Fish Feed Pellet Machine | Dry/Wet Type Floating/Sinking Aquafeed Equipment

1. Overview

As intensive aquaculture evolves, the demand for high-quality, species-specific fish feed has soared—whether floating pellets for surface-feeding fish or sinking pellets for bottom-dwellers. We are a professional manufacturer specializing in fish feed pellet machines, offering two core models: Dry Type Fish Feed Pellet Machine and Wet Type Fish Feed Pellet Machine.

Our equipment is engineered to produce nutritious, easy-to-digest pellets with diameters ranging from 1-15mm, catering not only to fish and shrimp feed but also to pet food (for dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, foxes, etc.). It has become the preferred choice for small-to-medium feed factories, aquaculture farms, and pet food producers.

2. Product Overview

Our fish feed pellet machines adopt advanced puffing technology, transforming grain by-products, soybean meal, fish meal, and other raw materials into high-quality pellets. Key highlights include:

  • Dual Pellet Types: Customize production of floating fish feed (floats for over 12 hours, ideal for tilapia, carp) or sinking fish feed (suitable for catfish, shrimp).
  • Wide Applicability: Pellet diameter adjustable from 1-15mm, matching the feeding habits of different aquatic species (fry to adult fish) and pets.
  • Nutritional Retention: Puffing technology preserves raw material nutrients while improving digestibility, boosting feed conversion rates for aquaculture and pet breeding.

3. Core Selection Guide: Dry Type vs. Wet Type

The fundamental difference between the two models lies in whether they require a steam conditioner and boiler—directly impacting 产能,pellet quality, and applicable scenarios. Below is a detailed comparison to help you choose the most cost-effective solution:

Comparison DimensionDry Type Fish Feed Pellet MachineWet Type Fish Feed Pellet Machine
Key StructureNo conditioner; no steam boiler requiredEquipped with a special conditioner, needs to connect to a steam boiler
Production CapacityLower (0.12-2.0T/h)Higher (0.18-5.0T/h)
Pellet QualitySmooth surface; good floating performanceExtra-smooth surface, higher density, easier to digest
Operation ComplexitySimple (no boiler installation/maintenance)Slightly complex (requires steam boiler management)
Lubrication DemandModerateLow (conditioner reduces friction between screw and chamber)
Applicable UsersSmall feed factories, home use, small aquaculture farmsMedium-sized feed factories, intensive aquaculture bases

3.1 Dry Type Fish Feed Pellet Machine: Simple & Cost-Saving

Core Features

  • Plug-and-Play Convenience: Raw materials enter the pressing chamber directly; high pressure, fast screw propulsion, and in-built high temperature achieve puffing—no need for additional steam boilers, simplifying installation and operation.
  • Easy Maintenance: Modular structure with fewer components, making daily cleaning and wear-part replacement (screws, cutters) straightforward, even for users without professional training.
  • Cost-Effective: Eliminates boiler purchase and steam supply costs, lowering initial investment—ideal for small-scale producers with limited budgets.

3.2 Wet Type Fish Feed Pellet Machine: High-Quality & High-Capacity

Core Features

  • Steam Conditioning for Superior Pellets: The conditioner mixes raw materials with high-temperature steam (130-150℃) to fully cook and gelatinize starch, resulting in pellets that are more palatable, easier to digest, and more stable in water.
  • Higher Productivity: Optimized screw design and steam-assisted puffing boost 产能 by 30%-50% compared to dry-type models of the same size (e.g., DSP60 wet type: 0.18-0.20T/h vs. dry type: 0.12-0.15T/h).
  • Reduced Wear: Steam lubricates the screw shaft and pressing chamber, lowering friction and extending the service life of core components.
  • Scalable for Medium-Scale Production: Meets the continuous output needs of medium-sized feed factories, supporting standardized aquafeed production.

4. Why Choose Our Fish Feed Pellet Machine?

4.1 Versatile & Multi-Purpose

Beyond fish and shrimp feed, it produces high-quality pellets for pets (dogs, cats, birds) and special livestock (rabbits, foxes)—one machine for multiple uses, maximizing equipment value.

4.2 Premium Pellet Performance

Floating pellets produced by our machines maintain buoyancy for over 12 hours, reducing nutrient leaching in water and minimizing feed waste. The smooth surface prevents dust loss during transportation.

4.3 Strong Adaptability

Adjustable pellet diameter (1-15mm) and puffing intensity allow customization for different growth stages (e.g., 1-2mm for fry, 8-15mm for adult fish) and feeding habits (floating/sinking).

4.4 Easy Operation & Low Upkeep

Both dry and wet types feature user-friendly control panels. Routine maintenance only requires periodic inspection of screws, cutters, and lubrication—no complex technical expertise needed.
