Sinking Fish Feed Production Line
The Shandong Arrow sinking aquatic feed production line is an automated solution designed to meet the specific needs of farming bottom-dwelling and other aquatic species such as fish, shrimp, and crabs. It integrates core processes—including raw material storage, grinding, mixing, extrusion, drying, cooling, coating, and packaging—to achieve continuous production from raw materials to finished feed. Utilizing professional twin-screw extrusion technology, the system allows for the flexible adjustment of processing parameters based on specific formulas, pellet sizes, and sinking performance requirements, resulting in sinking aquatic feed characterized by uniform particle size, stable structure, and excellent palatability.

Introduction to the Process Flow
1. Raw Material Intake System: Customizable to requirements; supports delivery via truck, unloading from bulk bags, or manual feeding.
2. Batching System: Customizable based on raw material characteristics and formula requirements; features precise PLC control, eliminating the need for manual on-site operation.
3. Mixing System: Designed for dry materials; ensures high uniformity (variation <5%) and excellent sealing to prevent leakage. Features a large bottom-opening discharge gate for rapid, residue-free unloading.
4. Pulverizing System: Utilizes an ultra-fine pulverizer suitable for processing shrimp feed, small-particle extruded feed, various aquatic feeds, and pet food ingredients. Employs an innovative screenless design with air classification and a unique grinding disc configuration to achieve high output and efficiency. Produces uniform, stable particle sizes while maintaining low material temperatures during processing, effectively preserving raw material quality.
5. Extrusion System: A twin-screw extruder that uses screw rotation and compression to subject raw materials to shearing, mixing, and cooking under high-temperature, high-pressure conditions. Precision shaping via specialized dies allows for controlled product specifications and forms. Equipped with a high-speed, high-torque gearbox, the system offers high load-bearing capacity, low noise, and superior processing efficiency, meeting the demands of large-scale feed production.
6. Drying System: Features a high-efficiency circulating dryer utilizing advanced bidirectional cross-flow hot air technology to effectively handle the drying and curing of extruded products. An internal hot-air circulation system ensures low energy consumption and reduced production costs. Flexible heating options—including steam, gas, and electric—accommodate various production requirements.
7. Coating System: Optional vacuum coating system available; allows for the incorporation of higher levels of fats and flavorings (up to 35% coating ratio), enhancing product palatability and nutritional value.
8. Cooling System: Cools material to near-ambient temperatures, effectively extending product shelf life.
9. Packaging System: Customizable to requirements.
What can a sinking fish feed production line do?
