The tips to make floating fish feed

In recent decades, the use of floating fish feed has increased significantly, because it is a high-quality environmental fish feed, with good water stability, good floating, easy digestion, little pollution, zero waste of raw materials, high energy characteristics, has become an irresistible trend in the development of aquaculture feed industry.

Main Ingredients Of Fish Feed
Fish feed requires certain nutrients that will help the grower optimize growth and increase the profits of his fish farming business. Here are four categories of nutrients, in order of importance, that are essential in any feed formulation.

Protein: These nutrients are needed to build body tissue and replace damaged tissue. It contains physiological molecules such as hormones and enzymes. It can be obtained from plants and animals.
Energy (carbohydrates): This nutrient provides the energy the fish need. Cereal and cassava grains are the main sources of this nutrient.
Vitamins and minerals: Growth, health and bodily processes are all controlled by these nutrients.
Floating fish feed machine is the best choice for homemade fish feed and fish farms. With a floating fish feed extruder, you can use cheap local raw materials to produce high-quality feed and reduce feed costs.

How To Produce Floating Fish Feed
After selecting the right formula, the next key is to master the production process of floating fish feed. And you can come to see the fish feed production line.

Mixing & grinding: The main raw materials of floating fish feed should be crushed and mixed before being made into pellets, so the production of floating fish feed needs to use a fish feed mixer and a fish feed mill, the purpose is to produce high quality floating fish feed suitable for fish digestion and with good water stability. After weighing the raw materials according to the weight ratio in the formula, the fish farmers grind the raw materials into 60-100 mesh by using the drop type fish feed mill, and then add other ingredients into the fish feed mixer for uniform mixing. Grinding helps increase the exposed surface area of the raw material, improves the uniformity of the mix, and makes the feed more digestible, which is very important for small-eating animals like fish.

Pelleting & Extruding: In the extrusion process, the raw material produces heat through the screw, the shear plate and the inner wall of the expansion chamber under the action of mechanical energy. The material is actually fused under high temperature and pressure and extruded from the fish feed extruder. The volume expands due to the sudden decrease of pressure. Customers can choose extruder with different die hole sizes according to their actual needs, because Fan Wei can provide fish feed extruder ranging from 1.5 mm to 10 mm, which is suitable for different growth needs of fish at various growth stages.

Drying & Cooling: When the planktonic fish feed leaves the granulation mold, it must be the granule with high moisture content. In the case of sticky particles, farmers need specialized and improved drying equipment after they are able to make floating feed. After drying and cooling, feed can be stored in a dry ventilated chamber to maintain quality. The use of fish feed dryers/coolers makes feed easier to store, which also makes drying/cooling an important part of feed processing.
