Reception and Cleaning

Upon arrival of raw materials, animal feed prepare plants implement a strict acceptance program. This includes inspections for appearance, odor, and purity. Next, a cleaning step is performed to remove foreign matter, impurities, and substandard ingredients to ensure purity and quality of animal feed.

grinding system

This step is crucial for subsequent mixing. Specialized animal feed crusher machines are used in the animal feed pellet production line to pulverize the ingredients to the desired particle size, helping that the various ingredients of animal feed formulas can be evenly mixed to improve the overall quality of the feed.

Batching system

At this stage, the ingredients are mixed according to the precise proportions of feed recipe. Feed preparation plants should strictly control the accuracy of the dosing process to ensure that the chemical composition of each batch is uniform and the mix is stable, so as to achieve the target performance of the feed product design.

Mixing system

Under the precise pellet feed formula control, various ingredients are put into the animal feed mixing machine according to the proportion. The scientific mixing process of animal feed mixer machine ensures that the nutrients are fully mixed and homogenized, resulting in a high quality feed ingredient.

Pelletizing system

The mixed raw materials are molded through the feed pellet machine. This is the process of turning powdered materials into pellets and is the most central step in the entire feed production process. The size, shape and density of the pellets are controlled through the use of appropriate ring die pellet machine and equipment, utilizing high pressure and molds to ensure that the quality of the final product meets standards.

Cooling system

After pelleting, the product enters a cooling system to remove residual moisture and stabilize the product. This process uses specialized animal feed pellet cooler machine and drying machine to ensure that the product not only meets quality standards, but also extends its shelf life. The cooler commonly used in feed mills is the countercurrent cooler, which has a good cooling effect, can improve cooling quality and reduce costs.

Pellet Crumbling system

After cooling, depending on the feeding requirements of the specific animal, the feed pellet may need to be further processed to ensure that the product meets the specified pellet size and shape. Typically, some small animals and nestlings require crumbled feeds for ease of ingestion and improved digestibility. In addition, some small ammals also require pellet crumbling.

Screening and Packaging system

The qualified pellets are screened out by a screening machine, and the unqualified products are re-granulated. Use animal feed bagging machines to package the products and store them in a suitable environment. The feed plant uses packaging materials that meet hygiene standards and strictly controls the packing process to ensure that the products are not contaminated or damaged during transportation and storage.

What aspects need to be investigated when building a new feed preparation plant?

First of all, a new feed preparation plant should be fully investigated.

The investigation of raw material information mainly includes raw material varieties, raw material origin, packaging methods and transportation methods;

  • The investigation of breeding information mainly includes the breeding types and quantities of pigs, chickens, fish, ducks and cattle, breeding scale and methods; the investigation of market products mainly includes understanding pellets, crushed materials and powder materials and their proportions;
  • The understanding of planning points mainly includes the government’s requirements for construction land, such as building density, volume ratio, greening rate, building height, building “four-to-four” dimensions, fire regulations, environmental protection regulations, etc.;
  • The understanding of construction information mainly includes local building culture, habits, building material prices, etc.

Secondly, scientific demonstration should be carried out.

According to the investigation information, the relevant departments of the factory production, raw materials, sales, quality control, etc. should be organized to discuss and clarify the raw material receiving method, raw material storage method, production process, production scale, product types; clarify the supporting facilities and requirements such as office and life.

Doing a good job in preliminary investigation is the basis of design, and sufficient discussion and demonstration are the basis of design. The raw material receiving method and storage method are the focus and core of the general plan. The design of single buildings should pay attention to the principles of economy and applicability.

Good planning and design can reflect the characteristics of a modern feed preparation plant, widely apply new processes, new equipment, and new technologies, improve the level of production automation, reduce labor intensity, reduce the number of employees, and lay a good foundation for the company’s operations.

How to determine the floor area of ​​the feed preparation plant production workshop?

The product structure, market share and development goals of the feed preparation plant determine the processing technology and production scale required.

Reasonable processing technology can meet the changes in market requirements for products, and reasonable production scale can meet the requirements of enterprise market development in a certain period of time, so as to achieve both economic and sustainable development of the enterprise, avoid overcapacity and bring pressure to enterprise development.

After the size of the feed processing technology and production scale is determined, the number of crushing lines, mixing lines and granulation lines configured in the entire feed production plant is determined, and the floor area of ​​the production workshop can be basically determined. At the same time, the safe evacuation passage in the production workshop needs to be considered. The production workshop of the feed preparation plant belongs to Class C building.

When the area of ​​each floor is ≥250 m2, 2 safe evacuation exits are set; when the area of ​​each floor is <250 m2 and the number of production personnel at the same time does not exceed 20, one safe evacuation exit is set.

What issues should be considered when building a feed preparation plant?

  1. Site selection and layout

Choosing a suitable site is the key to building a feed preparation plant. Consider factors such as convenient transportation, sufficient water sources, and stable power supply. The layout of the plant should be reasonable to minimize the waste of logistics and personnel flow.

  1. Equipment selection and procurement

Equipment selection is another important link in the construction of a feed preparation plant. According to your own needs, choose equipment with stable performance and reasonable price. At the same time, consider the maintenance and update costs of the equipment to ensure the long-term use value of the equipment.

  1. Environmental protection and safety

Environmental protection and safety are issues that must be considered in the construction of a feed preparation plant. Design and construction should be carried out in strict accordance with relevant national and local laws and regulations to ensure that the treatment and discharge of wastewater, waste gas, waste residue and other wastes meet the standards. At the same time, employee safety training should be strengthened to ensure production safety.

There are many issues to consider when building a feed preparation plant.

How to choose a feed equipment manufacturer for a feed preparation plant?

The feed processing industry is an evolving industry. As people have higher and higher requirements for the animal breeding environment and welfare, they also have higher requirements for the quality of the feed used. As one of the basic infrastructures for producing high-quality feed, the selection of feed preparation plant equipment is becoming more and more important.

Choosing a feed equipment manufacturer that suits you needs to consider many factors. Let’s take a look at some of the issues that should be paid attention to when choosing a manufacturer.

  1. First, you need to consider the reputation of the equipment manufacturer, the supply history of such equipment and evaluate the after-sales service provided. Manufacturers with a good reputation and long-term market presence usually ensure that the equipment provided is of high quality, and the after-sales service and maintenance are relatively stable.
  2. Second, you need to understand the type and scale of feed you produce. Because different feed production requires different types of equipment and technology. After understanding your own production operations, you can communicate with the manufacturer about your specific needs and production platform, and adjust the design according to these specific requirements.
  3. Third, consider the performance and efficiency of the feed preparation plant equipment. Choosing a machine with high efficiency, reliable quality and optimized production process or operation process usually makes feed processing simpler and more efficient, and saves production costs.
  4. Fourth, you can find contact information with the manufacturer to inquire about the installation and maintenance process of the equipment. At the same time, you need to consider factors such as the natural environment and space limitations to ensure that the equipment can adapt to the existing workplace and conditions.
  5. Finally, you also need to consider whether the selected equipment manufacturer can provide services such as technical training and support. In this way, if there are problems during use, you can get technical support and training. This will help improve the quality level and production efficiency of feed industry.

In short, when choosing a feed preparation plant equipment manufacturer, you need to understand many factors such as the market environment, company reputation and history, personal needs, and equipment operation and technology. Only by fully understanding and taking into account these issues can we provide high-quality and reliable process equipment for the feed processing industry and achieve the best benefits of production.

How do feed preparation plants choose raw materials?

Appropriate raw material varieties should be selected according to actual conditions.

In addition to considering the shelf life, production time and compatibility of various raw materials (such as basic copper chloride is more conducive to the stability and preservation of vitamins than copper sulfate pentahydrate), some raw material characteristics and unfavorable factors should also be considered, such as peanut meal is prone to aflatoxin in summer, alcohol grains are often not fresh, and corn protein meal and fish meal are often adulterated and counterfeited.

How to determine the relative positions of a feed preparation plant’s raw material warehouse, production workshop, and finished product warehouse?

There are roughly two types of layouts for raw material warehouses, production workshops, and finished product warehouses (according to the flow direction of materials in the feed preparation plant): “7” shape, i.e., turning shape, and “1” shape, i.e., straight-through shape.

There are many factors that affect the selection of these two forms, such as: the topography and landform of the feed factory land; the condition of the main roads outside the factory area; the logistics within the factory area; environmental protection requirements (the impact of dust emissions and noise on the surrounding areas of the factory area), etc.
