Market Insights: Ukraine’s Aquaculture & Floating Fish Feed Machine Market
Ukraine’s aquaculture relies on abundant freshwater resources. The industry focuses on traditional Carp, alongside species like Crucian Carp, Silver Carp, and Bighead Carp. It also has a foundation for high-value Trout and Sturgeon farming. Currently, the market is driven by traditional pond and reservoir farming.
However, there is a mismatch between farming methods and processing technology.
While demand for compound feed is rising, production still relies heavily on basic pellets. Floating extruded feed is underused. The lack of automation and precise formula control affects feed efficiency and overall farming returns.
With the expansion of farming scale, the need for efficient processing is growing.
The market is now upgrading to machines that can produce both floating and sinking feed. Automated batching and high-stability extrusion lines are key priorities.
In the future, low-cost pellets for basic fish like Carp will see steady growth. Meanwhile, high-value species like Trout and Sturgeon will drive the market for premium extruded feed.
Details of the 600Kg/H Fish Feed Pellet Line Project in Ukraine
This small fish feed production system was built to meet the specific aquaculture needs and supply goals of our Ukrainian client. The goal is to achieve self-sufficiency by reducing dependence on external feed suppliers. The line allows for flexible formula adjustments for different growth stages, improving feed efficiency and profitability. We adopted an extrusion process to produce both floating and sinking pellets, perfectly matching local raw materials.
Key Features:
Capacity: 600kg/h.
Full Process: Grinding, mixing, extrusion, drying, cooling and screening.
Automation: Fully automated and continuous operation ensures stable quality while saving labor.
Flexibility: Adjustable dies and settings allow for various pellet sizes to meet diverse market needs.
Client-Focused Solution:
Our client prioritized adaptability to local ingredients (corn, wheat, soybean meal) and scalability. The system is designed for easy capacity upgrades, supporting future market growth.
For our client, this project marks a major step forward—transforming from traditional farming to a stable, self-sufficient feed processing operation.
Tailored Solutions for 600KG/H Fish Feed Pellet Line
RICHI always puts the customer’s actual needs first. Before finalizing the 600kg/h fish feed pellet line for our Ukrainian client, our engineering team engaged in in-depth, multi-round discussions. We analyzed key factors including raw materials, target fish species, finished product specifications, automation requirements, and future expansion plans.
Flexibility: The client required a line that meets daily production needs while remaining adaptable to future market changes and product adjustments.
Material Versatility: We prioritized the equipment’s ability to handle various conventional raw materials, such as corn, wheat, and soybean meal.
Optimized Processing: Based on local feed formulas, we optimized grinding fineness, extrusion stability, and pellet forming quality.
Variable Specifications: The line supports the production of fish feed pellets in different sizes to meet the needs of various growth stages.
Easy Adjustments: We ensured flexibility in die changes and process parameter adjustments, making it easy to switch between different products.
Scalability: The entire line is designed with room for capacity upgrades, allowing for future expansion into new species and feed products.
To meet the specific demand for floating fish feed, we optimized grinding fineness, extrusion stability, and pellet uniformity during the configuration phase. We also balanced operational efficiency with ease of maintenance, helping the client achieve stable and efficient production.
The fish feed pellet plant we designed for them mainly includes the following process stages:
Crushing System
Designed for the high fineness requirements of fish feed, our grinding system ensures stable and efficient processing of materials like corn, wheat, and soybean meal. It creates a uniform base for extrusion, resulting in stable pellets and better digestion for the fish.
01
Mixing System
Achieve perfect ingredient integration. Our mixing system ensures every batch has a consistent nutrient ratio. Designed around your specific formulas, it combines high efficiency with stability, eliminating quality risks caused by uneven mixing.
02
Extrusion System
The heart of the production line. Our extrusion system forms the pellets using high-temperature and high-pressure technology. It produces both floating and sinking feed for different fish species, while improving taste, water stability, and nutrient absorption.
03
Drying System
After extrusion, the pellets enter the drying section to precisely control moisture content, preventing issues during storage and transportation. The optimized drying process also enhances the surface quality, ensuring the final product is uniform and stable.
04
Spraying System
Boost feed’s value. The coating system adds oils, vitamins, and liquid nutrients based on your formulas. This enhances nutritional value and palatability, giving the finished feed pellet a strong edge in the market.
05
Cooling & Screening System
Ensuring perfect final quality. The system cools the pellets to increase hardness and stability, while screening out powder and defective pellets. The result is uniform, neat pellets ready for easy packaging, transport, and storage.

Complete fish feed Making Machines delivery process
Machine Production
After the customer confirmed the plan and signed the contract, our factory immediately began production.
During production, our engineers rigorously monitor every step—from material selection to assembly and commissioning—following unified quality standards to ensure reliable performance and stable operation.
At the same time, to let customers know the progress more, we regularly capture photos and videos of the equipment manufacturing process, showcasing key equipment and semi-finished products. In this way, customers can clearly see the whole process of step-by-step molding of the whole production line even if they are not on site.
Equipment Delivery
Once all fish feed production equipment is fully manufactured and the necessary accessories for the production line are prepared, we will arrange shipment according to the delivery schedule confirmed with you.
As a long-established manufacturer in the feed equipment industry, we have a mature global delivery system. Our feed equipment has been successfully exported to over 140 countries and regions.
Installation, Commissioning, and Training
After the equipment arrives at the customer’s project site, we offer flexible installation support options: You can install it yourself or have our engineers assist on-site.
For this project, the customers chose self-installation. To ensure a smooth installation, we provided detailed installation drawings in advance and provided online guidance. If any problems arise during installation, our technical team will timely provide solutions to get the line running smoothly.
Upon the completion of installation and commissioning, we provide on-site or remote training covering equipment operation, maintenance, and production management. This ensures our clients achieve stable production quickly.
Furthermore, we offer comprehensive after-sales service and spare parts support. Even after the warranty period, clients can always access our technical assistance, guaranteeing the long-term stable operation of the equipment.
Customer Evaluation and Project Operation Status
“Эта линия по производству рыбного корма производительностью 600 кг/ч работает даже стабильнее, чем мы ожидали, и управлять оборудованием довольно просто.
На этапе проектирования специалисты RICHI всё продумали очень внимательно — учли наше сырьё, потребности хозяйства и даже оставили возможность для дальнейшего расширения производства. Сейчас мы уже можем самостоятельно производить корм разных размеров, гранулы получаются ровными, а плавучесть полностью соответствует нашим требованиям.
Для нас эта линия не только помогла снизить затраты на покупку готового корма, но и сделала всё производство более гибким и стабильным.”
