2-3T/H Organic Chicken Feed Plant in Germany

Gerhard never ceases to be proactive and to invest in projects that are dear to him: Offering high quality and local products, and improving the existing to always be efficient and adapting to local demand.

Gerhard has invested in obtaining quality products.

Efficient chicken feed plant in Germany——From manual to automated manufacturing

According to Gerhard: "When we started organic farming in 2010, we bought the feed because we were in integration. We had completely irregular productions with increases and decreases in egg-laying. The hens were being selective with the feed. We even experienced a drop of 100,000 eggs!"

Then we created our own manual dosing feed mill with circuit tipper. "The manual handling required a full-time employee and we were not very accurate in the dosing." Unloading the trucks was tedious and time-consuming.

In 2020, they opted for a RICHI poultry chicken feed mill equipment: an 2-3t/h horizontal organic chicken feed plant.

Automatic chicken feed plant in Germany ——Save time and effort

The Gerhard carried out the wiring of the installation himself and then a check was carried out by RICHI feed processing technicians.

For the past year, Gerhard and his wife have reduced the working hours on the farm: "We unload the trucks in a few minutes. We have better working comfort. The on-farm chicken feed mill operates 30 minutes every other day. It also depends on when I bring in my trucks. With a truck, we will do 3 weeks."

With on-farm chicken feed production, the grain falling time is recalculated at each manufacturing cycle. "It is these details that interest me, to have perfect feed". Thus, from the cereal field to the sale of their production, Gerhard and his Wifemaster everything from A to Z. The production cost of the feed is 50 €/T.

Perfect chicken feed plant in Germany ——Production is better both in quality and productivity.

"It's been running for one and a half year, and we have noticed a regularity in consumption for the laying hens." In fact, Gerhard customizes the batch ration for the poultry by adjusting the feed as close as possible to their needs whether for broiler or laying poultry. The advantage of on-farm feed production is that "the feed can be modified à la carte". This customization has made it possible "to preserve the liver of the laying hens, which remains red and not foamy/fat as usual.

Similarly, "we earned €15,000 over one year for layers. Previously, at 11 and a half months, we had a lot of downgrades. We were barely getting to 12 months. Today, we can do it easily! ». Thus, they get a better quality of shells and utilize the eggs more easily." Today, we have perfect technical results. The veterinarians come once a year for the mandatory control and they tell us that everything is perfect.”

In addition, "we clean the grain from all impurities by reducing mycotoxins. It is the mastery of our raw material, which is noble, that gives us very efficient rates." We created a platform and installed our grain cleaner on top, which allows us to clean our seeds without dust generation. As the latest project to date, he wants to improve the cleaning and bagging of his crops.

Customized chicken feed pellet production line process design for Gambia customer

The manufacturing process of this organic chicken feed plant in Germany can be divided into several stages. According to the chicken feed raw materials conditions, the chicken feed making process can be added or reduced, we customize the chicken feeds machine and complete chicken feed line for our clients!

Raw Materials Reception and Cleaning Process

The first stage involves receiving and cleaning the raw material such as grain, beans, grass or fish meals used for making pellet feed.

Feed Crushing Process

The raw material for chicken feed is then passed into the corn grinder for chicken feed, where it is ground into a size which is suitable for making broiler feed pellets.

Feed Mixing Process

The crushed chicken fodder materials are then passed through a chicken feed mixer, where different ingredients are added to the chicken feed raw material to ensure that the finished chicken pellet contains all the required nutrients.

Chicken Feed Pelleting Process

The pelletization stage is the most important stage in the organic chicken feed plant in Germany, since the chicken feed powder is converted into pellets of the desired size and shape. Compared to the ring die chicken feed pellet machine, the ring die chicken pellet making machine has various capacities.

Feed Pellets Cooling Process

The chicken feed pellets are produced by chicken feed pelletizer machine at a temperature of 88 degree centigrade and have a moisture level of 17-18%. For cooling, drying and storage, the moisture level should be reduced to 10-12% . Hence the feed pellets are passed through the chicken pellet cooler, where they are cooled to a temperature which is close to room temperature, dried to reduce the moisture levels.

If the processed chicken feed pellets are for sale, we usually also configure a packing section for customers. However, this project did not configure related equipment. The feed for this organic chicken feed plant in Germany project is directly used in the customer's chicken farm, so there is no packaging section.
