The client formulates feed primarily for tilapia and catfish, the two dominant species farmed in Malaysia. Typical protein content ranges between 28% to 35% crude protein, tailored to optimize fish growth while managing costs. The floating pellet machine in Malaysia processes these raw materials into buoyant pellets that maintain integrity during feeding, critical to reducing feed waste and improving farm profitability.
This is a project about floating pellet machine in Malaysia. In Malaysia’s vibrant aquaculture industry, a medium-sized fish feed manufacturing company sought to improve its pellet production capabilities. The client, a growing feed producer specializing in aquatic species such as tilapia, catfish, and freshwater prawns, decided to upgrade their pelletizing process by investing in a single floating pellet machine rather than a full production line.
The choice to purchase a standalone extruder was strategic: their existing grinding, mixing, and drying equipment remained effective, but the pelletizing section used an outdated pellet mill that constrained product quality and production efficiency. Rather than completely overhauling the entire line, the client opted for a cost-effective, high-quality floating pellet machine to replace the old pelletizer, thereby improving the extruded feed's durability, water stability, and overall performance.
This floating fish feed machine will produce extruded floating fish feed pellets, a preferred product type in Malaysia’s aquaculture sector due to its benefits in feed management and waste reduction. The project reflects a practical approach to modernization: leveraging advanced equipment where it impacts the process most, without interrupting the entire production flow.
Name:
fish feed machine
Country:
Malaysia
Date:
2025
Capacity:
1.5–2.0 tons per hour
Model:
SPHS120*2
Main motor power:
90 kW
Screw diameter:
120 mm
Modulator power:
11 kW
Considering Malaysia's typical feed mill scale and the client's production capacity target of approximately 1.5 to 2 tons per hour, the RICHI SPHS120*2 floating pellet machine was the most appropriate model.
This dual-screw fish feed extruder is renowned for its excellent raw material adaptability, stable output, and superior pellet quality — all crucial for the client’s feed requirements.
Key specifications of the selected floating pellet machine model include:
The SPHS120*2 floating pellet machine's design allows for efficient extrusion of complex feed formulas common in Malaysia, providing reliable throughput with consistent pellet size and excellent water stability.
Malaysia’s aquaculture feed industry uses a variety of raw materials based on local availability and cost considerations:
The client formulates feed primarily for tilapia and catfish, the two dominant species farmed in Malaysia. Typical protein content ranges between 28% to 35% crude protein, tailored to optimize fish growth while managing costs. The floating pellet machine in Malaysia processes these raw materials into buoyant pellets that maintain integrity during feeding, critical to reducing feed waste and improving farm profitability.
The floating pellet machine in Malaysia is dedicated solely to producing extruded floating fish feed pellets. Unlike standard pellet mills, which produce sinking or non-extruded pellets, this machine employs double-screw extrusion technology to cook, shape, and texturize feed, resulting in pellets that float and remain intact in water.
For this Malaysian client, the floating fish feed pellet making machine enhances the quality and consistency of fish feed pellets, which is essential for:
Besides fish feed, the flexibility of this floating pellet machine in Malaysia allows potential future expansion into producing shrimp feed or other aquatic species feed, as well as some high-grade extruded animal feeds. This versatility adds value by future-proofing the client’s investment.
The client’s confidence in RICHI Machinery stemmed from the company’s reputation for:
RICHI’s floating pellet machine in Malaysia proved to be a highly cost-effective solution for the client’s incremental modernization plan, delivering noticeable improvements in pellet quality and production efficiency.
Malaysia’s aquaculture sector is a significant part of the country’s food security and economic development strategy. With the demand for quality fish feed growing, especially floating feed that supports efficient and sustainable aquaculture practices, the market requires advanced processing equipment that can handle diverse formulations while ensuring product performance.
The selected floating pellet machine in Malaysia aligns perfectly with Malaysia’s current aquafeed trends, such as:
By investing in RICHI’s floating pellet machine, the client is positioned to meet these demands effectively, maintaining a competitive edge in the regional aquafeed market.
RICHI Machinery not only supplied the SPHS120*2 floating pellet machine but also delivered:
This full-spectrum support reassured the client about their investment and minimized operational risks.
This fish feed mill project exemplifies how a single floating pellet machine can upgrade a fish feed mill’s productivity and product quality without the cost and complexity of a full fish feed production line replacement. By choosing RICHI Machinery’s dual-screw extruder technology, the client improved pellet quality, enhanced water stability, and boosted production capacity aligned with their market requirements.
