Animal Feed Pellet Plant

• Choose a good place to build a factory;
• You need to purchase feed processing equipment to process and produce feed;
• You need to apply for a feed processing license. The state stipulates that you must have a feed processing license to produce feed,
• Purchase the testing equipment required to apply for a feed processing license to lay the foundation for applying for a feed processing license later,
• Choose a good raw material supplier. Processing feed requires processing raw materials into finished products.

Designing the layout of a feed mill requires consideration of multiple aspects, including land planning and site selection, equipment layout design, and compliance with relevant engineering design specifications. Here are some key steps and considerations:

Land planning and site selection:

• Save land and choose a location with two or more sides facing the road to facilitate vehicle access, reduce the need for vehicle turnarounds within the site, and facilitate traffic safety management within the plant.
• Consider adopting new processes, new technologies, new equipment, and adding automated control systems to improve production and management efficiency.
• Environmental issues must be fully considered, such as dust, odor, noise control, and safety measures such as fire prevention and lightning protection. The site should be far away from the living area of ​​​​people.
• Process design and equipment selection should cooperate with each other to reduce the waste of personnel and materials and prepare for lean production management in the later stage.
• Feed pellet plant construction projects should be proposed based on the long-term development plan of the industry or enterprise. The team should fully discuss the site selection, product line composition, production process and other contents before preparatory work. ‌
• In addition to geological environment, human environment, material resources, climate and other factors, the surrounding commercial competition situation and traffic convenience should also be considered. ‌
• The policy orientation should also be one of the factors considered by the preparatory team. ‌

2. Equipment layout design: ‌

• Determine the relative position and floor space of the raw material warehouse, production workshop, and finished product warehouse, and select the appropriate layout form (such as 7-shaped or straight-through shape) according to the flow of materials in the feed processing line. ‌
• The product structure, market share and development goals of the pellet plant determine the required processing technology and production scale, which in turn affects the floor space and height of the production workshop. ‌

3. Follow engineering design specifications: ‌

• The engineering design of the animal feed pellet plant should implement the national technical and economic policies, be advanced in technology, economically reasonable, safe and applicable, and ensure quality. ‌
• The site selection should follow the principle of combining industry and agriculture, and combining urban and rural areas, and try to be close to the raw material production area or areas where the breeding industry is relatively concentrated, and meet the requirements of fire prevention and environmental protection. ‌
• Avoid flammable, explosive, and factories that emit harmful gases and dust, and be located upwind of the highest frequency wind direction throughout the year, and maintain a quarantine distance from the farm. ‌
• Give priority to areas that are convenient for using existing roads, waterways, railways, and public water and electricity facilities. ‌
• Site with flat terrain, solid geology, and low groundwater level should be selected, and areas that may be flooded and cause landslides and landslides should be avoided. ‌

Through the above steps and considerations, the layout of the animal feed pellet plant can be effectively designed to ensure that production efficiency, safety, and environmental protection requirements are met.

It is necessary.

In fact, since building a laboratory requires investment, and the investment in the laboratory is continuous, and its return on investment is implicit, many small feed plants are reluctant to invest in building laboratories.

In order to cope with the inspection of the superior competent department, some small feed plants temporarily borrow a few instruments to decorate the facade, or simply forge a commissioned inspection agreement to deceive the inspection. The existence of this phenomenon seriously affects the quality of feed products, so it must be avoided.

In fact, it is not a big investment for a small animal feed pellet plant to build a small laboratory. The key is to clarify the tasks based on the actual situation, not to pursue large and comprehensive, but to meet the needs.

It has been common in recent years for traditional livestock and poultry animal feed pellet plants to be transformed into aquatic feed production plants.

This practice is more suitable for coastal areas and areas with more developed aquaculture industries. The purpose of transformation is achieved by adding fine grinding systems and strong maturation systems or extrusion systems.

RICHI has been continuously researching and developing various aquatic feed machinery and processes for many years, and has continuously introduced and absorbed internationally advanced aquatic feed production equipment and technologies.

It has developed unique processes and equipment in fine grinding, secondary mixing, maturation granulation, expansion, post-maturation, drying, oil spraying, crushing and screening.

We can propose the best economic and effective transformation plan based on the process and equipment of the original feed mill and the local aquaculture situation, providing reliable guarantees for the development of animal feed pellet plants in terms of processing equipment and process technology.

Premix is ​​the front-end process of feed production. It is a high-tech and high-value product in the feed industry. Although it only accounts for a small proportion in feed, it plays a key role.

The equipment and processes required for premix production are relatively few and simple, but the equipment manufacturing precision and process requirements are high. For the transformation of general feed factories into premix factories, the following problems are mainly solved:

1. First, the mixing uniformity of the mixer should be high, there should be no mixing dead corners, and there should be no residue when discharging;
2. Second, the batching accuracy should be accurate. In the production of premixes, medicines and trace elements only account for a small amount, but they play an important role in feed. Therefore, the batching must be accurate, otherwise it will seriously affect the product quality;
3. Third, cross contamination should be prevented. Whether the material is in the lifting or conveying equipment, low residue and automatic cleaning are required to avoid cross contamination;
4. Fourth, finally, a good and clean working environment is required in the production of premixes. Dust is easily generated during the production process of premixes, and dust has a great impact on the health of operators. Therefore, good dust removal facilities must be configured.

RICHI has proprietary processes and technologies for premix production and high-precision, easy-to-clean premix processing equipment to meet the needs of transformation factories. (Find RICHI on Youtube)
