This is a project about a fish feed dryer in Indonesia. This investment was intended to enhance drying efficiency, improve pellet quality, and integrate seamlessly with existing pellet mills and mixers without requiring a full line replacement.
This is a project about a fish feed dryer in Indonesia. Indonesia is one of the leading aquaculture producers in Southeast Asia, with shrimp and tilapia farming representing a significant portion of the industry. Local feed mills are increasingly focused on producing high-quality, nutritionally balanced pellets to meet the rising demand from commercial farms.
A medium-sized feed mill located in East Java recently invested in a RICHI fish feed dryer in Indonesia. Unlike acquiring a complete production line, the client opted for a standalone dryer machine. Their previous drying method relied on a small-scale feed dryer, which struggled with uneven drying and high pellet breakage, particularly for oil-rich shrimp feed.
This investment was intended to enhance drying efficiency, improve pellet quality, and integrate seamlessly with existing pellet mills and mixers without requiring a full line replacement.
Name:
feed drying machine
Country:
Indonesia
Date:
2025
Capacity:
10–12T/D
Model:
DHG-500
Power:
50 + 2.2*2 + 0.75 kW
Mesh Belt Layers:
5
Drying Area:
21 m²
The client operates a medium-scale feed mill producing around 10–12 tons of feed daily, mainly catering to shrimp farms along Java’s coast and freshwater tilapia farms inland. The customer chose the RICHI fish feed dryer machine for several reasons:
By focusing on a single high-quality dryer, the client could quickly address bottlenecks and enhance feed quality while minimizing investment costs.
Indonesian aquafeed typically includes:
The pellets enter the dryer at around 18–20% moisture, and the target is 10–12%, ensuring stability during storage and transport. Uniform drying is especially critical for shrimp feed, which contains high fat content and is prone to sticking or deformation if not properly dried.
For this medium-scale operation, the client selected the DHG-500 electric fish feed dryer machine from RICHI. This model matched the production scale, drying area requirements, and pellet characteristics typical in Indonesia.
| 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 ensures uniform drying of shrimp and tilapia feed pellets, reduces fines and breakage, and maintains pellet nutritional integrity.
The dryer was shipped via sea freight to the Port of Surabaya, Indonesia’s primary industrial port for East Java. RICHI Machinery handled logistics, including packaging, shipping, and customs clearance, ensuring the equipment arrived safely and on schedule.
RICHI’s team provided comprehensive support during installation:
The dryer was successfully installed, enabling the feed mill to resume full production within a short timeframe.
The DHG-500 fish feed dryer has delivered significant improvements:
The feed mill has reported improved customer satisfaction and strengthened its position in the local aquaculture market.
The client shared:
"The DHG-500 dryer has made a noticeable difference. Pellets are now consistently dried, and breakage during storage is minimal. RICHI’s installation and training were excellent, and the team was very responsive. This machine is a great investment for our feed mill."
Following the successful operation of the DHG-500 belt dryer, the feed mill plans to:
