This is a project about a shrimp feed pellet making machine in Vietnam. The SZLH420 was chosen to produce juvenile and grow-out shrimp sinking feed with a pellet diameter of 2–3.5 mm, designed for pond-based feeding systems prevalent in Vietnam. This size ensures optimal feed consumption by shrimp while minimizing wastage and maintaining high feed conversion ratios.
This is a project about a shrimp feed pellet making machine in Vietnam. Vietnam is among the top global producers of shrimp, especially the Pacific white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei), which dominates export markets in the United States, Japan, and the European Union. Aquaculture operations in the Mekong Delta region rely heavily on high-quality feed to optimize shrimp growth, survival rates, and pond water quality.
In this scenario, a mid-sized shrimp feed manufacturer in Can Tho Province sought to upgrade its production capacity by adding a single SZLH420 shrimp feed pellet machine from RICHI Machinery. The client previously relied on a small, outdated pellet machine that produced inconsistent pellets prone to disintegration in pond water. The primary motivation for purchasing a single machine instead of a full production line was to test the performance of high-quality sinking shrimp feed production and gradually scale operations without excessive upfront costs.
The SZLH420 was chosen to produce juvenile and grow-out shrimp sinking feed with a pellet diameter of 2–3.5 mm, designed for pond-based feeding systems prevalent in Vietnam. This size ensures optimal feed consumption by shrimp while minimizing wastage and maintaining high feed conversion ratios.
Name:
shrimp feed equipment
Country:
Vietnam
Date:
2025
Capacity:
1.5–2.5
Model:
SZLH420
Power:
110 kW
Finished Pellet Diameter:
1.5–4 mm
Feeder Power :
1.5 kW
For the client’s intended production scale and local raw material availability, RICHI recommended the SZLH420 single-machine solution. Its main parameters are:
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Main Motor Power (kW) | 110 |
| Feeder Power (kW) | 1.5 |
| Conditioner Power (kW) | 7.5 (customizable triple-layer steam + water + mechanical mixing conditioner) |
| Ring Die Diameter (mm) | 420 |
| Finished Pellet Diameter (mm) | 1.5–4 |
| Production Capacity (T/H) | 1.5–2.5 |
The client selected a triple-layer conditioner, including steam injection, water addition, and mechanical mixing, ensuring perfect starch gelatinization and uniform moisture distribution. This conditioner matches the most advanced industry standards, delivering dense, sinking pellets suitable for Vietnam’s warm, humid pond environments.
The single-machine setup allows the client to focus on improving pellet quality while keeping operational costs manageable. This flexible configuration also enables the integration of the SZLH420 into a future complete production line if expansion is needed.
Vietnamese shrimp feed manufacturers primarily utilize a mix of locally available and imported raw materials. For this project, the feed formulation included:
The SZLH420 shrimp feed pellet making machine efficiently processes these ingredients, producing uniform sinking pellets that retain nutrients and maintain integrity in pond water, addressing a key challenge for aquaculture operators in Vietnam.
The SZLH420 is dedicated to producing sinking shrimp feed, particularly suited for juvenile and grow-out stages in pond-based shrimp farms.
Key advantages of the machine for this client include:
It is important to note that the machine cannot produce floating feed, which is consistent with the client’s pond-based feeding requirements.
This single-machine approach aligns with the operational scale and business strategy of mid-sized Vietnamese feed manufacturers.
These advanced features ensure high-quality production, reduced downtime, and consistent pellet performance, critical for competitive shrimp feed manufacturing.
The SZLH420 was shipped via sea freight to Ho Chi Minh City Port, the major industrial and aquaculture port serving southern Vietnam. Sea transportation ensures cost-effectiveness and safe delivery of heavy machinery such as ring die pelletizers and shrimp feed pellet machines.
This service ensures the client can maximize production efficiency and product quality from day one.
The SZLH420 single-machine setup demonstrates that even mid-sized feed producers can achieve high-quality feed output without investing in a complete production line immediately.
Vietnam’s shrimp farming sector continues to expand, driven by export demand and improved aquaculture practices. Investing in a high-performance SZLH420 shrimp feed pellet making machine allows feed manufacturers to produce premium sinking feed, trial innovative formulations, and respond to market demand growth.
The single-machine approach offers a cost-effective, flexible solution that can be scaled into a full shrimp feed production line as the business grows, ensuring a high return on investment.
The SZLH420 shrimp feed pellet making machine in Vietnam illustrates how a single, high-quality machine can significantly improve feed quality, operational efficiency, and pond productivity. Equipped with triple-layer conditioning, ring die pelletizing, and professional RICHI support, it enables medium-sized feed producers to produce uniform, nutrient-rich sinking shrimp feed suitable for pond aquaculture.
