Sinking Fish Feed Pellet Mill

The SZLH250 sinking fish feed pellet mill mainly produces hard pellet feed, which is suitable for benthic fish. In the granulation process of sinking fish feed processing, the pellet mill is the most important production equipment.

The general sinking fish pelleting mill is mainly composed of a speed-adjusting feeding system, a stirring and tempering system, a granulating system, a transmission system, and a security system. The sunken fish feed pellet machine designed and manufactured by RICHI adopts two-layer or three-layer conditioner.

The ring die compression ratio of sinking fish feed is generally greater than that of livestock and poultry feed, and a high ring die compression ratio is conducive to the stability of the feed in water. In addition, a high compression ratio means a long extrusion time, a large temperature rise of the material, dark color, smooth particles, low powder rate, and low output per unit time.

It is best not to break the aquatic pellet feed. After crushing, the surface of the pellets is rough, which is easy to absorb water and collapse. The small pellets directly pressed have a smooth appearance and are not easily corroded by water, which improves the stability of the pellets in water.

FAQs about sinking fish feed production

How to determine the particle size of fish feed?

The diameter of the pellet feed must match the size of the caliber of the cultured fish, so that it is beneficial for the fish to eat. If the diameter is too large, it is difficult for fish to swallow, and the feed can only be eaten after it is soaked soft, which not only increases the loss of water-soluble feed components, but also causes water pollution; if the particle size is too small, fish must feed for many times In order to meet the needs, because the feeding time is prolonged, it will not only increase the waste of feed, but also increase the consumption of energy.

For pellet feed with too small particle size, it is necessary to consider reducing energy consumption in the production process and also consider the constraints of processing technology. Therefore, crumbled feed can be used. That is to say, after the large pellet feed is crumbled, it is sieved into many crumbs or coarse chips of different sizes by standards of different sizes, so as to meet the different needs of raising various sizes of young, immature, juvenile, and adult fish.

The pellet length is generally 1.5 to 2.0 times the particle diameter. Different cultured species of fish have different requirements for the particle size of pellet feed at different development and growth stages.

Working principle of fish feed pellet machine

RICHI sinking feed pellet mill adopts multi-stage tempering technology. Multi-stage conditioning improves the conditioning effect by prolonging the conditioning time, and the degree of starch gelatinization can reach 40% to 60%.

After granulation, curing and tempering is to keep the freshly pressed granules (about 80-85℃) warm, and let the hot granules last for a certain period of time in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment, so that the starch in the granulated feed is fully gelatinized and the protein is fully denatured. . At the same time, the cracks generated in the early stage are pasted again to improve the durability of the feed to meet the special requirements of aquatic feed.

The most important and vulnerable part of the sinking fish feed pellet mill is the ring die. The ring die is driven by a motor to rotate. There are 2 built-in pressure rollers. The pressure rollers do not revolve. The rotation of the ring die causes friction with the material to form a rotation. During the relative movement with the pressure roller, according to the force difference, the ring die forms 4 areas:

• ① In the feeding area, the material is loose and attached to the inner ring of the ring die by centrifugal force;
• ②In the compaction area, the material is squeezed by the roller, the powder particles move relative to each other, and the gap decreases;
• ③In the extrusion zone, the material undergoes plastic and elastic deformation, and the powder particles are connected, compressed to ≈1.3g/cm³;
• ④In the forming area, the material fills the die hole and becomes columnar, and the friction heats up. The frictional temperature rise of the pressing roller reaches about 100 ℃, and the temperature of the material rises for a short time under the friction force and shear force, which is 5-10 ℃ higher than that after conditioning.

Core technology of fish feed pellet machine – multi-stage tempering

This conditioning method is developed on the basis of ordinary conditioning, mainly to improve the conditioning effect by prolonging the conditioning time under the condition of maintaining a certain amount of moisture.

That is, two or three double-jacketed conditioners are used in an orderly combination to prolong the conditioning time of the powder in the conditioner. At the same time, steam is introduced into the jacket to heat the powder, increasing the temperature of the powder, increasing the starch gelatinization rate and protein denaturation degree of the powder, and strengthening the cohesive force inside the granules. This not only improves the stability of the pellets in water, but also improves the digestibility of the feed. Most aqua feed mills use this method.

But as far as each set of equipment of each specific sinking fish feed pellet mill manufacturer is concerned, they each have their own particularities. For conditioner angle, almost every conditioner is installed horizontally. Add a device behind the conditioner that can raise the conditioner, and use flexible feeding and discharge ports to achieve almost arbitrary adjustment of the residence time.

Under normal operating conditions, conditioning begins with the conditioner installed horizontally. Once stable operating conditions are obtained, the conditioner can be tilted to extend the residence time to the desired level.

As for the angle adjustment of the paddle, the front 1/3 of the paddle is at an angle of 45 degrees to the shaft, and the rear 2/3 of the paddle is properly adjusted. During the residence time in the tempering chamber, the The material in the rear section of the conditioning chamber can be adjusted arbitrarily.

Long-term tempering generally adopts the method of increasing the tempering time to achieve the purpose of strengthening the tempering. With the continuous improvement of feed quality requirements and the rapid development of special aquaculture, conditioning methods such as multi-stage conditioning, aging conditioning after granulation, and high-pressure ring gap expansion conditioning have emerged.
