The line is designed for a throughput range of approximately 100–200 kg per hour. Exact output depends on raw materials, pellet size, moisture target and operating parameters.
It can produce sinking and floating aquatic feeds as well as dry pet food snacks and pellets. Shapes and textures are adjustable to make fish feed, cat/dog kibble, treats and other extruded snacks.
Common ingredients include corn flour, wheat flour, fish meal, shrimp meal, bran, soy flour, fish oil and vegetable oil. The system handles a wide range of starches, meals and binders; recipes may need tuning.
By changing the moulds, you can produce pellets from about 3 mm up to 20 mm diameter and various other shapes (rings, stars, hollow, etc.). One mould of the customer’s chosen diameter is included; additional moulds are extra.
Yes. The line supports one-pass automatic processing: mixing, conveying, extrusion, cutting, drying, flavoring/coating, cooling and packing. Some peripheral adjustments and supervision by operators are required.
Typical steps: ingredient mixing → spiral conveyor → extruder (cooking and shaping) → air conveyor → continuous dryer (moisture reduction) → oil/flavor coating → cooling → packaging.
Yes. Buoyancy is determined by formulation, extrusion parameters (cooking/expansion) and drying. By adjusting raw-material ratios, screw speed, temperature and moisture, you can produce sinking or floating pellets.
Yes. The line includes an oil sprayer/coating system for fish oil or vegetable oil and a flavoring/mixing unit to evenly coat pellets after drying and before cooling.
Standard supply typically includes mixer, spiral conveyor, extruder with one mould (chosen size), cutter, air conveyor, continuous dryer, flavoring/oil spray, cooler and packing unit. Additional moulds, specific packing options, special feeders or optional accessories are charged extra.
Exact footprint and power consumption depend on the chosen configuration and accessories. Please provide your layout and local voltage to receive estimated floor area and electrical load. We can supply typical drawings and a power schedule on request.
Usually 1–3 trained operators per shift can run a 100–200 kg/h line, depending on automation level and packing arrangement. One operator typically oversees mixing/extrusion and another monitors drying/packing.
Regular tasks include daily cleaning of mixer, extruder barrel and feeding systems, weekly inspection of screws and cutters, periodic replacement of wear parts (seals, cutters, gaskets) and lubrication per the maintenance schedule. Detailed maintenance manuals are provided.
Target moisture typically ranges from 8% to 14% depending on product type and storage needs. Drying time and temperature are adjustable to reach the required final moisture for shelf stability and buoyancy.
Yes. We offer installation, commissioning and on-site or remote operator training packages. Scope and cost depend on site location and customer requirements.
Lead time varies with configuration and order size—typically several weeks to a few months. Standard warranties and spare-parts support are offered; exact terms depend on the sales agreement. We also supply recommended spare parts kits and after-sales service options.
