The floating fish feed machine can also be called the fish pellet mill. It produces high-quality feed pellets from a variety of materials. The machine is usually installed as part of a fish-feed plant’s components. The machine is often paired with feed crushers and other machines.
How much does a fish feed machine cost in Bangladesh? In the next section, we will answer this question. We will also share important information regarding fish feed machines.
Prices of fish feed machines in Bangladesh
Fish feed machines are an important piece of equipment for the aqua feed industry. There are many types and sizes of fish feed machines on the market. We spent some time looking at the prices and features of each machine. A fish feed extruder machine costs between $1,680 and $9,650.
What can we offer?
We offer high-quality floating fish food machine (30 to 2000kg/h) as well as custom project plan (production output of up to 5 tons/hour).
Feed Pellet Size: 0.9-15mm
For those who want to produce high-quality fish food pellets, the dry type fish feed extruder can be a great tool. The dry type fish food extruder is sometimes called the fish pellet mill. It’s widely used to make aquatic food for fishes, shrimp, crabs and other aquatic species.
- The equipment has been designed with advanced engineering to make it easy to use and provide a reliable performance.
- It is a high-quality product that has been meticulously manufactured, which makes it low in energy consumption.
- Alloy steel is used to make the screw sleeves of the feed extruder machine. This ensures long-lasting service.
- You can choose from many types of extruding moulds to make different sizes of feed pellets.

These are the main feathers of our expanded feed extruder. If you require more information or the latest price, please send us an inquiry. A quick response can be provided within one business day.
- With an auto-feeding system.
- You can control the floating time by changing the puffing degree.
- To increase production efficiency, it is equipped with an electric heating device. The feed is safer and easier to digest by using high temperature cooking.
- It features an auto-temperature control system that makes it easy to set the temperature and makes it more precise.
How do you start a fish feed production plant?
Fish feed pellets are in high demand. To meet this demand, a fish feed extruder machine and a feed extrusion production plant were developed. The equipment and the complete plant have many specifications that are crucial in producing floating and sinking fish feeds, as well as pet feed. Our fish feed machines produce a variety of flavors, textures, and essential super nutrients. This differentiation is necessary to accommodate the varied eating habits of fish.
The production line for fish feed generally includes crushing, mixing and extruding, drying, packaging, and drying. Fish feed processing involves many machines, including grinder, mixer (extruder), dryer and packaging machine.
Tips to Choose a Fish Feed Making Machine
There are many fish feed machines available, as we said earlier. If you don’t have a guide, choosing the right one can be difficult. We have compiled a guide to help you make your decision. When choosing a fish feeder machine, there are many factors you should consider. Here are some:
Installation is easy
You should ensure that the machine is simple to install before you buy it. Do not buy a machine that requires extensive knowledge to install. It is easier to install and the more money it saves you on installation.
Production capacity
The machine’s production capacity is another important factor. What is the machine’s production capacity? Compare this figure to determine if the investment in the machine is worthwhile.
Cost
What is your budget for purchasing a fish-feed machine? This will affect the type of machine that you buy. You have many options, including a smaller machine or a second-hand one.
Chains of value for fish feed in Bangladesh
In Bangladesh aquaculture, fish feed production has increased significantly in the last five years. There have been an estimated 1,000,000 tonnes of pelleted commercially-formulated feed and between 0.3 million and 0.4million tonnes of feeds manufactured by small and micro-enterprises at the village level. The increased production of major fish species like Nile tilapia, Oreochromis hypophthalmus, Pangas (Pangasianodon hyperphthalmus), climbing perch and other major carps has been a result of feeding fish with formulated diets.
While value chains have evolved in tandem with the rise of the formulated food industry, they now connect feed suppliers and farmers. However, remote farmers are still not able to access formulated feed. Figure 1 illustrates the key actors and links in the value chain for fish feed ingredients, from farmers to suppliers. Bangladesh produces between 50-55% of the ingredients for fish feed, while the rest are imported. These products are imported from either producers or importers and then flow through feed processors to farmers via various channels. Certain raw materials, such as rice bran, must be processed in mills before being incorporated into aquaculture feeds.
Many traders and suppliers deliver ingredients to feed formulators. However, large and medium-sized feed mills import directly about 10-15% of all raw materials. Feed additives can be imported and traded via various channels. Feed mills import the machines used in feed processing with the assistance of marketing agents from manufacturers. Feed dealers who distribute between 96 and 98% of feed from feedmills to farmers usually earn a commission of 6 to 7% on the purchase price. Dealers distribute between 5-10% of total feed to rural areas or small farmers through other traders.
The Department of Fisheries (DoF), Bangladesh Fisheries Research Institute(BFRI), packaging industries and private and government labs are major service providers.
