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 \u2014 which means you get factory-quality at factory pricing with genuine after-sales support.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The Sigmatech Fish Feed Making Machine is an ideal fit for:<\/p>\n
Different fish species at different growth stages need different pellet sizes. Fingerlings need 2\u20132.5 mm pellets; juveniles typically need 3\u20134 mm; adult fish thrive on 4\u20136 mm. The adjustable die system on this machine lets you switch sizes as your fish grow \u2014 one machine covers your entire production cycle.<\/p>\n
A 5HP motor delivers substantially more throughput than smaller 3HP machines. Running 8 hours a day, you produce 480 to 720 kg of feed \u2014 more than enough to supply a medium fish farm or to sell to neighbouring farmers at a profit.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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 \u2014 simply by changing the die to match the required pellet size. This versatility makes it suitable for mixed aquaculture operations.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
A balanced fish feed typically combines protein sources, energy sources, binders, and micronutrients. Here’s a general formulation reference:<\/p>\n
