How to reduce the cost of a wet fish feed pellet extruder machine?

Equipment Selection: Wet fish feed production equipment adaptation solution. For home production, a small wet extrusion machine with a capacity of 50-100kg per hour is preferred. It is compact (approximately 80×50×60cm), supports 220V household power, has a power consumption of 3-5kW, low power consumption, and integrates extrusion, shaping, and simple sterilization functions. Operation is simple and requires no professional skills. The equipment is made of food-grade stainless steel, which is easy to clean and corrosion-resistant. It is equipped with simple parameter adjustment knobs for easy fine-tuning of temperature and speed.

Simplified Operation: Adaptable to small-scale production processes. Raw material pretreatment uses a small household grinder to grind to 100 mesh. Manual mixing of raw materials and water is sufficient, eliminating the need for automated mixing equipment. Preheat the extruder for 10-15 minutes before operation, feeding in small batches (5-10kg each time) for easy parameter control and to avoid material waste. Post-processing uses a household vacuum packaging machine instead of a large filling machine. Sterilization uses a high-temperature cooking pot (70-80℃, 20 minutes), simplifying the process while ensuring quality.

Extruder Maintenance and Safe Operation. After each day's operation, thoroughly clean the die head and screw of the wet fish feed making machine to remove any residual material. Rinse with warm water and air dry to prevent mold and corrosion. Check the lubrication system weekly and add special lubricating oil to ensure smooth screw operation. Wear protective gloves and a mask during operation to avoid burns from hot material splashes and keep away from fire sources to prevent dust risks. Regularly calibrate the temperature control and pressure sensors of the wet fish food making machine to ensure accurate parameters and extend the service life of the equipment.
