company news about What Is the Price of a small fish feed making machine?

The replacement cost of vulnerable parts in a twin screw pet feed extruder is one of the most significant hidden costs. Core vulnerable parts include the screw, die, bearings, and belts, whose lifespan depends on the material and frequency of use. A standard screw (45# steel) in a small mini extruder has a lifespan of 3-6 months, with a replacement cost of 2000-3000 yuan; a high-quality 38CrMoAl screw has a lifespan of 1-2 years, with a replacement cost of 3000-5000 yuan. The replacement cost of the die is 500-1500 yuan per die, depending on the bore diameter, with a lifespan of 6-12 months. The replacement cost of bearings and belts is relatively low, approximately 500-1000 yuan per year. Based on a small workshop's equipment operating for 6 hours per day, the annual replacement cost of vulnerable parts is approximately 3000-8000 yuan, accounting for 20%-53% of the initial purchase price (15000 yuan), a significant expense.

Energy consumption costs are also an important hidden cost, related to the motor power and production efficiency of the Fish Feed Extrusion Process. Small mini extruders have motors with power ranging from 2.2 to 7.5 kW, consuming 2.2 to 7.5 kWh of electricity per hour. At an industrial electricity price of 1 yuan per kWh, the energy cost for producing 100 catties of feed is approximately 2.2 to 7.5 yuan. Medium-sized single-screw extruders have motors with power ranging from 7.5 to 15 kW, consuming 7.5 to 15 kWh of electricity per hour, resulting in an energy cost of approximately 5 to 10 yuan per 100 catties of feed. Twin-screw pet pellet making machines have motors with power ranging from 30 to 100 kW, consuming 30 to 100 kWh of electricity per hour, resulting in an energy cost of approximately 6 to 20 yuan per 100 kg of feed. For a small workshop producing 500 catties of feed per month, the annual energy cost is approximately 300 to 600 yuan; for a medium-sized workshop producing 2000 catties per month, the annual energy cost is approximately 1200 to 2400 yuan. Over the long term, this can accumulate into a significant expense.

Other hidden costs include maintenance labor costs, equipment depreciation, and after-sales repair costs. Maintenance labor costs mainly consist of labor expenses for equipment cleaning and parts replacement, amounting to approximately 1,000-3,000 yuan per year. Equipment is depreciated over 5 years, with annual depreciation costs at 20% of the initial purchase price. If equipment malfunctions and requires manufacturer repair, on-site service fees are approximately 500-2,000 yuan per instance. When purchasing, a comprehensive evaluation of the initial price and hidden costs is necessary. Choosing equipment with a moderate initial price, universally compatible wear parts, and low energy consumption, such as mid-range models from domestic brands equipped with 38CrMoAl screws, can effectively reduce long-term operating costs.
