• Rated Output: ~180 – 220 kg per hour
  (Actual output depends on raw material mix, moisture, and pellet size)

• Feed Type: Sinking feed / Semi-floating feed

A floating fish feed making machine, also known as a fish feed extruder, produces high-quality pellets that float on the water's surface for an extended period. This is beneficial for fish farmers because it allows them to observe feeding behavior and prevents feed from sinking and contributing to water pollution. 

50 kg/hr Fish Feed Making Machine — Overview
A 50-kg fish feed making machine is a small- to medium-scale extruder or pelletizer used for producing floating or sinking fish feed pellets for catfish, tilapia, etc.

1. Typical Capacity
50 kg per hour (some models do 40–60 kg/h)

Suitable for small farms, SMEs, or local feed production

A Fish Feed Making Plant is a facility designed to produce nutritionally balanced feed for aquaculture species like tilapia, catfish, carp, shrimp, and ornamental fish.

Here’s a clear and practical overview:

A fish feed making machine is a specialized facility that produces commercially available, balanced nutrition for farmed fish. The main goal is to create high-quality, digestible, and environmentally stable feed that promotes fish growth, reduces waste, and ensures food safety in the aquaculture industry.
 
Key Components and Processes
 

Raw Material Handling: Ingredients like fishmeal, vegetable proteins, and binders are loaded and undergo quality checks to prevent contamination.

Grinding and Mixing: Raw materials are ground to a consistent size and then mixed thoroughly to create a homogeneous feed mixture.

Extrusion: A fish feed extruder cooks the mixture under heat and pressure, forcing it through a die to form pellets. This process is crucial for creating floating or sinking feeds.

Pelletizing: A die with specific hole sizes determines the diameter of the pellets. The mixture is then cut to the desired length to create uniform pellets.

Drying and Coating: The extruded pellets are dried to a stable form. Afterward, oils, vitamins, and other nutrients may be sprayed onto their surface to enhance nutritional value.

A 1-2 T/H fish feed plant is a medium-scale industrial production line capable of producing 1 to 2 tons of fish feed pellets per hour — roughly 8 – 16 tons per day (assuming a single 8-hour shift). These plants use extrusion or pelleting technology with complete automation from raw material feeding → grinding → mixing → extrusion/pelleting → drying/cooling → packing.

Typical types of feed produced include:
�� Floating fish feed (best for carp, catfish, tilapia)
�� Sinking feed (used for salmon, trout & other species)
�� Shrimp & aqua feed varieties

The equipment & plant cost for a 1 – 2 ton/hr fish feed production line varies widely depending on level of automation, types of feed, and quality of machinery. Common industry reference ranges are:

Here’s what to expect for a rotary / drum drying system designed for fish feed (indicative values from rotary dryers commonly used in feed and pellet drying):

Operating Principle:
Rotary dryers have a rotating inclined drum with internal lifting flights that shower material in a stream of hot air. They can be direct (hot air passes through material) or indirect (heated surface contact).

Capacity:
• Typical ranges from ~40–600 kg/hr depending on model and heat source.

Heating Source:
• Steam, electric, diesel, gas, or direct hot air heaters (steam heating common in industrial dryers).

Materials:
• Drum and body: stainless steel (SUS304/316) or carbon steel.

Drive & Controls:
• Motor drives the drum rotation.
• Control Panel often includes VFD / temperature control for moisture/thermal regulation.

Moisture Reduction:
• Can typically reduce moisture to required storage levels (often down to ~8–12% for fish feed). 

Capacity:
• Typical ranges from ~40–50 kg/hr depending on model and heat source.

Heating Source:
• Steam, electric, (steam heating common in industrial dryers).

Materials:
• Drum and body: stainless steel (SUS304/316) or carbon steel.

Drive & Controls:
• Motor drives the drum rotation.
• Control Panel often includes VFD / temperature control for moisture/thermal regulation.

A fully automatic fish feed plant incorporates automation in key steps such as raw material feeding, grinding, mixing, extrusion, drying/cooling, and discharging final pellets. These systems typically use PLC/controls to regulate conveyor speeds, temperature (for extruders and dryers), and pellet quality, reducing labour and improving throughput.

46% soya doc, or soybean de-oiled cake, is a high-protein byproduct of the soybean oil extraction process. It is most commonly used as a nutritional, plant-based ingredient in animal feed for livestock, poultry, and aquaculture. The "46%" refers to its crude protein content on an as-fed basis.

A hammer mill is a key machine in fish feed production — it crushes and grinds raw ingredients (corn, rice bran, soybean meal, fish meal, etc.) into a fine, uniform powder before mixing and pelletizing. This is essential for high quality feed pellets, especially for floating or sinking fish feed.

• Raw materials are fed into a chamber where high-speed rotating hammers impact and break them down.

• The crushed material passes through a screen mesh, controlling particle size.

• Fine powder then moves to the mixer → pellet mill → dryer/cooler in the plant.

✔️ Ensures uniform particle size (important for pellet quality)
✔️ Improves digestibility and nutrient availability
✔️ Increases feed mill efficiency
✔️ Reduces energy usage by better preparation of raw feed before pelleting

How it Works:

• Buckets are fixed on a continuous belt or chain. They scoop material from a boot at the bottom, lift it vertically, then discharge at the top using centrifugal force or gravity.

Material & Build Options:

• Mild steel – Common, affordable, good for general grain and feed handling.

• Stainless steel / food-grade buckets – Better for feed pellets, powders, or food applications to prevent contamination.

Capacity & Height:

• Capacities range from small farm levels (hundreds of kg/h) to large industrial levels (5–50 tph or more) depending on size of buckets, speed, and head height.

• Can be custom built to required lifting height (typically up to 30 m or more).

Drive & Power:

• Motors typically range from fractional HP for small units to several kW for large industrial elevators with high lift heights.

✅ Vertical movement of feed pellets, flour, powders and granules
✅ Moving material into silos, mixers, extruders, dryers and packing units
✅ Replacing manual lifting to reduce labour and improve workflow
✅ Integrating in automated feed plant lines

Screw conveyor is better machine for transferring a raw material a point to b point

Corn DDGS (Dried Distillers Grains with Solubles) is a nutrient-rich byproduct of corn-to-ethanol production, valued as a cost-effective, high-protein, high-energy feed for livestock, poultry, and fish, offering essential amino acids, fiber, and minerals, and promoting sustainability by utilizing a waste product
