How to choose fish feed manufacturing machinery?
Because the intestines and stomachs of fish is small and their digestion and absorption capacity is poor, the processing technology of aquatic feed is much higher than that of livestock and poultry feed. To produce high-quality aquatic feed, we must rely on scientific and reasonable processing technology and combine it with advanced, reliable, and stable processing machinery. In this regard, the selection of processing equipment is particularly critical.
1. Precision Processing of Feed
Due to the short digestive tract and related physiological characteristics of aquatic animals, in order to speed up digestion and absorption, the crushing particle size of aquatic feed should be smaller than that of livestock feed. For example, the particle size of eel and shrimp feed should reach 80-120 mesh. We offer ultra-fine fish feed grinders that precisely meet this requirement.
2. High-Protein Feed
The protein content in livestock and poultry feed is typically below 20%, whereas that in aquaculture feed generally ranges between 30% and 40%. Our equipment can uniformly blend raw materials and strictly control pelletizing temperatures, ensuring the nutritional balance and high protein content of fish feed.
3. Water-Resistant Feed
Excellent water resistance extends feeding time, saves feed, and reduces water pollution. Our production lines utilize an extrusion process to enhance pellet adhesion, producing compact, water-resistant fish feed. These pellets remain stable in water for over 12 hours.
4. Production Cleanliness
Ensuring the purity of fish feed helps prevent water pollution and fish diseases, particularly in feeds for eels and shrimp. This fish feed production line solution supports standalone production line design and is equipped with a negative-pressure dust collection system. Additionally, raw materials undergo high-temperature sterilization during the pelletizing process.

How to choose equipment for building a fish feed production line?
+
With the rapid development of the aquaculture industry, especially the growing economic benefits of aquaculture, a variety of aquatic feeds such as puffed pellets and hard feed pellets came into being. Therefore, seizing this opportunity to build a fish food production line is a good way to make a fortune.
As fish have tiny intestines, and poor digestion and absorption, aquatic feed processing technology is far more demanding than the processing of livestock and poultry feed. Therefore, the choice of equipment for the floating fish feed production line is particularly important.
Selecting appropriate fish feed production equipment, the first thing is to know the characteristics of the fish feed:
- Small particle size. Due to the short digestive tract of fish and related physiological characteristics, in order to speed up digestion and absorption, fish feed should be smaller than the crushed particle size of livestock and poultry feed. Taking an example, the production of eel and shrimp feed, the particle size should reach 80-120 mesh.
- High protein content and low carbohydrate content. The protein content of livestock feed is generally less than 20%, while most of the protein content of fish feed is 30% to 40%. For example, the protein content of sablefish and eel feed is as high as 65% to 70%.
- The structure of fish feed pellet is tight, with a high degree of adhesion and water resistance.
- In the production of fish feed, cross-contamination is strictly prohibited. So, some raw materials need to be aseptic. The equipment selected is facilitate to clean-up.
The production of high-quality fish feed must rely on scientific and reasonable processing technology, and make it combined with advanced, reliable, and stable processing machinery. In this regard, the choice of processing equipment for the fish food processing line is particularly critical.
How do you start a fish feed production line?
+
With the development of the fish breeding industry, more and more people enter the fish feed industry. In recent years, global fishery and aquaculture have developed rapidly, and the scale of various freshwater and mariculture farms has become larger and larger. There are many kinds of fish feed purchased in the market, but most of them have single nutrition and mixed quality, which simply can not meet the daily growth needs of special fish and seafood. So how solving the nutrient content of fish feed has become a headache for farmers. They all want to build a fish feed factory. But what should be paid attention to when starting a fish feed factory?
The fully automatic fish feed production line developed by RICHI Machinery according to this situation can adjust the formula according to the aquaculture products. By adjusting the proportion of raw materials in the formula, the protein, vitamin, and fat content required by aquatic products can be reached.
The fish feed machine production line is a kind of fish feed equipment that practitioners in various fishery and aquaculture industries want to know about. As the equipment specialized in producing floating fish feed, suspended fish feed, and other products, whether it can meet the expansion degree required by fish feed is the standard that can reflect the performance of the equipment.
The full-automatic fish feed line produced by RICHI Machinery is a professional floating fish feed production line equipment developed by our company according to the market demand. The equipment has the advantages of low energy consumption, large output, labor saving, simple operation, and so on. It is suitable for the majority of aquaculture entrepreneurs to invest in and use.
What are benefits for starting fish farming business?
+
Due to feed industrialization, global feed production has entered a new stage, and the global feed output has been rising. More and more people want to start a fish feed business and fish farming business. At this time, the use of fish feed equipment is reflected. What are the benefits of producing fish feed yourself?
When making self-made feed, we can take measures according to time, local conditions, and local materials. Make full use of self-produced feed or local feed with high nutrient content, low price, and guaranteed source. Try to save freight and labor costs and reduce feed costs.
At present, the full-price feed of most cultured fish is hard granular, so it is inconvenient to add some additives or disease-prevention drugs in the process of use. When making self-made feed, various feed additives and disease prevention drugs can be added in time according to the needs of cultured fish, so as to further improve the feed quality, improve the feed conversion rate and strengthen the prevention and treatment of fish diseases.
In different regions, different farmers have different stocking modes, and there are great differences in the required feed nutrition levels. However, the full-price feed produced by most manufacturers mostly designs the feed formula according to the nutritional needs of the main fish, and rarely considers the nutritional needs of the captive fish. The use of self-made feed can be based on the breeding mode and the stocking conditions of different species of fish, Taking into account the nutritional needs of the main fish and the captive fish, the appropriate feed formula is designed to meet the nutritional needs of the fish.
With the growth of cultured fish, their nutritional needs are also changing. Therefore, it is also required to adjust the nutritional level of feed. Only in this way can we not only meet the growing needs of fish at all stages but also effectively reduce the feed cost.
So, the fish meal production line is useful. The fully automatic fish feed production line developed by RICHI Machinery according to this situation can adjust the formula according to the aquaculture products.
