Key Technical Parameters and Advantages of Salmon Feed
Salmon is a cold-water, high-metabolism, carnivorous fish species with stringent requirements for the nutritional density, water stability, and fish feed pellet size of the fish feeding pellets. The table below illustrates the significant differences in pellet density, protein level, and fat coating methods among different aquaculture species:

Investing in Salmon Feed Machinery and Production Lines: What to Consider?
The complete fish feed making process for salmon includes: crushing → mixing → conditioning → extrusion → drying → cooling → coating → screening → metering and packaging. The following are critical points to evaluate before investing in fish feed pelleting machine:
Define Production Capacity and Pellet Type
-
Starter feed pellets usually have a diameter ≤1.5mm with fat content below 12%, while grower pellets are typically 4–6mm in size with fat content over 18%.
-
ABC Machinery customizes multi-specification feed mill production process from 1–10mm for different farmed salmon species (e.g., Atlantic salmon, coho salmon), supporting quick switching between micro-pellets and high-fat grower feed. Advanced
Fish Feed Manufacturing Process Adaptation
-
Key technical configurations include floating-sinking control (pellet density ±0.02g/cm³), vacuum oil spraying system (fat addition accuracy ±1.5%), and twin-screw extrusion technology (stability increased by over 10%).
-
ABC Machinery’s fish feed machine comes standard with vacuum oil and post-spray flavor systems, compatible with high nutrition formulas containing 45% protein and 18% fat, achieving salmon palatability test results above industry averages.

Raw Material Compatibility and Equipment Corrosion Resistance
-
Common raw material challenges: salmon feed formulas often contain over 20% fish oil and marine protein powder, which easily corrode parts of fish feed processing machine, and increase cleaning difficulty for the fish feed processing line conveying system.
-
ABC Machinery uses 316L stainless steel contact surfaces with special coated alloy bodies, fully oil- and rust-proof, with core components lifespan exceeding 8,000 hours.
Salmon Feed Pellet Quality and Stability
-
High-quality salmon feed pellet standards include stable density, water disintegration time ≥30 minutes, uniform pellet shape, and non-greasy surface, which are essential for ensuring salmon digestion efficiency.
-
ABC Machinery’s multi-stage conditioning, precise drying and cooling, and dynamic screening system achieve a 98% pellet formation rate with consistent batch quality; actual tests show water stability exceeding 40 minutes.
Energy Saving, Environmental Compliance, and Regulation Adaptation
-
Environmental highlights: some salmon feed pellet production equipment projects must meet energy efficiency ratings, noise limits (≤85dB), and dust emission controls.
-
ABC Machinery’s equipment is CE/ISO certified, equipped with pulse dust collectors and noise-reducing housings, helping farmed salmon feed mill company reduce energy consumption by 15%-20% while complying with global environmental standards.
Expandability and Production Line Upgrade Capability
-
Project flexibility requirements: support for later additions such as twin-screw expansion lines, premix coating systems, and automatic palletizing modules.
-
ABC Machinery adopts a modular main line and pluggable auxiliary processes design, shortening average installation cycles to 45 days, and supports quick mold changes to meet multi-product combined production demands.
