cost of setting up a fertilizer plant
Your aqua feed products deserve the best possible treatment. This calls for all applications ranging from raw materials all the way through to the packaging process working hand in hand. To ensure that the entire fish feed production process is perfectly coordinated - for results of outstanding quality. This is what RICHI stands for. With 30 years of experience, RICHI MACHINERY provides its expertise on each step of the production, cost optimization and customization of the production line and of the single machines in order for you to be at the forefront of aqua fish feed production. So, how to make fish feed? Let's take a look at the standard fish feed manufacturing process.

Raw Material Preparation

The production of fish feed starts with the preparation of raw materials, including fish meal, soybean meal, rapeseed meal, corn, wheat flour, bran, vitamin premix, minerals, attractants, oils, etc. When the raw materials enter the factory, they must pass the quality inspection procedures to detect their moisture, protein content, impurities and whether they are moldy.

Coarse Grinding

In order to efficiently mix and refine the raw materials in the future, the raw materials with larger particles (such as cereals and soybean meal) need to be initially crushed. The coarse grinding process usually uses a hammer mill to grind the raw materials into particles of 3-5mm, which helps to increase the specific surface area and improve the efficiency of subsequent ultrafine grinding.

Fine Grinding

Due to the sensitive digestive system of fish, the feed needs to be ultrafinely ground (D90≤100μm) with high fineness to improve the digestibility of the feed and stability in water. This link uses an ultrafine grinder, which operates under low temperature and closed conditions to effectively prevent heat loss of nutrients and fat oxidation.

Mixing

Put various powdered raw materials, vitamins, minerals, trace elements and functional additives into a high-efficiency mixer according to the formula ratio for uniform mixing. At the same time, attractants and oils can be accurately added through the automated micro-addition system and liquid spraying system.

Extrusion

The mixed powder is processed by an extruder at high temperature and high pressure to form fish feed pellets. By adjusting the barrel temperature, screw structure and mold shape, the floating and sinking properties of the feed can be controlled to produce floating, sinking or slow-sinking fish feed.

Drying

The moisture content of the extruded fish feed is high (2028%), and it is necessary to reduce the moisture content to 1012% through a continuous or multi-layer belt dryer. During the drying process, the hot air temperature must be controlled (generally 80~120℃) to keep the material evenly heated to avoid nutritional loss, feed deformation or cracking.

Coating

The dried pellets need to enter the vacuum spraying system to add oil, attractants, functional additives, etc. to improve the energy density and palatability of the feed. Compared with adding oil in the mixing stage, this section injects oil into the pellets through negative pressure, which has a higher adsorption rate and is not easy to fall off.

Cooling and Screening

The feed temperature after spraying is still higher than room temperature, and it must be slowly cooled by a countercurrent cooler to reduce the feed temperature to prevent condensation and mold. The finished pellets are then screened by screener to remove powder, oversized or irregular particles to ensure uniform appearance and consistent particle size.

Packaging

The fish feed that has passed the cooling and screening is automatically transported to the packaging section, and the automatic weighing and packaging system is used to bag the set weight (such as 5kg, 20kg, 50kg), and complete the processes of sewing, labeling, and coding. For some customers who need bulk shipments, bulk tank trucks or ton bag packaging systems can also be used.

Finished Product

The packaged finished feed must be stored in a dry, well-ventilated warehouse. The warehouse should be equipped with moisture-proof, rodent-proof and insect-proof devices, and the temperature and humidity should be controlled within an appropriate range. Stack and label according to production batches to ensure product traceability.

The main equipment configuration includes: simple PLC batching system, double-shaft mixer, dry single-screw extruder, SZLH250 pelletizer, small dryer, spraying device and automatic packaging machine, etc. All equipment is anti-corrosion treated, and the electrical system is equipped with voltage stabilization protection. The control system is simple and intuitive, and is equipped with a Spanish operating interface.

From the perspective of profit prospects, the project has good market potential in southern Chile. Based on 50KG/H salmon feed, 45KG/H chicken feed and 35KG/H poultry powder, the annual output can reach 400 tons of salmon feed, 360 tons of chicken feed and 280 tons of poultry powder.

Considering government subsidies, local production advantages and current feed prices, the expected investment payback period is only 18-22 months. With the continuous development of small and medium-sized farms in Chile, this flexible and efficient small feed production line will obtain stable income, while creating 8-10 jobs and promoting the development of the local rural economy. The successful implementation of this project will provide a replicable model for the development of small feed mills in Chile.

This design comes from our Indonesian fish feed production line project. The production line is specially designed for the production of sinking fish feed (8-12T/H) such as tilapia and shrimp feed (2.5-5T/H), using locally available raw material formula: fish meal (15-25%), soybean meal (20-30%), rice bran (15-20%), cassava flour (10-15%) and special premix (3-5%).

As the largest archipelago country in Southeast Asia, Indonesia has vast aquaculture waters and a rapidly developing aquaculture industry. According to statistics from the Indonesian Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, the annual demand for aquatic feed in the country has exceeded 3 million tons, of which sinking fish feed accounts for more than 60%.

At the same time, the shrimp farming industry has also maintained an annual growth rate of 8%. In this market context, a large feed company in Java decided to invest in the construction of this 8-12T/H high-capacity aquatic feed production line to meet the growing demand for sinking fish feed and shrimp feed.

8-10T/H Sinking Fish Production Line Flow Chart And Process Description

  1. The raw material receiving system is equipped with two manual feeding ports, which can handle different types of raw materials at the same time.
  2. The first crushing uses a hammer mill to process the raw materials to a particle size of 3-5mm.
  3. The first batching and mixing system is equipped with 12 raw material bins to achieve accurate and automatic batching.
  4. The second crushing system uses two hammer mills and an ultra-fine grinder to work in parallel to ensure that 80% of the raw materials pass through a 60-mesh screen.
  5. The second batching and mixing system is equipped with 6 fine material bins to add trace ingredients and liquid raw materials.
  6. The granulation section uses an enhanced granulator equipped with a three-layer conditioner, and the material temperature reaches 85-90℃ through steam conditioning.
  7. The cooling system uses a large countercurrent cooler with a processing capacity of 15T/H.
  8. The screening section uses a three-stage screening system, including a rotary grading screen and a high square screen, to ensure that the qualified rate of the finished product is ≥98%.
  9. The fully automatic packaging system is equipped with two packaging machines, which can complete 300 packages per hour.

The design of the production line has many innovative advantages: the three-stage conditioning system significantly improves the gelatinization degree of starch; the double crushing process ensures the optimal fineness of raw materials; the intelligent batching system realizes precise nutritional control; the anti-humidity and heat design adapts to tropical climate; the energy recovery device reduces energy consumption by 25%; and the degree of automation is as high as 85%. It is particularly worth mentioning that the production line has obtained the "Quality Aquatic Feed Certification" of the Indonesian Ministry of Fisheries.

In addition to the designed sinking fish feed and shrimp feed, the production line can also produce a variety of other products: catfish feed, mixed feed, special aquatic feed, etc. By adjusting the formula and process parameters, the diversified needs of different breeding modes can be met.

The main equipment configuration includes: high-power crushing unit, multi-bin batching system, three-layer conditioning granulator, high-efficiency cooler, intelligent screening equipment and automatic packaging line, etc. All equipment is anti-corrosion treated, and the electrical system is equipped with voltage stabilization protection. The control system is equipped with an Indonesian operating interface and remote monitoring function.

From the perspective of profit prospects, the project has great potential in the Indonesian market. Based on 10T/H sinking fish feed and 3.5T/H shrimp feed, the annual output can reach 70,000 tons of sinking fish feed and 25,000 tons of shrimp feed. Considering government subsidies, local raw material cost advantages and current feed prices, the estimated investment payback period is only 2-2.5 years.

This design comes from our Iran fish feed production line project. The production line is designed to be flexible, allowing the client to produce both floating fish feed (for species like carp and tilapia) and shrimp feed (for Litopenaeus vannamei), catering to a diverse customer base.

Iran's aquaculture industry has experienced steady growth in recent years, driven by increasing domestic demand for fish and shrimp products and government initiatives to enhance food security. The country's strategic location near the Caspian Sea and Persian Gulf provides ample opportunities for fish farming, particularly for species like rainbow trout, carp, and whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei).

However, many local farmers rely on imported feed, which increases production costs and reduces profitability. Recognizing this gap, our Iranian client aims to establish a small but efficient fish and shrimp feed production line to supply high-quality, affordable feed to local aquaculture operations.

This production line is specifically designed to manufacture:

  • Floating Fish Feed (2T/H): Ideal for species such as carp, tilapia, and catfish, which require highly digestible, buoyant pellets that remain on the water surface for easy consumption.
  • Shrimp Feed (5T/H for 2.5mm pellets): Formulated for Litopenaeus vannamei, a key farmed shrimp species in Iran, requiring nutrient-rich, slow-sinking pellets that promote optimal growth.

2T/H Fish & Shrimp Feed Production Line Flow Chart And Process Description

  1. Manual Feeding & Initial Mixing: Raw materials (including fishmeal, soybean meal, wheat flour, and essential additives) are manually weighed and fed into the first mixer to ensure a uniform blend.
  2. Primary Grinding: The mixed ingredients pass through a hammer mill to reduce particle size, improving digestibility and pellet quality.
  3. Secondary Grinding: A finer grinding stage further refines the particles, ensuring optimal texture for extrusion and pelleting.
  4. Secondary Mixing: Ingredients are thoroughly blended again to enhance homogeneity before processing.
  5. Pelletizing & Extrusion: Shrimp Feed, Processed using a pellet mill to form dense, slow-sinking pellets; Floating Fish Feed, Produced via a twin-screw extruder, which expands the pellets for buoyancy.
  6. Drying (Fish Feed Only): The extruded fish feed passes through a dryer to reduce moisture and improve stability.
  7. Coating (Fish Feed Only): A fat or nutrient spray system enhances feed palatability and nutritional value.
  8. Cooling: Both fish and shrimp pellets are cooled to improve hardness and shelf life.
  9. Crumbling (Shrimp Feed Only): Larger shrimp pellets are crushed into smaller sizes (2.5mm) for juvenile shrimp.
  10. Screening: Two rotary grading screens separate oversized and undersized pellets, ensuring only high-quality pellets proceed to packaging.
  11. Automatic Packaging: Two packing machines weigh and bag the final product for distribution.

Iran's aquaculture sector is expanding, with shrimp exports being a significant revenue driver. Locally produced feed can drastically reduce costs for farmers, ensuring strong market demand. The ability to produce both floating and sinking feed allows the client to serve a wide range of farming operations. Given the government’s support for domestic feed production and the growing demand for high-quality feed, this production line is expected to achieve a strong return on investment within 2-3 years.

This 2T/H Fish & Shrimp Feed Production Line is a cost-effective, high-efficiency solution tailored to Iran’s aquaculture needs, offering versatility, reliability, and strong profitability potential.

Within the scope of Turnkey Solutions, we provide state-of-the-art and comprehensive solution of our various fish feed making machines. From the automation of a single machine (production cell) to complex and comprehensive interlinking for complete aqua feed production lines, we take over the entire project planning, implementation, and support from a single source. If you have an aqua fish feed production line project in mind, we're here to turn your vision into reality. Whether it's a creative endeavor, a business initiative, or a personal project, our team is ready to collaborate with you.

1

Aquaculture market research

Before construction, in-depth aquaculture market research must be conducted to understand the main fish species (such as tilapia, carp, catfish, white shrimp, etc.), annual production, feed consumption, major competitive brands, price ranges and customer preferences in the target area. At the same time, analyze industry policies, environmental trends, raw material supply channels and logistics conditions, and finally complete a feasibility study report to provide a scientific basis for subsequent construction.

2

Clarify feed type and production capacity demand

There are many types of aquatic feed, including floating, sinking, slow-sinking granular feed, micro-powder, aquatic concentrated feed and functional feed (such as immune enhancement). Before construction, it is necessary to clarify which type of feed to produce and its ratio based on market demand and customer structure, and at the same time determine the design capacity (such as 10,000 tons/30,000 tons/50,000 tons per year), which will directly affect plant planning, equipment selection and staffing.

3

Process flow and equipment design

Unlike ordinary livestock feed, the process of aquatic fish feed production line includes: raw material reception → cleaning → crushing → mixing → puffing → drying → spraying → cooling → screening → packaging, etc. During the design phase, priority should be given to the configuration of raw material pretreatment system, puffing equipment (single screw or twin screw), precision spraying system and automatic packaging line to ensure high automation of the whole line, matching production capacity and sustainable upgrading.

4

Environmental compliance and site selection

Aquatic feed production has strict environmental supervision, especially in terms of dust, noise, odor and wastewater emissions. Site selection should avoid densely populated areas and give priority to being close to the raw material production area or breeding base to reduce transportation costs. At the same time, the environmental impact assessment procedures should be completed in advance, and supporting systems such as dust removal, deodorization, and sewage treatment should be designed to meet local ecological and environmental standards.

5

Select suitable equipment and automation system

Aquatic fish feed equipment must be able to adapt to the characteristics of raw materials such as high oil, high protein, and fine crushing. It is recommended to configure twin-screw extruders, micro-addition systems, vacuum sprayers, fluidized bed dryers, etc. In terms of automation, PLC control systems and production monitoring systems can be introduced to achieve data collection, intelligent alarms, remote monitoring and traceability.

6

Plant layout and logistics optimization design

The plant construction should reasonably layout the raw material area, production area, finished product area, storage area, office area, etc. to ensure smooth process flow, short material flow, and no cross contamination. The raw material transportation channel and the finished product delivery path should be separated to reduce cross interference. The interior of the plant should try to adopt a three-dimensional layout (such as loading platform and lower discharge channel) to improve space utilization and work efficiency.

7

Form technical team and management system

Aquatic fish feed has a high technical content, and it is necessary to recruit formulators, extrusion process engineers, electronic control engineers and quality management personnel with aquatic nutrition background. During the construction period, raw material procurement standards, production process regulations, quality control manuals, safety operation specifications, equipment maintenance plans, etc. should also be formulated to ensure stable operation after production.

8

Production trial operation and market promotion docking

After the fish feed line construction is completed, it is necessary to carry out trial operation processes such as no-load trial operation, full-load trial production, formula optimization, and quality verification to confirm that all links are normal and the quality of the finished product meets the standards before formal production. At the same time, it should actively connect with downstream aquaculture farmers, distributors and feed brand manufacturers to carry out market promotion activities such as sample trials, effect feedback, and price negotiations to open sales channels as soon as possible and realize early cash flow recovery.

How to analyze the quality of suppliers on the Internet? We have some experience and suggestions:

A: Quotation check:

If some equipment is yellow, some is red, and some is blue, and the photos on the quotation have all kinds of colors, it means it is a trading company or a small factory.

B: Company website check:

B1: Are the colors of all the machines on the website the same or different?

If the equipment displayed on the website has a variety of colors, it means it is a trading company or a small factory.

B2: Are the equipment photos in the project cases he showed on website obviously different from the colors of the equipment he quoted? If they are different, it means that the project cases are fake.

B3: Are the machines advertised on the website large or small?

You cannot buy large equipment from a company that only advertised small machines.

C: Previously installed animal feed production lines:

During the previous discussion, did he send you enough real project cases?

If only a few cases are sent to you, or the cases are obviously fake, yes, it means he is a trading company or a small factory.

D: Most important - Equipment workshop inspection:

You can arrange a zoom meeting to observe the following points through video conferencing:

D1: Are there many large pellet machines completed and ready for delivery in the workshop (more than 10 units)?

If there are only a few (or many) small pellet machines for transportation or display, it means that he does not have the ability to manufacture large machines.

D2: You must check his electric control cabinet production workshop to see:

  • First check:
    You need to see the semi-manufactured electric control cabinet , to know he manufacture the electric control cabinet or not? if without semi-manufactured control cabinet , means he is a small factory , can not make control cabinet by himself.
  • Second check :
    Are there enough orders/control cabinets under manufactured ? If there are many orders (more than 10 units), his workshop must be showing various control cabinets of different production lines and semi-finished cabinets

D3: Are the colors of the machines in the workshop the same?

If not, the machines in the workshop have different colors, which means they bought the machines from different factories. They do not have the ability to manufacture it.

D4: If the workshop is not full and very empty, it means it is not good.

....

Why are there at least 10 production lines of electric control cabinets (not counting single machines) and pelletizer ? Because the production cycle of each production line is 30-180 days, we calculate it based on an average of 60 days (2 months), which means that if there are 60 orders a year, and an average of 5 orders a month (not many orders), then there should be more than 10 orders in production in any month of the year.

For example, if you see 3 electric control cabinets, it means that he has only 2-4 orders in the past 2 months, an average of only 1-2 orders per month, and only 10-20 orders per year. Such a factory is very small in scale, with unstable quality and unstable personnel.

(Our engineers and purchasing managers shared these key points, because when our factory needs to buy some materials and processing equipment, they will first do an online inspection and then select 2-3 good ones, secondly they will visit the factories to confirm the final supplier, when they do online inspection, they will very carefully check those points one by one to avoid to choose a trading company or a small factory )

Compared with Top supplier :

Firstly - To define :

To produce higher quality of pellets , need :

  • -higher quality design of fish feed production line
  • - higher quality of each single machine
  • - higher quality of pellet raw materials

What conditions should the higher quality fish feed production line meet?

  1. operational safety
  2. cost reduction technologies
  3. optimal power consumption
  4. optimal man power requirement.

What conditions should the higher quality single machine meet?

  1. better design of single machine
  2. better raw materials of machines
  3. better workers in workshop, with more professional ability to manufacture it with fully careful and fully responsibility

higher quality of feed raw materials?

customer need to control this by his own company

So, you can do comparation between RICHI and top brand :

  • Whose design is better?
  • Is the structure and material of each single machine big different ?

Second- Compared with Top supplier :

Avantage of Top suppliers:

  1. quality is good
  2. service is good
  3. brand is better.

Advantage of RICHI:

  1. quality is good
  2. price is cheaper
  3. service is better & quicker
  4. brand is good.

Suggestion:

Other costs (besides the machine)

We can prepare a semi-turnkey price for the complete project for you, including the cost for air compressor, steel structure, installation, future spare parts.

Sir, as we understand, such a project is not just the cost of the machine, there are many other costs in the future, compared with the semi-turnkey price, you will find that our price is much cheaper than the top suppliers.

About the total investment amount

The economic situation in the world is not very good, the global economy has entered the post-epidemic era, no one can ensure that the economy will get better in a short time, how to ensure a good profit in this situation?

Controlling the investment amount has become a way to win the future, and the money saved ( 2-3 times) will become the pure profit of your company.

Even if the top brands say they are a better choice, customers need to consider: does it really cost so much?

And important, compared with Chinese & Turkey & India suppliers , our price is not cheap . but really much cheaper than German & Italy & America suppliers.

The selling price of your pellets in the market

Whether the pellets are produced by RICHI MACHINERY or top brand equipment, will there be a big difference in the final selling price of the pellets in your target pellet market?

If you use a top brand machine, it can lead to the price of your pellets being 2-3 times that of RICHI pellets, that is also OK.

However, the fact is: The price of pellets from top brand machines and RICHI machines is basically the same.

This means that top brand projects cannot bring you higher profits than RICHI, on the contrary, RICHI machines can bring you more profits than them.

With the money to buy top brand equipment, you can buy 2-3 sets of RICHI production lines, and your factory capacity will be expanded by 2-3 times, so that you can win the market faster, while bringing greater profits and broader development space.

So from:

  • Extra cost except machines
  • Total investment amount & profit
  • Final price of pellets on the market
  • Speed of winning the market

Please do consider more between RICHI and top brands.

Regarding Installation, commissioning and training, we offer two options:

Option- 1:

We will send 2 engineers to install, commission and train within promised days, with an additional cost

  • Installation fee is usually paid to us separately after the equipment arrives
  • Calculation basis: 150 USD/engineer/day + 500 USD/engineer/visa and other fees

Option- 2:

You install the line by yourself:

  • If so, you need to hire local engineers who can understand the drawings and installation.
  • This is free of charge without any extra cost, our service.

(1)- We will provide all installation drawings, including but not limited to foundation drawings, installation drawings, electrical connection drawings...... etc.

(2)- Online whatsapp/Wechat group support, include you, your engineer, me, our engineer, our after-sales colleagues, any questions, you can ask in this online-group freely , we will support by online way. And this is a permanent job (not just during installation), after installation , any questions about maintenance , machines problems , you just leage message in this online-group , we will follow up.

For complete fish feed factory from empty land , budget will be considered including:

  1. Industrial electricity
  2. Fish feed machines cost ( we quote )
  3. Steel structure for machines ( we can quote )
  4. Sea freight to your port ( we can quote)
  5. Cost for import process & delivery cost from port to your factory ( you prepare )
  6. Warehouse buildings of raw materials and finished products ( we can quote & you can prepare )
  7. Office building & decoration ( you prepare )
  8. Foundation ( you prepare )
  9. Installation :
    • we send engineers ( we quote )
    • our engieners round-tickets, daily accommodation ( you prepare)
    • you prepare a team with 6-10 workers. ( you prepare )
    • installation tools ( we can quote & you can prepare )
  10. Road in factory ( you prepare )

So, you can make your budget according to these items.

For the daily operation cost and return of the fish feed pellet production line, the time required is different in different countries, but you can calculate it based on 3 main parts:

  • Raw material cost
  • Electricity cost
  • Labor cost

About raw materials:

  • First, you can save this part of the cost by buying and storing more when the price is lower.
  • Second, you can also save costs by using seasonal raw materials to make a suitable formula.

About electricity cost:

The operating power is 80% of the rated power. When you run the whole system, the electricity cost is almost fixed, this part will be determined by the local electricity price.

Therefore, it is very important to choose a good equipment manufacturer. A higher quality fish feed production line must meet the following four points at the same time:

  1. operational safety
  2. cost reduction technologies
  3. optimal power consumption
  4. optimal man power requirement.

About labor cost:

you can calculate daily salary based on the local wage level.

Floating fish feed production line uses water, boiler, and the consumption is around 50% of hourly feed capacity.

After appropriate adjustment, the process of fish feed production line can be used to process pet feed or other feed types, but it needs to be optimized according to the characteristics of the product. The following is a specific analysis:

1. Process versatility

The core equipment of fish feed production line (crushing, mixing, conditioning, granulation/expansion, cooling, packaging, etc.) is similar to the infrastructure of pet feed and other feed production lines, and has the potential for cross-category production.

2. Key adjustment points

(1) Raw material adaptability:

Fish feed often uses high-protein raw materials (fish meal, soybean meal), while pet feed may need to add meat by-products, fruit and vegetable fibers, etc., and the crushing fineness (such as ultra-fine grinding) and mixing uniformity need to be adjusted.

Other feeds (such as livestock and poultry feeds) may need to increase the proportion of grains, and the conditioning temperature needs to be optimized to avoid excessive starch gelatinization.

(2) Adjustment of puffing process:

Fish feed puffing requires high stability in water, while pet snacks (such as dog food) may pursue high puffing degree and special shape (bone/fish shape), which requires changing molds and adjusting temperature and pressure parameters.

The density control process of sinking fish feed is different from that of floating pet feed.

(3) Functional requirements:

Pet feed often needs to add attractants and health ingredients (such as probiotics), and a post-spraying system is required (to avoid high temperature damage to active substances).

Aquatic feed may need to enhance water resistance, while livestock and poultry feed pays more attention to particle hardness.

3. Equipment upgrade suggestions

Expansion module: add ultrafine grinder, liquid addition system, twin-screw extruder (adapt to high meat content formula).

Flexible design: The production line has reserved interfaces to facilitate switching of product categories (such as changing the ring die aperture and adjusting the cooling air volume).

Many manufacturers have successfully produced high-end pet food (such as high-meat dog food and cat food), special feed (such as amphibian and reptile feed, ornamental fish feed), functional livestock and poultry feed (such as nursery pig pellet feed), etc. through the transformation of fish feed production lines.

The fish feed production line has cross-category production capabilities, but the process parameters need to be adjusted according to the target product, and modular equipment needs to be added when necessary. We can provide you with process adaptability assessment and transformation solutions to maximize the value of existing production lines!

Our fish feed production line is mainly used for processing floating fish feed, sunken fish feed, ornamental fish feed and special fish feed. Depending on the process, it can also be said that our fish feed production line is mainly used for processing puffed fish feed and pellet fish feed.

Our fish feed extruder machine, fish feed pelletizer machine and conplete fish feed plant program ensures the fish food pellets achieve these properties; giving it the appropriate sinking attributes necessary to deliver the food to the right location in the water where each of the different species of marine life eats.

Depending on the types of fish feeds, sinking feeds can be made on both pelleting and extrusion systems. Pellet mills can only make fast sinking feeds. For example, milkfish feeds are still common to be made on pelleting lines thanks to advancements in pre-conditioning and post-conditioning technology. However, extruder offers more products characteristics from fast sinking, slow sinking, and floating.

Our fish feed plant solutions are simple and effective. We strive to be a "one-stop fish feed plant manufacturer" supplying all your needs.

Our fish feed production lines are tailor-made to suit the specific requirements of fish feed manufacturers, whether it is our extensive knowledge or expert feed engineering along with individual fish food machines, complete fish feed processing lines, or spare parts and service availability.

Whether it's sink or float, RICHI fish feed machine and fish feed plant will keep your aqua feed pelleting production afloat. The extruding and pelleting systems combine to perfect product density and sinking speed so your fish food pellets is always a big splash.

With the rapid development of the aquaculture industry, traditional aquaculture methods are far from meeting fish feed manufacturers' needs. The requirements for fish food pellets are not only nutritionally balanced, the fish food pellets is stable in the water, and will not pollute the water quality, etc.

Put forward stricter requirements on the environmental quality of fish survival. The high protein fish pellets produced by the fish feed pelleting machine is hard pellets, and the other is the fish feed extruder machine, and the processed pellet for fish is soft pellets.

1. Crushing section

Crushing with our fish feed crushing machine, we firstly break the raw materials into smaller pieces, for an efficient pellet making. This is done by fast-moving rotating hammers within the crushing chamber.

To further reduce the size, the materials are run through a rapid airflow of very high pressure, breaking the materials into much smaller pieces. A fish feed hammer mill is therefore necessary for fish feed raw materials grinding in a fish feed plant.

2. Batching and mixing section

The crushed materials which are now in powdered form should be thoroughly mixed to get a fish feed pellet that is nutritional and of high quality. One crucial part of the mixing process is shearing and convection, and this mixing effect is achieved with our fish feed mixer machine which has a twin ribbon and a single shaft.

3. First ingredients and mixing system

The first ingredient is mainly the preparation of popular raw materials, that is, the preparation of relatively large materials in the formula. This fish feed mill process is mainly completed by the electronic batching scale.

The single-shaft horizontal ribbon mixer for fish feed can be used for the first mixing, and the grease addition system must be considered on the fish feed mixer equipment.

4. Secondary batching and mixing system

Due to the low food intake of aquatic animals, short digestive tract, and poor digestion ability, the aquatic feed requires a very fine particle size, and the uniformity of the feed can be reflected in a smaller range, which also requires the aquatic feed to have a finer particle size.

Therefore, a fine pulverization process must be used. In the secondary pulverization process, the mixed materials are lifted by a hoist and then enter the warehouse to be pulverized, and then enter the micro pulverizer.

The cleaned materials are subjected to secondary batching and mixing. Various raw materials enter the secondary mixer after secondary batching. There is an artificial feeding port above the secondary mixer, which is mainly used for the addition of trace additives. At the same time, there is a liquid addition device on the mixer for the addition of grease.

5. Extruding/pelletizing section

The mixed raw materials for fish feed production are compressed into desired shapes and fish pellet sizes with the fish feed machine (fish feed extruder machine or fish feed pellet machine).

For a cheap, easy-to-operate, yet reliable fish feed making machine for a small-scale or medium-scale fish feed plant, the dry type fish feed extruder is highly recommended. For large fish feed factories however, the wet type feed extruder that has a conditioner will be able to produce in large quantity, a high quality pellet for fish.

6. Drying section

When the feed material run through the fish feed pellet making machine or fish feed extruder, it becomes hot and has moisture in it, hence the need to lower its temperature and dry it off.

An ideal fish food pellets drying can be achieved with a mesh belt dryer which is simple structured, not difficult to install and easy to maintain. This important fish feed mill equipment that must be included in the fish feed production line of a fish feed mill.

7. Oil Spraying section

The good taste and nice smell of the end product is owed to the Oil Spraying Machine. This equipment rotates with high speed, spraying atomized oil on both surfaces of the fish food pellets. Excess oil during this process is then recycled through a special filter.

8. Pellets cooling section

When the temperature of the oil-sprayed fish food pellets increases, they become soft, and can easily break. To avoid loss in this regard, the fish food pellets must be cooled, and are consequently hardened. The cooling type adopted by most fish feed manufacturing plants is the counter flow cooler where the fish feed pellets are in opposite direction to the air cooling them.

9. Pellets Packaging section

There are several packaging machines perfect for weighing and bagging finished fish food pellets. Such fish feed mill machines can help you reduce labor intensity, increase your production, meet hygiene requirements and satisfy large scale needs of your fish feed pellet plant.

This packaged fish food pellets would be in sealed bags and ready for storage or further transportation.

Our core competencies, leading technologies, and international business units work together in perfect unison. The RICHI staff commitment and dynamics truly distinguish us from other fish feed plant suppliers.
