Animal Feed Plant in Thailand

RICHI MACHINERY

A Grain Business with a Regional Feed Customer Base

The customer’s agricultural trading background provides a useful receiving network. Its riverside grain-handling resources can support bulk corn deliveries, while protein meals, minerals, packaging and other ingredients arrive through their own documented supply routes.

The animal feed processing plant adds manufacturing duties to that network. Ingredient acceptance, formula control, product form and release testing give the business a defined compound-feed offer for its livestock and poultry customers.

The animal feed plant in Thailand uses two trains for independently scheduled recipes and product handling. The selected programme includes swine pellets, poultry pellets or crumbs, and a mash route where the customer’s formula requires it. Each product has its own processing and cleanout requirements.

The customer’s nutrition programme establishes the actual recipes. RICHI supplies the weighing, mixing and processing duties needed to make those formulas under recorded conditions. The machinery scope does not prescribe one universal diet across species or life stages.

For a comparable livestock and poultry feed mill, the useful enquiry information includes recipes, ingredient forms, product dimensions, yearly quantities and the intended packing. Those details establish whether one shared route or independent product trains suit the buyer’s daily programme.

Grain Intake and Production Buildings Have Different Capacities

The animal feed plant in Thailand uses a 5,165 m² leased site allocation. Listed covered buildings total 2,592 m², leaving 2,573 m² for external access and the working areas within the site plan.

Covered working area	Allocation	Main duty
Main production building	1,200 m²	Two preparation and feed-processing trains
Ingredient warehouses	500 m²	Separate grains, meals, bran, minerals and other accepted stock
Premix area	200 m²	Checked small-ingredient preparation
Office and laboratory	400 m²	Product records, testing and commercial support
Steam-source area	100 m²	Boiler and its service interfaces
Finished stock and support	192 m²	Released-product buffering and supporting work

The animal feed pellet plant keeps incoming ingredient movement separate from the cooled product and packing route. Bins, conveyors and buffers have identified duties, with access for inspection and cleaning between products.

The client’s grain receiving includes a 100-tonne berth basis, a 5-tonne crane and a 43-metre quay. Its 40,000-tonne annual handling basis belongs to that receiving resource. It is separate from the feed mill’s 15,000-tonne product programme.

The selected feed programme uses around 8,700 tonnes of corn annually. Dock unloading, sampling and onward movement are checked against the actual cargo and handling arrangements. The crane’s usable lifted load includes the selected attachment, with operating limits reviewed by the local handling team.

RICHI’s feed-equipment package uses those reusable intake resources as site interfaces. The machinery quotation identifies its own preparation, processing, finishing and control duties, with customer-owned dock and transport assets kept outside that purchase scope.

Weigh Ingredients for the Actual Product Mix

Ingredient group	Annual purchasing allowance	Main acceptance checks
Corn	Around 8,700 tonnes	Moisture, contamination, grain condition and relevant mycotoxins
Soybean meal	Around 3,800 tonnes	Declared protein grade, moisture and quality
Rice bran	Around 700 tonnes	Stabilisation, storage condition and relevant quality checks
Soybean oil	Around 350 tonnes	Feed grade, identity and oxidation condition
Prepared soybean ingredient	Around 200 tonnes	Documented treatment and composition
Accepted biscuit meal	Around 300 tonnes	Feed grade, composition and removal of packaging contamination
Wheat middlings	Around 450 tonnes	Particle, moisture and ingredient quality
Minerals, premixes and approved additions	Around 650 tonnes	Species-specific recipe, documentation and checked dose

The animal feed plant in Thailand has a combined ingredient allowance around 15,150 tonnes. Under the selected incoming condition, finished moisture reference near 12–13% and a modest handling-loss allowance, it supports the 15,000-tonne annual product basis. These are programme quantities, not one formula to mix for every animal.

The feed preparation plant records each ingredient lot before weighing. Layer-feed recipes need their specified calcium and mineral sources, while swine and broiler formulas have their own requirements. The production schedule and purchasing plan follow that product mix.

Grain and meal checks occur before processing. A rejected ingredient is held outside approved stock. Rice bran, oil and variable by-product meals also have storage and shelf-life conditions suited to their actual grades.

Thai grain-handling conditions make protected stocks and usable moisture records important parts of the receiving programme. Bulk deliveries are sampled under the agreed method, while bagged ingredients retain their supplier and lot information.

The premix area prepares checked small additions with the selected carrier. Major minerals follow their recipe-specific dosing route. Scale checks and ingredient identity are reviewed together so a correctly weighed quantity also belongs to the intended formula.

The animal feed plant in Thailand assigns each Animal Feed Pellet Mill to a defined product train. The selected 3 T/H duty stays within the SZLH320’s appropriate grain-based feed range, with actual recipes and diameters checked during operating trials.

The Feed mill pellet machine receives prepared mash through its conditioner. Main-ingredient weights, small additions and oil dose are recorded before that stage. A mash product uses the approved bypass to its product buffer and packing route.

The shared bagger draws from identified finished bins under the changeover procedure. Its selected minimum rate provides capacity above the combined six-tonne flow, with bin and line clearance checked before a different product is packed.

Animal Feed Plant in Thailand: Grain Receiving to Finished Feed

Receive and sample the ingredients

Corn intake follows the site’s receiving and sampling programme. Truck-delivered meals, minerals and packaging are checked against their documents and lot identities. Feed-grade oil has its own transfer and stock arrangement.

Released ingredients enter identified stock. Material waiting for additional tests remains separate, and the production order uses only the lots approved for its recipe. Weighing records distinguish accepted material from gross delivery quantities.

Grind to the recipe’s particle requirement

Each grinder prepares the fraction needing size reduction. The selected range is commonly around 0.8–1.2 mm for finer poultry duties and around 1–2 mm for the relevant adult poultry or swine programme, with actual specifications supplied by the customer’s nutrition and production team.

Samples check the distribution rather than treating screen aperture as the size of every particle. Prepared fine ingredients take the appropriate bypass, keeping grinding assigned to the material that needs it.

Batch major, small and liquid ingredients

Major ingredients use the checked batch weighing system. Small additions are prepared through the premix procedure, while oil is metered for the actual recipe. The record follows the batch from ingredient selection to mixing and product release.

Mix the complete weighed recipe

At the animal feed plant in Thailand, each 500 kg mixer operates on an eight-minute full-cycle basis. The 3,750 kg/hour cycle capacity is above its selected three-tonne product duty, providing time for the normal sequence of loading, mixing and discharge.

Mixing checks include distribution, the selected oil addition and the cleanout needed between products. Approved mash can move to its finished buffer, while pellet recipes enter their own controlled forming feed.

Condition and pellet the selected feed

Steam prepares the mash for forming under the recipe’s temperature and moisture procedure. A 75–85°C working conditioning range is assessed for the selected grower recipes, with exposure time and ingredient behaviour included in the operating checks.

The two mills each serve a selected 3 T/H duty. Swine pellets have a 2–4 mm product range, while the poultry grower basis commonly uses 3–4 mm pellets. Smaller or more demanding products receive their own rate review.

Hygiene control follows a validated programme of incoming checks, operating conditions and finished-feed tests. Mycotoxin acceptance is addressed at the ingredient stage and through the relevant feed-quality decisions.

Cool, grade and make the approved crumbs

Each cooler establishes the product’s storage condition. Grading separates compatible clean returns and released feed. The poultry route can pass cooled pellets through its crumbler for an approved starter range, typically around 1–2 mm.

The animal feed plant in Thailand sends layer mash through its specified particle and recipe route without unnecessary pelleting. Product records identify the physical form as well as the formula, keeping the buyer’s order connected to what leaves the factory.

Pack by product and lot

The selected 40 kg format requires around 150 bags/hour at the combined duty. A minimum three-bag/minute packing rate provides capacity above that flow. Net weight, closure and label are checked before product enters released stock.

The changeover procedure clears the relevant bin, transfer and packing route between products. Returns enter only the compatible approved recipe. Staff retain samples and release records for the dispatched lot.

Utilities and Housekeeping for a Grain-Based Mill

The animal feed plant in Thailand has a 360 kW connected processing allowance, including grinding, mixing, both forming routes, finishing, extraction, conveying and controls. Dock and wider business service interfaces are reviewed separately from the new feed-equipment purchase.

An electricity planning allowance around 500 MWh/year corresponds to approximately 33 kWh per tonne at the annual product basis. Metered consumption follows the grinding fraction, product mix, mash bypass and actual machine loads.

At the six-tonne forming basis, a reference steam addition around 4–6% of feed gives approximately 240–360 kg/hour of conditioning demand. The selected 500 kg/hour source provides margin for the stated duties, with pressure, steam quality and distribution losses checked during the site assessment.

The animal feed plant in Thailand has a working fresh-water provision around 2,300 m³/year, including around 1,400 m³ for steam and water-treatment requirements. The remaining provision supports welfare and selected cleaning. Actual use follows the product and boiler operating programme.

Dust extraction serves receiving, grinding, ingredient opening, mixing and packing. Cooler air treatment follows the selected finishing duty. Collected material returns only when its identity and condition suit the approved feed recipe.

Boiler blowdown, cleaning liquids and sanitary wastewater have defined collection and treatment routes. They are kept away from feed ingredients and released product. Steam-source fuel, storage and service connections follow the actual local boiler design and installation requirements.

Housekeeping also covers retained material in elevators, bin outlets, conveyors and packing hoppers. Pest management, safe equipment isolation and cleanout records are included in the operating programme.

The customer’s applicable Thai factory, feed-quality and environmental requirements are reviewed for the actual operation. Product analysis and release decisions support the labels and animal-use claims made by the feed business.

Animal Feed Plant in Thailand Investment and Working Time

Investment item	Budget for the defined equipment and installation scope
RICHI equipment package	USD 210,000
Total project investment	USD 320,000

The equipment package includes both feed-processing trains, main weighing and mixing, premix preparation, steam conditioning and the selected source, pelleting, cooling, the poultry crumble option, grading, product buffers, packing, extraction and controls.

The total also provides for freight, installation, local foundations, electrical and utility work, existing-building adaptation, commissioning and contingency. The customer’s reusable dock, handling and transport resources support this cost scope.

The animal feed plant in Thailand budget excludes property purchase, new dock construction, replacement of the existing vehicle fleet, extensive buildings, major upstream utility reinforcement and recoverable taxes. Different recipes, product sizes and packing requirements are assessed against their actual duties.

The annual operating basis is 6 × 10 × 250, or 15,000 tonnes. Two scheduled operating periods allow time around ten net daily production hours for checks, changeovers and cleaning.

Staffing allocates five operating positions per period across two periods, eight warehouse or dock roles, three quality roles, three maintenance roles and six sales or administrative roles. The staffing basis is 30, including the wider receiving and grain-trading activity.

The regional programme follows buyer-level demand and accepted ingredient supply. A poultry feed production line and a pig feed production line can share site resources while keeping their recipes and product records clear. The layout and machinery scope follow the customer’s planned output mix.

Plan Your Animal Feed Plant in Thailand

An equipment enquiry for an animal feed plant in Thailand starts with actual formulas, ingredient grades, required feed forms and net operating hours. Site drawings and utility information then show how those products can be made and handled in the available space.

For this animal feed production line, RICHI connects that information to material preparation, recipe controls, suitable mills, product finishing and installation interfaces. Handover training follows the selected formulas and packing formats.

Can the same mill produce mash and pellets?

The approved recipe and product order determine the route. Mash uses its specified preparation and packing bypass, while pellet feed passes through conditioning, forming, cooling and grading.

Why provide two independently controlled trains?

The customer’s programme calls for separately scheduled recipes and product handling. Each three-tonne train has its own preparation and forming duty, with identified product buffers before shared packing.

Is the dock’s handling capacity the feed production capacity?

The dock figure belongs to receiving infrastructure. Feed output follows the accepted ingredients, processing equipment, product specification and net production hours.

What changes when starter crumbs are required?

The approved poultry pellets pass through controlled crumbling after cooling. Grading checks the starter range, and compatible returns follow the identified recipe.
