Precisely control the extrusion temperature of the pet food making machine for home to balance efficiency and quality. Excessive extrusion temperature leads to over-gelatinization of raw materials, causing them to stick to the die and increasing discharge resistance; insufficient temperature results in incomplete extrusion and poor pellet formation. Temperature adjustments are necessary based on the raw material formula and feed type: when producing high-protein puppy food, the extrusion temperature should be controlled at 120-130℃ to ensure sufficient protein denaturation without nutrient loss; when producing chew-resistant adult pet food, the temperature should be increased to 130-150℃ to enhance pellet hardness and improve production efficiency. For example, when using a single-screw extruder to produce small breed dog food, optimizing the temperature from 125℃ to 135℃, along with speed adjustments, increases production capacity by 18% while maintaining acceptable pellet chewability. Regular calibration of the pellet mill's temperature control system is also essential to ensure temperature deviation does not exceed ±5℃.
Stable extrusion pressure in the small pet food making machine ensures continuous and efficient production. Unstable extrusion pressure leads to intermittent discharge, large fluctuations in production capacity, and even die blockage. During normal production, the extrusion pressure should be controlled between 3-5 MPa. Pressure stability can be achieved by adjusting the feed rate and die orifice diameter. For example, when producing fine-particle cat food, using a 1.5mm die and adjusting the feed rate from 20 kg/h to 25 kg/h while monitoring pressure changes, ensures the pressure remains stable at around 4 MPa. At this point, the output is continuous and uniform, increasing production capacity by 22%. Furthermore, regularly cleaning residual material from the die orifice to prevent blockage and sudden pressure increases is also crucial for ensuring pressure stability.
Optimize the screw speed of the floating fish feed extruder machine to match the characteristics of the raw materials and production capacity requirements. Screw speed directly affects the residence time and feed rate of the raw material in the extrusion chamber. Too high a speed can lead to insufficient extrusion, while too low a speed will reduce production capacity. It is recommended to control the speed of a single-screw extruder at 300-400 rpm and a twin-screw extruder at 250-350 rpm. For example, when producing high-fiber pet food, where the raw materials have poor flowability, the speed of the Twin-Screw fish feed extruder machine can be reduced from 300 rpm to 280 rpm to extend the residence time of the raw materials and ensure full extrusion. When producing regular grain-based dog food, the speed can be increased to 320 rpm to increase the conveying speed, which can increase production capacity by 12%-15%. It is important to note that speed adjustments need to be optimized in conjunction with temperature and pressure to avoid quality degradation caused by adjusting a single parameter.
MIKIM's fish feed pellet production lines and supporting machinery offer excellent value for money. Not only are they affordable, eliminating middlemen markups and allowing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and fish farmers to purchase complete sets of equipment at reasonable costs, but they also boast exceptional efficiency. The fully automated process, from raw material crushing and precise ingredient mixing to extrusion pelleting and maturation, is completed in one continuous flow. This results in high starch gelatinization rates and uniform pellet formation, significantly improving production efficiency and feed quality, truly achieving "low cost, high output."
