0.5–1.0T/H Twin Screw Floating Fish Feed Extruder in Honduras

Why the Client Selected a Standalone Twin Screw Extruder

The purchase of the RICHI SPHS75×2 twin screw floating fish feed extruder represents a tactical move to modernize and expand pellet production capacity while maintaining operational flexibility. This choice allowed the client to increase output and diversify product offerings quickly without halting existing operations.

Instead of replacing the entire feed mill or building a new feed production line, they prioritized this single extruder to boost their capacity to meet the rising local and export demand for premium floating feed pellets tailored to tilapia farms and other aquaculture operations.

Machine Model and Parameters for the Honduran Aquafeed Market

Based on the production needs and local operating conditions, the client chose the SPHS75×2 model, which fits well within their current scale and power infrastructure:

• Model: SPHS75×2
• Main Motor Power: 55 kW
• Screw Diameter: 75 mm
• Feeder Motor Power: 1.5 kW
• Conditioner Power: 7.5 kW (DC400-244)
• Differential Conditioner Power: 11 kW (DC400×300-244)
• Production Capacity: 0.5–1.0 tons per hour

This twin screw floating fish feed extruder in Honduras offers a perfect balance of compactness, energy efficiency, and sufficient output for a mid-sized aquafeed producer in Honduras.

Raw Materials Adapted to Honduras' Aquaculture Feed Ingredients

The feed formulation reflects the realities of Honduras’ agricultural resources and import capabilities. The typical raw material mix processed through the floating fish feed machine includes:

• Corn meal (40%): A staple ingredient widely grown in Honduras, providing energy and carbohydrates.
• Fish meal (30%): Essential for high-quality protein content, often imported but critical for balanced nutrition.
• Soybean meal (20%): Supplementary protein source, imported mainly from the Americas.
• Vitamin and mineral premixes (5%): Custom blends supporting optimal fish growth and health.
• Wheat bran (5%): Used as a filler and fiber source, locally sourced.

This formulation suits floating pellets for tilapia and other freshwater species common to Honduran aquaculture.

Application of the Twin Screw Floating Fish Feed Extruder

The RICHI twin screw floating fish feed extruder is designed primarily for:

• Producing floating fish feed pellets that meet nutritional and physical standards required by tilapia and other local aquaculture species.
• Handling various aquafeed formulations with consistent extrusion cooking to improve pellet water stability and nutrient availability.
• Offering flexibility to experiment with specialized feeds, including early-stage fry diets and grow-out feeds.
• Potential expansion into producing high-end shrimp feed pellets or aquatic pet foods, though the current client focuses mainly on freshwater fish feed.

Unlike traditional pellet mills, the twin screw extruder's precision enables the production of high-quality, digestible pellets that float, which is essential for monitoring feeding behavior and reducing waste in open pond systems common in Honduras.

Operational Benefits of the Standalone Extruder Unit

Adding the SPHS75×2 twin screw floating fish feed extruder in Honduras enhanced the client’s operational efficiency by:

• Allowing higher throughput of consistent quality pellets with minimal manual intervention.
• Reducing energy consumption compared to older pellet machines.
• Providing ease of cleaning and maintenance, essential in humid tropical climates.
• Enhancing feed pellet durability, reducing fines and breakage during transport and feeding.
• Supporting product differentiation with the ability to tailor pellet size and formulation quickly.

This strategic equipment upgrade has helped the fish feed mill project maintain its competitive edge in the Central American aquafeed market.
