The US Aquaculture Market

American aquaculture is a strategic growth point for seafood supply, transitioning rapidly to technology-driven modernization. Domestic production meets only about 25% of demand, but huge consumption potential and import gaps drive industry expansion, ensuring stable demand for high-quality feed.
However, challenges exist, many related to feed.
Reliance on imported fishmeal/oil exposes the sector to market volatility. Stricter environmental regulations increase demands on emissions and digestibility. Lack of customized feed research limits yield and health improvements.
With sustainable practices advancing, demand grows for high-performance, low-waste, adjustable-pellet feed.
Flexible, multi-species equipment supporting floating/sinking pellets becomes key. Professional guidance and after-sales services reduce costs, boost efficiency, stabilize markets, and enhance profitability.
Dettagli del progetto del cliente
A farming enterprise in the eastern United States invested in building a multi-functional production line to meet the demand for catfish, tilapia, salmon, and pet food.
This line can flexibly produce fish feed pellets ranging from 1–6 mm and pet food measuring 2–12 mm, accommodating both floating and sinking pellets. It also handles various raw materials, helping the company quickly increase output and diversify its product range.
During the planning phase, the client’s primary concern was finding equipment that was efficient, stable, and user-friendly. They wanted the production line to be compatible with commonly used American raw materials like corn, soybean meal, and fishmeal, while ensuring uniform pellet formation and consistent nutrition across different sizes.
After multiple rounds of proposal comparisons and technical discussions, the client ultimately chose our customized production line, which not only met their daily output requirements but also left room for future expansion.
Since going into operation, the pellets produced for fish feed and pet food have become more uniform and stable in shape. Sinking fish feed remains intact even when submerged, while floating pellets are easy to dispense. Pet food pellet sizes can also be adjusted flexibly according to different species.


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

Is the focus primarily on fish feed, or does it aim to balance both fish feed and pet food production?

Are the moisture content, particle size, and protein levels of raw materials stable?

Is there a preference for dry extrusion, wet extrusion, or twin-screw extrusion processes?

How large is the workshop area approximately? Are there any special requirements for equipment layout?
Based on this information, we design a more tailored solution for the client, ensuring that fish feed and pet food production equipment configuration and process design are fully aligned with client’s specific needs, helping them resolve operational challenges.
As requested by this customer from the US, the equipment configuration of this 1.5-2 ton/hour fish feed & pet food mill is very complete.
The final fish feed & pet food mill primarily includes the following parts:
Impianto di frantumazione
Quickly crushes raw materials into uniform particles, ensuring smooth mixing and extrusion later. Efficient, time-saving, and capable of handling various ingredients.
01
Sistema di miscelazione
Blends all materials evenly so every pellet has consistent nutrition. Fast, effective, and avoids product differences.
02
Sistema di estrusione
Shapes mixed materials into pellets that can be either floating or sinking. Pellets are dense, stable, and retain nutrients.
03
Sistema di essiccazione
Removes excess moisture to extend feed shelf life. Dries evenly without cracking or powdering.
04
Sistema di irrorazione
Sprays oil, pigments, or additives onto pellet surfaces to make them more appealing to fish/shrimp and improve nutrient absorption.
05
Sistema di raffreddamento
Rapidly cools hot pellets to maintain shape and hardness. Fast cooling prevents clumping and eases packaging.
06
Packaging System
Automatically weighs, seals, and packages in one step. Saves labor, boosts efficiency, and ensures neat, market-ready products.

Complete Fish Feed & Pet Food Production Line Delivery Process

Produzione meccanica
After the customer confirmed the plan and signed the contract, our factory immediately began production. All feed equipment used in this 1.5-2 ton/hour fish feed and pet food mill in the US is self-manufactured by RICHI, with some key components custom-made based on the client’s raw material type and process needs.
Durante la produzione, i nostri ingegneri controllano meticolosamente ogni fase — dalla selezione dei materiali all’assemblaggio e alla messa in servizio — seguendo standard di qualità uniformi per garantire prestazioni affidabili e un funzionamento stabile.
Allo stesso tempo, per tenere i clienti maggiormente informati sui progressi, realizziamo regolarmente foto e video del processo di produzione delle attrezzature, mettendo in evidenza le attrezzature principali e i semilavorati. In questo modo, i clienti possono vedere chiaramente l’intero processo di stampaggio, fase per fase, dell’intera linea di produzione, anche se non si trovano sul posto.

Consegna delle attrezzature
Once all fish feed & pet food production equipment is fully manufactured and the necessary accessories for the fish feed & pet food production line are prepared, we will arrange shipment according to the delivery schedule confirmed with you.
In qualità di azienda produttrice di lunga tradizione nel settore delle attrezzature per mangimi, disponiamo di un sistema di distribuzione globale ben consolidato. Le nostre attrezzature per la produzione di mangimi sono state esportate con successo in oltre 140 paesi e regioni.

Installazione, messa in servizio e formazione
Una volta che l'attrezzatura è stata consegnata presso il cantiere del cliente, offriamo diverse opzioni di assistenza per l'installazione: potete installarla autonomamente oppure richiedere l'assistenza in loco dei nostri tecnici.
Per questo progetto, i clienti hanno optato per l'autoinstallazione. Per garantire un'installazione senza intoppi, abbiamo fornito in anticipo disegni di installazione dettagliati e abbiamo offerto assistenza online. Qualora dovessero sorgere problemi durante l'installazione, il nostro team tecnico fornirà tempestivamente le soluzioni necessarie per garantire il corretto funzionamento della linea.
After the feed production line is installed and commissioned, we provide clients with training, either online or on-site. This training covers equipment operation, routine maintenance, and production process management, ensuring safe and skilled use of the entire feed production line.
Valutazione dei clienti e stato di avanzamento del progetto
Recently, our after-sales department received the client’s feedback:
This fish feed and pet food production line has been a total lifesaver!
The equipment’s so easy to operate—our team got the hang of it in just a few days. We can tweak the pellet size however we want, and both the floating and sinking types stay super stable. Best of all, none of the nutrients get lost in the process.
The whole line runs like a dream—super efficient and saves us so much hassle. And the after-sales service? Top-notch. Whenever we run into a problem, someone’s there right away to walk us through it.
The return on investment was even faster than we expected. Honestly, we’re really thrilled with this collaboration!
