Industrial Tilapia Feed Mill in Philippines with Two Product Routes

The industrial tilapia feed mill in Philippines serves a farm business and its dealers with two product formats: 6 T/H of floating feed and 4 T/H of sinking pellets. Shared ingredient preparation supports dedicated extrusion and ring-die finishing routes.

RICHI coordinates the animal feed production plant around existing premises, the customer’s formulas and its dispatch schedule. A 36,000-tonne annual basis gives the business capacity for planned farm supply and dealer orders, with product identity and quality checks maintained from mixing through packing.

Feed Supply That Fits the Farm and the Dealer

Floating pellets make feeding activity visible at the surface. Sinking pellets serve buyers whose feeding method calls for a denser product. The customer’s commercial requirement is to supply both formats consistently, with the selected size, nutritional specification and packing weight on each order.

The industrial tilapia feed mill in Philippines separates these duties after mixing. Expansion is controlled in the extruder for floating products, while the pellet press produces the sinking range. Operators can run both routes within the common preparation capacity or schedule one route around a smaller order.

For the buyer, this aquafeed manufacturing plant offers product choice while sharing the receiving, main batching and mixing systems. The budget goes toward machinery that performs a distinct duty, including adequate drying for the floating product.

Building Readiness Before Equipment Arrival

The site programme starts with an assessment of the existing buildings, electrical service and truck access. The dryer needs an adequate installation bay; the extruder needs access for screw and barrel servicing; ingredient intake needs a protected unloading point.

The industrial tilapia feed mill in Philippines uses a defined sequence for material trials, equipment selection, layout confirmation, utility preparation and installation. Staff training and product acceptance follow the machinery checks. Actual delivery dates depend on the equipment schedule and the customer’s readiness milestones.

A 3,500 m² covered allocation sits within an 8,000 m² site basis. Processing uses 1,100 m², ingredient handling 1,500 m², finished goods 700 m² and service rooms 200 m². These spaces support the production routes alongside sampling, cleaning and loading.

Ingredients Selected for Nutrition and Reliable Handling

Soybean meal, suitable fish meal and other qualified protein ingredients provide formulation options. Wheat products support the starch fraction required for extrusion. Locally sourced rice bran can contribute to selected formulas when moisture, freshness and composition meet purchasing limits.

Material group	Key intake check	Route through preparation
Whole cereals	Moisture, cleanliness and particle condition	Cleaning and coarse grinding
Protein meals	Identity, protein, spoilage and contaminant risk	Lump removal and fine preparation as required
Rice bran and cereal by-products	Freshness, fibre and fat stability	Controlled weighing at approved inclusion
Minerals and premix	Supplier qualification and lot identity	Separate dosing after fine grinding
Oil	Quality and metering accuracy	Measured addition at the selected process stage

The industrial tilapia feed mill in Philippines uses formulas approved for the customer’s fish and growth stages. Ingredient substitution follows nutritional evaluation. A high availability of one by-product does not justify putting it into every formula at the same rate.

Rain protection and prompt stock rotation matter in the Philippine climate. Storage management protects the value of the incoming ingredients before processing begins.

A Product Range with Defined Factory Duties

Finished product	Production duty	Typical grow-out size basis	Annual basis
Floating tilapia feed	6 T/H extrusion route	2–5 mm, selected by feeding programme	21,600 tonnes
Sinking tilapia pellets	4 T/H ring-die route	3–4 mm, subject to formulation trials	14,400 tonnes
Combined finished feed	10 T/H	Separate product and lot identification	36,000 tonnes

The industrial tilapia feed mill in Philippines is rated at saleable finished-feed condition. The floating tilapia feed production line uses a dry finished-product rating, with wet extrudate assessed separately when sizing the dryer. Fine fry products, unusually high-fat formulas or smaller die holes require their own capacity review.

Floating performance, water stability, fines and moisture are checked against the customer’s specification. These measurable product characteristics help a dealer explain the feed range and help a farm compare successive deliveries.

RICHI MACHINERY

Equipment That Matches the Two Finishing Routes

Equipment duty	Selection	Quantity	Purpose
Coarse cereal preparation	Hammer mill feed grinder, 110 kW main drive	1	Prepare whole grain before the aquatic grind
Fine grinding	Fine grinder, 220 kW main drive	1	Serve the combined dry ingredient preparation duty
Formulation mixing	1-tonne batch mixer	1	A 5-minute complete cycle gives 12 T/H theoretical capacity
Sinking pellets	Animal feed pellet mill, SZLH420, 110 kW main drive	1	Operate at the selected 4 T/H aquafeed duty
Floating feed	Twin screw extruder, SPHS150×2, 200 kW main drive	1	Supply the selected 6 T/H extrusion duty
Floating-feed drying	fish feed dryer machine, 2 tonnes/hour water evaporation basis	1	Handle the moisture load after extrusion
Oil coating	Metered coating system for the floating route	1	Apply the recipe’s post-extrusion oil
Final packing	25 kg bagging, sealing and lot marking	1	At least 10 bags/minute, supported by separate finished buffers

The common mixer has capacity above the combined forming demand. Minor ingredients enter after fine grinding, protecting the dosing sequence and keeping the nutritional batch definition intact. The pellet route has its own conditioner and cooler; the extrusion route has its own dryer and cooler.

This industrial tilapia feed mill in Philippines uses one machine for each principal forming duty. Additional small forming machines would add maintenance and controls without creating a needed product route.

Shared Preparation, Separate Pelleting and Extrusion

The fish feed production line keeps common operations together and divides the flow only where the product requires a different treatment.

Clean and prepare the cereals

Receiving screens and magnets remove coarse impurities and ferrous metal. Whole grains pass through coarse grinding. Qualified powders bypass that stage when their condition allows it.

Fine-grind the main ingredients

The major ingredient portion is proportioned and brought to the particle specification needed for the selected feed. Sampling verifies the result; grinder screen selection follows the formulation and product diameter.

Complete the nutritional batch

The weighed premix, minerals and scheduled liquid additions enter the final mixer. The full mixing cycle includes filling, mixing and discharge. Buffer bins absorb the transfer between batch preparation and continuous forming.

Form sinking feed

The sinking-feed conditioner adds controlled steam before the Ring die feed pellet machine. Die geometry and retention conditions are selected for the sinking product. Cooling and screening finish this route without sending the pellets through the extrusion dryer.

Extrude floating feed

The twin-screw fish feed extruder processes the conditioned blend with controlled mechanical and thermal input. Screw configuration, feed rate and die selection establish the required size and expansion. Floating-feed acceptance includes density and water behaviour as well as appearance.

Dry to the release moisture

At 6 T/H finished feed with 2% post-coating oil, the dried pellet base is approximately 5.88 T/H. Reducing a 29% moisture wet extrudate to a 10% moisture dried base gives a reference evaporation load of about 1.57 tonnes of water per hour. The 2-tonne/hour dryer basis provides operating room for this duty.

Coat, cool and screen

Oil is metered to the recipe after drying. The floating pellets then cool before screening and storage. Fines return only through an identified, compatible rework procedure; rejected material does not move indiscriminately between product lots.

Pack the correct product

Separate finished buffers let the shared bagging line work by product lot. Operators verify the feed identity, bag weight, label and sealing condition before release.

Utilities Sized Around Drying and Conditioning

An 850 kW connected electrical basis covers the 110 kW coarse grinder, 220 kW fine grinder, 200 kW extruder, 110 kW pellet press and supporting drives. Electrical design considers motor starting and the operating sequence rather than treating every nameplate value as constant energy consumption.

The dryer has a 3 MW thermal input basis, with the final heat source selected to suit site fuel availability and the approved emissions arrangement. One 2-tonne/hour steam boiler supports the two conditioning duties. Feed-safe separation between combustion and product heating is specified for the selected dryer arrangement.

Fresh-water provision is assessed around 3 m³/hour at process peak, including boiler make-up and process additions, with domestic demand and local treatment considered separately. The industrial tilapia feed mill in Philippines also needs compressed air, dust extraction, suitable drainage and a practical maintenance area.

Equipment Cost and Project Investment Scope

Investment item	Budget
Equipment cost	USD 685,000
Total project investment	USD 1,020,000

The equipment budget covers the shared preparation train, one sinking-pellet train, one floating-feed extrusion train, the dryer, coating, conveying, steam equipment, dust extraction, packing and controls. The total allows for freight, installation, building adaptation, foundations, utility connections, commissioning and contingency.

Existing land and buildings are part of the scope basis. Major upstream grid reinforcement and recoverable taxes require separate site treatment. Comparing this animal feed processing plant with a greenfield factory therefore requires the buyer to compare the same building and utility obligations.

Product Checks That Support Repeat Orders

Feed buyers need to know that the next delivery will behave like the previous one. Weighing calibration, mixer verification, particle checks, moisture release and pellet grading create that consistency at successive points in the industrial tilapia feed mill in Philippines.

Capacity acceptance uses the agreed formulations and pellet sizes. Floating percentage and water stability are tested under a defined method; they are not inferred from the extruder motor rating. The customer can then maintain a product specification that dealers and farm managers can understand.

The operating team basis is 24 people: nine per shift and six shared staff for laboratory work, maintenance, purchasing and administration. Training gives each shift responsibility for ingredient identity, process records and release decisions.

Serving Philippine Tilapia Buyers with the Right Feed Format

Tilapia is an established Philippine aquaculture species. Factory demand still depends on the customer’s own farm stocking programme, dealer network and delivery reach. A practical feed business plans the product mix against those customers instead of equating national fish production with orders for one factory.

The sinking fish feed production line uses the animal feed pellet plant route, while the extrusion fish feed production line serves the floating range. The industrial tilapia feed mill in Philippines combines both in a coordinated supply operation, with different product conditions retained through packing.

For a farmer, dependable particle size and product identity simplify feeding management. For a dealer, a clearly defined range and planned delivery schedule make stock management easier. Those are concrete reasons to choose a supplier with control over its own production.

Plan Your Industrial Tilapia Feed Mill in Philippines with RICHI

RICHI’s feed mill factory scope connects ingredient preparation, equipment selection, site layout and operator training. We assess the product requirement first, then match the grinder, mixer, forming machinery and dryer to that duty.

Can one extruder serve the floating-feed requirement?

One suitable twin-screw extruder is selected for the 6 T/H route. A separate sinking-pellet press performs the other product duty. Neither machine’s largest catalogue rating is added to the project capacity without confirming the finished-feed basis.

What should a buyer prepare for a useful proposal?

A useful proposal starts with a defined finished-feed product and the actual site conditions. Formula samples, pellet sizes and utility information establish the machinery duty and installation scope.
