Salmon & Trout Feed Production Line

Norway Aquaculture Market

Norway ranks among the world’s leading salmon farming nations, with its expanding aquaculture sector fueling continuous demand for fish feed. A handful of major producers dominate this market, focusing on premium species such as salmon and trout. Due to the government’s ongoing promotion of efficient and sustainable aquaculture practices, the entire feed market has grown steadily in size while increasingly relying on technological innovation to maintain competitive edges.

Yet Norway’s feed production remains heavily dependent on imported ingredients like fishmeal, fish oil, and soybean meal. Price volatility in these commodities directly affects production costs.

Meanwhile, stricter environmental standards require feed companies to reduce emissions and alleviate pressure on marine ecosystems, posing real challenges.

Although the industry is experimenting with new ingredients like insect meal and microalgae protein, their limited availability and high cost make them difficult to fully replace traditional formulations in the short term.

Going forward, three trends will likely shape Norway’s feed market:

Greater use of alternative proteins to cut import dependency; increased incorporation of locally sourced materials within circular economy frameworks; and development of precision nutrition strategies that improve feed efficiency, nutritional value, and eco-friendliness.

Detalles del proyecto del cliente

This project is initiated by a seasoned professional with over ten years of experience in the Nordic feed industry. He has worked for several international feed companies, deeply involved in nutritional formulation development and production management for salmon and trout, giving him mature insights into Norway’s aquafeed market.

As the industry evolves, he noticed that despite Norway being a global leader in salmon production, there remains significant market potential for small to medium-sized feed mills, especially in customized feed solutions, localized supply chains, and sustainable ingredient applications.

Based on this observation, he co-founded a new aquafeed company with three partners. Their vision is to build a modern, high-efficiency, eco-friendly, and smartly automated factory that meets the growing demand for premium floating feed in the region.

The plan involves constructing a 10-ton-per-hour fully automatic production line for salmon and trout feed in western Norway’s aquaculture hub. This line will specialize in high-performance floating feed suitable for major grow-out stages.

Formulations will center around high-protein sources like fishmeal, fish oil, and seaweed, combined with regionally available agricultural by-products such as barley, oats, soy, and rapeseed meal—striking a balance between nutrition and sustainability.

The entire system features sealed, modular, and customizable design, complying with stringent EU and Norwegian food safety and environmental standards, including GMP+, NS 9402, and REACH. It also allows future integration of carbon footprint tracking systems.

From raw material intake to extrusion, drying, coating, and packaging, every step is automatically controlled, ensuring consistent floating performance, nutrient retention, and batch-to-batch uniformity.

Solución a medida

No two customers have exactly the same aquaculture feed production needs. In the aquaculture industry, different aquaculture species and fish growth stages have different requirements for feed pellet size and nutritional composition.

RICHI always puts the real needs of customers first. Before providing a feed production solution, our engineers conducted a detailed consultation with the client:

What is the target fat/oil content of the finished pellets?

Does the finished product cooling equipment need special design to adapt to Norway’s cold and humid environment?

Do we need to consider the location of outdoor oil storage tanks and fishmeal silos?

Are there any special requirements regarding energy consumption?

Based on this information, we design a more tailored solution for the client, ensuring that salmon and trout feed pellet equipment configuration and process design are fully aligned with clients’ specific needs, helping them resolve operational challenges.

As requested by the clients from Norway, the equipment configuration of this 10 ton/hour salmon & trout feed production line is very complete.

The finalized salmon & trout feed production line primarily includes the following sections:

Sistema de pretratamiento

Sistema de trituración

Sistema de mezcla

Sistema de extrusión

Sistema de secado

Sistema de pulverización

Sistema de refrigeración y cribado

Sistema de envasado

Sistema de pretratamiento

Before raw materials enter the production line, they first pass through a drum pre-cleaner to remove impurities like rope fragments, stones, and lumps.
This step is an essential basic stage for high-capacity fish feed lines.

Sistema de trituración

The 10T/H salmon feed requires high grinding precision, so a two-stage process is used:
① Coarse Grinding: A hammer mill grinds bulk plant-based ingredients (barley, oats, rapeseed meal, soybeans, etc.) to medium fineness, preparing them for further processing.
② Fine Grinding: Salmon and trout feed formulas contain high-protein materials like fishmeal and seaweed powder, which require finer particles to improve pellet stability. This is done by a fine grinder.

Sistema de mezcla

Twin shaft paddle mixer ensures high mixing accuracy and speed, thoroughly blending protein sources, grains, and micro-ingredients.
Some liquid additives can be added at this stage (though high-fat components are typically handled in the coating system).

Sistema de extrusión

High-fat, high-protein salmon and trout feed requires a twin screw extruder to enhance cooking, expansion, and overall pellet stability.
Twin screws allow better control over density and shape.

Sistema de secado

Extruded pellets immediately enter a multi-layer belt dryer to reduce moisture content to a safe level. Temperature zones are controlled separately to protect nutrients in sensitive ingredients like fish oil and seaweed.

Sistema de pulverización

This is a crucial stage in premium fish feed production.
Vacuum coating evenly absorbs large amounts of fish oil or algal oil into the pellet core, making the feed more energy-dense, non-leaking, and non-sticky.
It’s key to achieving high-fat, high-energy formulations for salmon and trout.

Sistema de refrigeración y cribado

After coating, pellets remain slightly warm. Counter-flow air cooling gently lowers temperature, hardening the pellets and reducing breakage.
Cooled pellets then pass through sieves to separate qualified products from oversized pieces and dust. Fines can be returned for re-pelletizing, improving material utilization.

Sistema de envasado

Final products move via conveyor to fully automatic packaging machines for weighing, filling, and sealing.
Pack sizes can be customized for Norwegian market needs, such as 20kg, 25kg, or large 1-ton bags.
Automated packaging reduces labor costs and keeps the entire 10T/H line running continuously and efficiently.

Client Evaluation and Project Future

“We brought in a salmon and trout feed production line from RICHI last year. To be honest, we hesitated a lot before making this decision—it was no small investment, after all, and we’d been using equipment from well-established European manufacturers all along. But the end result has been totally satisfying.

Once, when we were making high-fat feed, there was a little glitch with the oil injection system, which made the oil distribution in that batch of feed uneven. We were pretty stressed about it and contacted them right away. To our surprise, they responded super quickly—they diagnosed and fixed the problem in no time through a video call, and later even updated the operation manual specifically for us.

This incident actually put our minds at ease even more. Because reliable after-sales service beats any sales pitch hands down. It’s been a partnership that’s well beyond our expectations.”

Norway Salmon & Trout Feed Production Line: Value and Trend

Localized salmon and trout feed production lines ensure more stable and flexible supply, reducing reliance on imports and long queues at large factories.

More Norwegian feed producers are now seeking production solutions that save energy, use diverse raw materials flexibly, and require simpler maintenance.

Types of Feed Suitable for Production In Norway

Norway’s farming structure is very distinct, so the types of feed suitable for production are also clear. It primarily focuses on marine fish feed, followed by livestock feed.

(1) Piensos para acuicultura

Norway’s aquaculture is a world-class industry, making aquatic feed the most important and in-demand category locally.

Salmon Feed

Norway is the world’s largest salmon producer, with long-term, stable demand for salmon feed.

Trout Feed

Trout is one of Norway’s main freshwater farmed species.

Cod & Halibut Feed

This type of feed represents an emerging growth direction for Norway.

(2) Piensos para ganado y aves de corral

Although not as large-scale as aquatic feed, Norway still has stable local demand from its livestock sector, suitable for producing conventional pellet feed.

Cattle and Sheep Feed

Norway has abundant grassland resources, with cattle and sheep farming distributed nationwide.

Chicken Feed

（3）Fur Animal Feed – Unique To Norway

Norway was historically one of the world’s major fur animal producers. Although the industry’s scale has decreased, there are still a number of mink and fox farms.
