2T/H Catfish Feed Production Machine in Indonesia

Why Purchase a Single Twin Screw Extruder Machine?

Choosing to purchase just the twin screw catfish feed production machine as a standalone unit rather than a complete fish feed production line had clear advantages for the client:

• Existing ancillary equipment (hammer mills, mixers, dryers) was adequate and well-maintained, so the focus was on upgrading pellet quality and capacity.
• The twin screw fish feed extruder provides superior processing capabilities compared to traditional pellet presses, especially for extruded feeds that require precise temperature and moisture control.
• By acquiring a single machine first, the client retained financial flexibility to expand their plant step-by-step.
• Extruded pellets offer higher nutritional availability, water stability, and pellet durability, critical for catfish feed quality in Indonesia’s aquaculture environment.

Machine Model and Specifications: Tailored to Indonesia's Aquafeed Production Needs

The client selected the SPHS120×2 twin screw catfish feed production machine for this project, which aligns well with their target output of 2 tons per hour. Below are the aqua feed machine's key specifications:

• Model: SPHS120×2
• Main Motor Power: 90 kW
• Screw Diameter: 120 mm
• Feeder Motor Power: 1.5 kW
• Conditioner Power: 11 kW (DC500-244)
• Differential Conditioner Power: 11 kW (DC500×400-300)
• Output Capacity: 1.5 - 2.0 tons per hour

This catfish feed production machine in Indonesia is well-suited for mid-capacity production runs common among Indonesian catfish feed manufacturers.

Typical Raw Materials for Catfish Feed in Indonesia

Indonesia’s aquafeed formulations for catfish commonly include a combination of locally available and imported ingredients:

• Cornmeal (40%): Energy-rich carbohydrate and pellet binder.
• Fishmeal (25%): High protein source essential for carnivorous catfish.
• Soybean meal (20%): Plant protein supplement supporting sustainable feed formulation.
• Rice bran (10%): Cost-effective energy source, abundant in Indonesia.
• Fish oil (3%): Omega-3 fatty acids promoting healthy growth.
• Vitamins and minerals (2%): Ensures balanced nutrition for optimal fish health.

This blend provides a well-balanced diet for fast-growing catfish, ensuring feed pellets with good water stability and palatability.

How the Twin Screw Extruder Enhances Catfish Feed Quality and Production

The RICHI twin screw catfish feed production machine greatly benefits the client's production process and feed quality:

• The extrusion technology ensures precise control of moisture, temperature, and shear, crucial for producing highly digestible extruded pellets with minimal nutrient loss.
• Extruded pellets have superior water stability, preventing rapid disintegration and feed wastage in ponds or tanks.
• The twin screw design of floating fish feed machine allows flexible processing of different raw materials and formulations, supporting product diversification.
• Pellet size and density are uniform, improving feed acceptance and conversion ratios by catfish.
• The robust construction and reliable operation reduce downtime and maintenance costs, maximizing plant efficiency.

Applications Beyond Catfish Feed: Versatility of the Twin Screw Extruder

While primarily purchased for catfish feed production, the twin screw catfish feed production machine in Indonesia offers flexibility to process other aquatic feeds, such as:

• Feed for tilapia and other freshwater species.
• Formulations incorporating local feed ingredients, including agricultural by-products.
• Potential for producing some types of extruded pet foods, although floating or sinking characteristics must be carefully designed.
• High-grade extruded feeds for poultry or livestock if needed, with formulation adjustments.

This versatility enables the client to adapt to market trends and expand product offerings.
