withstand water for 8-12 hours, avoiding water pollution and nutrient waste caused by feed disintegration. Meanwhile, its puffing process can effectively kill harmful microorganisms such as E. coli and Salmonella in the raw materials, with a kill rate of over 99%, thus improving feed safety; it also destroys anti-nutritional factors in the raw materials (such as trypsin inhibitors in soybean meal), increasing feed digestibility and absorption by 20%-30%, reducing the incidence of gastrointestinal diseases in fish, and significantly improving aquaculture efficiency.
