Feed Inlet

01

The design of the feed inlet ensures smooth and stable entry of raw materials into the extruder. Its wide structure in conjunction with the inverter-driven motor minimizes the risk of clogging and improves operating efficiency. The adjustable inlet controller allows for precise adjustment of the feed rate, which is essential for maintaining uniform pellet production and adapting to different feedstocks.

Extrusion

02

Raw material after conditioned is fed into the extrusion chamber where it is subjected to high temperatures and pressures. This combination causes the raw material to gelatinize, expand and form a uniform mass. The feedstock is then forced through a die to form it into pellets. Under controlled conditions, the density can be precisely adjusted to form floating or sinking feed.

Discharge

03

International advanced cutting structure, the use of soft knife affixed form, the realization of stepless variable speed, can be cut into any length of the output material into the required length of the product, and is not easy to produce burrs, greatly improving the quality of aquatic puffed feed.

Structure

04

Novel and unique design, simple structure, easy to install, easy to dismantle, easy to unload, easy to operate, and covers a small area, reducing the investment in plant area.

Multifunctional

05

The simple shape and structure do not affect its multifunctional performance. Simply by replacing the discharge template with different aperture diameters and changing the cutting length, you can produce aqua feed pellets suitable for different types of aqua feed.

Your Guide to Common Questions About Dry-Type Aquatic Feed Extruder

Good question—and one we hear often. A floating fish feed extruder uses high pressure and high temperature to puff up the feed and make it float on water. It’s different from regular pellet mills, which compress the feed but don’t give it that air-filled, buoyant structure. The extruder also cooks the feed as it processes, making it more digestible for fish. If you’re farming tilapia, catfish, koi, or other surface-feeding species, a floating feed extruder machine is the way to go.

The floating pellets are perfect for surface-feeding fish like:

  1. Tilapia
  2. Catfish
  3. Koi and ornamental fish
  4. Some shrimp, in specific conditions

If your fish come up to the top for food, this is the type of feed you want. Not only does it reduce waste (since uneaten feed is visible), but it also helps monitor fish health and appetite. In regions like Southeast Asia and South America, floating feed is becoming the industry standard.

Our DGP Series extruders are designed for small to medium-scale fish farmers or startups, with output ranging from 200 kg/h to 1000 kg/h. For example:

  1. The DGP-90B produces about 200-400 kg/h
  2. The DGP-120B can handle 500-600 kg/h
  3. The DGP-160B can go up to 800-1000 kg/h

So whether you're feeding your own ponds or planning to supply a local market, there’s a size that fits. And if you grow, we help you scale up step-by-step.

Not at all. The floating fish feed extruder machine is designed with first-time users in mind. After installation, we train you or your operator to:

  1. Adjust temperature and screw speed
  2. Control feed moisture and expansion
  3. Change molds for pellet sizes
  4. Maintain and clean the machine easily

In places like Bangladesh and Peru, we’ve helped farmers and family-run businesses start production with zero technical background. Within a couple of days, most folks are comfortable running it on their own.

The beauty of this machine is flexibility. You can use a mix of:

  1. Corn or cassava flour (as binder/carbohydrate)
  2. Soybean meal, fish meal, blood meal (as protein sources)
  3. Rice bran, wheat bran, or DDGS (as filler and energy)
  4. Premix or vitamins

Just make sure the ingredients are ground finely and mixed well before feeding into the machine. We’ll help you build a balanced formula based on the species you're farming and what’s available locally.

A basic floating fish feed production line includes:

  1. Grinder (hammer mill) – for crushing raw materials
  2. Mixer – for blending the feed ingredients
  3. Small electric fish feed extruder machine – to puff and pelletize the feed
  4. Dryer (optional for larger setups) – to reduce pellet moisture
  5. Cooler – helps pellets last longer in storage
  6. Bagging machine – for clean packaging

We can help you build this step-by-step, so even if you're starting with just a grinder and extruder, you're on the right track.

Yes! When you produce buoyant feed pellets, just drop a few into a bucket of water. They should stay on the surface for at least 12–24 hours. If they sink quickly or break apart, you may need to adjust:

  1. The moisture of the mix
  2. The temperature settings on the extruder
  3. The screw configuration or ingredients

We’ll walk you through all this during training, and even send sample recipes. Our goal is to help you make pellets that not only float—but perform.

The small electric fish feed extruder machine price starts at just a few thousand dollars, depending on the model. It’s an affordable way to start your own feed business or stop relying on expensive commercial feed. If you’re running a small farm or looking to supply your neighbors, this is a great investment with low operating costs. Plus, we’ll give you a complete price breakdown with no hidden charges.

Yes—with a few adjustments. By modifying the moisture content, temperature, and screw speed, you can produce semi-floating or sinking feed. This is useful if you’re feeding species like catfish or shrimp that prefer feed at mid or bottom water levels. Some clients produce both floating and sinking pellets using the same machine—it’s all about fine-tuning. And we’ll teach you how to switch easily during training.

With RICHI, you’re never alone. After you purchase, we provide:

  1. Installation assistance
  2. Operator training (online or in person)
  3. Formulation tips and starter recipes
  4. WhatsApp and phone support anytime
  5. Spare parts and maintenance guidance
  6. Ongoing advice as your business grows

Whether you're in Vietnam, Colombia, Eastern Europe, or rural Kenya, we’ve got your back—from day one to year ten.
