0086-138 3838 9622Extruded Soybean Production Line in Indonesia
RICHI MACHINERY
overview
RICHI Machinery is a professional manufacturer of feed machinery, pellet equipment, biomass pellet plants, organic fertilizer systems, and cat litter production lines. In 2024, we completed the engineering supply and commissioning of a 30,000 tons per year extruded soybean production line in Indonesia, designed for continuous industrial operation and tailored to local raw material conditions and energy infrastructure.
This extruded soybean production line in Indonesia was built inside the client’s own industrial facility located in East Java, one of the country’s major agricultural and feed production regions. The total building area is 3,000 m², including production workshop, raw material storage, finished product warehouse, office area, and environmental protection systems.
The project was designed with an annual output of 30,000 tons of extruded soybean meal (full-fat soybean powder), operating 300 days per year, 8 hours per day, with a total annual running time of 2,400 hours. The installed production capacity fully matches the client’s market demand and regional feed consumption scale.
The complete extruded soybean production line in Indonesia includes crushing, steam conditioning, wet extrusion, cooling, dust removal, automatic weighing, and packaging sections. All conveying systems adopt bucket elevators and enclosed screw conveyors to ensure sealed operation and environmental compliance.
The total equipment investment for this project was approximately USD 420,000, maintaining a competitive level suitable for mid-scale feed ingredient processors in Southeast Asia.

Project Background and Client Profile
Indonesia has one of the fastest-growing poultry and aquaculture industries in Southeast Asia. The country relies heavily on imported soybean and soybean meal for feed production. However, traditional solvent-extracted soybean meal cannot fully meet the demand for high-digestibility protein in poultry starter feed and aquatic feed.
The client is a local agricultural product processor and feed ingredient distributor serving poultry farms and small feed mills in Java and Sumatra. Before investing in this extruded soybean production line in Indonesia, the company mainly traded imported soybean meal. Due to rising import costs and increasing demand for higher-quality protein ingredients, the client decided to upgrade its value chain by installing its own extrusion system.
The objective of building this extruded soybean production line in Indonesia was:
- To process whole soybeans into high-nutritional extruded soybean powder.
- To improve protein digestibility and reduce anti-nutritional factors.
- To supply poultry integrators and aqua feed mills.
- To increase profit margins compared to trading raw soybeans.
The project maintains the original annual production capacity of 30,000 tons without modification.

Production Process of the Extruded Soybean Production Line in Indonesia
This project adopts a wet extrusion process, which is particularly suitable for improving soybean digestibility and destroying trypsin inhibitors.
Process Flow
- Raw soybean receiving and storage
- Screening and impurity removal
- Crushing
- Steam conditioning
- Wet extrusion
- Cooling and drying
- Packaging and storage
Technical Description
Raw Material Handling
Soybeans are unloaded into receiving pits and transported via screw conveyor to storage silos. The raw beans meet strict quality requirements: moisture <13%, impurity <0.1%.
Screening
Vibrating screen removes stones and damaged beans. Impurities are collected as solid waste.
Crushing
The hammer mill operates under slight negative pressure. Dust is collected by a bag filter.
Steam Conditioning & Wet Extrusion
Steam consumption: 0.3 m³/hour.
The extruder generates heat through mechanical shear and steam injection. Temperature increases rapidly, destroying anti-nutritional factors.
Cooling and Drying
The flap cooler reduces moisture and temperature. Dust is collected by cyclone and discharged through a 15m stack.
Automatic Packaging
The DCS-50 packing scale fills 50 kg woven bags in a fully enclosed system.
The entire extruded soybean production line in Indonesia operates under PLC automatic control, ensuring stable and safe production.
