4-5T/H Ultra Fine Powder Grinding Machine in Chile

Raw Materials and Equipment Selection

Chile’s aquaculture feed formulations combine both local and imported ingredients, carefully balanced to support early-stage growth of juvenile salmon and trout. For this project, the raw materials include:

• Fish meal: sourced locally from Chilean fisheries, providing essential protein and amino acids
• Krill meal: imported from the Antarctic region, rich in omega-3 fatty acids and attractants
• Soy protein concentrate: imported from Brazil, used to supplement protein and improve pellet binding
• Wheat gluten: locally produced, providing energy and protein content
• Spirulina powder: cultivated locally to enhance pigmentation and immune function
• Vitamin and mineral premix: customized for juvenile salmon and trout to ensure balanced nutrition

After detailed consultation with RICHI engineers, the SWFL150 ultra fine powder grinding machine was selected for this application.

Role and Application in Feed Production

The ultra fine powder grinding machine is central to the client’s production process. Its primary functions include:

1. Processing sensitive ingredients: Fish meal, krill meal, and spirulina require gentle, precise grinding to maintain nutritional value and functional properties.
2. Achieving uniform particle size: Consistent ultrafine powders improve mixing efficiency and feed homogeneity.
3. Supporting pellet quality: Fine powders ensure better pellet formation, reducing breakage during drying and handling.
4. Enhancing growth performance: Juvenile salmon and trout can efficiently consume smaller, uniform feed particles, promoting healthier growth.

After grinding, the powders are blended and processed into pelleted feed suitable for juvenile salmon and trout in both domestic and export markets. This crusher machine also supports specialized feed formulations incorporating functional ingredients such as krill oil and spirulina, optimizing fish health and pigmentation.

Shipping and Logistics

For international shipment, the ultra fine powder grinding machine was transported from RICHI’s manufacturing facility in China via sea freight. The equipment arrived at Puerto Montt, Chile, the main port serving the Los Lagos aquaculture region. RICHI provided comprehensive guidance on packaging, customs documentation, and local logistics, ensuring smooth delivery and installation at the client’s facility.

Equipment Versatility and Technical Advantages

RICHI’s ultra fine powder grinding machine is widely recognized for its versatility across the feed, food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. Key advantages include:

• Durable construction: Alloy-protected hammer tips and wear-resistant plates increase efficiency and extend machine life.
• Optimized grinding efficiency: Wave-shaped alloy plates in the rotor increase cutting length, break circulation layers, and enhance material impact.
• Advanced monitoring: High-quality sensors monitor spindle temperature, vibration, and classifier wheel speed to ensure operational stability.
• Low vibration and noise: Heavy-duty frame with optional dampers and internal silencer design reduces vibration and noise.
• User-friendly maintenance: Hydraulic cover lifting and precise rotor balancing allow fast and safe maintenance.
• Precision airflow control: Multi-point uniform air intake and adjustable air gates improve material flow and grinding efficiency.

Clients often select RICHI machines for their precision, reliability, and long-term operational efficiency, which are essential for sensitive aquaculture feed production.

Client Feedback

After several months of operation, the client reported significant improvements in feed quality and production efficiency:

• Consistent particle size: All ultrafine powders achieved 80–200 mesh consistency, improving pellet homogeneity.
• Higher pellet stability: Reduced breakage during drying and handling.
• Improved juvenile fish growth: Feed conversion ratios improved by approximately 8%, and survival rates increased.
• Ease of operation: Maintenance is straightforward, and RICHI’s remote technical support provides rapid problem resolution.

The client expressed strong satisfaction, noting that the machine has not only improved production outcomes but also enabled the factory to explore more specialized feed formulations, including functional feeds enriched with omega-3 and microalgae.
