Recently, RICHI undertook the expansion project of a feed mill factory in the United States. The client company of this project was established on April 6, 2007. It mainly produces special aquatic feeds and currently produces 15,000 tons of marine fish feed and 10,000 tons of shrimp feed annually.

Due to the needs of enterprise development, the customer intends to use the existing production plant space, production lines and corresponding supporting facilities, introduce advanced production equipment, and carry out renovation and expansion to improve production capacity.

The reconstruction content of this project is as follows:

1. The original marine fish feed is a kind of puffed feed. In order to expand the scope of use of the product, the name of the original “marine fish feed” is changed to “puffed feed”.
2. The original 110-type ultrafine pulverizer is replaced with a 180-type ultrafine pulverizer;

The expansion content is as follows:

1. Add 11t/a of puffed feed production capacity;
2. Add corresponding production equipment such as elevators, mixing systems, sprayers, dryers, and modulating puffers;
3. Add a set of “pulse dust removal + biological deodorization + spraying” and corresponding exhaust pipes.

After this reconstruction and expansion feed mill engineering project, the production scale of the feed company can reach 60,000 tons of feed per year, including 30,000 tons of shrimp feed and 30,000 tons of puffed feed.

Recently, RICHI Machinery and Peru customers signed an annual production of 60,000 tons of puffed soybean powder project. The total investment is US$900,000. The project uses imported soybeans as raw materials and adopts wet puffing technology. After the project is completed, it will produce 60,000 tons of puffed soybean powder for feed annually.

1. Production process of puffed soybeans
   The production process of puffed soybeans includes cleaning, crushing, pulverizing, tempering, puffing, cooling and other steps. First, the soybeans need to be cleaned to remove impurities, then broken into 4-8 petals, and then crushed into soybean powder that can pass through a certain aperture. Then, the soybean powder enters the conditioner for conditioning to improve the puffing effect. Finally, after the high temperature and high pressure treatment of the puffing machine, the soybean powder is puffed into puffed soybeans, and then packaged after cooling.
2. Factors affecting the yield of puffed soybeans
   The yield of puffed soybeans is affected by many factors. First, the variety and moisture content of soybeans will directly affect the puffing effect. Generally speaking, the lower the moisture content of soybeans, the higher the expansion rate during puffing, and the more puffed soybeans produced. Secondly, differences in production processes and equipment will also lead to changes in the yield of puffed soybeans. Different puffing machine models, die hole sizes, and annular gaps will affect the puffing effect and yield.
3. Nutritional value and application areas of puffed soybeans
   Puffed soybeans not only retain the nutrients of soybeans themselves, such as protein, fat, carbohydrates, etc., but also denature protein and gelatinize starch through high temperature and high pressure treatment, thereby improving digestibility. At the same time, puffed soybeans also have a strong oily aroma and good palatability, and are widely used in livestock and aquatic feeds. Especially in piglet feed, puffed soybeans can replace soybean meal and fish meal, prevent piglet diarrhea, and increase growth rate.

One ton of soybeans can produce about 500-600 kilograms of puffed soybeans after puffing. As a highly nutritious and easily digestible feed raw material, puffed soybeans have broad application prospects in the fields of livestock and aquaculture. With the continuous development of the feed industry, the production technology and application fields of puffed soybeans will continue to expand and improve.
