This is a project about trout fish feed making machine in France. Before installing the SPHS120×2 extruder, the farm relied on bagged pellets from national suppliers. Now, with the new fish feed pelletizer, they have complete control over pellet expansion, cooking temperature, and nutritional precision.
This is a project about trout fish feed making machine in France. In the heart of rural France, where trout farming is both a tradition and a competitive business, a family-owned aquaculture company decided it was time to rethink how they handled their feed production. For years, this trout farm had relied entirely on purchasing commercial trout feed from major suppliers. However, increasing price volatility, stricter sustainability standards, and rising consumer demand for traceable, high-quality fish made them rethink this dependency.
Their main farm, located in a region famous for its clear spring-fed streams, produces premium rainbow trout for domestic supermarkets and some gourmet export markets. With a steady annual increase in production, the farm’s management realized that by making their own high-protein floating trout feed, they could control nutritional quality, reduce costs, and market their fish as truly farm-to-fork.
After upgrading their cold storage and processing facilities, their next logical step was feed production. Instead of jumping straight into a fully automated fish feed production line, they decided to start smart: by adding a 4 t/h trout fish feed making machine from RICHI Machinery to integrate into their existing raw material prep and mixing equipment.

After thorough technical discussions and an on-site evaluation, the farm selected the RICHI SPHS120×2 twin-screw extruder for this new phase of production. The SPHS120×2 is well-suited to France’s medium-scale trout farms that want industrial-grade performance without investing in an oversized system.
Key specifications for this trout fish pellet machine in France:
This trout fish feed making machine in France perfectly matches the farm’s daily feed requirement for its main site, with enough margin for batch adjustments and seasonal growth.
French trout farmers are known for valuing sustainability and local sourcing. This customer designed a feed formula using a mix of regional grains, oilseeds, and premium protein ingredients, ensuring the feed is nutrient-rich and meets EU aquaculture standards.
Their trout feed formulation typically includes:
By adjusting the SPHS120×2 trout fish feed extruder’s parameters, they can produce feed with precise fat and moisture levels — critical for producing floating feed that doesn’t crumble or sink prematurely.
One key reason this trout farmer invested only in a single fish feed extruder is practicality. They already own a grain hammer mill, a feed mixer, and basic storage silos, all purchased years ago when they experimented with farm-made mash feed for chickens and trout fry.
Rather than replacing all this working equipment, they opted to add the twin-screw trout fish pellet machine as the missing link. This smart add-on approach helps them:
Retain flexibility to upgrade later to a full automatic trout feed production line with more automation and packaging options.
Before installing the SPHS120×2 trout fish feed making machine in France, the farm relied on bagged pellets from national suppliers. Now, with the new fish feed pelletizer, they have complete control over pellet expansion, cooking temperature, and nutritional precision.
This trout fish feed machine is designed for premium performance:
The farmer also experimented with a few small test batches of carp and catfish feed for nearby ponds. Although trout is their main business, this flexibility is a bonus they plan to develop into a new revenue stream.
France is one of Europe's major producers of freshwater trout. But competition from imported frozen fish, rising production costs, and stricter environmental controls push farmers to innovate.
By investing in a trout fish feed making machine in France, this farm sends a clear signal to the market: they’re serious about sustainability, food quality, and reducing feed supply chain risks.
RICHI Machinery did more than just sell a fish feed pellet machine. They helped the farm:
This "one machine, full service" approach is exactly why farmers trust RICHI to help them start small, learn fast, and expand safely.
The SPHS120×2 trout fish feed making machine in France stands out because it combines powerful output with versatility:
Compared to a traditional single-screw fish feed extruder, the twin-screw model handles more complex recipes and delivers higher consistency — critical for trout feed where water stability and floatability are essential.
While the immediate focus is rainbow trout feed, the farmer is exploring other opportunities:
Thanks to the SPHS120×2 floating fish feed machine's flexibility, these plans don’t require a whole new investment — just a change in recipes and dies.
Choosing the right trout fish feed making machine isn’t about bigger is better — it’s about balance. For this French trout farm, the SPHS120×2 provides just the right capacity, robust build quality, and flexibility to match their real needs.
By trusting RICHI Machinery’s experience, they’ve strengthened their supply chain, improved feed quality, and opened doors to new opportunities — all with one well-chosen fish feed extruder.
