This is a project about a floating fish pellet machine in Israel. The customer behind this story has been running a mid-sized tilapia farm for years. Originally, all feed was purchased from large local feed companies. However, due to price fluctuations and a desire to control feed quality more tightly, this farmer decided to start producing a portion of his feed in-house.

This is a project about a floating fish pellet machine in Israel. This project features a family-owned aquaculture business located near the coastal region of Israel, where both inland aquaculture and marine fish farming have seen remarkable growth over the past decade.
Israel’s advanced water recirculation systems, warm climate, and strong focus on innovation make it a fertile ground for modern fish farming — especially for species like tilapia and sea bass, which are staples in both the domestic market and Middle Eastern exports.
The customer behind this story has been running a mid-sized tilapia farm for years. Originally, all feed was purchased from large local feed companies. However, due to price fluctuations and a desire to control feed quality more tightly, this farmer decided to start producing a portion of his feed in-house.
After setting up basic mixing and grinding equipment, he realized that to truly add value and keep fish healthy while minimizing water pollution, he needed floating fish feed — something he could not produce with a traditional feed pelletizer.
This is why he turned to RICHI Machinery to acquire a 1 t/h floating fish pellet machine as a standalone upgrade to his setup. The goal? To produce high-quality, buoyant feed for his tilapia and, eventually, explore producing small batches of custom feed for other local fish farms.
Name:
floating fish feed extruder

2025
Capacity:
0.5–1.0 t/h
Model:
SPHS75×2
Main Motor Power:
55 kW

Differential Conditioner Power:
11 kW
Following a detailed consultation process and an assessment of his farm’s daily feed requirements, the customer decided to purchase the RICHI SPHS75×2 twin screw floating fish feed extruder. Here is the key specification for this project:
The SPHS75×2 twin screw fish feed extruder is compact yet powerful enough to handle the farm’s current needs, with enough room to scale production as his market expands. It connects directly to his existing hammer mill and horizontal mixer, forming an efficient, cost-effective feed processing unit.
When producing floating fish pellets in Israel, farmers commonly rely on a combination of local crops and imported proteins. This customer’s chosen feed formula for tilapia mainly consists of:
This balanced formula ensures the extruded feed floats well while delivering optimum digestibility, protein content, and water stability.
The new floating fish pellet machine in Israel transforms the customer’s business model in several ways:
In short, what used to be impossible with a standard pellet press is now routine with a twin screw floating fish pellet extruder.
Many farmers new to feed processing think they must invest in a complete production line. However, for this Israeli customer, starting with a single floating fish pellet machine in Israel makes better sense:
Buying a single floating fish pellet machine in Israel — specifically a robust floating fish pelletizer — gives him immediate benefits while leaving the door open for gradual expansion.
Israel’s fish farming community increasingly prefers floating feed because it reduces pond waste, improves feeding efficiency, and supports modern recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS). As water conservation and sustainability continue to be critical in Israel, floating feed helps keep systems clean and healthy.
By producing his own floating feed, this farmer:
In a country where precision agriculture is king, using a high-quality floating fish pellet machine in Israel aligns perfectly with the push for efficiency and sustainability.
The SPHS75×2 floating fish pellet machine in Israel is more than a simple extruder. It’s a precision-engineered twin screw system designed for maximum flexibility and long-term durability. Key highlights include:
Compared to older fish feed pellet presses, the floating fish pellet machine delivers a clear advantage when consistent buoyancy and nutrient retention matter.
While the initial plan focuses on tilapia, the customer is already looking ahead. By adjusting ingredients and extrusion parameters, he plans to:
This flexibility means the SPHS75×2 floating fish pelletizer is not just a one-purpose machine — it’s a gateway to multiple income streams.
RICHI Machinery provided more than just a box with a motor. For this Israeli project, RICHI delivered:
This complete support package builds trust and reduces downtime, which is especially valuable for first-time extruder owners.
In Israel’s competitive and tech-savvy aquaculture sector, controlling feed quality can make or break a business. The SPHS75×2 floating fish pellet machine in Israel puts power back in the hands of the farmer, turning local crops and protein sources into stable, nutritious, and eco-friendly floating fish feed.
With RICHI’s professional support, durable build quality, and proven performance, this investment is not just about feed — it’s about securing the farm’s long-term sustainability and profitability.
