The SZLH350 shrimp feed making machine in Ecuador was intended to process sinking shrimp feed for juvenile and grow-out shrimp ponds, with pellet diameters ranging from 2–3 mm.
This is a project about shrimp feed making machine in Ecuador. Ecuador ranks among the top shrimp-producing countries in the world, primarily farming Pacific white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) along its coastal regions. The country’s aquaculture sector has grown rapidly over the last two decades, driven by high international demand for export-quality shrimp. As the industry expands, feed quality becomes a critical factor in ensuring optimal growth, disease resistance, and feed conversion ratios.
In this context, a mid-sized shrimp feed manufacturer in Ecuador decided to purchase a single SZLH350 shrimp feed making machine from RICHI Machinery. The company operates primarily in the Guayas coastal region, where small- to medium-scale feed producers need reliable equipment to produce sinking shrimp feed.
Unlike purchasing a complete shrimp feed production line, this project involved a single-machine setup. The client aimed to upgrade their existing feed production capabilities, ensuring consistent pellet quality without committing to a full-scale line. The SZLH350 shrimp feed making machine in Ecuador was intended to process sinking shrimp feed for juvenile and grow-out shrimp ponds, with pellet diameters ranging from 2–3 mm. This machine complements existing equipment, allowing the manufacturer to improve feed quality while maintaining operational flexibility.

The client opted for a triple-layer conditioner, representing the most advanced configuration in the shrimp feed industry. This conditioner integrates steam, water, and mechanical mixing, ensuring uniform moisture distribution, improved starch gelatinization, and optimal pellet binding. For Ecuadorian shrimp feed, this technology guarantees dense, water-stable pellets, essential for pond-based aquaculture where feed retention and water quality are crucial.
The SZLH350 shrimp feed pellet machine’s production capacity aligns with the client’s medium-scale operation, providing efficient feed processing without over-investing in a full-scale line. Its modular design also allows future integration into a larger feed production system.
The SZLH350 can process these ingredients efficiently. Its ring die pelletizer and triple-layer conditioner produce sinking shrimp feed that remains stable in water for several hours, reducing nutrient leaching and improving feed conversion rates.
It's important to note that this machine cannot produce floating feed, as its design is specifically for sinking pellets. This aligns perfectly with Ecuadorian pond-based shrimp farming needs.
For Ecuadorian clients, RICHI delivers equipment primarily via sea freight. For this project, the SZLH350 was shipped to Puerto Bolívar, Ecuador’s main port for industrial equipment imports. Sea freight ensures safe transport of heavy machinery like ring die pellet machines and pellet presses while keeping logistics cost-effective.
Training covered preventive maintenance, operational safety, and troubleshooting, enabling the client to maintain long-term performance of the SZLH350.
Ecuador’s shrimp aquaculture industry continues to grow, fueled by export demand and improved farming techniques. Investing in a high-quality shrimp feed making machine like the SZLH350 enables mid-sized feed manufacturers to produce premium sinking feed, trial innovative formulations, and prepare for future production line expansion.
Single-auqa feed machine solutions offer a low-risk pathway to upgrade feed quality while maintaining flexibility and operational control. With professional support from RICHI Machinery, clients can confidently scale their operations as market demand increases.
The SZLH350 shrimp feed making machine in Ecuador illustrates how a single, well-chosen machine can transform feed production for mid-sized manufacturers. With advanced ring die pellet technology, a custom triple-layer conditioner, and professional support from RICHI Machinery, the client improved pellet quality, operational efficiency, and future scalability.
