This is a project about fish food pellet machine in Côte d'Ivoire. The machine's primary purpose in this project is to produce extruded sinking and floating fish feed pellets, tailored for species predominant in the local aquaculture industry, enhancing feed utilization and farm productivity.

This is a project about fish food pellet machine in Côte d'Ivoire. In Côte d'Ivoire, a rapidly expanding aquaculture sector is driving demand for high-quality fish feed. A mid-sized fish feed manufacturing enterprise, serving local fish farms cultivating tilapia and catfish, identified a pressing need to upgrade their pellet production capacity to meet growing market demand. The client sought a reliable and efficient solution to improve pellet quality and throughput without replacing their entire fish feed production line.
Instead of investing in a full-scale feed production line, this customer chose to purchase a single fish food pellet machine, a standalone dual-screw extruder, specifically for pelletizing extruded fish feed. This strategic decision was motivated by their existing grinding and mixing equipment functioning well, while the pelletizing section was outdated and limiting product quality and capacity.
The machine's primary purpose in this project is to produce extruded sinking and floating fish feed pellets, tailored for species predominant in the local aquaculture industry, enhancing feed utilization and farm productivity.

Considering Côte d'Ivoire’s aquaculture industry scale and typical production demands, the client selected the RICHI SPHS75x2 floating fish feed machine, suitable for small to medium production volumes.
The fish feed extruder specifications are:
This model’s capacity aligns with the client's current production scale and offers flexibility to increase output with minor future upgrades.
Raw materials used in Côte d'Ivoire fish feed formulations often include:
Given local availability and cost factors, this fish food pellet machine processes a feed formula consisting approximately of 30% fish meal, 25% soybean meal, 30% cassava and corn flour, and the remainder composed of vitamins and binders. This balanced formula caters to tilapia and catfish, two widely farmed species in Côte d'Ivoire.
The dual-screw extruder type fish food pellet machine in Côte d'Ivoire is critical for transforming raw materials into high-quality extruded fish feed pellets. This process involves cooking, shaping, and texturizing the feed, resulting in pellets with enhanced water stability, digestibility, and palatability.
Key benefits for the client include:
This fish food pellet machine in Côte d'Ivoire also offers potential flexibility to process feed for other aquaculture species, including shrimp, and even explore producing high-value extruded feed for poultry, given its design adaptability.
RICHI Machinery's dual-screw extruder is well-suited for Côte d'Ivoire's aquaculture industry because:
The client praised RICHI's consultative approach, which included tailored recommendations to optimize pellet quality and production efficiency based on local raw materials and market requirements.
Côte d'Ivoire's aquaculture sector, though emerging, is growing steadily, driven by government initiatives and rising protein demand. The need for quality aquafeed products is crucial to sustain fish production growth.
The demand for extruded fish feed pellets is increasing because they:
This fish food pellet machine in Côte d'Ivoire project fits well within the broader trend of feed mill modernization in West Africa, where producers seek advanced extrusion technology like RICHI's floating pellet machine to stay competitive.
To ensure project success, RICHI Machinery provided:
This full support package gave the client confidence and operational independence.
This case illustrates how a single fish food pellet machine from RICHI can significantly enhance feed production quality and efficiency without requiring a full plant overhaul. The SPHS75x2 fish food pellet machine's performance and adaptability make it an excellent fit for Côte d'Ivoire's growing aquaculture needs.
