This is a project regarding a belt dryer machine in Belarus. A medium-sized feed mill located near Minsk recently purchased a RICHI belt dryer machine in Belarus to improve the drying process of their fish feed pellets. The client previously relied on a small, traditional batch dryer, which caused uneven drying and high pellet breakage, affecting feed quality and shelf life.
This is a project regarding a belt dryer machine in Belarus. Belarus has been steadily developing its aquaculture industry, with fish farms producing trout, carp, and pike-perch for domestic consumption and export. High-quality fish feed is essential for improving growth rates and maintaining fish health.
A medium-sized feed mill located near Minsk recently purchased a RICHI belt dryer machine in Belarus to improve the drying process of their fish feed pellets. The client previously relied on a small, traditional batch dryer, which caused uneven drying and high pellet breakage, affecting feed quality and shelf life.
The client decided to invest in a standalone belt dryer rather than a full fish feed production line to upgrade their drying capabilities independently. This allows them to integrate the new dryer with existing fish feed extruders, mixer machines, and cooling systems without a large-scale overhaul of the entire production line.
Name:
fish feed dryer
Country:
Belarus
Date:
2025
Capacity:
Flexible
Model:
DHG-500
Main Motor Power:
50 + 2.2*2 + 0.75 kW
Mesh Belt Layers:
5
Drying Area:
21 m²
The customer is a medium-sized feed manufacturer catering to local fish farms producing both freshwater and aquaculture species. Daily production ranges between 6–8 tons of fish feed.
The main motivations for purchasing the belt dryer include:
By purchasing the RICHI belt dryer, the client can ensure consistent product quality and reduce operational losses, making it a cost-effective investment.
Fish feed in Belarus commonly includes:
The feed pellets enter the belt dryer machine in Belarus with a moisture content of 18–20% and are dried down to 10–12% to maintain pellet integrity and prevent spoilage. Uniform drying is particularly crucial for floating pellets used in trout farming, as inconsistent moisture can lead to sinking feed or pellet disintegration in water.
Considering the client’s production scale and feed types, they selected the DHG-500 electric belt dryer machine, which provides adequate drying area while ensuring energy-efficient operation.
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Heating Method | Electric heating |
| Power | 50 + 2.2*2 + 0.75 kW |
| Mesh Belt Layers | 5 |
| Belt Width | 1.0 m |
| Drying Area | 21 m² |
The five-layer mesh belt design guarantees even heat distribution, reducing the risk of pellet breakage. Electric heating provides precise temperature control, which is vital for fish feed pellets containing high-protein ingredients sensitive to heat.
The belt dryer machine was shipped via sea freight to the Port of Klaipeda, Lithuania, the nearest port with established logistics connections for Belarus. RICHI Machinery ensured secure packaging and documentation to facilitate smooth customs clearance and on-time delivery.
RICHI’s professional team provided full installation and commissioning support:
The DHG-500 belt dryer machine in Belarus was fully operational within one week, allowing the client to resume production quickly with minimal disruption.
Since installation, the belt dryer machine in Belarus has delivered several benefits:
The client noted a marked reduction in fines and improved uniformity of pellet size, which is critical for floating feed performance in aquaculture systems.
The client shared their experience:
"We are very pleased with the DHG-500 belt dryer. Pellets are dried evenly, and breakage has decreased significantly. RICHI’s team was professional and helped with installation and training. We can now confidently supply high-quality feed to our fish farms."
Encouraged by the success of this project, the client plans to:
The RICHI DHG-500 belt dryer machine in Belarus showcases the effectiveness of a standalone drying solution for fish feed production. Benefits include:
