10T/H Poultry Feed Mill in USA

The client company is one of the largest in the local on this market and is recognized for the high quality of the feed, and for the wide range of different feed types tailored to the different needs and growth stages of the animals. And with this new pelleting solution, this new poultry feed production line will be able to target another segment of farm clients.

Food safety is of utmost importance, and the process of pelleting the feed can reduce the incidence of salmonella and mycotoxins. Along with grinding, conditioning with good quality steam is one of the most important conditions for obtaining a good physical quality of the feed. Conditioning creates thermal, chemical and mechanical energy. This disrupts the structure of the starch in the feed and leads to gelatinization, plasticizes proteins, and softens fibres.

Poultry feed production technology

The new poultry feed mill in USA is a high-end 10 t/h solution, with a conditioner that heats the feed to 85°C, followed by a sanitizer which pasteurizes the feed before it enters the pellet press. The animal feed pellet machine can produce 2mm, 3.5mm and 5mm pellets. The hot pellets are cooled in counter flow cooler, and a crumbler makes it possible to subsequently crumble the pellets into granulate when producing starter feed.

At the end of the process, the pellets are gently mixed with a protective oil coating, which is sprayed onto the pellets for even distribution. It is also possible to add vitamins to the coating.

The process is controlled by a fully automatic computer system. The systems allow for automatic, remote start and stop of the pelleting line, and for continuous optimization of temperature and throughput.

Old equipment replacement

Apart from investing in the 10t/h poultry feed mill in USA, this customer has also refurbished the existing feed factory with new advanced machinery. The existing hammer mill has been replaced by a RICHI poultry feed grinder.

One of the advantages of the RICHI feed grinder is that it is possible to vary the grinding degree during operation, and thereby optimize the feed structure for different products. Other advantages are the very low noise level during operation, an exceptionally long durability of wear parts, and high capacity with low power consumption.

The high capacity RICHI cleaner machine has also been added to the process equipment. The drum cleaner is a cleaning and grading machine with screen drums that rotate in a planetary movement and gently rub and polish each individual grain, which significantly reduces the content of fungi, bacteria and mycotoxins.

Why Customer choose RICHI MACHINERY?

“We have chosen RICHI MACHINERY because their products are of high quality, which means that I can produce without break-downs. This will allow me to plan the productions and deliveries. We have seen the products at another feed factory – A full automatic cattle feed plant – and we realized that high-quality machinery is the key to increased production efficiency”, says Mr. Florin, managing director and owner of the 10t/h poultry feed mill in USA.

“Food safety, animal health and efficient production are of immense importance to us, and we were particularly impressed with the RICHI cleaner and its stunning results. Another reason for choosing RICHI was their long presence in USA, and it has undertaken many projects in the U.S. During the project negotiation, we visited 5 feed mill projects.”, Mr Florin concludes.
