Design Modification And Development Of A Fish Feed Pelletizing Machine:-Dennis Prince
ABSTRACT
The design
modification and performance evaluation of a fish feed pelletizing machine for
low income farmers were carried out with the view to improve the performance of
the existing pelletizing machine. The procedure of fabrication included
welding, riveting, bolting and seaming was applied: the materials were locally
sourced with a view to engineering standard. The machine was tested using
different die diameters of 2 mm, 4 mm and 6mm. The test was conducted at
different moisture content of 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30% and 35% wet basis. The
machine test results showed that the pelletizing efficiency increases as
moisture content and die diameter increase. The machine throughput also
increases with both moistures. Content and die diameter. Highest efficiency of
98% was obtained when the moisture content was maintained at 25% wet basis and
the feed materials were made to pass through 6 mm die diameter. Therefore, the
improved fish feed pelletizing machine is recommended for use by small-scale
fish feed production as the existing pelletizers have comparable higher losses
couple with lower efficiency
