Raw Materials and Finished Feed
Common raw materials include fish meal, soybean meal, corn, wheat flour, rice bran, wheat bran, fish oil, soybean oil, premix, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, binders, and local protein ingredients.
For sinking fish and shrimp feed, particle size, formula binding, mixing uniformity, conditioning quality, pellet density, moisture control, and cooling performance directly affect sinking behavior, water stability, powder rate, and storage quality.

Recommended Process Flow
Raw Material Receiving -> Cleaning -> Fine Grinding -> Batching -> Mixing -> Conditioning -> Pelleting -> Cooling -> Screening -> Packing
Each process section is designed to support stable production and consistent feed quality.
Fine grinding improves particle distribution and pellet compactness. Accurate batching and uniform mixing help maintain formula consistency. Conditioning and pelleting determine pellet formation, density, and sinking performance. Cooling, screening, and packing improve final product quality and storage stability.
Ensure uniform distribution of nutrients and additives
Conditioning
Conditioner, steam system
Improve pellet formation and feed stability
Pelleting
Ring die pellet mill
Press mixed material into sinking aquatic pellets
Cooling
Counterflow cooler
Reduce pellet temperature and improve storage quality
Screening
Rotary screener
Separate powder and oversized particles
Packing
Weighing and packing machine
Complete quantitative packing
Control System
Control cabinet, PLC option
Manage operation, interlocks, alarms, and production data
Key Engineering Points
Fine Particle Size Control
Shrimp feed and small aquatic pellets require finer raw material grinding than many livestock feeds. Proper particle size improves pellet compactness, water stability, and feed utilization.
Stable Sinking Performance
HERM designs the process according to raw material density, formula structure, pellet diameter, conditioning condition, and ring die configuration to support stable sinking performance.
Uniform Mixing and Formula Accuracy
Accurate batching and uniform mixing are essential for aqua feed quality, especially when formulas contain premix, minerals, oils, binders, and functional additives.
Moisture and Powder Rate Control
Cooling, screening, and process control help reduce powder rate, control final moisture, and improve finished feed storage stability.
The line can be supplied with manual control, semi-automatic control, or PLC-based control.
For customers producing multiple formulas, HERM can configure automatic batching, formula management, production records, alarm functions, and data traceability to reduce manual error and improve production consistency.
HERM Engineering Service
HERM provides support from project planning to stable production, including:
Consulting -> Process Design -> Equipment Configuration -> Manufacturing -> Layout Planning -> Installation Guidance -> Commissioning -> Operator Training -> Spare Parts -> Long-Term Technical Support
Instead of supplying only individual machines, HERM helps customers build a complete feed production system adapted to raw materials, capacity, workshop conditions, local power supply, and future expansion requirements.

FAQ
Can this line produce both sinking fish feed and shrimp feed? Yes. The line can be configured for both sinking fish feed and shrimp feed. Pellet size, grinding fineness, formula structure, and conditioning requirements should be confirmed before final design.
Is extrusion required for this production line? Not always. Many sinking fish and shrimp feeds can be produced through fine grinding, mixing, conditioning, and ring die pelleting. Extrusion can be considered only when the target product or market requires a different process.
What pellet size can this line produce? Common pellet sizes are approximately 0.8-4.0 mm. The final range depends on formula, ring die specification, target species, and feeding stage.
Why is fine grinding important for shrimp feed? Fine grinding improves particle distribution, pellet compactness, water stability, and feed quality. It is especially important for shrimp feed and small-diameter aquatic pellets.
Can the system be upgraded later? Yes. HERM can reserve space and interfaces for future upgrades, such as additional raw material bins, higher automation, larger packing capacity, or capacity expansion.
What affects the price of a 1-1.5 T/H aqua feed line? Main factors include raw material type, pellet size, grinding fineness, automation level, workshop layout, electrical standard, packing method, and service scope.
What information is needed before quotation? Please provide feed type, target capacity, raw materials, pellet size, workshop size, local voltage, automation requirement, packing method, and project stage.
