Fish Feed Pellet Machine Structure and Components
Feeding System
Our precision feeding system ensures uniform and stable material flow, with electromagnetic speed control or frequency converter to adjust feeding quantity based on extrusion motor load.
Extrusion Chamber
The heart of the fish feed pellet machine, featuring segmented screw and barrel design for adjustable compression to meet different feed requirements and expansion characteristics.
Cutting Mechanism
Precision rotary cutters ensure uniform pellet length, with adjustable speed control to customize pellet size according to fish species and growth stage requirements.
How Our Fish Feed Pellet Machine Works
- Material Feeding: Raw materials enter the extrusion chamber through the controlled feeding system.
- Compression: As materials move through the gradually narrowing chamber, pressure increases while creating friction and heat.
- Gelatinization: Starch components gelatinize under heat and pressure, creating a binding matrix.
- Extrusion: The material is forced through die holes at 3.0-10MPa pressure and 120-150°C temperature.
- Expansion: Upon exiting to atmospheric pressure, rapid moisture evaporation causes expansion.
- Cutting: Rotary cutters slice the extruded material into uniform pellets.
- Cooling: Pellets cool and solidify, locking in their expanded structure.

Feed Pellet Types
Floating Feed Pellets
Our fish feed pellet machine produces high-quality floating pellets that remain on the water surface for extended periods. This allows for easy monitoring of feeding activity and prevents waste accumulation at the pond bottom.
Sinking Feed Pellets
For bottom-feeding species, our machines produce dense, sinking pellets that quickly descend to the pond bottom while maintaining their structural integrity and nutritional value.
Slow-Sinking Feed Pellets
Our advanced extrusion technology allows for the production of slow-sinking pellets with controlled descent rates, ideal for mid-water feeding species and mixed aquaculture environments.
Micro Pellets for Fry
Specialized micro-pellet production capabilities for fish fry and fingerlings, with pellet sizes as small as 0.8mm while maintaining nutritional integrity and appropriate density.
