There are three main factors that affect the production of good fish feed, namely: raw materials, machines and precautions for machine use. Good raw materials can ensure that the fish feed produced is nutritionally balanced and has a perfect shape. A good machine can directly affect the production of fish feed pellets. When using the machine, strictly following the usage guidelines can effectively ensure the production of fish feed pellets and extend the service life of the machine.

What a successfully made fish feed pellet looks like

• Uniform size and shape: Pellets are usually round and uniform in size. This ensures that fish can easily consume feed without wasting or choking.

• Smooth surface: Pellets should have a smooth surface, which helps prevent fish from eating and digesting.

Good expansion and long-term floating on the water surface: Pellets floating on the water surface allow fish to feed at the water surface and reduce waste.

Nutrient-rich: Pellets should be formulated with the right nutritional ingredients to support fish growth and health. This includes essential proteins, vitamins and minerals.

There are three points here for making good fish feed

• First point is raw materials and formula. To make good fish feed, you need the right raw materials. And the main raw materials for fish feed are, corn meal or corn powder, soybean meal, etc. And the formula, the ratio of various raw materials. Different ratios will directly affect the effect of feed production. Fish feed formula must need to have a certain content of starch to ensure that the fish feed floating. Of course, this ration can also be customized according to your actual situation as well as the raw materials.

• The second point is the machine. LIMA focus on feed machinery manufacturing for many years, summed up the fish feed production process. There are four essential steps, crusher, mixer, fish feed extruder machine and dryer.
  • Grinder, all the raw materials are crushed into qualified powder. If the raw materials are not crushed, too rough raw materials will clog the fish feed pellet machine. And also will affect the final effect of fish feed production.
  • Mixer, will be crushed a variety of raw materials and water for full mixing. Thoroughly mixing the raw materials will help the fish feed production effect。
  • Fish feed pellet machine is the main machine in the whole fish feed making. We use it to make fish feed pellets. And a good quality fish feed pellet mill directly affects the fish feed pellets made.
  • Dryer, fish feed production is completed. Due to the production of fish feed raw materials we added a certain percentage of water. So the fish feed particles produced still contain water. In order to facilitate the packaging and preservation. It is necessary to carry out the drying, a dryer is very necessary!

• As a final point, there are some things need to attention when it comes to production:
  • 1. Need to make sure your voltage is stable and affordable to run our fish feed extruder. For example, the main motor voltage of our LM40 model fish feed extruder machine is 5.5kw. Then you need to make sure that the voltage is affordable and stable when you use it. So that the machine can run stably.
  • 2. Pay attention to the correct operation. For example, before running the machine, you need to adjust the cutter.
  • 3. Pay attention to maintenance. Routine maintenance can ensure the production effect of the machine and extend the service life of the machine. You need to clean the machine after each use to remove the raw materials left in the machine.
