For small- to medium-scale production and budget-constrained scenarios: Prioritize Single-Screw Pet Food Extrusion Machines.
For family farms (5-20 mu of fishponds) and small-scale feed processing startups with small production scales (capacity ≤ 500 kg/h), limited budgets (≤ 200,000 RMB), and primarily producing conventional feed (such as sinking feed for carp and grass carp, and general poultry and livestock compound feed), single-screw extruders are the preferred choice. Their low purchase cost, simple operation, and low maintenance cost reduce startup risk and enable rapid cost recovery. For example, a family farm using a 100 kg/h single-screw extruder can start production with an investment of 80,000-100,000 RMB, producing 200 kg of fish feed per day, saving 30%-40% in costs compared to purchasing finished feed.
For large-scale industrialization and complex formulation scenarios: Prioritize Twin-Screw Pet Food Extruders. Large-scale feed companies and aquaculture bases with substantial production capacity (≥500 kg/h), ample budgets (≥500,000 RMB), and a need to produce complex feed formulations (such as high-fiber cattle feed, high-meat-content pet food, and functional aquatic feed) should prioritize twin-screw extruders. Their high capacity, stable quality, and strong raw material adaptability ensure continuous production and enhance product competitiveness. For example, large pet food companies producing high-end puppy food need to add functional ingredients such as probiotics and fish oil; using a twin-screw extruder ensures nutrient retention and stable pellet quality, meeting the high-end market demand.
Special Scenario Selection: Flexible Adaptation to Needs If you plan to produce multiple types of feed and have a sufficient budget, a switchable screw extruder (single or twin screw) can be selected to accommodate both conventional and complex formulations, but the purchase cost is higher. If the production site is limited (≤30㎡) and infrastructure is inadequate (no stable steam supply, limited water source), a single screw floating fish extruder machine is preferred, as it requires no complex supporting equipment and can be installed and operated immediately. If the production site has strict environmental requirements and needs to process high-fiber, high-moisture raw materials, the precise temperature control and high-efficiency processing characteristics of a twin screw extruder better meet environmental requirements, but it requires a complete wastewater and exhaust gas treatment system.
Advanced Selection Recommendations: Focus on equipment compatibility and upgrade potential. When selecting a model, consider the equipment's formulation compatibility. Single screw extruders are suitable for simple formulations; if you plan to expand to complex formulations in the future, you need to reserve space for upgrading to a twin screw extruder. While twin screw pet feed extruders are suitable for complex formulations, the initial investment is large, and you need to ensure sufficient market demand to support production capacity. In addition, prioritize manufacturers with high brand recognition and comprehensive after-sales service to ensure reliable equipment quality and adequate subsequent technical support.
