This is a project about an aquarium fish feed extruder in South Africa. The client, operating a niche production facility primarily catering to aquarium enthusiasts, purchased this standalone extruder to replace an older pellet mill that lacked precision and flexibility for fine, uniform pellets.

This is a project about an aquarium fish feed extruder in South Africa. South Africa’s ornamental fish industry is flourishing, driven by increasing domestic and export demand for high-quality aquarium fish feed. A specialized aquafeed producer in the region decided to invest in a single 2t/h aquarium fish feed extruder to enhance their pelletizing capabilities and meet stricter quality standards.
The client, operating a niche production facility primarily catering to aquarium enthusiasts, purchased this standalone extruder to replace an older pellet mill that lacked precision and flexibility for fine, uniform pellets. The new extruder fits into their existing processing line, which includes raw material grinding and mixing equipment, allowing phased upgrades without a full fish feed production line overhaul.
