Fish feed processing technology
In order to support provide a balanced and stable feeding for the farmed fish, many producers have shifted to manufactured pellets. Based on the behaviour in the water, fish feed can be divided into floating feed, slow-sinking feed, and sinking feed. RICHI offers you extrusion and pelletizing solution to produce high quality fish feed.Some customers need processed powdered fish feed, such as eel feed, and we can also customize the relevant process.
twin screw extrusion——For High-grade fish feed
The twin screw feed extruding technology has strong applicability and is not only suitable for extruding materials with high starch and fat content, but also can extrude and process a wider range of feed types.
It is precisely because twin screw extrusion has so many advantages that more and more aqua feed companies have begun to apply it to the processing of special aquatic feeds, pet feeds and other animal feeds. a major development direction.

RICHI MACHINERY
fish feed processing line technology
The fish feed processing line mainly includes the following procedures: raw material receiving and cleaning→crushing→mixing→→extrusion puffing→drying→cooling→spraying→pakacging. According to customer needs, we will customize production lines with different processes and equipment configurations.
The customization of processes will be affected by product type, raw material formula, plant structure, and investment budget. In addition to complete fish feed production lines, we can also provide individual processing systems and equipment, such as fish feed drying system, fish feed crushing system, fish feed packaging system, etc.
Silo system
Silos are mainly used to store raw materials in fish feed processing lines for easy management and use. For large-scale fish feed mill, silos are obviously very necessary. If it is a small-scale fish feed production line, you can decide whether to configure silos or configure small-scale silos according to your budget. We can provide customized silo services.
Receiving and cleaning
This is raw material intake system，consisting of tip hopper, mechanical conveyors, and elevators into buffer bins. Raw material such as soybean meal, corn, fish meal, and other grain or powder is sieved to remove any impurity and metals.
grinding system
Pre-grind systems are a size reduction process for raw materials that contain large particulates or grains by hammer mills. The second grinding process that grinds the formulation into finer powder with fineness up to 80 mesh 95% pass. This step becomes optional when making big extrudates with sizes of 2.5 mm and up.
mixing & batchingsystem
The first mixing system is used for dry material mixing to stabilize the following process.Other sources like pre-mix, liquid, oil, and fat are now added and mixed with raw material. Too much fat added here will affect the floatability, so a post-extrusion oil coater will be used to account for the total fat content required.
extrusion/pelleting
The mixer feeds down through a feed hopper into the feed screws which continuously feed the ingredients into a differential diameter conditioner (DDC). Water, steam, and/or oil are added in DDC, the retention time inside DDC is controlled by shaft speed. Two types of extrusion technology can be chosen: single screw extruder or twin screw extruder. A pellet mill can also be used to process fish sinking feed.
drying system
The fish feed dryer will lower the moisture content of the extrudate from 20% to 28% in the dryer inlet down to 10-12%. This drying is needed to lower the water activity and achieve shelf-stable moisture for the products. The system uses a belt dryer developed and manufactured by RICH itself, which can be used to dry various feeds, foods, vegetables and fruits.
coating & cooling
Oil coating is needed to increase the nutritional value and palatability of the feed. Depending on the fat content that needs to be added, a drum coater or a vacuum coater can be chosen. Cooler lowers the temperature of the hot pellets to +3°C of room temperature by utilizing ambient air.
screening & Packaging
All fish feed pellets will go through a vibration sieve to remove any irregular pellets or impurities before bagging. Weighing cell and bagging machines bag pellets with chosen quantity ex: 20 Kg. or 25 Kg. per bag and seal the bags for storage. Finished products can also be loaded by trucks or in container bags.

- Raw material warehouse and finished product warehouse: There are 1 livestock and poultry raw material warehouse, 1 livestock and poultry finished product warehouse and 1 finished aquatic feed warehouse. Based on the existing project, two new cylindrical warehouses are added at the same time.
fish feed processing line design
The production of 1.5t/h floating fish food processing line adopts primary mixing, primary crushing, secondary crushing and secondary batching to complete the processing of extruded pellet feed and powdery raw materials. The main floating fish feed manufacturing processes are as follows:
- Feeding—— Materials are fed in two ways: Large-size materials such as corn are directly fed into the feeding chamber by trucks for closed feeding; The bagged raw materials such as fish meal are fed by manual feeding (there are two feeding ports), and the dust generated by feeding is treated by two bag filter and then discharged through the 8m exhaust pipe.
- Crushing: The pulverization process is carried out in the basement. After the pulverization is completed, the materials are sent to the upper level by suction to carry out simple classification and batching of various raw and auxiliary materials. After the first mixing, it needs to be pulverized by an ultrafine pulverizer for the second time.
- Conditioning: It is mainly to continue to add trace additives and water to the mixed ingredients.
- Extrusion: The mixed feed is made into a specific granular form, and the material is cooked for a period of time under high temperature (temperature between 120 and 130℃), high humidity and high pressure, during which the physical and chemical properties of the material change drastically (Mainly starch gelatinization, protein denaturation), the instantaneous pressure dropped from the die hole, the water in the feed is converted from liquid to gas, and it is emitted from the feed to cause the material to expand.
- Drying and spraying: After the material is extruded by the twin screw extruder, it forms moist and soft particles, which are released from the floating fish extruder. Enter the dryer for drying, reduce the moisture, and then use the air pressure of the air compressor to spray the fish oil and other additives on the surface of the feed.
- Cooling & screening & packing: After the fish feed passes through the external spraying system, it needs to be cooled and screened, and finally packaged into products.

Fish feed ingredients and formulations
— Richi Machinery —
Fish feed raw materials usually include fish meal, soybean meal, corn, cottonseed meal, peanut cake, soybean cake, vegetable cake, minerals, vitamins, additives, etc.
The feed formula of extruded floating fish feed should be designed according to the nutritional needs of various fish species and the characteristics of fish feed processing line extruding. It should ensure that more than 20% of the starch raw materials are in the raw material ratio. The additives should be selected to withstand high temperature, especially vitamins, high-resistant varieties should be used or the dosage should be increased.
The ratio of raw materials, starch content and moisture content in the raw materials, extrusion temperature and pressure, and the rotation speed of the fish feed extruder machine all affect the quality of extrusion, especially the starch content and moisture content in the raw materials and the extrusion temperature. These factors should be comprehensively adjusted in fish food processing line to produce extruded floating feed with better quality.

Frequently Ask Question
FAQ of fish feed processing line
What is the grinding particle size and equipment required for fish feed processing line?
Generally, in the production of ordinary aquatic feed (such as carp, grass carp and silver carp, etc.), the particle size of raw materials before pelleting is 40-60 mesh, but when producing special aquatic feed (such as shrimp, eel, soft-shelled turtle, etc.), before pelleting, the crushing particle size of raw materials must reach 80 mesh or more.
The pulverized particle size of the raw material determines the surface area of the feed composition. The finer the particle size, the larger the surface area. It has a strong ability to absorb water in steam before extrusion, which is beneficial to conditioning and extruded pellet forming, so that the pellets have good water stability, and at the same time prolong the residence time of feed in aquatic animals.
In order to achieve the ideal crushing particle size, the common hammer mill used in the past is difficult to adapt to the crushing particle size required for the production of fish feed. Therefore, it is required to choose better crushing equipment. At present, the popular “drop-type” hammer mill pulverizer at home and abroad uses a unique design idea.
One fish feed pulverizer can form two kinds of hammer-screen gaps, which are suitable for ordinary pulverization and fine pulverization respectively. According to the requirements of fish feed production, the power consumption per ton of feed is low, which can reduce the fish feed processing line production cost.
If special aquatic feeds such as prawns, eels, soft-shelled turtles, and crabs are produced, the crushing particle size is required to be finer. In the past, the micro-grinding of aquatic feeds often used a secondary grinding process, that is, coarse grinding and then micro-grinding. The second-step micro-grinding generally used a micro-grinder and a micro-classifier to achieve the required grinding particle size.
This fish feed processing line process occupies a large area, and the size of the crushing size needs to be achieved by replacing the sieve plates with different apertures and adjusting the air volume of the system, and it is easy to cause the temperature of the crushed material to rise sharply, the nutrients are destroyed, and the phenomenon of sieve blocking often occurs, resulting in equipment wear and high energy consumption and other issues.
If a sieveless pulverizer can be used, the influence of the sieve plate can be eliminated, and the pulverizer with its own classifier can be omitted. The return material treatment has low material temperature, low power consumption, high output, and the thickness can be adjusted according to needs, there is no need to separately support the micro-classification machine.
Vertical shaft micro-grinder is a micro-grinding equipment that integrates grinding, screening and separation, which can meet the requirements of grinding particle size for producing special aquatic feed.
Since the crushing chamber and the grading chamber are located in the same body, the equipment can simultaneously complete the processes of crushing, air screening, separation and re-crushing, which can effectively prevent over crushing.
Built-in high-precision micron-level wind classification, the crushing particle size can reach 60-200 mesh, and can be adjusted arbitrarily as needed. The temperature rise of the crushed material is low, especially suitable for the crushing of heat-sensitive materials.
The whole fish feed processing line process has compact structure, small footprint, low power consumption per ton of material, uniform particle size and high output after crushing. It is an ideal micro-grinding equipment for producing special aquatic feed.
What are the characteristics of the mixing process of the fish feed processing line and what equipment is needed?
In addition to the raw material particle size requirements for aquatic feed, attention should also be paid to the selection of mixing process and feed mixing machine, because the performance of the mixer and the effect of use directly affect the production efficiency and product quality of the fish feed processing line. Most of the aquatic feed processing adopts the secondary mixing process.
Since the second crushing is carried out after batching and mixing, and the crushed materials are conveyed by wind (or other conveying methods), the possibility of classification of the materials increases, so the materials are granulated. Mixing should be added again before, and trace additives or liquid additives should be added during the second mixing.
In order to ensure product quality, the CV value of the coefficient of variation of the mixing uniformity of the powder before extrusion should be less than 7%.
In general, a horizontal ribbon mixer can be used for the first mixing, and a double-shaft paddle high-efficiency mixer must be used for the second mixing. The mixing uniformity coefficient of variation CV of the mixer is less than or equal to 5%.
In order to ensure that the mixing time does not exceed the pulverizing time, and can be equal to or similar to the batching cycle of the batching scale, the selected fish feed mixer machine is required to mix the materials evenly in a relatively short period of time.
The double-shaft paddle high-efficiency mixer uses a new mixing mechanism to achieve the required mixing uniformity. The coefficient of variation of the mixing uniformity is CV≤5%, and the best can reach 3%. The mixing time of each batch is 30-120s, which is significantly shortened. Mixing cycles to improve production efficiency.
The mixing process of the equipment is mild, without segregation, and the material is discharged quickly and without residue. The machine is equipped with a liquid addition tube, which can add oil and other liquids.
What are the characteristics of the extrusion process of the fish feed processing line and what equipment is needed?
Feed extruding technology is mainly used in the production of aquatic floating fish feed, pet feed and other animal feed.
The conversion rate of extruded feed is higher than that of pelleted feed, mainly because the raw materials are processed at high temperature and high pressure in the extrusion process, starch gelatinization and protein denaturation are more sufficient, which can effectively prevent animal digestive tract diseases and improve the digestion and absorption of feeding animals. Generally, it can improve the digestion and absorption rate by 10% to 35%.
The feed extruding technology of floating fish feed processing line has strong applicability and is not only suitable for extruding materials with high starch and fat content, but also can extrude a wider range of feed resources.
It is precisely because of the advantages of puffing that more and more floating fish feed production lines have begun to apply them to the processing of special aquatic feeds, pet feeds and other animal feeds. In many countries, it has been used on a large scale, and it will definitely become a major development direction of the entire feed industry.
At present, the extruder selected by the fish feed line is mainly a twin-screw extruder. The floating fish feed extruder machine consists of a feeding system, a transmission system, an extrusion and kneading system, a discharging die and an electric control system.
Since puffing has many advantages, the application of puffing technology in fish feed processing line has gradually increased, and will be favored by more feed manufacturers. The extruding process can be used to produce floating, sinking, slow sinking or semi-moist aquafeed on demand.
The feed is processed by extrusion, which reduces bacterial content and improves storage stability. To produce high-quality feeds required by the majority of farmers, especially aquatic feeds and special feeds of different varieties, each floating fish feed processing unit and floating fish feed enterprise should choose the appropriate fish food processing machine according to its own product requirements.
