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
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
+
Design special pressure roller for shrimp feed pellet and improve the original feeding scraper to make the material evenly distributed.
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
Below is a parameter table for selected models in the SZLH series shrimp feed pellet machine. This series features flexible power options, with motor power ranging from 22–315KW. It supports three-phase solar power systems as an auxiliary supply (solar cannot be the sole power source).
In terms of capacity, standard models can meet general production needs. But we can also customize equipment according to clients’ actual output requirements, ensuring stable and efficient operation in feed mills of different sizes.

SHRIMP FEED EXTRUDER MACHINE
If your products need to cover many kinds of aquaculture species, or you want to take care of both shrimp and fish markets at the same time, the shrimp feed extruder can help. It works well with different types of feed and gives you a flexible and useful way to produce.


High Capacity
+
The whole extruder has high output, good performance, low energy consumption and low noise.

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

Screw
+
Use the latest technology and new materials to process the screw to extend the service life of the screw.

Motor
+
Equipped with Siemens motor, the quality is more guaranteed.

Automatic Control
+
The entire equipment adopts a fully automatic control system, one person can operate multiple devices to improve production efficiency.

Inverter Motor
+
The feeder adopts variable frequency motor to control the speed, and the speed can be adjusted freely.
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.
