Floating Pellet Mill Introduction
Floating pellet mill regard as advanced single screw extruder by belt drive has won lots of popularity and is widely accepted. The extrusion of feedstocks serve the purpose of sterilization and ripening under high temperature and high pressure. It generally includes dry type and wet type. Pellets produced by this machine are solid, water resistant and damp resistant.

Floating Pellet Mill Characteristics
1.Equipped with impeller feeder, advanced frequency convertor and magnetic device for uniform feeding and reliable operating.
2.The Reasonable combination of practical spindle bearing ensures reliable and safe operation.
3.Adjustable pellets lengths are made through changing various dies.
4.The finished pellets can keep floating for 3-15 hours without pollution to water.
5.Dry type and wet type fish feed machine for your choice.The wet type machine needs a boiler to make steam which can conduct steam to the conditioner and ripen the raw material in advance. The output is higher than the dry type machine in the case of the same power. So wet type machine is more suitable for large scale production.

Floating Pellet Mill Working Principle
Extrusion can be defined as a technological process namely, forcing feed raw material in one or more of the following process conditions (such as mixing, heating, cutting, etc.) flow through the die, make material forming or eruption gasification. Making feedstocks from loose state into a continuous shaped dough, the resulting paste is extruded through holes in a metal plate. The diameter of the holes sets the diameter of the pellets, which can range from various different sizes.

Common Raw Material for Making Nutritional Fish Feed
☆ Rice Dust: contain about 10-14% of protein and also contain vitamin B1, B2, B6 and small quantity of enzyme.
☆ Mustard Cake: Mix maximum 40% of cake in the fish feed. But don’t use dry cake more than 20%. Mustard cake contain 30-32% protein. It also contain a high rate of fat.
☆ Wheat Chaff: contain fiber, control many types of fish diseases.
☆ Maize: contain protein, carbohydrate, fat, vitamin A and E.

☆ Cotton Seeds: contain about 54% protein. It is a better ingredients for supplementary fish feed.
☆ Fish Powder: easily digestible to fish. Fishmeal contain about 55-60% protein.
☆ Bone Powder: very necessary for building fish-bone. The ratio of calcium and magnesium in the bone dust is 2 : 1.
☆ Innards : very suitable and ideal feed for catfish. It contain 52% protein.
