For the twin screw floating fish feed extruder, raw materials are high-temperature conditioned first, then sent to the extrusion mechanism, where parallel screws steadily push them forward.
Materials enter the barrel from the hopper; as screws rotate, they are transported, compacted, stirred, mixed and crushed to ensure uniformity.
During processing, materials heat up, melt and are pressurized, achieving full gelatinization of raw starch. Extruded through customized die holes, pressure releases rapidly, causing water evaporation and material expansion.
Extruded products are quickly cooled to around 80℃ to solidify and maintain shape, ensuring high-quality floating fish feed pellets for aquatic farming.

Main Equipment of the Fish Feed Production Line
With rapid economic growth and booming aquaculture industry, the global demand for high-quality aquatic feed has been growing fast, showing a clear trend toward commercialization and large-scale production.
To meet this strong market demand, AOWIN Machinery, combined with years of R&D and manufacturing experience in extrusion equipment, has developed a full range of reliable fish feed production lines.
A complete floating fish feed production line mainly consists of the following core equipment: hammer mill, mixing machine, twin-screw fish feed extruder, dryer, and other supporting machines.
Feed grinder machine
This feed grinder is specially designed to grind raw materials for fish feed production, including corn, sorghum, wheat, beans, cake meals and other agro-industrial by-products.
Feed mixer machine
It mixes the crushed fish feed raw materials evenly with a specified proportion of water and additives.
floating fish feed extruder machine
The mixed raw materials are extruded through a die under high temperature and pressure to form uniform feed pellets.
Cooling machine
It cools the dried feed pellets from 80°C to 3–5°C above room temperature, helping oil solidify and making packaging easier.
Vibrating screener
It screens out excess impurities and granular residues in feed, grain, flour and food processing, achieving accurate material grading.
Can a Fish Feed Extruder Machine Make Floating Fish Feed Pellets?
Yes, a professional fish feed extruder is specially designed to produce high-quality floating fish feed pellets efficiently.
Extrusion is an advanced processing technology that cooks materials under high temperature and pressure, combining conveying, crushing, extrusion, shearing, high-temperature sterilization and molding in one step.It handles viscous, high-fat and high-moisture raw materials exceptionally well — a huge advantage over traditional production methods.That’s why it is widely used for premium aquatic feed, pet feed and special aquaculture feed.
What are the advantages of extruded floating aquatic feed pellets?
Advantages of Extruded Floating Aquatic Feed Pellets
| 1 | Excellent Water Resistance | Extruded feed pellets feature great water stability and won’t break down even after 12 hours in water. This protects water quality, cuts feed waste, and supports healthy growth of aquatic life. |
| 2 | Higher Digestibility | High temperature, pressure and shearing greatly improve nutrient digestibility. Starch gelatinization reaches over 85%, far higher than ordinary hard pellets (about 40%). It also breaks down fiber and keratin, releasing more absorbable nutrients. |
| 3 | Better Palatability | Extrusion creates porous, even-textured pellets with natural flavor compounds, effectively stimulating appetite and increasing feed intake. |
| 4 | Wider Raw Material Usage | Twin-screw extruders can process high-moisture, high-oil or high-fiber by-products from food and agricultural industries, expanding available feed resources. |
Production Line & Equipment Advice
When building or upgrading a fish feed line, a twin-screw floating fish feed extruder is highly recommended. Choose based on capacity and budget, and check if your existing grinder, dryer and cooler can be reused to save investment.
