How the Line Works: Workflow & Core Machine
There are multiple processes involved in a modern fish feed manufacturing plant, and to ensure the quality of the final product, each stage of the fish feed mill plant is crucial.
From raw material receiving to final packaging, we provide highly sophisticated technical support at every step, which helps make the pellets not only nutritionally balanced but also physically uniform and economically viable.

The detailed breakdown of each component in one typical fish feed manufacturing line is as follow：
1. Receiving Section
Receiving section is the first step of any fish feed making line. Whether the raw material which offer plant protein(like soybean, rapeseed meal, wheat germ meal and so on), or offer the animal protein(like fish meal, shrimp and crab meal, whey powder and so on) were all processing form here. The receiving part include the raw material delivery and screening. Efficient raw material intake system cam prevent contamination and minimize material losses.
Properly managing this step lays the foundation for the consistent quality in subsequent steps. The receiving section also includes material elevating, binning and siloing. These help organize the raw materials before they enter the next step in the production line.
2. Crushing section
Crushing section is responsible for reducing the size of raw material to a suitable range for further processing. A grinding machine or mill(typically involves hammer mills or roller mills) is used in this step. The choose of the equipment depends on the feed formulation and your desired particle size.
For fish feed, particle size can affects pellet formation. Thus thoroughly crush is very essential for high quality pellet especially for young aquatic animals. Our crushing section equipped with sieves and air separation devices to improve the grinding efficiency and minimize fines.
3. Batching & Mixing
Batching is the process of accurately measuring out raw material. The stage is crucial because it directly affects the nutritional value of the final pellet. Our batching system use PLC controls and load cells to guarantee accuracy.
Once batching is complete, the ingredients are transferred to the mixing section. Mixing is essential because it improves feed quality and ensures extruding efficiency. Moreover, the uniform blending ensures that every pellet contains balanced nutrition. Typically, the mixing section uses double-shaft paddle mixers to achieve uniformity in a short period of time.
4. Micro crushing
Micro crushing is an essential step for producing high quality aquatic feed. Small species like fry or krill require very fine particles for easy consumption and digestion. In this section, materials are further ground down to microns using fine grinders or pellet machine.
This helps to improve the pellet durability and minimize the feed waste. Micro crushing ensures that feed ingredients are small enough to pass through the pellet die holes. Thus supporting efficient pellet size during following steps like extruding or pelleting.
5. Mixing section
Mixing section is designed to incorporate vitamins, minerals, oils or other micro-ingredients into the pre prepared mix. This stage prevent the sensitive components expose to high temperatures or pressures too early during the fish feed manufacturing plant.
Fish feed mixers are used to create a uniform blend for the further pelletizing part. Proper mixing also help maintain product integrity throughout storage and transport.
6. Pelletizing & cooling
Pelletizing section is the core part of the entire production line. To begin with, let’s talk about the pelletizing process. This is the stage where the magic happens: the ground and mixed materials are formed into uniform feed pellets. In this section, the typical machines used include pellet machines (such as sinking fish feed pellet machines and floating fish feed pellet machines) as well as floating fish feed extruder machine (such as floating fish feed single-screw extruders and twin-screw extruders).
We can customized the pellet machine according to your need. After pelletizing, the feed must be cooled rapidly to remove moisture and prevent spoilage. Fish feed pellet cooler can reduce the pellet temperature thus preserving pellet strength and shelf-life.
7. Packing section
The packing section is the final step in the production line, involving the weighing, filling, sealing, and labeling of the finished fish feed. Automated packing machines ensure both speed and accuracy, minimizing manual handling while maintaining product hygiene and meeting health claims.
Properly packed products are easier to store and transport, ensuring efficiency in the supply chain.
