Fish Food Pellet Drying Machine
Floating Fish Feed Dryer • Aquatic Feed Production Equipment
The Fish Food Pellet Drying Machine—also known as the Floating Fish Pellet Dryer or Float Fish Feed Dryer—is an essential post-processing machine for aquatic feed production. Specially designed to dry floating, sinking, and slow-sinking fish feed pellets, this industrial dryer ensures uniform moisture removal, enhanced pellet durability, and long storage life.
Ideal for fish farms, aquaculture feed factories, pet food plants, and commercial feed processing lines, this dryer improves product quality and reduces spoilage.
Key Features & Advantages
✔ Efficient Hot-Air Circulation Drying
High-temperature, high-velocity air reduces moisture content rapidly and evenly, preventing cracking or over-drying.
✔ Compatible With All Pellet Types
Perfect for drying:
Floating fish feed
Sinking fish feed
Shrimp feed
Crab feed
Pet pellets (dog/cat feed)
Poultry pellets
✔ Stainless Steel Construction
Food-grade stainless steel drying chamber for:
Hygiene
Corrosion resistance
Long lifetime
Easy cleaning
✔ Energy-Efficient Operation
Options include:
Electric heating
Gas heating
Diesel heating
Biomass furnace
Designed to reduce energy consumption per kg of dried feed.
✔ Adjustable Temperature & Speed
Fully adjustable parameters for complete control:
Drying temperature (typically 60–150°C)
Belt speed / tray time
Humidity control and exhaust
Ensures ideal drying conditions for different pellet sizes and ingredients.
✔ Multi-Layer Belt or Tray Options
Choose between:
Multi-layer mesh belt dryer (high volume, continuous production)
Tray dryer (small/medium batches)
✔ Uniform Drying with No Pellet Damage
Advanced airflow design ensures even moisture removal without burning or collapsing pellets.
