CUSTOM FISH FEED MILL SOLUTIONS
Build your efficient fish feed factory with RICHI’s all-in-one fish feed mill solution.
From planning to successful production — we help you stand out in the aquafeed market!
If you raise fish or shrimp, or run a feed mill, do you often think like this:
“Specializing in the fish and shrimp feed market is stable enough, but if I could also make pet food, wouldn’t my customer base be even wider?”
“Can one production line make both fish and shrimp feed? Switching products is messy and expensive—isn’t there a flexible solution?” ……
Both ideas lead to one smart solution: Invest in a complete feed production line.
You might ask, “Can’t I just buy a single feed pellet machine?”
Sure, one fish feed pellet machine handles pieces of the job. But it misses critical steps: grinding raw materials, precise mixing, plus post-pellet cooling/screening. Inconsistent connections between different pieces of equipment can also lead to production disruptions, impacting efficiency.
And a complete feed mill solution can solve this. We offer:

Crushing -Mixing -Pelletizing/Extrusion -Drying -Spraying-Cooling -Screening- Packaging
01 Crushing
For juvenile fish and shrimp, the raw materials are ground finer for easier digestion. For adult fish and shrimp, the pellets can be slightly coarser. This allows for smoother mixing and pelleting.
02 Mixing
Whether it’s high prctein fish meal ornut ritional supple ments like vitami nsand minerals, theyre all mixeda ccording to your specifed formula This way. you don’t have to worry about some fish and shrimp eating more than others. leading to different growth rates.
03 Pelletizing/Extrusion
Your desired floating and sinking feed, as well as pellet size, are determined in this step. The raw material powder is pressed into your desired shape in the machine, and the high-temperature pressing process also sterilizes the material.
04 Drying
The pellets are initially moist and require drying to ensure longer storage and prevent mold.
05 Spraying
If you wish to add volatile nutrients, such as fish oil or special vitamins, to the feed, this step involves spraying them directly onto the pellet surface.
06 Cooling
Freshly dried or sprayed pellets are still hot. Bagging them directly will trap moisture and cause them to clump. This step lowers the temperature, making subsequent packaging and storage easier.
07 Screening
Inevitably, there will be broken particles and fine dust in the feed. This step removes these “unqualified” particles, leaving only intact, uniformly sized pellets. This ensures consistent feed quality, with no variability.
08 Packaging
Finally, the feed is neatly bagged or barreled for easy transport and storage. You can feed or resell it right away, worry-free.

HOW TO BUILD A FISH FEED MILL?
If you’re planning to build your own fish feed factory, the first step is to clearly determine the type of feed you want to produce. Is it a floating fish feed, a sinking fish feed, or a specialized shrimp feed? Alternatively, you might want to create a comprehensive feed mill that can cater to multiple aquaculture needs. Once you’ve determined your goals, you’ll have a clearer direction for formula, equipment, and plant operations.
With this direction in mind, it’s time to consider the details of the factory’s operations:
01. Feed Formulation
Determine which raw materials are used toproduce the feed, Some feed pellet produc-tion equipment requires configurationbased on the raw materials.
02. Feed Processing Plant Capacity
After a feed plant is built, the number of tons of feed it needs to produce per hour or per day is directly related to the model and quantity of feed pellet production equipment and the overall layout of the feed production line.
03. Feed Project Site Area and Height
Evaluate the available plant area and height for the feed processing plant. The feed production line design and equipment layout will ultimately need to be tailored to site conditions.
04. Investment Cost Estimation
Different budgets correspond to feed pellet production line solutions with varying scales, capacities, and levels of automation, as well as corresponding feed pellet production equipment. Appropriate investment planning can not only improve production efficiency but also maximize returns on investment.
1
I only have a small factory. Can I accommodate a complete production line?
No problem. Our production line has various layout options and can be designed to suit your factory space. Even if you only have a few hundred square meters, we can help you plan the equipment layout appropriately.
2
How much does a production line cost? Can you tailor a plan to your budget?
It’s difficult to give a flat rate price for this, as it depends on your production volume, level of automation, and number of machines. But rest assured, simply tell us your budget and we’ll help you design a suitable solution.
3
Can you provide me with a feed formula?
Yes, we can. We’ll provide you with a basic formula to facilitate your initial trial production. However, please note that formulas are highly tailored to local conditions.
Factors like local raw material availability and prices, as well as the adaptability of fish and shrimp to local ingredients, can all influence the results.
The formula we provide is a starting point to help you get started quickly.
Once your production is running smoothly, if you’d like to optimize the system to better suit your farming needs, you can contact a local formula expert for further optimization.
4
How many people are needed to operate a production line? Is the operation complex?
Actually, it doesn’t require too many people. A small production line generally requires 3-4 people, while a larger one can be handled with 5-6. Our machines are all automated, with intuitive user interfaces. If needed, we’ll send engineers for on-site hands-on training. Your employees can operate the system independently in just a day or two, without delaying production.
5
What if there’s a problem with the machine? How can I resolve it locally? Can you provide remote guidance?
For most issues, we can help you resolve them remotely via video link, guiding you through the troubleshooting step by step. Some customers get nervous when they encounter a problem for the first time, but most are minor issues. For more complex situations, we’ll reassess whether to send an engineer. We also stock common wearing and spare parts in advance, ensuring you don’t have to wait for parts to delay production.
