Dry Type Fish Feed Extruder

In fact, whether you are a farmer, an aquaculture operator, a feed processing company or a feed manufacturer, you can choose to purchase a production line. Because our production lines have many different output levels and can be adapted to different production scenarios.

So you don’t need to worry about what to do if you don’t have a suitable fish feed production line. The production line can be customized according to the production volume requirements, the size of the site, and the budget. Under suitable external conditions, we still recommend that you purchase a production line because the production line can achieve automated production and continuous processing, and can maintain the consistency of feed quality.

Of course, we sincerely welcome you to visit our factory. We will show you around. Generally speaking, setting up a fish feed factory requires a grinder, mixer, mixer, pelletizer or extruder, sprayer, dryer, cooler, packaging machine, etc. However, please rest assured, not every type of machine here needs to be purchased. As long as you can inform us of your specific situation, we will have professionals discuss with you the actual equipment needed.

If you’re looking for a fish feed extruder or planning to build a turnkey feed pellet plant but are not sure what size is best for you, please contact us. RICHI Machinery offers various designs in capacities from 0.5 to 10t/h and more, tailored to your budget, raw materials, final feed specifications and workshop scale.

You just tell us some details such as your farm/site/fishery scale, desired hourly output, acceptable power ratings, preferred feed type (for fish or pets), and packaging requirements. Based on this information, we will recommend the most suitable production line solution.

The floating pellets made by our extruder can remain afloat for at least 12 hours; it won’t easily decompose when exposed to water. In the practical processing, the high temperature and pressure generated by fish feed machine can effectively kill harmful bacteria like Escherichia coli and Salmonella, ensuring the feed is clean, hygienic, and safe.

Meanwhile, this processing method promotes helps denature proteins and gelatinize starches, making the feed easier for fish and other animals to digest and absorb. Compared to traditional powdered or regular pelleted feeds, using expanded floating feed can also reduce consumption by 8–15% and is more cost-effective and efficient.

Dry fish feed extruders typically range in price from 5,000 to 30,000. This model represents RICHI’s smallest and most economical feed extrusion solution.

Whether building a new aquafeed plant or upgrading an existing production line, choosing a right extruder comes first. You should match the extruder capacity to your overall production needs. Especially during upgrades, you should also check if your old grinders, dryers, and coolers can support the new process — to avoid equipment mismatch.

For aquafeed, good extrusion results include: pellet forming rate over 99%, powder content under 1%, uniform shape and color, and strong water resistance.

For example, floating feed should stay intact in water for at least 10 hours, and sinking feed should remain stable for more than 3 hours. This gives fish enough time to eat and reduces waste and water pollution.

Yes, we offer both wet and dry type fish feed extruders. And the main difference lies in their processing methods.

Dry type fish feed extruder employs mechanical shearing and compression to directly transform dry raw materials into pelletized feed without adding water during processing. This method features a simpler process and lower energy consumption.

In contrast, wet type fish feed extruder requires adding controlled amounts of water to the raw materials to form a paste before extruding and shaping it. After that, it is cut into pellets. And this method is suitable for producing feeds with specific requirements for pellet density and sinking properties.
