Pig feed pellet plant in the Philippines

RICHI MACHINERY

Local Raw Materials: Abundant, Accessible, and Sustainable

The Philippines is rich in agricultural resources, which supports a steady supply of feed raw materials for pig production.

This client’s upgraded plant will continue to use locally sourced corn as the primary energy ingredient, combined with rice bran, wheat bran, soybean meal, copra meal, and fish meal for protein. Additionally, smaller amounts of premixes, vitamins, minerals, and essential amino acids are incorporated to ensure balanced nutrition tailored to the growth stages of pigs.

All these raw materials are sourced from domestic suppliers within the client’s province and nearby regions. This not only supports local agriculture but also reduces supply chain costs and stabilizes raw material availability — a key advantage in the increasingly competitive Southeast Asian feed market.

A Customized Process Flow for Efficiency and Quality

The 20TPH pig feed pellet plant in the Philippines was designed with one goal in mind: maximum quality at optimal cost. Since the client already operated a functional crushing system and packaging unit, RICHI’s engineers focused on modernizing the mixing, pelleting, crumbling, and screening stages.

The upgraded process flow for this plant looks like this:

Feeding → Crushing (existing) → Mixing → Pelleting → Cooling → Crumbling → Screening → Packing (existing)

Here’s how each stage works in practice:

1. Mixing: The upgraded mixing system ensures that each batch of raw material is uniformly blended before pelleting. This consistency is critical for ensuring that each pellet contains the intended nutrition levels, which directly affects animal health and growth performance.
2. Pelleting: This is the core of the new system. Raw materials are conditioned with steam, pressed through ring dies, and formed into uniform, dense pig feed pellets. Pellets offer superior feed efficiency and are much easier for farmers to transport and store.
3. Cooling: Freshly pelleted feed is hot and moist; the cooling stage removes excess heat and moisture, stabilizing pellet quality and preventing mold during storage.
4. Crumbling: For different pig growth stages, especially piglets, feed needs to be smaller in size. The crumbling system breaks the standard pellets down into the required size without excessive fines.
5. Screening: Finally, a robust screening system separates out any powder or broken pieces, ensuring only properly formed pellets reach the packaging stage.

With this tailor-made flow, the pig feed pellet plant in the Philippines can produce pig feed pellets with high nutritional integrity, low wastage, and high durability — all essential attributes for both in-house use and external sales.

Versatility for Future Products

Although the current focus is on pig feed pellets, the upgraded 20TPH pig feed pellet plant in the Philippines is not limited to this.

With minor adjustments in raw material formulation and die configurations, this same line can produce feed pellets for poultry, cattle, sheep, or even aquatic animals such as fish, if the client decides to diversify. This production flexibility allows the client to adapt quickly to shifts in local market demand, helping them remain resilient in a competitive industry.

Major Equipment at the Heart of the Plant

The following key machines make up the core of the new pig feed pellet plant in the Philippines:

1. Mixing System: High-efficiency double-shaft paddle mixers for rapid and homogeneous blending.
2. Pelleting System: A robust ring die pig feed pellet machine engineered for consistent performance and minimal downtime.
3. Cooling System: Counterflow coolers that stabilize pellet temperature and moisture levels.
4. Pellet Crumbling System: Precision rollers that crumble pellets to uniform sizes for younger pigs.
5. Screening System: Multi-layer vibrating screens that ensure final product quality by removing fine powder and oversized pieces.

All equipment for pig feed pellet plant in the Philippines is engineered with wear-resistant materials and energy-saving features, which helps reduce operational costs and maintenance frequency over the long run.

The Future of Pig Feed Pellets in the Philippines

Pig farming remains one of the backbones of the Philippine livestock industry. With changing market dynamics and a growing middle-class population, consumer demand for higher-quality pork is steadily increasing. This, in turn, raises the bar for feed quality and efficiency.

Today’s pig farmers are more informed and quality-focused than ever. Pelleted feeds help them improve daily weight gain, feed conversion ratios, and farm hygiene — all of which directly contribute to better farm profitability.

In this context, the client’s upgraded 20TPH pig feed mill positions them strongly in the local market. Not only can they serve their own growing farms with superior pellets, but they can also expand their sales network to supply neighboring pig farmers and cooperatives that lack their own pelleting capacity.

An Investment with Long-Term Payback

This pig feed pellet plant in the Philippines project is more than a simple equipment purchase; it is a strategic transformation. By investing $198,000 USD in this Mixing & Pelleting & Crumbling & Screening System, the client has secured a clear path to higher feed quality, more stable production, and greater control over their product portfolio.

When the equipment ships out of the RICHI factory and begins installation in October 2025, it will mark the next milestone in the client’s business growth. Full operation is expected by the end of 2025 — a timeline that aligns perfectly with the region’s seasonal demand cycles and market trends.
