RICHI Series Fish Feed Extruder for Precision & Consistency

It really depends on your scale and future plans. RICHI has models that start at 200-400 kg/h, perfect for small cooperative farms and business , and go up to 1 ton/hour for those planning to produce feed commercially. A lot of new customers choose the mid-size models (500-600 kg/h) to balance between learning the ropes and meeting market demand. And if you’re not sure, we can walk you through your daily feed needs and help you choose the right machine—not too small, not too big.

That’s a very common question. If you want floating fish feed, you’ll need an extruder. A pellet mill makes sinking pellets—which is okay for some species but not ideal for most aquaculture setups. A high-efficiency extruderlike RICHI’s gives you better feed expansion, digestibility, and waste control. Think of it this way: an extruder gives your feed that “puffed up” look—like cereal for fish. Pellet mills are more like compact biscuits. For surface-feeding fish, extrusion is the gold standard.

Absolutely! You can make custom formulas with what’s available in your region—corn flour, cassava powder, fish meal, rice bran, wheat offal, bone meal, etc. Many of our clients in Southeast Asia and Latin America use totally local recipes, which keeps their costs low and feed fresh. We'll even help you build a basic formula with the right protein, fiber, and oil balance based on your fish species and growth stage. The result? Premium feed quality at a local budget.

Not at all. Most of our customers are first-timers, and once the machine is installed, it’s like learning to ride a motorbike—some practice, and you’re good to go. We provide training videos, simple manuals, and even WhatsApp support for day-to-day use. Your team will learn to:

1. Adjust pellet size
2. Manage temperature and moisture
3. Change dies
4. Maintain and clean the machine

You don’t need a technician on staff—just someone curious, responsible, and willing to learn.

To produce consistently good feed, most customers also need:

1. Hammer mill – for grinding raw materials
2. Mixer – for even blending of nutrients
3. RICHI fish feed extruder – for extrusion and shaping
4. Dryer or air cooler – to reduce moisture (especially if packing for resale)
5. Bagging unit – for packing and storing feed

We can help you build this step-by-step, and you don’t have to buy everything at once. Start lean, grow smart.

Simple test: drop a few pellets in a bucket of water. They should float for 12–24 hours, stay intact, and not turn to mush. If they’re sinking or breaking apart, we’ll help you adjust:

1. Moisture level
2. Temperature control
3. Ingredient ratio
4. Die shape
