The time required to build a broiler feed mill varies depending on the specific situation and mainly depends on the following factors:

1. Factory construction scale and purpose:
The larger the feed factory construction scale, the longer the construction time will be. However, reducing the scale of construction will not necessarily shorten the construction time, because the size of the plant is related to the installation of its equipment and is closely related to the engineer’s construction plan. The purpose of the factory building is also a factor that affects the construction time.

2. Design of architectural and civil structures:
The design and preparation of architectural and civil structures takes a lot of time. Therefore, the construction time of a broiler feed mill project is usually calculated based on site selection and preparation of the site. During this time, the design of the building and civil works was factored into discussions of many issues, including local government regulations and special requirements required for the project.

3. Equipment manufacturing and installation:
During the construction of the broiler feed mill, a large number of broiler feed mill equipment needs to be manufactured and installed, such as crushers, conveyors, mixers, etc., which require time and professional manufacturing skills. Therefore, equipment manufacturing and installation can take several months.

4. Local government approval:
In some areas, the construction of broiler feed mills requires local government approval. Approval may take several months or longer. To sum up, taking the above factors into consideration, it usually takes 6 months to a year to build a standard size broiler feed mill.

Compound broiler feed is a mixture composed of a variety of raw materials (including additives) evenly mixed according to animal feeding standards and the nutritional characteristics of the raw materials.

Internationally, the production technology of broiler feed mill is generally divided into two categories: one is the process of crushing first and then batching; the other is the process of batching first and then crushing.

(1) Crushing first and then batching processing technology

The first crushing and then batching processing technology is to crush the raw materials to be crushed into powder one by one through the crushing equipment, and then enter their respective intermediate batching bins according to the proportion of the feed formula.

After measuring these powdery raw materials one by one, they enter the mixing equipment for mixing. After thorough mixing, the powdered compound feed will be formed. If it needs to be formed, it will enter the granulation system and be processed into granules.

The characteristics of the process are: this process adopts computer-controlled production, and the ingredients, mixing process and pre-mixing process need to be carried out according to the formula and production procedures; it is mostly used for large-scale broiler feed mill production, high proportion requirements and mixing uniformity, and many types of raw materials.

(2) Processing technology of batching first and then crushing

The first mixing and then crushing processing technology first mixes various raw materials (excluding vitamins and trace elements) together according to the ratio of the pet food formula using a metering method, and then crushes them.

The crushed powder enters the mixing equipment for batch processing. Mix continuously, and add diluted vitamins, trace elements and other additives at the beginning of mixing. After mixing evenly, it will be powdered pet food.

If the powdered compound feed needs to be pressed into pellet feed, the powdered feed will be conditioned with steam, heated to soften, and then entered into a broiler pelletizer for granulation, and then cooled and pelletized to become broiler feed.

The characteristics of the process are: the raw material warehouse is also an ingredient warehouse, reducing investment; no more warehouses are needed, and it can adapt to changes in material types; the working condition of the feed crusher will directly affect the work of the entire plant.

Advantages and disadvantages of the two processes

1. Crushing first and then batching process

• Advantages: When crushing a single type of feed, the crusher can give full play to its crushing efficiency, reduce power consumption, increase output, and reduce production costs according to the physical characteristics of pet food. The screen or air volume of the crusher can also be adjusted according to different particle size requirements. Selection and replacement can achieve the best particle size quality of powdered compound feed.
• Disadvantages: It requires more batching bins, inlet and outlet control valves, arch breaking and other vibration devices, so the production process is complex and the broiler feed mill construction investment is large; when more than three types of feed need to be crushed, multiple crushers must be used, otherwise will cause the crusher to frequently change varieties, operate frequently, have large load changes, low production efficiency, and high power consumption.

2. First batching and then crushing process

• Advantages: simple process flow, compact structure, low investment, and energy saving. The raw material warehouse is the batching warehouse, thus eliminating the need for intermediate batching warehouses and intermediate control equipment.
• Disadvantages: Part of the crushed feed needs to be crushed, resulting in too fine particles, which affects the output of the crusher and wastes electricity.

Generally speaking, both methods are used by broiler feed mill factories, and ultimately it depends on your needs, raw materials, formula, and whether there is a special process. (Find RICHI on YouTube)
