Feed Pellets for Pig Breeding

Pellet feed first appeared in Europe, and in recent years, it has occupied the majority of the feed markets in America, Japan and Germany etc. The average level of our world in feed pellets using is about 60%. Nowadays, pellet feed has been widely used for raising of piglets, weaned pigs, pigs, chickens, cattle, sheep, fish and other livestock. 

Superiorities of Feed Pellets


  •  Convenient for animal digestion and absorption, improve the utilization efficiency of feed.
  • Improve nutrition value and palatability of the feed.
  • Convenient for storage, packaging and transportation.
  • Disinfection and sterilization.
  • Avoiding livestock and poultry picky about food, and reducing feed waste.



Sinking Fish Feed Extrusion Technology


Different aquatic animals have different feeding characteristics. Take river crab and other benthonic animals for example, they are used to seek food underwater; and they often chew with slower speed. Too hard or too firm feed pellets are not suitable for them. It also should to reduce the small fragments waste during their feeding process. So, the sinking extruded feed are beneficial for them. The sinking extruded feed has many advantages: easy to soften after absorbing water, suitable for chewing, decreasing the small fragments waste, decreasing the water pollution, long water resistant time and high aging degrees.

Twin screw wet extruders are widely used in extruded feed processing. The material extrusion situation is affected by many factors. It mainly connects with the conditioning conditions, operation of the extruder and the material character. The extrusion feed buoyancy can be controlled by changing the extrusion conditions.

1.The conditioning effect is important in processing sinking extruded feed. During the process, it needs to decrease the extrusion effect and increase the conditioning effect. Moisture adding,  steam adding and enough conditioning time can make the raw materials soften and cure fully. Thus the materials can achieve better plasticity under weaker conditions in the extrusion chamber. The materials can cure continually and won’t generate bigger puffing degree. We can get the sinking extruded feed at last. Fully conditioning can improve the feed digestibility, water resistance ability and stability.

2.Processing sinking extruded feed pellets should adopts lower screw rotation speed. It can provides the effect of shear and squeeze and won’t generate over-high pressure. At last, the materials through the die holes won’t be over-extruded.

3.Chamber temperature is another important factor for material energy control. In the chamber feeding section, it’s no need to heat to ensure good delivery performance. In fusion section, you must heat to ensure the chamber temperature reach 120~150℃. It can promote the material’s curing degree and plasticity. In the end homogenize section, the chamber temperature is cooled to 40~50℃. It can decrease the cured material’s energy and the supersaturation of the moisture in materials, thus the materials can be extruded out the die holes and not over-extruded.

4.Sinking feed extrusion degree is lower than 1.3 and floating feed can achieve higher than 2-3. The pressure inside the chamber are connected with the screw configuration, material character, porosity of the die and feeding quantity. The die porosity affects the pressure of the materials inside the chamber. If the die has higher porosity, the discharging flow is bigger. We can change the quantity of die holes according to our requirements to get suitable sinking extruded feed.

Traditional hard pelleted feed has low curing degree and sinking extruded fish feed doesn’t have the problem. Extruded feed has high stability in water and no need to add binder. Extruded feeds are widely used in aquaculture instead of hard feed pellets.

Aquatic Feed Pellet Mill


With the development of aquaculture industry, the requirement of aquatic feed is increasing. Aquatic feed ring die pellet mill is an ideal pelletizing machine for large-scale high quality aquatic feed pellets. The finished feed pellets have a smooth surface and easy to digest for fish and shrimps. Based on advanced technology and outstanding advantages, aquatic feed pellet mill is widely adopted in aquaculture.


The SZLH series ring die aquatic feed pellet mill adopts three-layer jacket conditioner, the raw materials can be fully cooked to meet special needs and ensure the quality of final aquatic feed. Its capacity can be improved about 20% compared to the belt transmission for the use of high precision gear transmission. The feeding device adopts frequency conversion speed regulating motor to guarantee the particles quality. The pellet mill is equipped with overload protection and electrical control system to ensure normal operation. Then how does the aquatic feed pellet mill work?

Aquatic Feed Pelletizing Process
Pellet mill is the core part of a whole feed pellet production line. Meanwhile, there are also other important equipment need to adopt, like hammer mill, mixer, pellet cooling and packing machine. The main process includes: materials crushing, grain powder mixing, pelletizing, cooling and screening, packaging. The whole process is highly automatically controlled.

Ultra Fine Feed Hammer Mill


SWFL series ultra fine feed hammer mill is a new-fashioned superfine grinding equipment. The ultra fine feed hammer mills can be used in various large, medium or small sized feed processing factories. It can grind all coarse materials such as corn, broomcorn, wheat and rice etc. The products can be further processed as animal feed, especially suitable for shrimp, turtle, eel and other little animals.
Remarkable Features of Ultra Fine Feed Hammer Mill
  • Widely used in feed, food, chemical industry, building materials, pharmaceutical and other industries, especially for finely grinding of grain powders for making aquatic feed pellets.
  • Built-in high precision micro wind grading, grinding fineness of 80-200 mesh, and can be arbitrary regulated.
  • Low power consumption, high capacity, stable performance and uniform size of finished products. 
  • Two types: split type and integral type can be selected to meet different customers requirements.

Fish Feed Pellet Machine / Fish Feed Pellet Mill / Fish Feed Extruder


Fish Feed Pellet Machine Introduction
Amisy fish feed pellet machines have two types: dry type fish feed pellet machine and wet type fish feed pellet machine. According to your requirement, you can choose to produce floating fish feed pellets or sinking feed pellets. Amisy feed pellet extruder can produce animal feed pellets with diameter from 1-15mm, applicable to produce pet food, fish feed pellets, shrimp feed and other animal feed pellets.

Dry Type or Wet Type, Which Fish Feed Pellet Machine is Suitable For You?
The highlight difference between the two type puffing feed pellet machines are whether equipped with conditioner which is used to connect steam boiler, that is also to say, wet type need to install a steam boiler, while the dry type one doesn't need it. The other difference is the capacity, take DSP60 for example, the capacity of dry type fish feed pellet machine is 0.12-0.15t/h, while the wet one is of 0.18-0.20 t/h. So considering the two factors, you'd better choose the most cost-effective machine. If you have any other question, please chat on-line, leave us a message or send email.
