1
Storage of raw materials
There are many states of raw materials and materials in feed, and various forms of silos must be used. The main raw materials, such as corn and sorghum, are mostly stored in silos. The auxiliary materials, such as bran, soybean meal and other powdered raw materials,, are stored in room-type silos.
2
Cleaning of raw materials
Impurities in feed raw materials not only affect the quality of feed products, but also directly affect the safety of feed processing equipment and personal safety. In severe cases, the entire equipment may be damaged, affecting the smooth progress of feed production, so they should be removed in time.
3
feed grinding
The process flow of feed crushing is determined by the required particle size, feed type and other conditions. According to the number of times the raw materials are crushed, it can be divided into a primary crushing process and a circulating crushing process or a secondary crushing process.
4
feed mixing
The various mixing components are mixed together according to the proportion of the formula, and they are sent to the periodically working “batch mixer” for mixing in batches. This mixing method is more convenient for changing the formula, and there is less mixing between each batch. It is a mixing process currently widely used.
5
Pelleting section
The evenly tempered material is firstly removed by installing a magnet, and then evenly distributed between the pressing roller and the pressing die. In this way, the material enters the ring die pellet machine from the feeding zone and the pressing zone, and is clamped into the die hole by the pressing roller for continuous pelleting to form a columnar feed. As the pressing die rotates, it is cut into granular feed by the cutter fixed outside the pressing die.
6
cooling section
The moisture content of the pellet feed reaches 16%~18% when it just comes out of the pellet mill, and the temperature is as high as 75~85℃. Under such conditions, the pellet feed is easy to deform and break, and it will also become sticky and moldy during storage. The moisture content must be reduced to below 12% and the temperature must be reduced to no more than 8℃ above the air temperature, which requires cooling.
7
crumbling & screening
In order to save electricity, increase production and improve quality, the material is often first made into pellets of a certain size, and then crumbled into qualified products by a crumbler according to the pellet size when used for livestock and poultry feeding. After crumbling, some powder clots and other materials that do not meet the requirements will be produced. Therefore, the pellet feed needs to be screened into products with neat particles and uniform size.
8
bagging section
Packaging is the process of packaging processed feed, the purpose of which is to protect the feed from contamination and oxidation and extend the storage period of the feed. Common packaging equipment includes packaging machines, sealing machines, etc. In the packaging process, it is necessary to select appropriate packaging equipment according to the packaging requirements of the feed to ensure that the quality of the feed packaging meets the requirements.

FAQ of commercial feed mill
What are the principles of formula design for commercial feed mills?
The principles of commercial feed mill formula design are as follows:
- First, it must adapt to market demand, and similar products must be competitive in the market among other manufacturers;
- Second, it must be scientifically advanced, and new knowledge and new achievements in the field of animal nutrition must be used in the formula;
- Third, it must be economical, and the feed formula cost must be the lowest under the premise of ensuring livestock and poultry nutrition;
- Fourth, it must be operational, and under the premise of meeting market demand, it must make full use of a variety of raw materials according to the company’s own conditions to ensure stable feed quality;
- Fifth, the formula must be legal, and feed additives that are clearly prohibited by different countries must not be illegally added to the feed. The formula should be adjusted in time according to changes in raw material prices to reduce costs, such as using wheat instead of corn.
How to ensure the storage quality of finished feed products in commercial feed mills?
In commercial feed mills, the key points of quality control for finished feed storage are:
- Maintain good hygiene in finished product warehouses. Dirt and insects are easily hidden under the pads in finished product warehouses, so they need to be cleaned in time and sprayed with pesticides for disinfection when necessary.
- Products should be delivered to users as soon as possible within their shelf life. If the finished product is stored for too long, it may exceed the shelf life (usually 3 months) from the commercial feed mill to the farmer, so the feed storage time should not exceed 30 days.
- Custodians should master the basic knowledge and characteristics of various feed storage. For example, feed with molasses added will become dull in color and lose the molasses smell within 2 to 4 weeks, and feed with high fat content has a shorter storage period than general feed.
How to design the location of the commercial feed mill boiler?
- The location of the boiler: It should meet the planning and fire protection requirements. It should be arranged close to the main workshop to reduce the heat loss of the pipeline.
- Boiler selection: Boilers mainly include coal boilers, gas boilers, oil boilers, and electric boilers. Generally speaking, coal boilers are relatively economical, but in some places, they are restricted by environmental protection. Coal boilers require coal yards and exhaust gas treatment facilities, which occupy a large area; oil and gas boilers are environmentally friendly, but they are not economical compared to coal boilers, and electric boilers are generally not used. How to choose should be determined by considering the comprehensive economic and environmental requirements.
- Boiler water treatment: Boiler water treatment should be taken seriously. The safety of boiler operation and the service life of the boiler are related to the boiler water quality. The investment in boiler water treatment equipment cannot be ignored.
- Boiler exhaust heat energy utilization: Boiler exhaust heat energy utilization should be taken seriously. The investment in installing a heat exchanger is economical, saving operating costs, once and for all.

The plant construction of a commercial feed mill is an important link to ensure production safety, hygiene and efficient operation. In plant construction, the following aspects should be noted:
- Plant planning: According to the production process and product type, the layout of the plant should be reasonably planned to ensure the reasonable division between the production area, storage area and office area.
- Plant design: Materials with corrosion resistance, easy cleaning, anti-slip and fire resistance should be selected to ensure the hygiene and safety of the plant.
- Sanitary facilities: The factory should be equipped with toilets, disinfection equipment and other sanitary facilities to ensure the health of employees and the hygiene of the production environment.
Equipment selection
The equipment selection of the commercial feed mill has a direct impact on product quality and production efficiency. In the equipment selection, the following factors need to be considered:
- Equipment performance: Select advanced, efficient and stable equipment to improve production efficiency and product quality.
- Equipment hygiene: The equipment of the feed processing plant should meet the hygiene standards, be easy to clean and maintain, to ensure food safety.
- Equipment maintenance: Regularly maintain and maintain the equipment to extend the life of the equipment and ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
Production process design
The production process design of the commercial feed mill directly affects the quality and production efficiency of the product. When formulating the production process, the following aspects should be paid attention to:
- Raw material procurement: Establish a cooperative relationship with suppliers to ensure the high-quality supply of raw materials.
- Production process: According to the characteristics of the product and market demand, reasonably design the production process to ensure production efficiency and product quality.
- Quality control: Establish a quality control system, and conduct strict quality inspection and record keeping at all stages from raw materials entering the factory to products leaving the factory.
- Packaging and storage: Select packaging materials and methods suitable for product characteristics to ensure the freshness and safety of the product.
Summary:
The construction of a commercial feed mill is a systematic project, which requires comprehensive consideration of multiple aspects such as site selection, plant construction, equipment selection and production process design. Only by strictly controlling and standardizing each link can we ensure the safe and efficient operation of the feed mill plant and produce high-quality feed products. (Find RICHI on youtube)
What kind of fully automatic packaging system can be used in commercial feed mills?
Bag taking, bagging, metering, bag sewing, pallet stacking, and transfer stacking are all completed automatically. At the same time, the delivery and bag taking are also completed automatically. The system has a high degree of automation and high efficiency, but the investment is large.
The bulk finished product method is suitable for supplying farms, saving packaging costs and high efficiency, which is the direction of social development; the number and capacity of bulk finished product warehouses should be determined according to actual sales, and the total warehouse capacity should meet 3~4 days of sales.
How to choose the method of receiving raw materials for commercial feed mill?
The selection of the receiving method of raw materials in commercial feed mills is based on the comprehensive consideration of the raw material transportation method (car, train, ship), packaging method (bag, bulk) and raw material storage method (room-type bag warehouse, silo, room-type bulk warehouse).
It should be adapted to a variety of raw material packaging and a variety of transportation tools, and should be based on improving the level of mechanical automation, increasing the receiving speed, reducing labor intensity, and reducing the number of employees, while taking into account investment factors.
