Shrimp Feed Pellet Mill for Sinking Shrimp Feed
This shrimp feed pellet mill is used for producing sinking feed pellets for shrimp and prawn aquaculture. It configures with small-diameter dies for shrimp and prawn feed, including feed formulations used for whiteleg shrimp, black tiger shrimp and freshwater prawn. The ring die pelletizing system compresses conditioned feed material into dense pellets, while pellet diameter, formulation, moisture and conditioning conditions affect the final pellet quality and water stability. The same ring die pelletizing principle can also be applied to sinking fish feed production.
Conditioning and Water Stability for Shrimp Feed Pellets
Sinking shrimp feed needs sufficient pellet integrity and water stability during feeding. These characteristics are affected by several factors, including raw material formulation, grinding fineness, moisture content, conditioning and pelletizing conditions. For more details about the processing stages, see our
sinking fish feed production process.
Fine grinding helps improve particle uniformity, while proper conditioning promotes more consistent moisture and starch processing before pelletizing. The ring die then compresses the conditioned material into small-diameter sinking pellets.
The conditioner provides controlled mixing, moisture addition and residence time before pelletizing. Depending on the configuration, contact components can be made from 304 stainless steel, while heating or insulation systems can help maintain suitable processing conditions.
Core Technical Features of Shrimp Feed Pellet Mill
- Small-Diameter Ring Die: The machine can be configured with dies for small shrimp feed pellets. Ring die diameter and pellet size are selected according to the required production capacity, formulation and target feed specification.
- Corrosion-Resistant Components: Selected contact parts, such as the conditioner and feeding components, can use 304 stainless steel where corrosion resistance is required for aquafeed production.
- Gear Transmission: The main drive uses a heavy-duty gear transmission designed for continuous pelletizing operation. Compared with belt transmission, a gear drive provides direct power transmission and helps maintain stable operation under load.
- Uniform Feeding: The feeding system is designed to provide a continuous and consistent material flow into the pelletizing chamber. The feeder configuration can also be adapted for materials with different flow characteristics.
- Die and Pellet Cutting: The die and cutting system can be configured for small shrimp feed pellets, with the selected die and cutter matched to the target pellet diameter.

Shrimp Feed Pellet Size and Production Capacity
Shrimp feed is commonly produced in small pellet diameters to match feeding requirements. For shrimp feed, the recommended pellet size is 1.5–2.5 mm. Other pellet sizes can be produced by selecting the appropriate ring die and cutter configuration. Actual pellet size is determined by the selected ring die and cutter configuration.
Actual production capacity depends on pellet diameter, feed formulation, raw material characteristics, moisture content and machine configuration.
Which Shrimp Feed Pellet Mill Should You Choose?
The suitable model depends mainly on the required production capacity. As a general reference, HMK-300 is suitable for 1000–2000 kg/h, while larger models are available for higher-capacity production.
For example, a 2–3 t/h production requirement corresponds to the HMK-320 range, while 5–8 t/h production is covered by the HMK-420 range. Final model selection should also consider pellet diameter, feed formulation and operating conditions.
