catfish feed production line

Catfish feed production line is a fully integrated industrial solution designed for the efficient production of high-quality aquatic feed pellets tailored specifically for catfish and other freshwater species. Using advanced food-technology methods, this production line delivers consistent, nutrient-rich floating and sinking feed pellets through a reliable workflow that includes mixing, extrusion, drying, and optional seasoning and packaging.

This line is ideal for aquaculture farms, feed mills, commercial catfish operations, and R&D facilities seeking scalable, automated feed production with customizable output and pellet specifications.

Core Equipment & Production Flow
Typical Production Process
Raw material preparation → Mixing → Extrusion → Drying → Cooling → Seasoning → Packaging
This streamlined workflow supports continuous production and consistent pellet quality.

1.Raw Material Mixer Machine
The industrial feed mixer uniformly combines raw materials such as corn, soybean meal, fish meal, rice bran, and nutrient additives. This ensures *even distribution of nutrients* before extrusion, improving pellet consistency and feeding performance.

2. Extrusion Machine (Fish Feed Extruder)
The heart of the line — a high-efficiency *twin-screw or dry-type extruder* — transforms mixed raw materials into shaped pellets through controlled high temperature and pressure. The extrusion process enhances digestibility, nutrition availability, and palatability for *catfish* and other aquatic animals. Die molds can be swapped to vary pellet diameters and densities (e.g., floating vs. sinking types).

3. Dryer / Oven Machine
After extrusion, pellets pass through a *dryer or oven* system that carefully reduces moisture content and stabilizes feed quality. Adjustable temperature and belt speed controls ensure efficient drying without damaging nutrients — essential for long-term storage and feed integrity.

4. Auxiliary Systems (Optional)
To complete the production process and enhance product quality, the line can include screw conveyors, air conveyors, flavoring & oil sprayers, coolers, and automatic packaging equipment. These systems help *season, cool, and prepare the feed* for distribution or sale.

Technical Features

Custom Production Capacity: Flexible configurations from small-scale (100–300 kg/h) to large industrial lines (500–5000 kg/h or more).
Floating & Sinking Feed Outputs: Adjust extrusion and drying parameters to create feeds optimized for catfish feeding behavior and water conditions.
Food-Grade Construction: Stainless steel contact parts and quality motors ensure durability, sanitation, and compliance with feed safety standards.
High Automation: PLC control panels, conveyors, and optional packaging systems reduce labor and increase operational efficiency.
Versatile Raw Material Handling: Processes common feed ingredients like grains, meals, powders, and additives to meet nutritional formulations.

Fish food extruder capacity.

AVN65 machine line has capacity 120 kg per hour.
AVN70 machine line has capacity 200 kg per hour.
AVN85 machine line has capacity 500-800 kg per hour.
AVN95 machine line has capacity 1000-1200 kg per hour.

Applications

This line is engineered specifically for producing **catfish feed pellets**, but it also supports feed for:
* Tilapia * Carp * Shrimp * Ornamental fish * Other freshwater and marine species
The ability to produce *both floating and sinking pellets* means feed can be tailored to the species’ feeding habits and pond conditions.

Benefits

Improved Feed Utilization: Extruded pellets are more digestible and reduce feed waste.
Nutrient Uniformity: Advanced mixing ensures consistent nutrition in every batch.
Scalable Production: Easily expand capacity as your business grows.
Lower Costs: Efficient drying and material processing reduce energy consumption and waste.
