Iran Aquaculture Market
The aquaculture industry in Iran has developed rapidly in recent years. The government not only gives support, but also introduces many advanced technologies, and the demand for good quality aquatic feed is increasing. In addition, with the increase of domestic consumption and the expansion of export market, more and more trout, carp, tilapia and Penaeus vannamei are raised, and there is a great market space for floating feed and shrimp feed specially for them.
Although the aquaculture market in Iran has broad prospects, its feed production still faces many challenges.
On the one hand, water shortage and environmental pollution make the scale of aquaculture unable to expand, and the demand for feed is unstable. On the other hand, the technical level of the feed industry is not high, and both the formula research and the production process have to be improved. The produced feed is either uneven or easy to disperse in water, which cannot meet the requirements of large-scale breeding for efficient and environmentally friendly feed.
In the future, Iran is expected to gradually realize the independent supply of aquatic feed as the government continues to introduce support policies and enterprises increase their investment in localized and cost-effective feed production lines.
For example, by introducing good puffing technology, optimizing feed formula with local corn and cottonseed meal, and developing some feeds with specific functions, Iran’s aquatic feed market will certainly have a good opportunity to upgrade its technology and expand its scale.
Détails du projet du client
This feed pellet production project is located in Iran and is mainly used to produce fish feed pellet and shrimp feed pellet, including both floating fish feed pellet and sinking fish feed pellets and shrimp feed pellets. This feed production line can produce 1.5-2 tons of extruded feed or 5-6 tons of sinking feed pellets per hour.
This client is a well-known aquatic product processor in Iran, mainly engaged in the processing of various fish products and the export of shrimps. Aquatic products are exported to many countries in the world, including Australia, Canada, Germany, China, etc.
At the beginning of 2022, they decided to start the business of aquatic feed production. Since they are engaged in the aquatic processing industry, they are relatively professional in the production of aquatic feed pellet. Therefore, when they are looking for aquatic feed pellet machine manufacturers, they can quickly identify the professionalism of the machinery manufacturers.
After the customer contacted us, he quickly determined that we were a professional aquatic feed pellet machine manufacturer, so after finalizing the design plan, he signed a contract with us.
The feed pellet production line is currently in operation, and the fish feed pellet it produces is not only for their own use but also sold to many aquaculture farms.
Custom-Tailtored Solution
This extruded fish & shrimp feed production line is a fully automatic feed pellet production line. The entire production process, from receiving and cleaning raw materials to crushing, extrusion/pelleting and packing, has a very high degree of automation, especially the packing section. The customer finally decided to use a fully automatic packing machine, which greatly saved manpower and improved the production efficiency of the feed pellet mill.
And because the customer’s site had height restrictions, we changed the design plan many times, and finally changed the aquatic feed pellet line that required a height of more than 20 meters to 8 meters.
When producing extruded aquatic feed, pellets are pelletized using feed extruder. The main production stages and processes are as follows:
Système de concassage
After being cleaned by the cleaning equipment and impurities in the raw materials are removed by the impurity removal equipment, the raw materials are sent to the hammer mill through the frequency conversion feeder.
01
Système de mélange
The crushed raw materials are fed into the mixer, and at the same time, premix, oil and water are added into the mixer through the small material feeding port. All raw materials in the formula are evenly mixed in the feed mixer.
02
Système d'extrusion
The main purpose of using aquatic feed extruder is to produce extruded feed. This customer uses the extruder to produce floating fish feed. The mixed raw materials are made into extruded pellets of different sizes through the extruder.
03
Système de séchage
The moisture content of the extruded feed is high, which is not easy to store and is prone to mold and deterioration, so it needs to be dried in a dryer. The moisture content of the feed after drying in the drying machine is about 11%, which can meet the requirements of long-term storage.
04
Système de pulvérisation
The dried feed is sprayed with a spraying machine. This is mainly to increase the fat content. After the surface of the feed is coated with a layer of oil, it can also improve the water resistance of the feed.
05
Cooling & Screening System
After the spraying process, the feed is first cooled in a cooler. Once it reaches room temperature, it is transferred to a screening machine.
Using multiple screen layers, this machine removes broken particles, lumps, and impurities, ultimately producing a qualified product with uniform particle size..
06
Packing System
After screening, the qualified feed pellets are packaged into 10-50 kg bagged feed by the packaging machine.
Packaged feed pellets are easier to store, use and sell.
07
When producing shrimp feed, pellets are pelletized using feed pellet machine.
When producing sinking feed pellet such as shrimp feed pellet, the process flow is: crushing section, mixing section, pelleting section, post-ripening section, cooling section, and packing section.
The production process of the equipment used in the crushing section, mixing section, cooling section, and packing section is very similar to the production process of extruded feed, but the pelleting section and post-ripening section are two sections that are different from the production of extruded feed and are needed to produce shrimp feed pellet:
Système de granulation
The equipment used to produce sinking aquatic feed pellet such as shrimp feed pellet is shrimp feed pellet machine with three-layer modulator. The mixed raw materials are modulated and pelletized in the pellet machine, and then cut into sinking feed pellets of different lengths.
03
Post-ripening System
The raw materials have been matured once in the modulator during the pelleting process. However, in order to meet the growth and development needs of aquatic organisms such as shrimp, the feed coming out of the pellet mill needs to be matured for the second time, and a maturer is needed at this time.

Complete fish & Shimp Feed Production Line Delivery Process
Production mécanique
Since this fish feed pellet and shrimp feed pellet production line is completely custom designed according to customer needs, many equipment on the feed pellet line, such as feed pellet machine, spraying machine, etc. and some auxiliary equipment, need to be produced according to the design.
So after the contract was signed, our production workshop immediately developed a 60-day production plan for this project. During the two-month production process, we will regularly send customers some pictures and videos of finished or semi-finished equipment, so that customers can understand our production process from beginning to end.
Livraison du matériel
After all the feed pellet equipment is produced within 2 months, we will ship it according to the delivery time communicated with the customer in advance.
Delivery is a very important link. We have complete delivery process, and our equipment has been exported to more than 140 countries and regions in the world. So no matter where your project is built, we can ensure that the equipment is delivered to your project location.
Installation, mise en service et formation
After the machines were delivered, we sent two engineers to the site to provide After the goods were delivered, we sent two engineers to the site to provide installation guidance. After the installation was completed, we provided training and guidance to the staff of the feed pellet mill. We have complete installation process, installation drawings, and detailed operating specifications, so the installation process for this customer was relatively smooth.
After the fish feed and shrimp feed pellet line was installed, we arranged professional after-sales staff to communicate with customers and help them solve all problems encountered during the production process.
Évaluation des clients et état d'avancement des projets
After eight months of full operation at our fish and shrimp feed production line in Iran, the manager shared genuine feedback with our after-sales department:
“The feed we looked for in Iran before was either unstable in quality or too expensive. In particular, shrimp feed and high-grade trout feed are basically imported, and the cost is overwhelming us. Later, I made up my mind to build an aquatic feed processing factory to produce fish and shrimp feed myself, just to take the initiative in my own hands and not be subject to others.
The floating fish feed made from this line now has a particularly stable expansion degree and will not disperse after being soaked in water for several hours. More importantly, we can finally make high-quality shrimp feed ourselves! The feed particles produced by this fish and shrimp feed production line are not easy to go bad when soaked in water. That’s why we have a very good reputation in the farms along the Persian Gulf, and we don’t have to look at the faces of importers anymore.
Also, the environment of our workshop is not good, it is hot and dusty in summer. At first, I was worried that the equipment of this production line could not support this environment. I didn’t expect the core components of this line to be particularly durable, such as the twin-screw extruder and cutter system, which have always been very reliable and have never dropped the chain.
On the whole, this investment is worth it! It’s not just a set of equipment. With it, the core competitiveness of our company can be really raised.”
Iran fish and shrimp feed production line’s value
Building modern fish and shrimp feed mills in Iran is crucial for seizing opportunities in upgrading aquaculture.
This plant offer dual benefits: using domestic crops (corn, barley) with extrusion tech creates reliable, easily digestible feed that improves farmer productivity. Plus, it eliminates import hassles and currency swings, securing steady supplies.
