The fish feed production line is mainly divided into the processing of extruded feed and pellet feed. Generally speaking, the extruded fish feed mill plant cost is higher for the fish feed pelleting plant. The capacity of fish feed mills is different, and the price is of course different, which is easy to understand. But for different customers, even if the required output is the same, the fish feed processing solutions we provide may be different. Because these customers have differences in raw materials, formulas, plant areas, plant heights, and investment budgets, etc.

Therefore, if you need to build a 0.1-10t/h fish aqua feed plant, please contact us to customize your exclusive plan and configure the most suitable fish feed equipment for you. The following fish feed mill plant costs with different outputs are all derived from the program data we have done. This price range is suitable for more than 90% of customers.

The above prices are just for reference. In actual equipment configuration, the prices of many production lines will be higher than these ranges. For example, a Russian 1-2 ton fish feed production line that we sold on December 8, 2024, this production line processes floating fish feed, sinking fish feed, pet feed and shrimp feed at the same time. According to customer needs, the final price of the production line equipment is US$910,000. It is more expensive than many high-yield fish feed lines.Therefore, if you want an accurate fish feed mill plant cost, you need to comprehensively determine the feed type, process type, plant structure, and actual needs.

fish feed mill plant videos

Here are two videos of our fish feed plant projects: 5t/h Russia floating fish feed mill plant project and 1-2t/h Iran shrimp fish feed processing plant project. Both of these are very representative projects of RICHI.

Different fish feed process must mean different fish feed mill plant cost. At Richi Machinery, we’re committed to providing quality turnkey fish feed making plant project solutions; and we strive to do everything right the first time. That’s because we know that any major construction project is a major investment for your company, and we respect both your time and your money.

Extrusion or pelletizing

The fish feed lines we can provide include three categories: extruded fish feed mill, pelletized fish feed plant and compound production line (fish and other aquatic feed, livestock feed, or pet feed).

Among them, the cost of fish feed mill using extrusion process must be higher than that of pelletized fish feed line.

Because in the extrusion process, it is necessary to configure extruders, dryers, sprayers and other equipment. Based on the processing of high-end fish feed, it is also necessary to configure two crushing and two mixing processes. The second crushing usually requires an ultra-fine grinder, which is much more expensive than a general hammer mill. The price of fish feed extruders is higher than that of fish feed pelletizers, especially twin-screw extruders. In the configuration of some high-end fish feed production lines, vacuum sprayers, fully automatic packaging and palletizing systems, etc. are also required.

floating feed

extrusion technology

The extruder process is mainly used to process extruded floating fish pellet feed. Floating fish feed must use extruder process. The processing of high-grade aquatic feed also belongs to this type.

  • fish feed plant cost: 30,000-3,000,000 USD
  • Capacity: 0.1-60 t/h, The minimum output we can provide is 100 kg/h and the maximum output is 60 t/h
sinking pellet

pelletizing technology

The pelleting process is mainly used to process hard pellet feed. The puffing process can also be used, and the price is equal to the price of the floating fish processing factory.

  • fish feed plant cost: 10,000-2,500,000USD
  • Capacity: 1-100 t/h, The minimum output we can provide is 1 t/h and the maximum output is 100 t/h
300-350kg Small Scale Fish Feed Plant

This is a fish feed mill design using dry extrusion technology, which has been adopted in many fish farms. For fish farms, the investment price of this production line is low, but it can realize the automation of fish feed processing. For fish farms, processing fish feed by themselves is an important way to reduce the cost of fish farming.

For fish farms, processing fish feed by themselves is an important way to reduce the cost of fish farming. For small fish feed lines, we have 100-150kg, 200-250kg, 300-350kg, 400-500kg, 600-700kg, 700-800kg and other specifications to choose from. It can also be customized according to customer needs.

fish feed mill plant construction

01 Project Cost

Many other costs involved in the project other than feed mill like boiler, transformer, genset, civil work, taxes, transportation, Weigh Bridge, warehouse, building construction, working capital, etc. Hence considering all the fish feed mill plant costs in the project report is essential. This is also stated above.

02 Market Area

Future trends and concentration of aqua and other animal production, demand & availability of feed, demand & availability of raw material, grain surplus or deficit area, kind of feed grains grown and fed, future trends in feed potential, etc.

03 Competition in the Market

Kinds & prices of feeds sold, credit policy of competitors, services offered to customers, the local market share, manpower availability & cost, nature of farmers & traders, discount policy, the trend of on-farm grinding and mixing.

04 Selecting the Fish feed mill plant Site

Condition of Roads, Availability of Power, Water, And Main Power, Drainage & Nature of the Soil, Water Level, Federal and Local Regulation & AIR Quality, The Attitude of Local People and Government Towards A New Feed Manual rules, etc. All these factors must be taken into consideration while selecting a site for a fish feed mill.

05 Project Feasibility

Raw Material Cost + Processing cost + Packaging + over heads = Total Cost of fish feed mill plant production

Where raw material is grains like maize, soya, cakes, oils, molasses, medicines, supplements, etc.; processing cost involves boiler fuel, electricity, labor, maintenance, general wear & tear; packaging cost for PT Bags and overheads are depreciation, bank interest, salaries, promotions & branding, etc.

Hence, all the above factors affect the cost of production. Considering all these factors and working capital, selling price & profits, we can easily calculate the fish feed mill plant project feasibility & return on investment.
