Extrusion cooking involves the application of mechanical energy supplied by the shearing and mixing action of the extruder screws. During the process, a formula mix is transformed from a powdery, free-flowing meal into a dense, compact powder.

Abstract: The performance of a developed floating fish feed extruder was evaluated. The effect of some. parameters such as; screw speeds (100 rpm, 150 rpm, and 200 rpm), moisture content

The key components of a Floating Fish Feed Making Machine include a grinder or pulverizer for grinding raw materials, a mixer for blending ingredients, an extruder for shaping the feed pellets, a dryer for removing moisture, and a cooler for cooling the pellets.

Performance evaluation of the fabricated floating fish feed extruding machine was done. The design of the hopper, shaft, barrel, screw and die of the machine were done using standard
