Poultry livestock feed processing plant in Indonesia

RICHI MACHINERY

Five months to define the equipment package

Between the initial enquiry and the contract, RICHI explained ingredient cleaning, grinding, mixing, pressing, cooling, crumbling and screening. The discussion linked each machine to the material it receives and the result it must deliver. For the customer, this made the proposal easier to assess than a standalone list of motors and equipment names.

The scope review also covered raw-material supply, electrical service, operator instruction and equipment appearance. The customer requested a custom paint scheme rather than RICHI’s usual white and green. That detail formed part of the project identity, while equipment access, clear operating labels and an understandable process route remained central to daily use.

The contract was signed on October 11, 2023, following the May enquiry. The equipment package was planned around a small batch-production operation with a nominal 1–2 T/H project range. The contract milestone establishes the agreed purchase; production results require separate commissioning and operating records.

Match ingredient condition to the intended diet

The ingredient brief for this small feed mill in Indonesia includes corn, rice bran, copra meal, palm kernel cake and cassava-derived material, with soybean meal and small nutrient additions used according to the formula. These materials should not be treated as interchangeable sources of energy or protein. Their analyses, fibre levels, moisture and handling characteristics determine where they fit in poultry or livestock diets.

Cassava residue needs particular definition at purchase: fresh wet residue and dried meal place very different demands on storage and processing. This preparation-to-pelleting scope assumes ingredients arrive in a suitable dry, stable form. Wet residue requires a separately specified preparation route before it can enter this mill; the pellet press is not a dryer.

Rice bran is assessed for freshness and condition, and protein meals for identity and agreed quality. Copra meal and palm kernel cake require species-appropriate inclusion limits. Premixes, minerals and amino acids are accurately weighed and incorporated through the specified mixing sequence. A local delivery may contain imported material, so supplier location alone does not establish ingredient origin.

A batch route from weighed ingredients to packed pellets

The poultry livestock feed processing plant in Indonesia follows a ring-die feed-pelleting route. It does not use biomass equipment to process animal diets. Preparation starts with weighing and separation of foreign material, followed by recipe-specific grinding and controlled blending before the mash reaches conditioning and pressing.

Weighing and cleaning → Grinding → Batch mixing → Steam conditioning → Ring-die pelleting → Cooling → Crumbling or bypass → Screening → Weighed packing

The process checks follow the material through the line:

Begin with defined products and add grades deliberately

The same basic preparation and pelleting route can support different poultry and selected livestock feeds, but changing the recipe is only part of a product change. Fibre content, grind, pellet diameter, die condition and the need for crumbling affect how the line operates. A new grade is assessed through both its nutritional specification and its physical processing behaviour.

A sensible launch plan concentrates on a small number of repeatable products. Broiler pellets and chick crumbs, for example, need separate recipes and finishing settings even when they share machinery. A goat supplement is not automatically a complete forage replacement, and a rabbit diet is not a poultry recipe with a different label. The intended feeding use must remain clear.

One pelleting route with matched preparation and finishing

This poultry feed pelleting line in Indonesia uses one ring-die pressing route, supported by grinding, batch mixing, cooling, crumbling, screening and packing. The feed mill pellet machine is assessed against the chosen recipe and die, rather than selected from the project capacity alone. The connected equipment duties below show what needs to keep pace with that press.

Turn the reference capacity into a production schedule

The 1–2 T/H range describes a production duty, not an automatic daily sales quantity. A complete shift also contains ingredient receiving, weighing, start-up, recipe changes, cleaning and checks. The owner therefore needs a batch schedule that identifies both available run time and the acceptable output for the selected product.

For this livestock feed production line, a small production team benefits from visible batch status: ingredients weighed, mixer released, correct die fitted, finishing route selected and bags identified. Those simple handovers make it easier to find a missed addition or a wrong product destination before an entire run has been packed.

The calculations below are planning examples, not installed mixer specifications or measured factory results. They use a 250 kg batch and a reference finished-feed rate. Actual sizing must account for the complete cycle, conditioning moisture, cooling losses, screening returns and the route’s usable yield. The screen-return example is measured entirely at the cooled-screen stage: 2 T/H is accepted product, 5% of the inlet returns internally, and moisture is held constant across that screen. It is not an extraneous 5% loss or a complete press-inlet balance.

Custom colour with practical operating identification

The customer’s chosen paint scheme gives the equipment package a consistent identity. For operators, the more useful visual details are durable machine labels, direction indicators, accessible controls and clear batch destinations. The handover should connect those labels to the operating instructions so a new team can follow the process without relying on colour alone.

A handover organised around repeatable batches

For a new livestock feed business in Indonesia, the owner needs to understand how to start, monitor and stop the mill as well as how to change a recipe. Instruction should connect weighing records, grinding settings, mixing sequence, steam preparation, pellet condition and cooling. Each step has an observable check, making training useful during ordinary production rather than only during a demonstration.

For the animal feed production line, commissioning should verify routing and machine direction before feed trials, then establish a baseline using an agreed recipe. Pellets are assessed after cooling and screening, and the quantity accepted for packing is recorded separately from material returned for reprocessing. This gives the owner a meaningful starting point for later production comparisons.

The checks also need to cover handling interruptions: a blocked chute, a stopped packing station, a low ingredient bin or an interrupted steam supply. Operators should know the response sequence and when to stop upstream feeding. A clear restart procedure helps preserve batch identity instead of mixing uncertain material into the next saleable lot.

Specify the first product before expanding the range

For a poultry livestock feed processing plant in Indonesia of this size, the most useful design information is specific: the first diets to be made, the available ingredients, the required pellet or crumb grade and the hours available for production. These inputs determine grinding requirements, batch size, pressing duty and packing workload.

Building and utility requirements follow the equipment arrangement and complete motor schedule. Access is needed for die changes, screen replacement, ingredient handling and maintenance. Steam delivery and condensate management belong in the installation brief. A small nominal capacity does not eliminate these services or justify guessing a building area and electrical load.

Send RICHI the intended poultry and livestock products, ingredient list, target output and available power and heat services. Include whether the feed is for the owner’s farms, bag sales or both. A useful proposal can then connect the machinery to a practical batch plan and a clear finished-feed acceptance basis.

The project’s distinctive feature is the customer’s starting point: a newcomer asking how to build a mill, then defining a complete equipment package within five months. The next engineering priority is equally concrete—make the first agreed feed consistently, record the result and qualify further products one at a time.
