A, adhesives
Adhesive is bonded molding role in fish feed additives, can be roughly divided into natural substances and chemical substances. The former can be divided by ingredients, sugar, starch, wheat flour, corn flour, etc.), and animal glue, bone glue, hide glue, fish paste, etc.); The latter has a carboxymethyl cellulose, sodium polyacrylate, etc. In the process of the use of feed production, adding the right amount of binder can improve the stability of feed water, adhesive bonding strength in addition to the concerned with nature of itself, is also related to such factors as the type, feed and processing conditions.
Second, the crushing granularity
Grinding fineness for fish feed particles has great influence on the water stability, raw material grinding particle size is too large, the corresponding surface area to reduce, lead to the raw material on the surface of the starch in the process of granulating modulation is not fully gelatinization, binding effect, after flooding water immersion feed particles easily and happen to pieces. General fish with compound feed raw material after crushed by 40 goals screen, 60 goals must sieve sieve content 20% or less, and shrimp feed raw material requirements through 60 goals screen.
Third, quenched and tempered
The key on feed molding. Conditioning is applied to feed through high temperature and high pressure steam, the starch gelatinization, protein denaturation, increase the cohesiveness and plasticity, guarantee the fine feed structure, have moderate strength, water stability is good. In order to help the effect, in addition to mastering the tempering time, tempering temperature, also should choose saturated steam, and maintain a stable, constant pressure, avoid damp and hot steam. For aquatic feed crude protein 30% or higher, suitable for steam pressure of 0.3 to 0.3 MPa, tempering temperature 80-95 ℃.
Four, ring die
Ring die compression ratio (deep diameter/size) size also has a certain influence on the stability of fish feed water, large ring mould compression ratio of feed grain hardness, tight structure, feed water resistant time is long, short, conversely normal ring die compression ratio for 14 to 17, prawn 17-20.
