Fish Feed Making Machine – 5HP Semi-Automatic Pellet Maker

Technical Data

Sigmatech Engineering is a direct manufacturer of animal and aquaculture feed processing machinery, based in Kathwada GIDC, Odhav, Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Unlike traders who source from third parties, every machine we sell is built and tested in our own facility — which means you get factory-quality at factory pricing with genuine after-sales support.

India’s aquaculture sector is one of the fastest-growing food industries in the country. States like Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Odisha, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, and Assam have seen a significant rise in fish farming activity over the past decade. Farmers who produce their own feed enjoy a measurable cost advantage and tighter control over the nutritional profile of their fish diet. Our fish feed pellet machine is engineered to deliver both.

Who Is This Machine Right For?

The Sigmatech Fish Feed Making Machine is an ideal fit for:

• Fish farmers with ponds or tanks who want to cut their monthly feed expenditure significantly
• Aquaculture entrepreneurs looking to start a fish feed production or supply business
• Hatchery operators who need precise pellet sizes for different fish growth stages
• State fisheries departments or cooperative societies supplying feed to local farmers
• Agri-business graduates or rural entrepreneurs exploring profitable aquaculture support ventures
• Prawn and shrimp farmers needing small 2–3 mm pellets for juvenile feeding

6 Reasons This Fish Feed Machine Stands Out

Precise Pellet Sizes for Every Fish Stage – 2 mm to 6 mm

Different fish species at different growth stages need different pellet sizes. Fingerlings need 2–2.5 mm pellets; juveniles typically need 3–4 mm; adult fish thrive on 4–6 mm. The adjustable die system on this machine lets you switch sizes as your fish grow — one machine covers your entire production cycle.

High Output – 60 to 90 kg Per Hour

A 5HP motor delivers substantially more throughput than smaller 3HP machines. Running 8 hours a day, you produce 480 to 720 kg of feed — more than enough to supply a medium fish farm or to sell to neighbouring farmers at a profit.

Cast Iron + Mild Steel Build for Daily Farm Use

The pelletizing chamber and die assembly use cast iron components, which offer far greater wear resistance than mild steel alone. The structural frame is mild steel for durability without excessive weight. This combination is specifically chosen for machines that run daily, not occasionally.

Semi-Automatic Operation – Minimal Training Required

One operator can run this machine comfortably without specialised technical training. Load the premixed raw material, set the die size, and the machine handles consistent pellet formation. It is designed for farm environments, not factory floors.

Versatile – Works for Multiple Aquatic Species

The same machine can be used to produce feed for freshwater fish (rohu, catla, tilapia, catfish, carp), brackish water species, and even prawns and shrimp — simply by changing the die to match the required pellet size. This versatility makes it suitable for mixed aquaculture operations.

Direct Manufacturer Pricing – No Dealer Markup

Sigmatech Engineering is the manufacturer, not a reseller. You pay factory price, receive a GST invoice, and get direct access to our technical team for any after-sales support. There is no agent, no commission layer, and no inflated retail pricing.

Recommended Raw Materials for Fish Feed Pellets

A balanced fish feed typically combines protein sources, energy sources, binders, and micronutrients. Here’s a general formulation reference:

Ingredient Type	Common Options	Typical Inclusion (%)
Protein Source	Fish meal, soybean meal, groundnut cake, mustard cake	35 – 50%
Energy Source	Maize, wheat, broken rice, tapioca	25 – 35%
Binder	Wheat flour, maida, starch	5 – 10%
Lipid Source	Fish oil, rice bran oil, soybean oil	3 – 7%
Mineral Premix	Dicalcium phosphate, salt, trace minerals	1 – 3%
Vitamin Premix	Commercial aquaculture vitamin supplement	0.5 – 1%

Note: Formulations vary by fish species, growth stage, water temperature, and farming system. Consult an aquaculture nutritionist for species-specific feed recipes.

Pellet Size Guide by Fish Species and Growth Stage

Fish Species	Growth Stage	Recommended Pellet Size
Rohu / Catla / Carp	Fingerling	2 – 2.5 mm
Rohu / Catla / Carp	Juvenile	3 – 4 mm
Rohu / Catla / Carp	Adult / Market size	4 – 6 mm
Tilapia	All stages	2 – 5 mm
Catfish / Magur	All stages	3 – 5 mm
Prawns / Shrimp	Post-larvae	2 – 2.5 mm
Prawns / Shrimp	Juvenile – Adult	3 – 4 mm
Trout / Salmon	All stages	2 – 4 mm

Fish Feed Business Opportunity – Numbers That Make Sense

Many buyers purchase this machine not just for their own farm, but to supply feed to fish farmers in their area. Here’s a realistic income estimate:

Daily Production (8 hrs)	~560 – 720 kg
Monthly Production (25 days)	~14,000 – 18,000 kg
Raw Material Cost (approx.)	₹22 – 28 per kg
Local Market Selling Price	₹32 – 38 per kg
Estimated Monthly Net Profit	₹70,000 – ₹1,80,000
Machine Cost Recovery	Typically within 4 – 7 months

Note: Estimates are indicative and based on general market conditions. Actual figures depend on local raw material costs, fish species, selling rate, and operational efficiency.
