What Factors to Consider When Buying a fish feed production equipment?

Procurement Cost Control: Matching Budget with Needs. Single-screw floating fish feed extruders have lower procurement costs, with small-to-medium capacity models (50-500 kg/h) priced between 50,000 and 200,000 RMB, suitable for small and medium-sized users with limited budgets. Twin-screw fish feed extruders have higher procurement costs, with models of the same capacity costing 2-3 times more (200,000-500,000 RMB), suitable for users with ample budgets producing complex feeds. Avoid "buying beyond your needs." For example, a small fish farm producing conventional fish feed with a budget of 100,000 RMB can choose a single-screw extruder with an hourly output of 150 kg, without needing to spend 300,000 RMB on a twin-screw model.

Operating Energy Costs: Key to Long-Term Cost Reduction. Single-screw fish feed processing machines have lower operating energy consumption, costing only 150-200 RMB per ton of feed produced, which is solely for the drive motor. Twin-screw wet extruders have higher energy consumption, costing 300-400 RMB per ton of feed produced, including the motor, steam boiler, and dryer. When selecting a compressor, long-term energy costs should be calculated based on production scale: For small users with a daily output of 1 ton, a single-screw compressor can save 50,000-80,000 yuan in energy costs annually; for large users with a daily output of 10 tons, if producing complex feed, a twin-screw compressor is necessary, and energy consumption can be reduced through parameter optimization.
Return on Investment (ROI) Calculation: Define the profit cycle. ROI = Total equipment investment ÷ Annual savings/increased profit. The calculation should consider factors such as feed selling price, raw material costs, and production efficiency: For producing high-end feed (high selling price, high profit), high-configuration equipment can be selected to shorten the payback period; for producing conventional feed (low profit), equipment investment needs to be controlled to ensure a rapid return on investment. In addition, 10%-20% of working capital should be reserved to avoid equipment investment tying up all funds and affecting daily production.
