Can A Fish Feed Extruder Machine Improve The Profitability Of Floating Fish Feed Pellet Production?
Leave a message
Short-term perspective (1 year): Manual fish feed processing has low initial investment but high overall costs. Initial investment for manual production is 5,000 yuan, with an annual feed demand of 30 tons, requiring 3 full-time workers, resulting in an annual labor cost of 162,000 yuan. Feed utilization is 75%, requiring 40 tons of raw materials, with a raw material cost of 160,000 yuan, for a total cost of 327,000 yuan.
Pellet mill production requires an initial equipment investment of 60,000 yuan (hourly capacity 200 kg), with an annual labor cost of 36,000 yuan. Feed utilization is 90%, requiring 33.3 tons of raw materials, with a raw material cost of 133,000 yuan, for a total cost of 229,000 yuan. In the short term, the total cost of floating fish extruder machine production is 98,000 yuan lower than manual production, demonstrating a cost advantage. However, if feed demand is less than 10 tons, the short-term cost of manual production may be even lower.
Long-term perspective (5 years): The cost advantage of aquarium floating fish feed extruder production grows exponentially. The total cost of manual production over 5 years was 1.635 million yuan (labor costs increased by 5% annually), and unstable feed quality resulted in an average annual survival rate of 85% for bass, with an average annual yield of 100 kg/mu. The total cost of fish feed pellet extruder production over 5 years was 985,000 yuan (equipment depreciation over 5 years, averaging 12,000 yuan per year; labor costs increased by 5% annually), and stable feed quality resulted in an average annual survival rate of 95% for bass, with an average annual yield of 120 kg/mu. Furthermore, the feed produced by the fish feed pellet making machine can be formulated according to market demand; for example, when bass prices are high, high-protein ingredients can be added to increase growth rate and seize market opportunities. The pellet mill equipment can still be resold after 5 years, with a residual value of approximately 10,000 yuan. In summary, pellet mill production yielded more profit than manual production over 5 years: increased revenue from increased output (120-100)×100×5×20=200,000 yuan (average bass price 20 yuan/kg), cost savings of 1.635-985=650,000 yuan, and a residual value of 10,000 yuan for the equipment, totaling 860,000 yuan.
Long-term vs. Short-term Selection Recommendations: For short-term (1-2 years) operations with extremely low feed requirements (<10 tons/year), manual production can be temporarily chosen. However, for long-term farming plans (3 years or more), fish food making machines are a more cost-effective option regardless of feed requirements. It is recommended to configure equipment according to long-term farming plans to avoid missing out on long-term benefits due to concerns about short-term investment.
