A fish meal cooker is a critical piece of equipment in the fish meal production process. Its primary function is to process fish raw materials into high-quality fish meal products through cooking. This process not only affects the quality of the fish meal but also the efficiency of the entire production line. Therefore, choosing the right fish meal cooker is crucial.

1. Production Capacity

When selecting a fish meal cooker, the first thing to consider is its production capacity. Different production scales require different specifications of cookers. Small factories may only need to process a few tons of raw materials per day, while large factories may need to process hundreds of tons per day. Therefore, the processing capacity of the cooker must match the production needs of the factory.

2. Cooking Efficiency

Cooking efficiency directly affects the quality of the fish meal and production efficiency. A high-efficiency cooker can complete the cooking process in a shorter time, ensuring that the nutritional components of the fish meal are not destroyed, while also improving production efficiency. Choosing equipment with high cooking efficiency can significantly reduce production costs.

3. Energy Consumption

Energy consumption is an important factor to consider when choosing a fish meal cooker. Energy-efficient cookers can not only reduce production costs but also minimize environmental impact. When selecting, priority should be given to equipment with good energy-saving performance.

4. Maintenance and Upkeep

The maintenance and upkeep of the cooker directly relate to its service life and production stability. Choosing a cooker that is easy to maintain and has readily available replacement parts can reduce downtime and improve the continuity of the production line. Additionally, good after-sales service is an important factor to consider when selecting equipment.


Choosing the right fish meal cooker is crucial for fish meal production enterprises. During the selection process, factors such as production capacity, cooking efficiency, energy consumption, and maintenance should be comprehensively considered.

Based on years of R&D and production experience of fishmeal machine production lines, FEEDSMACHINERY has launched the Fishmeal Process (FMP), a wet-process fishmeal production process, suitable for the production of fishmeal with raw material capacity up to 15 tons/hour and above. The produced fishmeal has better quality, high digestibility, low energy consumption and simple operation. If a complete fishmeal and fish oil production and processing system is adopted, the production capacity can be increased by 5% (the digestibility is increased by 3%), and the whole process can be achieved without pollution.
