sinkING FISH FEED MACHINE
“Sinking Fish Feed Machine” is the equipment designed to produce sinking fish feed pellets. It helps achieve stable sinking, water resistance, and high palatability based on your formula and target density.
Bottom-feeding fish (like grass carp, silver carp, bighead carp, crucian carp, black carp, etc.) usually eat in the middle or lower layers of the water. So, sinking fish feed needs to sink quickly, not break apart easily in water, and keep its nutrients intact. The sinking fish feed machine is specifically built around these core needs.
To help customers find suitable solutions for different markets and budgets, RICHI offers two types of sinking fish feed machines:
Sinking Fish Feed Pellet Machine
– Cost-effective choice. It’s great for making regular, hard sinking pellets. The equipment is simple, durable, and has a low investment threshold.
No matter which type you choose, both machines offer controllable density, excellent stability, and higher nutrient retention. Production parameters can also be easily adjusted for different fish species, farming methods, and target markets.
Shrimp Feed Extruder
– Premium solution. Through extrusion cooking and precise density control, it makes pellets that are more water-stable and firmer. It’s ideal for producing high-quality, multi-formula sinking fish feed.
No matter which type you choose, both machines offer controllable density, excellent stability, and higher nutrient retention. Production parameters can also be easily adjusted for different fish species, farming methods, and target markets.
Sinking Fish Feed Pellet Machine
RICHI SZLH series fish feed pellet machine is mainly used for the production of animal feed pellets for aquatic products, livestock and poultry, ruminants, etc. It has humanized design and simple operation. It is currently widely used in various animal feed and aquatic feed pellet mill, as well as aquaculture farms and animal breeding plants.
Casting Manufacturing
+
The active transmission box is a casting with high hardness, large load-bearing capacity and long service life.
Stainless steel
+
The main parts such as modulator and ring die are made of stainless steel, which is corrosion-resistant.
Gear Transmission
+
The main transmission system adopts gear transmission, which has high efficiency and high capacity.
Powder spraying process
+
The appearance adopts powder spraying process, first spraying powder, then electric baking, and then drying.
Siemens motor
+
The main motor uses a Siemens motor.
Inverter motor
+
The feeding system adopts stepless frequency conversion motor control, which is convenient for adjusting the feeding speed.
Working Principle
First, raw materials like fish meal and soybean meal are mixed and conditioned.
Then, a feeding system sends them into the pelleting chamber. The material is forced through the holes of a ring die by pressing rollers, forming column-shaped pellets.
Finally, a cutter cuts them to the desired length. After cooling, you get high-density sinking feed pellets that ensure rapid sinking in water.
Applications
Ideal for producing hard, sinking pellets for bottom-feeding fish such as grass carp, crucian carp, black carp, common carp, and tilapia.
Also suitable for manufacturing regular or specialty aquatic feed that requires stable, high-density properties.
Advantages and Features
Controllable Density: Ensures pellets sink quickly, reducing waste and water pollution.
Improved Safety: High-temperature conditioning kills harmful bacteria, improving feed safety and extending its shelf life.
Flexible Size: Pellet size can be easily adjusted to match different fish growth stages.
High Efficiency: A single machine can produce 0.5-30 tons per hour, meeting the needs of large-scale farming operations.

Finally, it’s pushed through a specific die and cut into pellets of a set length.
This process allows you to control the density, creating feed that can either slowly sink in the middle layers or drop quickly to the bottom, meeting different needs.
Applications
Ideal for producing high-quality feed for bottom-feeding fish like grass carp, crucian carp, black carp, and silver/bighead carp.
It can make standard sinking pellets, as well as special formulas that sink slowly or have better palatability.
Suitable for medium-to-large-scale fish feed plants and professional operations focusing on high quality and diverse formulas.
Advantages and Features
Controllable Pellet Density: The extrusion process lets you adjust density for different fish growth stages.
High Water Stability: Pellets hold their shape in water, keeping nutrients intact.
Easily switch between different formulas and specifications to meet market demands.
Designed for continuous, large-scale output, lowering labor costs.

Thailand
3-5 t/h sinking fish feed & livestock feed production line
This is a conventional compound feed production line. Due to the need to produce fish sinking feed, it is equipped with a feed pellet machine with a double-layer modulator. The feed pellet machine can be used to produce fish sinking feed and livestock and poultry feed at the same time, which can maximize the use of the feed factory’s production equipment and improve the production efficiency of the feed pellet mill.
India
2.5-5 t/h shrimp feed & 8-12 t/h sinking fish feed production line
The production line is equipped with a feed pelletizer with a three-layer modulator, which can meet the production needs of both fish feed and shrimp feed. The outer layer of the modulator of the feed pelletizer is equipped with a jacket device, which enables the material to be better modulated and meet the requirements of shrimp feed pelletizing.
According to the raw materials used by customers, hammer mill is used for both crushing operations, which can reduce costs while ensuring that the crushing fineness of the materials meets the pelleting requirements.
Uzbekistan

FAQ ABOUT SINKING FISH FEED MACHINE
If you have any questions about sinking fish feed equipment and sinking fish feed production, you can first take a look at these answers.
1. I need Sinking Fish Feed Machine，What is the price of fish feed extruder?
+
The price of our fish sinking fish feed machine is between 8000-100000 USD. The reason why we did not give you a definite price directly is that the price of sinking fish feed machine with different output and different configuration is different.
So first we need to communicate with you and understand your specific needs before we can recommend you the appropriate sinking fish feed production machine and tell you the exact price of fish sinking feed production machine.
2. I need to build a small fish feed plant, what equipment do I need?
+
The main equipment of the sinking fish feed pellet mill is the production equipment needed for the sinking fish feed production line. The conventional sinking fish feed production line needs to use: feed crusher, feed mixer, feed pelletizer, feed dryer, feed cooler, packing equipment, etc.
In addition to these equipment, some auxiliary equipment is also needed, such as screening equipment, conveying equipment, etc. What equipment is needed on the entire fish feed production line still needs to be equipped according to your needs.
In addition to feed production machine, fish feed pellet mill building needs to be built. After the fish feed production plan is determined, the factory building can be built according to the production plan.
3. Can the pellet mills used to produce poultry feed also be used to produce fish feed ?
+
No. Both single-layer and double-layer feed pellet machines can be used to produce poultry feed. However, if you need to produce fish sinking feed, considering the requirements of sinking fish feed on the degree of maturity and the feeding characteristics of fish, a feed pellet machine with a double-layer feed pellet machine is generally required.
Therefore, not all pellet machines used to produce poultry feed can be used to produce sinking fish feed.
4. Do you have an office in Vietnam? I would like to communicate directly with local staff.
+
We do not have an office in Vietnam. Once customers contact us, we will ask the sales manager responsible for the area to contact you and communicate the detailed information about the feed production machine you need.
You can also come to our factory directly. Our sales manager and technical engineer can take you on a field tour and explain our feed production equipment to you. In this way, the communication efficiency between us will be faster.
We welcome every customer to visit our factory for communication at any time.
