Jinan Eagle Food Machinery provides complete floating fish feed machine solutions for producing high-quality floating pellets for aquaculture farms and fish feed factories.
Our floating fish feed extruder machines are designed to produce floating feed pellets for tilapia, catfish, carp, trout, salmon, ornamental fish, and other aquatic species with excellent floating ability, water stability, and nutritional retention.
The production line uses twin screw extrusion technology to control pellet density, expansion rate, and digestibility, helping feed manufacturers produce premium floating aquaculture feed.

A floating fish feed machine is an industrial extrusion system used to manufacture buoyant fish feed pellets that remain floating on the water surface for a certain period.
During extrusion, high temperature, pressure, and mechanical shear modify the starch structure in raw materials. After passing through the die and cutting system, the pellets expand and obtain a controlled density lower than water.
This process creates floating pellets with:
Our floating fish feed production line uses a twin screw extruder, which provides:
Twin screw extrusion is especially suitable for commercial fish feed production where consistent quality is required.
By adjusting:
the machine can produce different floating feed products according to customer requirements.
Examples:
| Fish Feed Type | Pellet Size |
|---|---|
| Fry feed | 0.5-1.5 mm |
| Small fish feed | 1.5-3 mm |
| Adult fish feed | 3-8 mm |
| Large fish feed | 8-12 mm |
A complete floating fish feed production line usually includes:
Grinding corn, soybean meal, wheat flour, fish meal, and other ingredients into suitable powder.
Uniformly mixes:
The core machine of the production line.
Main functions:
Produces different pellet shapes and sizes.
Removes moisture and improves storage stability.
Heating energy can be gas, steam, diesel oil, wood pellet , coal etc.
Adds oil after drying to improve nutrition and palatability.
The oil spraying system can be normally oil sprayer, or use vaccuum coating system, the different . But sure, vacuum system is more complicated and more costly.
Automatic weighing and packaging for commercial sales.
Our floating fish feed machines are widely used for producing:
Suitable for tropical aquaculture farms.
Produces high-protein floating pellets with good water stability.
Suitable for freshwater fish farming.
Produces high-quality sinking and floating aquatic feed.
Small diameter pellets for aquarium fish.
| Model | Capacity | Main Motor |
|---|---|---|
| DP65 | 100-150 kg/h | 55 kW |
| DP70 | 180-240 kg/h | 75 kW |
| DP75 | 350-500 kg/h | 90 kW |
| DP85 | 600-700KG/H | 100KW |
| DP90 | 1000KG/H | 120KW |
| DP100 | 1500-2000KG/H | 135KW |
| DP125 | 2000-3000KG/H | 180KW |
| DP135 | 3000-5000KG/H | 280KW |
| DP150 | 6000-7000KG/H | 400KW |
Capacity depends on raw materials, formula, pellet size, and final product requirements.
The machine can process many ingredients:
Typical formula examples:
Compared with traditional sinking feed:
Farmers can easily observe feeding conditions and reduce overfeeding.
Floating pellets allow farmers to control feeding quantity.
Extrusion cooking improves starch digestibility.
Less uneaten feed reduces water pollution.
Jinan Eagle Food Machinery has more than 30 years of extrusion technology experience.

Before selecting equipment, customers should consider:
Examples:
Different fish require different:
Whether producing:
A twin screw fish feed extruder is commonly used to produce floating fish feed because it provides stable extrusion pressure and better control of pellet expansion.
Yes. By adjusting extrusion parameters and formulation, the same machine can produce floating, slow sinking, and sinking aquatic feed.
Our machines can produce from 100 kg/h to 10tons/h per single extruder. Complete production lines can be customized for higher capacities.
Yes. The machine is widely used for tilapia, catfish, carp, trout, salmon, and other aquaculture species.
Twin screw extruders provide better mixing, more stable production, and wider raw material adaptability, making them preferred for commercial floating fish feed production.
