SHRIMP FEED MAKING MACHINE
The term “Shrimp Feed Making Machine” refers to
various pieces of equipment for making shrimp
feed efficiently and consistently.
Based on feed formulation and market demand, shrimp feed can generally be divided into two categories: sinking shrimp feed and floating shrimp feed. Sinking shrimp feed quickly drops to the bottom, suitable for bottom-feeding shrimp. And floating shrimp feed stays on the surface for a while, making it easier for shrimp to eat.
RICHI provides two main types of shrimp feed making machines for the two different production requirements:
Shrimp Feed Pellet Machine
– Specialized for creating high-density sinking shrimp feed
Both machine types guarantee consistent feed quality and offer flexible production solutions tailored to various farming styles and market demands.
Shrimp Feed Extruder
– Perfect for producing floating or slow-sinking feed, with adjustable expansion and palatability.
Both machine types guarantee consistent feed quality and offer flexible production solutions tailored to various farming styles and market demands.
SHRIMP FEED PELLET MACHINE
If your main market is about sinking shrimp feed, or you want both low energy use and high efficiency in production, then the shrimp feed pellet machine is a really good choice. It fits your needs well and helps save costs while making things work better.
Forging process
+
The main components are forged to ensure greater hardness and longer service life.
Modulator
+
Equipped with three-layer modulator, modulator types are optional: differential modulator, quality control device, etc.
Humanized design
+
Such as safety pin assembly, observation port, etc. Easy to operate, which can protect the safety of both the staff and the equipment.
Stainless steel
+
The modulator, ring die, etc. are made of stainless steel, which is corrosion-resistant, ensuring the quality of the finished pellet and extending the service life.
Motor
+
Equipped with 6P-8P motor, the power is increased, which can increase the capacity of shrimp feed pellet.
Pressure roller
+

Working Principle
A shrimp feed pellet mill with a three-layer modulator compresses mixed raw materials into pellets using mechanical pressure.
The pellets are high-density and compact, sinking quickly to the bottom, suitable for bottom-feeding shrimp.
Applications
Primarily used for producing sinking shrimp feed, such as Litopenaeus vannamei, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, and freshwater shrimp.
Suitable for medium to large-sized feed mills or aquaculture enterprises specializing in sinking feed production.
Advantages and Features
High output and low energy consumption: Suitable for large-scale production.
Mature and reliable structural design: Low maintenance costs and long service life.
SHRIMP FEED PELLET MACHINE PARAMETERS

Modulator
+
Adopt different diameter differential speed modulator, the modulation time is prolonged and the conditioning is sufficient.
Screw
+

Working Principle
Shrimp feed extruder uses high temperature and high pressure for a short time to extrude the feed. When it comes out of the mold, the feed puffs up and becomes floating or slowly sinking pellets.
You can change how much it puffs up and its density to meet different farming needs.
Applications
Used for producing floating or slow-sinking shrimp feed.
Often used in multi-functional aquaculture feed production lines that can make both fish and shrimp feed at the same time.
Advantages and Features
Adjustable expansion degree: Controls feed floating time and sinking speed.
Feed Tastes Good: Helps shrimp absorb nutrients better and improves feed conversion.

COMPLETE SHRIMP FEED PRODUCTION PROCESS
While a single pelleting machine can produce shrimp feed, it often isn’t enough for customers with higher output needs, more product varieties, or those seeking better stability and efficiency. In such cases, the shrimp feed making machine can be combined with crushing, mixing, cooling, and screening equipment to form a complete shrimp feed production line, enabling a smoother and more efficient process.
A full shrimp feed production line includes crushing, mixing, pelleting, drying, spraying, cooling, and screening. All machines are closely connected to allow automatic and continuous operation.

4. We have decided to establish a shrimp feed production line. I am grateful if you provide the information.
+
To build a shrimp feed production line, you need to consider many aspects, such as the output of the shrimp feed production line, the raw materials for producing shrimp feed, the construction of the shrimp feed mill, the investment budget of the shrimp feed plant, etc.
After deciding on the solution, you need to consider the construction of the plant according to the height and land area of the shrimp feed production line. Of course, your plant will also be taken into consideration when designing the shrimp feed production line.
The production of shrimp feed production equipment and the construction of the plant are carried out at the same time, which can save your time and enable the shrimp feed mill to be put into production as soon as possible.
Shrimp feed pellet line is a very important part of building a shrimp feed plant, so finding a professional shrimp feed making machine manufacturer means that your shrimp feed production project is halfway successful.
5. How can I get a quote for the equipment ?

6. What is the shrimp feed extrusion process?
+
The commercial shrimp feed extrusion process, in simple terms, involves using a shrimp feed extruder to apply pressure, heat, and moisture to pre-mixed feed ingredients within a short time for processing.
There are two main heating methods: one relies on frictional heat generated by the machine (called dry extrusion), while the other involves preheating the ingredients before injecting steam (called wet extrusion).
This process can handle common raw materials like soybeans, corn, rice, and peas, as well as high-moisture content ingredients. It mainly includes two types: dry type and wet type.
Dry extrusion process: During processing, no additional water or steam is added. Heat is entirely generated through mechanical friction, while the screw applies pressure to force the ingredients out of the die mold. Once extruded, the sudden drop in pressure causes the moisture in the ingredients to evaporate. Throughout this process, the moisture content of the ingredients remains between 15% and 20%.
Wet extrusion process: The principle is similar to that of dry extrusion, but it requires additional water and steam injection, raising the moisture content of the ingredients to 20% or even above 30%, since heating primarily relies on the injected steam.
