This is a project about small electric fish feed extruder machine in Iraq. The customer is an experienced fish farmer managing a 15-ton capacity tilapia and common carp farm near Mosul. His main goal was to improve the feed production process with a reliable, easy-to-operate fish feed extruder that fits his scale and budget.
This is a project about small electric fish feed extruder machine in Iraq. In recent years, Iraq's aquaculture sector has seen promising growth as the country works to enhance food security and reduce reliance on seafood imports. Small and medium fish farms, particularly those raising carp and tilapia, are expanding in rural and peri-urban areas. However, one major challenge these farms face is the limited availability of affordable, high-quality fish feed.
Most feed is imported or produced in small, inconsistent batches, leading to fluctuating prices and variable quality. To address these issues, a fish farm operator in northern Iraq decided to invest in a small electric fish feed extruder machine from RICHI Machinery. The aim was to produce custom floating pellets suited for local fish species, reduce feed costs, and gain better control over feed quality.
This purchase was a strategic step: rather than buying an entire fish feed production line, the customer opted for a single dry type fish feed extruder machine to integrate with existing milling and mixing equipment already owned on the farm. This allowed them to upgrade production capabilities without a massive upfront investment.

The customer is an experienced fish farmer managing a 15-ton capacity tilapia and common carp farm near Mosul. His main goal was to improve the feed production process with a reliable, easy-to-operate fish feed extruder that fits his scale and budget.
The old production setup included basic grinders and mixers, but no pelletizing equipment. The farm's previous "feed pellets" were often crumbled or sinking, causing poor feed conversion rates (FCR) and water quality issues. The purchase of the RICHI small electric fish feed extruder was to upgrade feed pellet quality with floating capability, optimized size, and improved nutrient retention.
After consulting with RICHI's technical team and considering the farm's daily feed requirements (approximately 0.5 tons per hour), the customer chose the DGP120-B dry type electric fish feed extruder.
Key parameters:
This small electric fish feed extruder machine in Iraq balanced production capacity with energy consumption, providing flexibility to scale output during peak seasons without overspending on power.
Based on Iraq's agricultural profile and feed availability, the farm formulated a fish feed recipe with:
This combination aimed to meet protein levels around 28-30%, ideal for tilapia growth stages. The extruder’s flexibility in processing mixed ingredients allows the farm to maintain consistent pellet quality with this blend.
The introduction of the RICHI fish feed extruder revolutionized the farm's feed production:
The farm's feed production flow includes:
This integration made the small electric fish feed extruder machine in Iraq a core part of the farm's feed production without requiring a full industrial line.
The RICHI small fish feed extruder's design meets the needs of emerging fish farms in Iraq by offering:
It provides a cost-effective way to boost feed quality and farm productivity without complex factory setups.
This project aligns with Iraq’s national efforts to promote sustainable agriculture and aquaculture. By empowering farmers with quality equipment like the small electric fish feed extruder machine in Iraq, more fish farms can:
This equipment investment contributes to the larger goal of enhancing local food security and rural economic development.
The farm owner plans to:
