Achieve seamless integration between raw material pretreatment and the small fish feed pellet making machine. Excessive waiting time between raw material pretreatment (crushing, mixing) and extrusion pelleting can lead to changes in raw material moisture content and stratification, impacting subsequent processing efficiency. It is recommended to use automated conveying equipment (screw conveyors, elevators) to connect the pretreatment equipment to the small fish feed pellet making machine's feed hopper, enabling continuous raw material transport and reducing waiting time. Simultaneously, adjust the operating parameters of the pretreatment equipment according to the fish feed production equipment's capacity to ensure a match between raw material supply and pelleting demand, avoiding insufficient or stockpiled raw materials.
Optimize the matching efficiency between the fish pellet making machine and the cooling screening process. Extruded pellets have high temperatures and high moisture content, requiring cooling screening to become the finished product. Insufficient cooling or low screening efficiency can lead to pellet adhesion, increased breakage, and increased rework costs. It is recommended to select cooling equipment that matches the pellet mill's capacity, with a cooling time controlled at 15-25 minutes to ensure the pellet temperature drops to room temperature and the moisture content to 10%-12%. Simultaneously, optimize the screen mesh size of the screening equipment, selecting an appropriate screen based on the finished pellet size to improve screening efficiency. For example, when producing 3mm dog food pellets, using a double-layer screen with 3.5mm and 2.5mm mesh improves screening efficiency by 25%, reduces the breakage rate from 8% to 3%, decreases rework time, and significantly improves overall production efficiency.
Adopting a continuous production model reduces the number of start-ups and shutdowns of the small fish feed pellet extruder. Frequent start-ups and shutdowns of the floating fish feed making machine increase preheating time, reduce unit time output, and increase equipment wear. It is recommended to develop a reasonable production plan based on order volume to achieve continuous production, such as focusing on producing the same type of pet food each day to avoid frequent formula changes and parameter adjustments. With continuous production, the pellet mill does not require repeated preheating, the extrusion system operates more stably, and the output capacity is increased by 15%-20% compared to intermittent production. At the same time, reasonably schedule equipment maintenance time, placing maintenance work during production breaks or after production ends to avoid downtime for maintenance during production and ensure production continuity.
