Commercial use wet type fish feed pellet maker machine tset
May 12, 2026
Introduction
Our factory recently completed a successful testing process for a commercial use wet Type floating fish feed pellet processing machine. During the test, the equipment continuously produced high-quality floating fish feed pellets with stable expansion, smooth surface, and uniform size.
This wet type fish feed production system is designed for medium and large aquaculture feed factories, fish farming cooperatives, and commercial aquatic feed manufacturers who require stable and efficient feed production.
Compared with dry type systems, the wet type fish feed pellet maker uses steam conditioning to improve starch gelatinization, pellet durability, and floating performance.

FAQ
Q1: What is the main advantage of wet Type floating fish feed pellet extruder machines?
Wet type machines use steam conditioning to improve pellet expansion, durability, and floating performance.
Q2: Can this machine produce sinking fish feed?
Yes. By adjusting formulas and process settings, sinking feed can also be produced.
Q3: Why are floating pellets sinking after production?
Low starch content or insufficient steam conditioning may reduce pellet buoyancy.
Q4: What raw materials are suitable for this machine?
Corn flour, soybean meal, fish meal, wheat bran, and other common feed ingredients.
Q5: Why does the screw wear quickly?
Long-term overload production or abrasive materials may increase screw wear.
