1
Receiving of raw materials
The raw material storage system includes silos (a huge cylinder, a landmark building in a general feed factory), oil tanks (for storing oil, usually soybean oil), and raw material warehouses (where packaged raw materials are stored).
2
Raw material cleaning
Raw material cleaning can remove impurities and contaminants to ensure the safety and hygiene of raw materials. Raw material cleaning system: generally includes a cylindrical primary cleaning screen and a permanent magnetic cylinder.
3
grinding system
Raw material crushing is to crush the raw materials to improve the effect of subsequent processing. Raw material crushing is nothing more than using a crusher to crush the materials into the particle size you need.
4
Batching and mixing system
Put various materials on the batching scale according to the quantity specified in the formula, and then put them into the mixer for mixing. When the mixing uniformity reaches the standard, it becomes a semi-finished feed product.
5
Pelleting section
Steam is introduced from the conditioner to mature the mixed materials, which can sterilize, make the feed easier to digest and absorb, and increase the service life of the equipment. The matured materials are then pelletized. The size and length of the pellets are controlled by the ring die and cutter of the ring die pellet machine.
6
Cooling system
Generally, it is used to reduce the moisture content of the feed to prevent the feed from getting moldy. In winter, the cooling tower and air inlet must also be heated, otherwise the moisture content will exceed the standard. If you want to process feed for chickens, piglets, etc., you can configure a pellet crumbler.
7
screening & packaging
After cooling and crumbling, the feed cannot be packaged directly. It needs to be graded to screen out the materials with too large or too small particles. Only the materials with qualified particle size are retained to ensure the standard and quality of each package of feed.
8
Quality testing and quality control
The process flow of the feed mill factory also includes quality testing and quality control to ensure the stability and reliability of feed quality and to ensure that the produced feed meets relevant standards and requirements.

FAQ of feed mill factory
How to design a silo system for a feed mill factory?
- Silo location: should be as close to the feed workshop as possible to save energy consumption for raw material transportation;
- Silo function: should be designed with cleaning, temperature measurement, silo dumping, ventilation and dust removal functions;
- Discharging port design: according to the raw material entering the animal feed factory, if there are mostly bulk raw materials and no dump trucks, a car unloading flip platform should be designed. If there are mostly bagged raw materials, manual bag unpacking is required. The size of the unloading port should be large enough to be suitable for multiple people to unload at the same time and shorten the unloading time; at the same time, the unloading canopy should meet the unloading requirements.
- Powder silo: silos are generally only suitable for the storage of granular raw materials, but small-diameter silos (within 6 m in diameter) can increase the cone angle of the discharge hopper, enlarge the size of the discharge port, and cooperate with special discharge equipment and “air cannon” and other devices to store powder raw materials with good fluidity, but management should also be strengthened, otherwise once the powder raw materials clump in the silo, it will be difficult to discharge.
What quality control systems do you have in place?
Adhering to the concept of quality starting from design, the feed mill factory project completely eliminates design errors! Adopting internationally advanced design software, modular, parametric design and quality control system, three-dimensional display model, it is clear at a glance in the design stage, automatically generating engineering drawings, section drawings and non-standard prefabricated parts drawings, eliminating errors, ensuring refined and standardized design.
RICHI’s leading standardized quality control system embodies perfect engineering. 86 categories and more than 450 prefabricated parts adopt three-dimensional standardized module design to eliminate errors and be beautiful; reduce dead angles in connection links, reduce residues, and facilitate operation and maintenance; prefabricated parts are standardized in factory production and assembled on site, which greatly shortens the installation period and improves the quality of the feed mill factory project.
If you want to build a feed mill factory, should you build it yourself or rent one?
In the feed industry, choosing the right feed mill factory is a key step in the successful operation of an enterprise. Self-built factories and directly rented factories each have their own unique advantages and challenges, which depend on the scale, financial strength, production needs and strategic planning of the animal feed factory.
Self-built factories
(1) Advantages:
- High degree of customization: Self-built factories can be customized and built according to the special needs of the feed mill factory, such as production line layout, hygiene standards, environmental protection requirements, etc., to ensure a perfect match for the production environment.
- Potential for asset appreciation: As corporate assets, factory land and buildings may realize asset appreciation over time and market development.
- Strong stability: Once built, the company has a stable production base without worrying about uncertain factors such as lease expiration or landlord changes.
- Convenient long-term planning: Self-built factories enable enterprises to gradually expand or renovate according to market changes and production capacity needs to meet long-term development needs.
(2) Challenges:
- Fund pressure: Self-built factories involve a large amount of capital investment, including land purchase, planning and design, construction and construction costs, which may bring great economic pressure to enterprises.
- Long construction period: From site selection to construction completion, self-built factories need to go through cumbersome approval procedures and construction processes, which takes a long time.
- High risk: Self-built factories involve multiple links and partners. Poor management or improper selection may lead to risks such as project quality problems and safety accidents.
- Limited flexibility: Once built, the scale and layout of the feed mill factory are relatively fixed, and it is difficult to adjust quickly according to market changes.
Leased factory
(1) Advantages:
- Low financial pressure: Leased factories only need to pay relatively low rent, which reduces the financial pressure of enterprises.
- High flexibility: Leased factories enable enterprises to quickly adjust production scale and location according to market demand and respond flexibly to market changes.
- Low risk: No need to bear risks in the construction process, such as project quality problems, safety accidents, etc.
- Save worry and effort: Leased factories usually have basic production facilities and conditions, and enterprises can quickly move in and put into production.
(2) Challenges:
- Rent burden: Rent is a long-term expenditure, and it may rise with market fluctuations, increasing the operating costs of enterprises.
- Restricted conditions: Leased factories may be subject to some restrictions, such as prohibition of structural modification, which will affect the production needs of enterprises.
- Many uncertain factors: The lease term is usually short, and after the expiration, it is necessary to face the problem of renewal or relocation, which is uncertain.
- Difficulty of brand building: It is difficult for leased factories to form a unique brand effect and corporate culture atmosphere of the enterprise.
Comprehensive analysis:
When choosing to build or lease a factory, animal feed mills should comprehensively consider their actual situation and development needs. Feed companies with sufficient funds and clear long-term plans can choose to build their own factories; companies with limited funds and the need to quickly enter the market or flexibly adjust are more suitable for leasing factories.
No matter which method is chosen, it is necessary to pay attention to risk management and cost control to ensure the steady development of the enterprise.
How intelligent is the feed mill factory you provide?
The development of feed engineering is inseparable from the innovation of intelligent plant areas. RICHI insists on multiple application businesses such as intelligent logistics, intelligent warehouses, intelligent production, intelligent feed production lines, and intelligent quality control, and provides excellent operation and management services on this basis
- Intelligent control system, scheduler, big data control and processing, energy consumption and maintenance monitoring of production sections. Dust-free hydraulic unloading shed for raw material reception, automatic unpacking machine, and positive pressure silo for powder.

- Ingredient mixing and automatic calibration scale for ingredients, micro-scale system, automatic control of pelletizer in pelletizing and cooling section, automatic oiling of pelletizer, automatic gap adjustment of roller, feed pelletizer head material processing, cooler moisture adjustment, cooler tail material processing, etc.
- The technology of intelligent production workshops brings unlimited possibilities for development. (Find RICHI on youtube)
How do feed mill factories choose the storage method for raw materials?
The choice of storage method for raw materials in feed mill factory is mainly to adapt to the diversity of raw material packaging methods and transportation tools, improve the level of automation in raw material reception and use, and ensure the quality of raw material storage.
How to design auxiliary rooms for feed mill factory?
Machine repair, hardware warehouse, woven bag warehouse, premix warehouse are all auxiliary production rooms. They can be used to isolate space in the raw material warehouse or finished product warehouse, reduce single buildings, simplify layout, and save investment.
The partition wall is generally 2.5~3.0 m, and it is recommended to use lightweight materials. The partition wall does not need to design a foundation and can be built directly on the floor to save costs.
