FAQ of animal feed production plant
What are the basic requirements for site selection for 3-4 t/h animal feed production plants?
- The site selected for the animal feed production plant should meet the requirements of the urban construction and development plan.
- It should meet the requirements of the feed plant’s master plan and have appropriate room for development.
- It should be close to the raw material production area and the breeding base, and should be located in a place with convenient water and land transportation.
- The terrain should be as flat as possible, and the elevation of buildings and roads should be at least 0.5m higher than the groundwater level.
- The foundation of the feed production plant site should be solid.
- The convenience of water supply, drainage, and power supply should be considered.
- It should be located downwind of residential areas, away from flammable and explosive enterprises and important national defense and military projects, and keep a certain distance from the breeding plant. It should not be located downwind of industrial and mining enterprises that emit harmful gases.
- The terrain of the feed plant area should be rectangular, and attention should be paid to saving land and trying not to occupy arable land.
How to choose a 3-4 t/h animal feed production plant?
- Production capacity requirements: First determine the required feed output, such as the output per hour or per day. Determining the required production capacity helps determine the size and configuration of the small feed production line.
- Raw material types and characteristics: Consider the types and characteristics of the feed raw materials to be processed, such as pellet feed, powder feed, feed containing fiber, etc. When selecting a small feed production line, make sure that the machinery can adapt to the required feed processing technology.
- Equipment structure and function: Evaluate the required equipment functions, including crushing, mixing, granulation, cooling, screening and packaging of pellet feed. Select suitable equipment based on these functions to ensure that it can meet the requirements of the animal feed production plant.
- Economy and operability: Consider the economy and operability of the animal feed production plant, including factors such as equipment price, production efficiency, energy consumption level, labor input and maintenance cost. Choose economical, practical, easy to operate and simple to maintain equipment to improve the efficiency of the production line and reduce costs.
- Manufacturer reputation and after-sales service: When selecting important feed mill equipment, consider the reputation and after-sales service of the equipment supplier. Choose well-known brands and manufacturers with a good reputation to ensure the quality of the equipment is reliable and can provide timely after-sales service and technical support.
How should the laboratory of a 3-4T/H small animal feed production plant be positioned? What is its mission?
Small feed mills generally refer to animal feed production plants with a daily production capacity of less than 20 t. Since this type of small feed line has a small production scale and a small investment scale, the construction of its laboratory does not need to be too large.
The appropriate scale of the laboratory is mainly determined by the workload it undertakes.
Generally speaking, the task of the laboratory of a small feed plant is to conduct routine project testing of the raw materials and products of the factory, and does not provide external analysis and testing services.
Therefore, the construction scale and investment do not need to be comprehensive and large. The general requirement is to be able to complete the routine testing projects of the feed raw materials and products of the factory.
I have a livestock and poultry feed production plant, and now I want to produce biomass feed. How can I achieve this? What equipment do I need to add?
Biofeed is an environmentally friendly and clean feed developed using biotechnology, with the characteristics of no residue, no pollution, high conversion efficiency, and enhanced animal immunity.
The production of biofeed can make wider use of feed sources, reduce feed raw material costs, improve feed quality, and enhance market competitiveness.
For animal feed production plants, it can achieve better economic and social benefits. The key is good feed quality, excellent breeding quality, fast growth and feed saving. Traditional livestock and poultry feed factories can make full use of and transform the original processing equipment.
As long as they add fermentation and drying systems, they can switch to the production of new biofeeds with low investment and quick results.
RICHI has successfully researched and developed biofeed processing technology and equipment, and has built complete sets of projects around the world, providing reliable guarantees for the production of biofeed.
I have a 3 t/h animal feed production plant and want to transform it into a compound fertilizer plant. Is it possible?
The production of compound fertilizers is similar to feed production, but there are also fundamental differences. Feed is the nutrient required by different animals at different growth stages, and compound fertilizer is the nutrient required by different plants at different biological stages.
The raw materials used in compound fertilizer production are relatively wide. The feed mill we are talking about here is mainly transformed into a compound fertilizer production plant to produce organic and inorganic compound fertilizers.
The governments of developed countries and many developing countries in the world are actively advocating to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and to apply more green fertilizers such as compound organic fertilizers. Organic compound fertilizers have the advantages of high efficiency, soil improvement, and crop quality improvement.
The compound fertilizer production process also requires systems such as crushing, batching, mixing, granulation, drying, cooling, screening and packaging. It is just that according to the characteristics of the raw materials, special compound fertilizer equipment is required.
Some feed processing equipment can be transformed and utilized, and some equipment can be replaced and the production process can be improved to transform a 3 t/h animal feed production plant into a compound fertilizer production plant.
RICHI has transformed and built dozens of organic compound fertilizer processing plants for customers using livestock and poultry manure, sludge, brewery waste, grain processing plant waste, and domestic organic waste, all of which have achieved good economic benefits. (Find RICHI on Youtube)
