Twin-Screw Extruder Revolutionizes Shrimp Feed Production: Efficient, Low-Cost, Green Solution

20-06-2025

Technological breakthrough: Twin-screw extruder reshapes shrimp feed production process

Efficient mixing and precise temperature control: The twin-screw design enables the raw materials (such as fish meal, soybean meal, vitamins, etc.) to be fully sheared and mixed during the transportation process. With the intelligent temperature control system, it ensures the uniform distribution of nutrients and the stability of maturity, thereby improving the digestibility and absorption rate of feed.

Low energy consumption and high production capacity: The coordinated operation of the twin screws significantly reduces the unit energy consumption. According to measured data, the energy consumption is reduced by about 20% compared with traditional equipment at the same production capacity, and the daily output can reach 10-15 tons, meeting the needs of large-scale farming.

Diversified product forms: By adjusting the screw combination and process parameters, floating, sinking, and slow-sinking shrimp feeds can be flexibly produced to adapt to different farming scenarios (such as freshwater shrimp and seawater shrimp), and support the addition of functional ingredients such as probiotics and enzyme preparations.

Industry value: promoting green breeding and reducing costs and increasing efficiency

The shrimp farming industry has strict requirements on feed quality. The water resistance and particle uniformity of the feed directly affect the water quality and shrimp growth efficiency. The application of twin-screw technology not only reduces the feed breakage rate and water pollution risks, but also helps farmers reduce overall costs by improving feed conversion rate (test data shows that it can be increased by 15%-20%).
The technical director of a large aquatic group said: "After adopting the twin-screw production line, the stability of the feed has been significantly improved, the shrimp growth cycle has been shortened, the disease rate has been reduced, and customer satisfaction has been greatly improved. This technology is changing the rules of the game in the industry."

Driven by both policies and markets, the future prospects are bright

At present, the global shrimp consumption demand has an average annual growth rate of over 5%, and major production areas such as China and Southeast Asia continue to expand production capacity. At the same time, environmental protection policies in various countries have become stricter, forcing feed production to transform to green processes. Twin-screw equipment has become the preferred solution for enterprise upgrades due to its clean production characteristics (reducing dust emissions and reducing wastewater COD values).
According to industry forecasts, in the next three years, the penetration rate of twin-screw technology in shrimp feed production is expected to increase from the current 30% to more than 50%, driving the market size of related equipment to exceed 2 billion yuan.
