Product Description
Our single screw floating fish feed extruder machine is a robust, cost-effective dry-type extrusion solution engineered to produce high-quality floating fish feed pellets for freshwater and marine aquaculture. Designed for small to medium-scale feed mills and fish farms, this machine transforms raw agricultural ingredients into uniform, buoyant feed pellets with excellent water stability and nutritional retention. It eliminates the need for a boiler (steam system), simplifying operation and lowering initial investment while delivering consistent floating pellet output ideal for tilapia, carp, catfish, koi, and other surface-feeding fish.
Working Principle
The single screw floating fish feed making machine operates on mechanical extrusion and thermo-mechanical processing:
1. Feeding & Mixing: Pre-ground raw materials (corn, soybean meal, fish meal, etc.) are fed into the extruder via a screw feeder, ensuring uniform material flow.
2. Extrusion & Heating: As the single screw rotates inside the barrel, it generates mechanical shear and friction, converting kinetic energy into heat (110–160°C). Simultaneously, the barrel’s electric heating system maintains precise temperature control.
3. Pressurization & Gelatinization: Materials are compressed under 3–8 MPa pressure, softening and gelatinizing starches (up to 90% gelatinization rate) while killing harmful bacteria (E. coli, salmonella).
4. Extrusion & Expansion: The high-temperature, high-pressure mixture is forced through a precision die template. Upon exiting to atmospheric pressure, internal water vapor expands instantly, creating a porous, floating pellet structure.
5. Cutting: An adjustable rotating cutter slices extruded strands into consistent pellet lengths (1–5mm) based on production needs.






Structure Composition
1. Feeding System: Variable-speed screw feeder with hopper, ensures steady, adjustable material input.
2. Extrusion Unit: Hardened alloy single screw (wear-resistant, 8000–10,000-ton service life) and precision-machined barrel with modular liners.
3. Heating & Control System: 3–4 zone electric heating (independent temperature control) + PLC control panel for real-time parameter adjustment.
4. Die & Cutting Assembly: Replaceable stainless steel dies (0.9–15mm 孔径) + frequency conversion cutter for uniform pellet sizing.
5. Main Drive: High-power electric motor (30–75kW) with gear reducer, stable low-noise operation.
6. Frame: Heavy-duty steel frame with anti-vibration mounts, compact footprint (1.8×0.8×1.5m).

Main Advantages & Features
✅ Cost-Effective: Dry Type floating fish feed pellet making machine (no boiler required) cuts initial investment by 30% vs. wet Type floating fish food maker machines; low power consumption (22–28 kW·h/t) reduces operational costs.
✅ High Adaptability: Processes 20+ raw materials (corn, wheat, rice bran, soybean meal, fish meal, cassava flour); supports floating/sinking pellet switching via parameter adjustment.
✅ Superior Pellet Quality: Uniform pellets (size deviation ≤5%), 24+ hour water stability, high digestibility (improves fish growth rate by 15–20%).
✅ Easy Operation & Maintenance: User-friendly PLC control; modular screw/barrel design for quick replacement; minimal wearing parts.
✅ Compact & Efficient: Small floor space; capacity range 300–2000 kg/h, ideal for small farms/feed mills scaling production.
✅ Long Service Life: Screw/barrel made of 38CrMoAl alloy (nitrided treatment); 2x longer wear life than standard models.

Product Parameters
Product Applications
1. Freshwater Fish Farming: Tilapia, grass carp, silver carp, common carp, catfish (floating pellets reduce waste, improve feed conversion ratio (FCR))
2. Ornamental Fish: Koi, goldfish (uniform, slow-sinking/floating pellets with high nutrition retention)
3. Small Aquafeed Mills: Small-batch custom feed production for local fish farms
4. Rural Aquaculture Cooperatives: On-site feed production using local raw materials, lowering transportation costs

Raw Material Requirements
Raw Material Types: Cereals (corn, wheat, rice), oilseed meals (soybean, rapeseed, peanut), animal proteins (fish meal, meat & bone meal), additives (vitamins, minerals, binders)
Particle Size: 60–100 mesh (superfine grinding improves gelatinization and pellet uniformity)
Moisture Content: 12–18% (adjust pre-extrusion; <12% causes overheating, >18% weakens pellets)
Starch Content: ≥15% (critical for expansion and floating ability; low-starch formulas need binders)


Customer Cases
Small-Scale Fish Farm in Botswana
Client: Local tilapia farmer (5-hectare pond, 10-ton annual production)
Needs: Convert local corn/soybean meal into floating feed; 500–600 kg/h capacity; low investment
Solution: DGP-120 single screw floating fish food maker machine (dry type)
Result: Produces 500 kg/h high-quality floating pellets; covers own farm needs + sells surplus to 3 neighboring farms; reduces feed cost by 40% vs. commercial feed
FAQ
Q1: Can this Single-Screw floating fish food pellet making machine produce both floating and sinking fish feed?
A: Yes. Adjust screw speed, temperature, and raw material moisture/starch content: high expansion = floating pellets; low expansion (add oil/protein) = sinking pellets.
Q2: What is the service life of the screw and barrel?
A: 8000–10,000 tons of production with proper maintenance; replaceable liners extend barrel life by 50%.
Q3: How long is the warranty?
A: 12-month warranty from commissioning; free technical support + spare parts at cost post-warranty.
Q4: Is training provided for machine operation?
A: Yes. Free on-site installation, commissioning, and operator training (1–2 days); detailed manual + video tutorials included.
Q5: What is the delivery time?
A: 15–20 days for standard models; 25–30 days for customized configurations.
Q6: Can the machine use local agricultural by-products?
A: Yes. Compatible with rice bran, cassava flour, peanut meal, etc., as long as particle size and moisture meet requirements.
