Aquafeed plant equipment in Vietnam — shrimp and fish feed extrusion lines.
Vietnam's pangasius, tilapia and shrimp sectors run on extruded feed, and most process equipment is imported. FeedMatch is a supplier-neutral sourcing platform: we scope the line with you and put the specification in front of manufacturers who genuinely build at that capacity.

Why Vietnam is an equipment-import market
Domestic fabrication covers conveying, structures and simple mixing well, but extruders, dryers, vacuum coaters and process automation are overwhelmingly imported from Europe, China, Türkiye and Taiwan. That import decision — brand, capacity class, spare-part support — is where buyers lose or save the most money, and it is exactly what a supplier-neutral RFQ compares.
Shrimp feed vs fish feed lines
Shrimp feed demands finer grinding, tighter water stability and generally sinking pellets; fish feed for pangasius and tilapia usually needs floating pellets with higher expansion and post-extrusion oil coating. The front end is shared, so many Vietnamese plants specify one grinding/mixing section feeding two extrusion trains.
What a quotation needs from you
Target species and pellet sizes, tonnes per hour, floating or sinking, operating hours per day and days per year, raw-material list with expected moisture, available power supply, plot plan and building height, and whether bagging or bulk loadout is required. Without these, a quotation is a price list, not a proposal.
Ingredient supply alongside the plant
The mill is one decision; the monthly soybean meal, fish meal, wheat and additive volumes are the recurring one. FeedMatch runs both through the same RFQ so the ingredient programme is priced before commissioning, not after.

What equipment is needed for a floating fish feed line in Vietnam?
A floating aquafeed line needs fine grinding (pulveriser to 60–80 mesh), batch mixing with liquid addition, a preconditioner, a single- or twin-screw extruder, a multi-pass dryer, a vacuum coater for oil and attractants, a cooler, sieving and bagging. Sinking shrimp feed uses the same front end but replaces flotation extrusion with lower-moisture cooking and post-conditioning. Import duties, humidity and monsoon-season raw-material moisture are the local design drivers.
Indicative Vietnamese aquafeed line classes
| Metric | Value | Unit | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small shrimp/fish line | 1–3 | t/h | Single-screw extruder, single-pass dryer |
| Mid commercial line | 5–10 | t/h | Twin-screw extruder, multi-pass dryer, vacuum coater |
| Large integrated plant | 15–20+ | t/h | Multiple lines, automated dosing, bulk intake and silos |
| Fine grinding target | 60–80 | mesh | Typical shrimp feed water-stability requirement |
| Drying moisture out | 9–11 | % | Common storage-stability target in tropical humidity |
