This is a project about a shrimp feed pellet mill in Thailand. A regional aquaculture cooperative, primarily producing shrimp feed for multiple small-to-medium-sized shrimp farms, decided to purchase a single SZLH350 shrimp feed pellet mill from RICHI Machinery.
This is a project about a shrimp feed pellet mill in Thailand. Thailand is one of the world’s leading shrimp-producing nations, particularly in the farming of Pacific white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) and black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon). The country’s shrimp farming industry is concentrated in the southern provinces, such as Songkhla, Nakhon Si Thammarat, and Chumphon, where aquaculture contributes significantly to both local economies and export markets.
In this context, a regional aquaculture cooperative, primarily producing shrimp feed for multiple small-to-medium-sized shrimp farms, decided to purchase a single SZLH350 shrimp feed pellet mill from RICHI Machinery. The cooperative’s original equipment was outdated, producing irregular pellets that were prone to breaking in pond water, causing high feed loss and inconsistent shrimp growth. The purchase of a single machine rather than a full production line was a strategic decision: the cooperative wanted to upgrade feed quality, experiment with new feed formulations, and improve sinking pellet production before committing to a complete shrimp feed production line investment.
The SZLH350 shrimp feed pellet machine was selected for producing sinking grower shrimp feed with a pellet diameter of 2–3 mm, which is ideal for Thailand’s pond-based aquaculture systems. This diameter ensures optimal feed intake for shrimp, minimizing wastage and maintaining high feed conversion ratios.

| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Main Motor Power (kW) | 55 |
| Feeder Power (kW) | 1.5 |
| Conditioner Power (kW) | 4 (triple-layer steam, water, and mechanical mixing conditioner) |
| Ring Die Diameter (mm) | 350 |

The cooperative opted for a customized triple-layer conditioner, integrating steam injection, precise water addition, and mechanical mixing. This advanced conditioning ensures uniform moisture distribution, optimal starch gelatinization, and improved pellet hardness, making it comparable to the most advanced shrimp feed pelletizing technologies in Southeast Asia.
The SZLH350 shrimp feed pellet mill in Thailand provides operational flexibility, allowing the cooperative to focus on pellet quality improvement while retaining the option to integrate the machine into a complete production line in the future.
The SZLH350 shrimp feed pellet mill in Thailand effectively processes these ingredients, producing uniform sinking pellets that retain nutrients, resist breakage, and remain stable in pond water—a critical requirement for shrimp aquaculture in Thailand.
The SZLH350 shrimp feed pellet mill in Thailand is designed specifically for sinking shrimp feed production, including:
The machine ensures:
It is crucial to note that this single-machine setup cannot produce floating feed, aligning perfectly with pond-based aquaculture practices prevalent in Thailand.
This approach is especially suitable for medium-sized feed producers and cooperatives in Thailand, who need reliable pellet quality without large upfront investments.
The SZLH350 shrimp feed pellet mill was shipped via sea freight to Laem Chabang Port, Thailand’s primary industrial and aquaculture hub. Sea transport ensures safe and cost-effective delivery of heavy machinery like ring die pelletizers and shrimp feed pellet mills.
Thailand’s shrimp farming industry continues to grow, driven by global export demand and improved aquaculture practices. Investing in the SZLH350 shrimp feed pellet mill allows producers to manufacture premium sinking feed, trial new formulations, and meet market demands efficiently.
The single-machine strategy offers a cost-effective, flexible solution that can scale into a full production line as the cooperative’s operations expand, ensuring a high return on investment.
The SZLH350 shrimp feed pellet mill in Thailand illustrates how a single, high-quality machine can transform 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 nutrient-rich sinking shrimp feed suitable for Thailand’s aquaculture systems.
RICHI Machinery’s shrimp feed pellet mills, ring die pelletizers, and pellet presses are ideal for Thai producers seeking reliable, durable, and scalable feed production solutions.
