Fish Feed Pellet Making Machine
The fish feed pellet making machine produces feed with high water resistance, meeting the nutritional needs of freshwater fish, bottom-dwelling fish, shrimp, crabs, and other aquatic species. With a production capacity ranging from 0.6-30 T/H, it provides high-quality production services for aquaculture farms, aquatic feed plants, and other facilities. In addition, we offer customized machines and complete production line solutions.
High-Quality fish Feed Processing
Our fish feed pellet making machine is equipped with a 2-3-layer conditioner. Through high-temperature conditioning, it ensures thorough starch gelatinization and provides a sterilizing effect, thereby promoting digestion and nutrient absorption in fish. Additionally, this extrusion process does not destroy the crude protein in the raw materials. Pelleted feed ensures a balanced nutritional profile for fish and optimizes feeding performance.
The feed produced by this machine has a stable structure and high water resistance, helping to prevent water pollution. This equipment can meet the feeding needs of most bottom-feeding fish, shrimp, and crabs. We also offer fish feed extruders capable of producing floating, sinking, and slow-sinking fish feeds with various formulations.
This pellet mill provides aquatic feed pellet plants with production services that deliver a high return on investment. It also helps fish farms reduce costs and ensures a stable feed supply. Please feel free to contact us for a free consultation.

Advantages of fish feed pellets
●
High Water Resistance
Thanks to the powerful extrusion effect of the pelletizer and a scientifically designed auxiliary system, the produced pellet feed features a stable structure and superior water resistance. This significantly extends the feeding window for shrimp and reduces waste.
●
High Digestibility and Absorption
Based on the species, growth stage, and farming model of different fish, all essential nutrients such as protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals have been scientifically proportioned. This ensures healthy and rapid growth of the fish population.
●
Wide Range of Applications
By adjusting formulations and process parameters, fish feed pellet making machine can produce feed with different sizes to meet the feeding requirements of diverse aquatic species including fish, shrimp, and crabs, which has a broader application scope.
●
High Palatability
High temperature and high pressure environments effectively eliminate harmful substances, such as pathogenic bacteria and parasites in raw materials, which greatly enhances the safety of fish feed and reduces the risk of disease transmission.
●
Uniform Pellet Size
The pellet mill’s ring die is scientifically designed to produce feed pellets with uniform diameters. A dual-set cutting mechanism ensures the pellets are the appropriate length. These pellet specifications can be flexibly adjusted to suit the feeding habits of fish.
●
Reduced Water Pollution
The extruded feed exhibits excellent stability in water, which can maintain its shape for a long time. This has greatly reduced pollution of the water body caused by uneaten feed and fish feces, which maintains a good aquaculture water environment.

What are the benefits of using a fish feed pelletizer?
Fish feed offers many advantages over traditional feeding methods. These benefits are not only reflected in aquaculture outcomes but also are critical to economic efficiency and environmental protection.
Nutritious and balanced
Based on the species, growth stage, and farming model of different fish, all essential nutrients such as protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals have been scientifically proportioned. This prevents nutritional deficiencies that may exist in traditional feed, and ensures healthy and rapid growth of the fish population.
Wide Range of Applications
RICHI fish pellet machine can produce both floating and sinking feed. By adjusting formulations and process parameters, it flexibly produces feed with varying buoyancy characteristics to meet the feeding requirements of diverse aquatic species including fish, shrimp, and crabs, which has a broader application scope.
High safety
High temperature and high pressure environments effectively eliminate harmful substances such as pathogenic bacteria and parasites in raw materials, which greatly enhances the safety of fish feed and reduces the risk of disease transmission.
Reduction of water pollution
Modern fish feed especially extruded feed exhibits excellent stability in water, which can maintain its shape for a long time. This has greatly reduced pollution of the water body caused by uneaten feed and fish feces, which maintains a good aquaculture water environment.
–
What are the differences between floating, slow-sinking, and sinking fish feeds?
The most fundamental difference lies in the density and expansion level of the pellets. The lower the density and the higher the expansion level, the better the feed floats. Therefore, they can meet the feeding needs of different fish species.
Floating fish feed can remain on the water’s surface for an extended period, making it easier to observe fish feeding behavior and reducing waste. It is suitable for fish that live in shallow water and are accustomed to feeding at the surface, such as tilapia and carp.
Slow-sinking fish feed sinks slowly through the water. This allows it to meet the feeding needs of fish in different water layers, achieving optimal feeding results. It is particularly suitable for fish that inhabit the middle water column, such as rainbow trout and salmon.
Sinking fish feed pellets have a higher density. They sink rapidly to the bottom to meet the feeding needs of bottom-dwelling fish such as catfish. These pellets have good water resistance, ensuring more efficient feeding for the fish.
–
What types of aquaculture feed can this fish feed pellet making machine produce?
Our pelletizer is industrial-grade equipment capable of producing most types of sinking feed. The feed it produces meets the nutritional needs of carp, crucian carp, catfish, tilapia, grass carp, and other species. Additionally, its excellent sinking properties and variety of pellet sizes make it suitable for feeding shrimp and crabs.
The pellet machine is the foundational equipment for aquafeed production. If you need to produce floating fish feed, high-quality sinking feed, or slow-sinking feed, we can provide a floating fish feed pellet machine. Using screw extrusion, it can accommodate a wider range of more complex feed formulations.
–
How long can pelleted fish feed remain intact in water?
This equipment uses a dual-roll system, which provides a more powerful extrusion effect on the feed. This results in high-density feed pellets. They have a stable structure and can remain intact in water for 2–6 hours without disintegrating.
The shrimp feed making machine operates stably, safely, and reliably, all interfaces are sanitary and sealed, the failure rate is low, and the working time of the ring molding roller is long. The high degree of automation and convenient maintenance.
