Fish Feed Pellet Making Machine for Efficient Feed Production
What Is a Fish Feed Pellet Making Machine
A fish feed pellet making machine is specialized equipment used to process raw materials such as corn, soybean meal, wheat bran, and fish meal into uniform fish feed pellets. These pellets are easy to digest, nutritionally balanced, and suitable for different fish species.
Our fish pellet machine’s capacity ranges from 1 to 40 T/H. Therefore, it flexibly adapts to various production scales and can also be customized according to your specific requirements to meet individualized production goals. This machine is capable of manufacturing a full spectrum of aquatic pellet feed. Whether for fish, shrimp, or other aquatic animals—and regardless of different growth stages—it can accurately match nutritional formulas to support healthy and rapid growth.
We not only supply high-performance standalone machines but also offer comprehensive turnkey project services. From planning to operation, we tailor complete production lines for you, ensuring efficient performance and long-term stable returns.
RICHI Fish Feed Extruder Machine
In feed processing, besides the fish feed pellet making machine, fish feed extruder machine is a core equipment for producing more complex and higher-value feed. Extruders use high temperature, high pressure, and shear force to make floating, slow-sinking, or sinking pellets. As a result, they significantly improve feed digestibility, water stability, and palatability.

Workflow of a Fish Feed Pellet making Machine
A fish feed pellet making machine transforms raw ingredients into uniform, nutrient-rich pellets through a systematic process.
First, feed raw materials into the conditioner, where steam and liquids are added to soften the feed and improve gelatinization and digestibility.
Next, the conditioned material then enters the pelletizing chamber and is compressed by rollers through the ring die to form pellets.
Then, an adjustable cutter cuts the pellets to the required length.
Finally, the pellets are discharged and sent to cooling and screening systems for further processing before packaging or storage.
This process ensures consistent pellet size, high production efficiency, and reliable feed quality suitable for aquaculture applications.
