Nigeria is blessed with over 12.5 million hectares of water surface which a good percentage could be put to use for aquaculture and development. The aquaculture industry is not new to Nigeria; the first documented fish farms date back fifty years. However, this was also the time when fishing activities among coastal communities also began to decrease due to oil-related activities.

Fishes are aquatic creatures that lives in water and there are over ten thousand {10,000} species of fishes in the waters. Only a few of the many kind of fishes are being cultured in Nigeria. In Nigeria, there are two fish types that thrive. These are the tilapia and the Clarias, which is a class of the catfish family.

The Nigerian customer purchased a 1.8-2 t/h fish feed pellet mill extruder from herm machinery, which mainly produces tilapia food and the clarias feed. The feed pellets produced are 2-12mm in size. Fish feed is processed by compression, pelleting or extrusion. Existing pelletizers in Nigeria are not adequate for production of highly demanded fish feeds like floating types that can be done through extrusion.

This is because they sink rapidly when thrown in pond or tank, any raw starch in the diet is left uncooked, pollutes the water in the pond and tendency to crumble, produce much dust and gets wasted due to inability to detect when the fishes are satisfied with feeding. The DGP-200 produced by Herm Machinery has many advantages. During pelletizing process, salmonellosis and bacterial infections can be killed by high temperature and high pressure. This dgp dry type feed extruder can produce both floating and sinking aqua feed pellets by adjusting feed formulations. Different molds can be chosen to make pellets with different diameters (0.9-15mm) and shapes. Floating time of final feed pellets can also be adjusted by the extrusion degree adjustment.This dgp dry type fish feed extruder also applies to make pellet food for rabbits, shrimps, dogs, cats, ducks and the like. What’s more, the pellet feed is more economical than the compound mash feed.
