Client Background & Challenges of building Floating Fish Feed Plant in Russia

The client is a Russian company specializing in the production of high-quality floating fish feed, with particle diameters ranging from 1.5mm to 6mm. As the aquaculture industry continues to grow, the company identified the need to upgrade its manufacturing capabilities in order to enhance production efficiency and stay competitive in the market.

By focusing on consistent quality and reliable output, the client primarily supplies its fish feed products to local and neighboring markets. This regional distribution strategy helps the company meet increasing client demand while strengthening its presence in the surrounding areas.

However, the client also encountered a number of challenges during the project planning process:

First, the existing plant space was too limit to accommodate a full-scale fish feed production line. This space limitation posed serious obstacles to the layout and future operation of the manufacturing process.

Secondly, the customer has very high requirements for the quality and the equipment performance. They conducted a comprehensive comparison of several suppliers from Europe and China. They focused on equipment durability, productivity, energy consumption levels and after-sales service. It was a big challenge for us.

Tailored Solution & Equipment Layout for 5-6 T/H Floating Fish Feed Plant in Russia

After fully understanding the client’s needs, RICHI developed a customized solution that comprehensively addressed all the challenges faced by the client.

Firstly, to address the lack of space in the existing plant, we suggested converting the existing plant into a raw material and finished product warehouse. At the same time, a new 5-6 T/H fully automated fish feed production line was built on the nearby area in order to ensure the smooth running of the subsequent production.

Secondly, in terms of equipment selection, RICHI provided a complete set of solutions that met European quality standards and stayed within the client’s budget.

The entire line is fully automated. It covers the complete production process of raw material reception, primary and ultra-micro crushing, primary and secondary mixing, bulking, drying, granulation, vacuum spraying, cooling and packaging.

The concrete 5-6 T/H floating fish feed plant in Russia process are as follow:

1. raw material handling system:

Whether the material is bulked or bagged, first they all enter the storage room together. Then, A primary sieve and a magnet separator can remove the impurities such as stones and metals. After that, the granular material is fed into the crushing area. Whereas the powder material goes directly into the batching warehouse.

2. Primary crushing & first batching system:

The primary pulverizing system is using to pulverize the raw material. Then, the crushed material is accurately distributed to the batching bins based on a predefined feed formula.

3. Fine-grinding & Second Batching System:

In response to the need for finer particles in some formulations, the production process includes a special step of fine grinding stage. Subsequently, a high-precision screening system is using to screen the material.

Following this, the second formulation system is under computer control. At there, the fine powders are accurately proportioned with micro-ingredients, fats and oils, and other additives in order to produce the ideal feed formulation.

4. Extrusion, Drying, Crushing & Spraying:

First, the material enters the fully automatic extruding system mainly using the floating fish feed extruder machine to enhance expansion under saturated steam tempering conditions. Then, expanded feed enters the circulating belt dryer to reduce the feed moisture to less than 10%.

After drying, the feed passes through a vacuum spraying system, where oil and attractants are evenly applied in order to enhance palatability and nutritional value.

5. Cooling, Screening & Packing:

Once after spraying, the hot pellets are cooled down to room temperature to prevent moisture condensation during storage. Then, they are screened to remove fines and broken particles. Thus to ensure the uniform product quality. Finally, the finished pellets are automatically weighed, bagged, and sealed by the packaging system.

Customer Feedback & Future Plan of Floating Fish Feed Plant in Russia

After the successful commissioning of the line, the client highly appreciated the performance of the 5-6 T/H floating fish feed plant in Russia.

In the feedback, the client says:

“Choosing RICHI was the right decision, your expertise and technical support exceeded our expectations.”

After the successful completion of the project, the client placed two additional orders for subsequent installations. RICHI is looking forward to working with this client again as they plan to expand their production capacity in the near future to further strengthen their market position.
