The nameplate capacity is 25 kg per hour. Actual output varies with raw material, moisture content, formulation and die size; expect variation up to ±20% depending on conditions.
It can process cereals and oilseed meals (corn, wheat, soybean), fishmeal, rice bran, insect meal and many single raw materials for puffing. It's suitable for floating fish feed, livestock and poultry feed, pet food and single-ingredient puffed products.
The single-screw extruder is typically used for general feed puffing and single raw-material applications. The twin-screw extruder is better for higher-quality aquatic and pet feeds and for processing viscous or complex formulations because of superior mixing, feeding stability and easier control of residence time.
Yes — the machine is designed to produce floating (puffed) pellets. Buoyancy is controlled by formulation, inlet moisture, extrusion temperature/pressure and die design; a post-extrusion dryer/cooler and formulation (starch/protein balance) are commonly used to achieve stable floating characteristics.
Pellet diameter and shape are determined by the die plate. Die plates are interchangeable so you can produce a range of sizes commonly used in fish feed (small to medium diameters). For specific diameters available, request the supplier's die options.
The product line includes both dry and wet extruders. Dry extrusion is commonly used for direct puffing of single ingredients and some feeds; wet extrusion (with higher moisture input) is used when different textural properties or downstream drying are required. Choose based on your formulation and downstream equipment.
Typical production includes raw material grinding and mixing, the extruder, and downstream equipment such as a dryer, cooler, screener and optional coating/oiling unit. A pellet cooler and storage/packaging equipment are also commonly used.
Power requirements depend on the specific model and motor options. The best approach is to request the electrical specification sheet from the supplier for the exact model you plan to buy; they will list motor power, voltage and phase requirements.
The machine is designed for farm and small-factory use. Routine operation requires basic training in feeding, temperature and moisture control. Maintenance includes daily cleaning, regular lubrication, and periodic replacement of wear parts (screw, barrel, die). Supplier training and an operation manual are typically provided.
Common wear parts include the screw, barrel, cutting knives and dies. Reputable suppliers provide spare parts and can advise on recommended parts to keep in stock for uninterrupted operation.
Shut down and disconnect power before cleaning. Remove and clean removable parts (dies, cutters, hoppers), clear feed residues from the screw and barrel, and sanitize surfaces that contact product. Frequency depends on product changes and local feed safety rules; follow the supplied cleaning and sanitation guidelines.
Yes. Suppliers commonly offer customization (different dies, motor options, control panels) and larger or smaller capacity models. For commercial scaling, discuss required throughput and product specs so the supplier can recommend the correct model.
Price varies with model configuration, accessories (dryer, cooler, mixer), electrical options, customization and order quantity. Contact the supplier/manufacturer for a formal quotation including shipping, installation and any after-sales service.
Expect basic safety features such as guards, emergency stop buttons and interlocks. Reputable suppliers provide an operation manual, recommended safety procedures and options for operator training or commissioning to ensure safe, correct use.
