This is a project about a shrimp feed pellet machine in India. The client already possessed basic grinding and mixing equipment but wanted to improve pellet quality, water stability, and nutrient retention. Unlike a full production line, the single-machine solution allows them to trial high-quality shrimp feed production and gradually scale operations without excessive initial investment.
This is a project about a shrimp feed pellet machine in India. India has one of the largest aquaculture industries in Asia, with a significant focus on shrimp farming along the east coast, particularly in Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Odisha. The growing domestic consumption and export demand for Pacific white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) have driven local feed producers to invest in modern and efficient feed processing equipment.
In this project, a regional shrimp feed production line unit in Andhra Pradesh opted to purchase a single SZLH508 shrimp feed pellet machine from RICHI Machinery. The client already possessed basic grinding and mixing equipment but wanted to improve pellet quality, water stability, and nutrient retention. Unlike a full production line, the single-machine solution allows them to trial high-quality shrimp feed production and gradually scale operations without excessive initial investment.
The SZLH508 was specifically selected to produce juvenile and grow-out sinking shrimp feed with a pellet diameter of 2.5–4 mm, optimized for pond-based farming systems. This setup improves feed conversion rates while maintaining the nutritional integrity of the pellets, which is critical for competitive shrimp farming operations.

The client chose a triple-layer conditioner, featuring steam injection, water addition, and mechanical mixing for optimal feed conditioning. This is particularly important in India, where tropical climates can influence moisture content and pellet durability. The triple-layer conditioner ensures dense, sinking pellets that retain water stability for pond feeding.
By opting for a single-machine approach, the client can maintain operational flexibility, produce trial batches of different feed formulations, and evaluate feed performance before committing to a complete production line.
The SZLH508 shrimp feed pellet machine handles these ingredients efficiently, with the ring die pelletizer and triple-layer conditioner producing uniform sinking pellets that minimize nutrient leaching and maintain pond water quality.
It is essential to note that this machine cannot produce floating feed, which aligns perfectly with the client’s pond-based feeding systems.
RICHI Machinery shipped the SZLH508 shrimp feed pellet machine via sea freight, arriving at Visakhapatnam Port, one of the primary industrial ports serving India’s east coast aquaculture hubs. Sea freight provides a cost-effective, safe, and efficient method for transporting heavy machinery, including ring die pelletizers and shrimp feed pellet machines.
Training also covered routine maintenance, troubleshooting, and operational safety.
India’s shrimp aquaculture continues to grow due to rising exports and improved farming practices. Investing in a high-quality SZLH508 shrimp feed pellet machine allows producers to deliver premium sinking feed, trial new formulations, and prepare for market expansion.
Single-machine setups offer low-risk, cost-effective upgrades, improving feed quality while maintaining operational flexibility. With RICHI’s support, clients can confidently scale up their production as market demand increases.
The SZLH508 shrimp feed pellet machine in India illustrates how a single, high-quality machine can enhance feed quality and operational efficiency for medium-scale producers. Equipped with a triple-layer conditioner, ring die technology, and RICHI professional support, it ensures reliable, nutrient-rich sinking shrimp feed production.
RICHI Machinery’s shrimp feed pellet mills, ring die pelletizers, and pellet presses are ideal solutions for Indian feed producers seeking efficiency, durability, and operational flexibility.
