Solutions Tailored to Brazil’s Fish and Shrimp Feed Production

Brazil is a leading global tilapia producer and a key shrimp farming market in South America. As farming scales expand and quality standards rise, feed companies are increasingly investing in specialized production lines to meet this growing demand.
Leveraging Brazil’s rich agricultural resources, local aquafeed formulas typically rely on base ingredients like soybean meal, corn, broken rice, and cassava meal, combined with protein sources such as fish meal. To match this unique requirement, the RICHI aquafeed production line is designed to process a wide variety of common raw materials, offering your business the flexibility to optimize feed formulas.
In markets focused on tilapia and shrimp, feed products must cover various specifications and growth stages. By adjusting formulas and processing parameters, a single system can produce both floating fish feed and shrimp feed. This allows you to flexibly adjust production plans in response to market changes.
Whether for a new regional project or an expansion of an existing feed mill, RICHI provides customized solutions based on your specific raw materials, target products, and capacity goals. We build fish and shrimp feed production systems that are perfectly aligned with the demands of the Brazilian market.
Details of Fish/Shrimp Feed Pellet Line Project in Brazil
This 8-ton-per-hour line is designed to produce high-quality fish and shrimp feed. Our client, a major aquaculture farmer, needed a dedicated feed system to ensure a stable supply and superior quality as their farming operations expanded.
The client required a single line that could produce both fish and shrimp feed, with the ability to adjust pellet sizes and formulas. Our solution was designed for easy switching between products to meet various market orders.
The line covers the full production process: raw material handling, mixing, extrusion, drying, sparying, cooling, and packaging. The extrusion system is key, allowing us to adjust settings to create the perfect pellets for both fish and shrimp. The drying and coating systems ensure the final product is stable and high-quality.
Regarding workshop layout, the design was customized to fit the client’s existing space, ensuring smooth operation and easy maintenance. Once running, the feed processing plant allows flexible production based on market demand, giving the client plenty of room for future product expansion.


Tailored Solutions for 8 T/H Shrimp Fish Feed Production Line
Before finalizing the 8 t/h fish and shrimp feed production plan for Brazil, our engineering team engaged in in-depth discussions with the client to confirm the following details:

Target pellet sizes and corresponding farming stages

Main local raw materials and formula characteristics

Required production capacity and operating hours

Desired level of automation and staffing needs

Workshop dimensions and layout conditions

Potential for adding new products in the future

Space reserved for future expansion

Local power supply and installation conditions
After fully understanding the client’s requirements, we finalized the complete fish and shrimp feed production solution.
The fish & shrimp feed production line mainly includes the following sections:
Crushing System
Raw materials like soybean meal and corn arrive at the factory already cleaned and screened. Therefore, no dedicated cleaning equipment is needed. The materials enter the workshop and go directly into the grinding section to achieve the required fineness for fish and shrimp feed.
01
Sistema di miscelazione
Since the client produces both fish and shrimp feed, the ingredient ratios vary by product. The mixing section ensures that soybean meal, corn, broken rice, and other raw materials are fully blended to create a uniform mixture.
02
Sistema di estrusione
This is the core of the entire production line. The equipment is designed to produce both fish and shrimp feed. By changing the molds and adjusting process parameters, it can create pellets of different specifications.
03
Sistema di essiccazione
Pellets coming out of the extruder have high temperature and moisture content, so they must go through the drying process. Both the fish and shrimp feed undergo this step before moving to the next stage.
04
Sistema di irrorazione
Some products require added oil, so the line is equipped with a coating unit. The client can adjust the oil addition amount based on the formula. Products that do not need coating can pass through directly.
05
Sistema di raffreddamento e vagliatura
After drying and coating, the pellets enter the cooling section to reduce their temperature. Then, a screening machine separates fine powder and broken pellets, ensuring the final product looks neat and consistent.
06
Packaging System
The client plans to sell the finished products to surrounding farms and feed markets. Therefore, the line is equipped with automatic weighing and packaging equipment, making storage and transportation convenient.
07
Key Equipment for the Brazil Fish and Shrimp Feed Plant

Produzione meccanica
Dopo che il cliente ha confermato il progetto e firmato il contratto, il nostro stabilimento ha avviato immediatamente la produzione.
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 & shrimp feed production equipment is fully manufactured and the necessary accessories for the aquatic feed production line are prepared, we will arrange shipment according to the delivery schedule confirmed with you.

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.
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.
Una volta completate l'installazione e la messa in servizio, forniamo una formazione in loco o da remoto che copre il funzionamento delle apparecchiature, la manutenzione e la gestione della produzione. Ciò garantisce ai nostri clienti di raggiungere rapidamente una produzione stabile.
Inoltre, offriamo un servizio post-vendita completo e assistenza per i ricambi. Anche dopo la scadenza del periodo di garanzia, i clienti possono sempre avvalersi della nostra assistenza tecnica, a garanzia di un funzionamento stabile e duraturo delle apparecchiature.
Client Evaluation and Project Operation Status
Recently, our after-sales department received feedback from the client:
“We really needed equipment that could handle both fish and shrimp feed, and RICHI delivered exactly what we wanted. The line is easy to switch between products and hits the production volume we planned. The technical support throughout the process was excellent and played a key role in getting the project up and running smoothly.”
