Shrimp Feed Pellet Machine

Step 1 : Raw Materials Quality Check

Domestic and imported raw materials that reached our factory will be checked in our inhouse laboratory based on different parameters like Protein, Fat, Moisture, Appearance, Toxins, Fiber etc. Only material that passes our stringent standards will go into our feed.

Step 2 : Batching

Each batch of different raw materials will be weighed as per the formula. We use precision computer automated batching system to get accurate weights for every batch.

Step 3 : Premixing

Materials are that are weighed based on formula will be mixed with premixes to form a uniform material that will be fed into coarse grinding.

Step 4 : Coarse Grinding

We use fine hammer mill to grind all materials into moderately fine powder.

Step 5 : Fine Grinding

Shrimp mouths are very small, so it is very important to grind materials into very small particles so that shrimp can feed on them. We use latest generation high intensity pulverizes to fine grind feed. The technicians need to check each batch after pulverizing to make sure that feed is grinded to required fineness.

Step 6 : Second batching & mixing

Fine powder feed coming from ultrafine-pulverizer will be mixed with vitamins, minerals and other medicines, Fish oil, Lecithin etc. to get uniform mixture. We use ultramodern mixers to get at least 98% uniformity, This step is very important because this ensures that all pellets get uniform composition of nutrients so that all shrimp get same nutrition.

We extensively automated this step to ensure highest quality shrimp feed. All Fish oil, Lecithin, Water are weighed and spayed directly by computer so that it will be accurate for each and every batch.

Every time to make sure medicines and vitamins and minerals are mixed an alarm will sound only after worker confirms mixing complete machine restarts, this whole process is videotaped. All mixing and spraying times are controlled by computer to make sure every batch will be mixed.

Step 7 : Pre-Conditioning

Mixed feed from previous step will be cooked in steam in this process, this increases digestibility as well as water stability. Our pre-condition system uses 4 step process, this is most modern available in the world. We tweaked it to give more condition time than any other system in the world.

Step 8 : Pelleting

This cooked feed will be made into small pellets. Our shrimp feed pellet machine system based on 30 years proven pelleting & extrusion technology can make the 1 -3mm pellets.

Step 9 : Post-Conditioning

Pellets made in pelletizer for shrimp feed will be further cooked (conditioned) in Post-Conditioner, this not only increases digestibility of feed, also increases water stability further. Our special post conditioning system is enhanced to give at least one our post-conditioning, as well as choice of direct or indirect steam.

This system is further automated with computer system to make sure always same steam heat is maintained

Step 10 : Drying

Pellets from post conditioner will be dried to decrease moisture to store it.

Step 11 : Cooling

Pellets will be cooled to room temperature to store in bags.

Step 12 : Crumbling (Only for Starter Feeds)

Crumbling is optional step for starter feeds. Crumbling will break pellets in 1,2,3 size crumbles to be small for PL size shrimp.

Step 13 : Screening

Small shrimp pellet pieces, powder and big lumps will be screened out to filter required length pellets.

Step 14 : Packing

In final step, shrimp pellet feed will be weighed and packed in bags by automated packing system. This is hands free system, no workers will touch feed in the process, this avoids contamination by hands, and computer weighing provides accurate weighing of bags.

The price of a shrimp prawn feed pellet machine  is generally between 7,000-100,000 USD.

Shrimp feed pellet machine is a common pellet forming equipment used in the field of shrimp feed processing. In the market, the price of shrimp feed pellet machine varies depending on many factors such as brand, specification, configuration, production process, etc.

Let’s take a look at the relevant information about the price of shrimp feed pellet machine.

1. Brand factor: The more well-known the brand of shrimp feed pellet machine and the more mature the technology, the higher the price tends to be. Some well-known brands of whole pellet machine, the product quality and after-sales service of these brands are more reliable, and the price is correspondingly higher.
2. Specification factor: The specifications of shrimp feed pellet machine are different, and the price will also be different. The larger the specifications and the stronger the processing capacity, the higher the price tends to be.
3. Configuration factor: The configuration of pellet machine for prawn shrimp includes motor, ring die, roller, conditioner, bearing, gear and other parts. Different configurations will also affect the price of shrimp feed pellet machine. For example, some high-end whole crushers are equipped with more advanced control systems, etc., and the price is relatively high.
4. Production process factors: The different processes and materials required to produce shrimp feed pelletizers will also affect the price. For example, shrimp feed pelletizers produced with higher-strength stainless steel materials may be more expensive than those made of low-strength carbon steel.

In addition, market competition is also one of the factors that affect the price of shrimp prawn feed making machines. When market competition is fierce, manufacturers often adopt some promotional strategies, such as price cuts and free accessories, to attract more consumers. At this time, consumers can seize the opportunity to buy the desired shrimp feed pellet mill at a more favorable price.

In addition to the purchase price, the use cost of the shrimp feed making machine also needs to be considered. The use cost of the shrimp feed pellet machine includes equipment operation and maintenance costs, energy consumption costs, labor costs, etc.

When selecting a shrimp pellet machine, it is necessary to comprehensively consider factors such as the equipment’s production capacity, energy consumption, and the difficulty of maintenance and repair to select the most suitable model for their own use, thereby reducing the use cost of the shrimp feeds machine.

In short, the shrimp feed pellet machine price is affected by many factors. Shrimp feed processors need to consider different factors comprehensively when choosing to buy, and make wise decisions based on actual conditions.

At the same time, the quality and after-sales service of the shrimp prawn feed pellet machine are also very important. You can obtain more comprehensive and accurate information by consulting the manufacturer and consulting relevant materials, so as to choose the appropriate shrimp feed pellet machine products.

In addition to the pelleting process, we can also provide extruded feed equipment and processes to process extruded shrimp feed.

• Starch is commonly used as a binder that helps hold pellets together but starch has very little nutritional value for shrimp. Substitution of starch with other protein sources inventible increases the nutritional value of the feed.
• Ingredients are ultra-fine grinded using RICHI unique double grinding technique using high-speed hammer mills. As a second stage size reduction a pulverizer can be introduced to ensure the demand for ultra-fine particles in the meal. Subsequently a screener recycles oversized particles back into the process line.
• All dry ingredients are mixed thoroughly using unique dual rotation batch paddle mixer.
• RICHI extrusion technology allows producers to formulate a feed with a reduced starch content –reducing it from the usual 25-35% inclusion to as low as 15-18% ultimately creating improved feed conversion rates and a higher quality end product. The extrusion technology also allows even starter feed to be produced directly on the shrimp prawn feed extruder without the need for a pellet crumbler, which creates large amounts of scrap or recycle fines.

Extrusion of shrimp feed as an alternative to pelleting enables feed producers to make a more nutritional high value product.

Shrimp feed processing requires very finely ground ingredients (less than 5 percent in Tyler 60 mesh screen) and die specifications with compression ratios of 20 to 22, not the 12 to 14 ratios commonly used in swine and broiler diets. More importantly, low production rates are required, because of die specifications and conditioning.

Adequate mash preconditioning in combination with proper post-pellet cooking can significantly improve the water stability of shrimp feed, when compared to feeds produced by preconditioning alone. Asian manufacturers of shrimp feed have commonly adopted this process. Their system typically consists of an enclosed horizontal conveyor where steam can be added.

With the growth of aquaculture, more feed mills are making changes to support it.
