This is a comprehensive feed mill project and also an aqua feed mill expansion project in Brazil.
The 10 t/h aqua feed mill in Brazil project was originally a manufacturer that processes livestock and poultry feed, concentrated feed, premix, and extruded feed. Based on the prospects of aquatic feed and biological fermentation feed, the client company finally decided to invest US$3 million to expand the aqua feed factory.
The 10 t/h aquatic feed mill in Brazil project covers a total area of 33367.96m2. The expansion project relies on the existing workshop and builds a new 5-story aquatic products workshop with a total construction area of 3674.35m2 in the existing factory area.

The main raw and auxiliary materials of this 10 t/h aqua feed mill in Brazil project are detailed in the table below:
Name | Consumption (t) (before expansion) | Consumption (t) (after expansion) | Specification |
Soybean meal | 35088 | 55728 | 25kg, bagged |
Corn | 17850 | 28350 | 25kg, bagged |
Flour | 12920 | 20520 | 25kg, bagged |

After the expansion and operation of this 10 t/h aqua feed mill in Brazil project, the main energy consumed will be water, electricity, and boiler steam. The construction relies on the company's existing public and auxiliary projects.
Production line name | Product name | Annual output (t) | Steam consumption(kg/t) | Maximum daily steam consumption (t) |
2 livestock feed production lines | chicken and duck feed | 10000 | 50~80 | 2.7 |
Pig pellets | 18000 | 50~80 | 4.8 | |
1 concentrated feed production line | Concentrated feed | 6000 | 50~80 | 1.6 |
1 premix production line | premix | 6000 | 50~80 | 1.6 |
Shrimp feed production line 1 | shrimp feed | 3200 | 200~250 | 2.7 |
1 expanded aquatic feed production line | Puffed fish feed | 40000 | 500~600 | 80 |
1 extruded livestock feed production line | Puffed livestock and poultry feed | 1800 | 500~600 | 3.6 |
1 shrimp feed production line | shrimp feed | 10000 | 200~250 | 8.3 |
1 expanded aquatic feed production line | Puffed fish feed | 40000 | 500~600 | 80 |
1 fermentation raw material production line | Fermentation raw materials | 13000 | 40~50 | 2.2 |
As can be seen from the table above, after the 10 t/h shrimp fish aqua feed mill in Brazil project is implemented, the maximum daily steam volume will be 187.4t, and the maximum hourly steam volume will be 11.7t.
The existing 15t/h biomass-fired steam boiler gas supply capacity in the plant can satisfy the entire plant after the expansion project is put into operation. Boiler steam supply requirements.
The connection between equipment layout and 10 t/h Brazil aqua feed mill process flow is basically reasonable, the building structure is basically complete, and can meet the production process requirements.
All processes in the production workshop are reasonably arranged and sufficient space is reserved to ensure smooth transportation of feed.
The biological feed of this 10 t/h aqua feed mill in Brazil project uses soybean meal, corn DDGS, flour, chicken meal, etc. as the main raw materials, and is combined with trace ingredients such as vitamins, amino acids, and minerals to make granular feed. The project adopts the process of first crushing and then batching.
The raw and auxiliary materials that need to be crushed (soybean meal, corn DDGS, rice bran) are crushed by the crusher respectively, enter the batching bin, and are mixed with other raw and auxiliary materials that do not need to be crushed (fish meal, flour, etc.) The machine performs mixing, puffing and granulation processes to produce feed products.
The production process of the puffed fish feed production line and the shrimp feed production line of this 10 t/h aquatic feed plant in Brazil project are basically the same. Except that the feed of the puffed fish feed line needs to be puffed and sprayed with grease, only the ratio of raw and auxiliary materials is different.
The main processes are briefly described as follows:
The production process of the fermentation raw material production line is as follows:
Brief analysis of process flow:
The semi-finished product raw materials are put into the raw material warehouse. The bacteria and water are automatically weighed and entered into the water distribution scale and mixed evenly. The raw materials enter the vacuum tank for mixing.
The bacteria liquid is automatically entered into the vacuum tank from the water distribution scale for mixing. After the mixing is completed, the materials are sent to the finished product warehouse by the conveyor belt. The finished product is packed on a scale and fermented in a cool place for three days.
It is worth highlighting the enviable resilience of Brazilian feed companies in face of dwindling increase in labour productivity, low economic growth, contraction of supply due to the scarcity of inputs and concerning exchange rate. They overcome these obstacles and continue to manage high costs and supply producers.
The production of feed for fish and shrimp totalled 1.4 million tonnes in Brazil last year. An atypical colder climate also reduced Brazilian consumption for those products during the months between September and October. Even so, a moderate recovery should take place in the last months of the year and allow feed demand to increase around 8% in the whole year.
Brazilian aquaculture production could reach 10 million tons annually, given the country’s favourable climate, availability of fresh water, the extent of the coastline and its millions of hectares of lakes and reservoirs.
As one of the countries with the fastest growing aquatic feed processing scale in South America, Brazil is developing aquaculture and aquatic feed processing at a very impressive growth rate.
