16T/H Chicken Feed Manufacturing Plant

With the improvement of people's living standards, chicken as a healthy high-quality protein is being recognized and accepted by consumers, and the consumption demand is strong and growing strongly. It is the second largest meat consumption product after pork.

In this context, the customer has its own chicken farm. In order to cooperate with the chicken breeding project, the customer company invested 2 million US dollars to build a feed production project. After the project is completed, it can form a production scale of 16t/h pellet feed for broiler breeders (Annual output 50,000 tons).

• Nature of construction: newly built
• Occupied area: 13333m²
• Number of employees: 20 employees in this project. Canteens, dormitories, and bathrooms are provided in the factory area.
• Work system: 310 working days a year, one shift, 10 hours per shift.
• Pellet feed production scale (tons/year): 50,000
• Project period: Since this project uses a vacant factory building, the scale of civil construction is small, and the construction mainly involves installation of production equipment, so the project period is relatively short. The preliminary preparation stage is 1 month, and the construction period is 3 months. The project started in July 2020 and will be put into production in December 2020.

Main construction:

Production workshop: 16x20m2, 1-6 floors of the workshop; (2 raw material receiving systems, 2 crushing and mixing granulation systems, 2 finished packaging systems)

• Comprehensive building: 48x16m², 4 floors;
• Annex 1: 54x12m², 1st floor;
• Annex 2: 12x24m², 1st floor;
• Guard room: 9x5m², 1st floor.

Storage and transportation construction:

• Raw material workshop: 46x36m², 1st floor;
• Finished workshop: 46x16m², 1 floor.

• Water (ton/year): 3000
• Electricity (kWh/year): 800,000
• Steam (ton/year): 3000

01

Crushed into warehouse:

In this period, the corn, soybean meal, wheat, and bran in the feed tank are transported to the first floor of the production workshop through the buried scraper conveyor, and the impurity is removed through the cylinder initial cleaning (removing small particles of gravel mixed in the raw materials, soil granules and other debris, etc.), and then re-screened through the granule hopper and fence, and finally the crushed granules are put into the warehouse through the material-sealed screw conveyor;

02

Ingredients:

The crushed corn, soybean meal, wheat and bran in the storage bin are transported to the 5th floor of the production workshop through the bucket elevator, enter the buffer hopper from the upper material level device, and go to the 2nd floor of the production workshop from the lower material level device of the buffer hopper.

The impeller feeder is used for batching according to the ratio of 30:8:2:1 (corn: soybean meal: wheat: bran), and it is pulverized again by the ultrafine pulverizer.

(You read that right, the customer chose a superfine pulverizer instead of a general feed hammer mill. Based on the customer's special process, raw materials and formula, he has higher requirements for the pulverization particle size of raw materials.)

03

Mixing:

The crushed materials are transported to the settling chamber on the 6th floor of the production workshop through the bucket elevator, and then transported to the rotary distributor on the 3rd floor of the production workshop to rotate and mix the materials in the settling chamber.

04

Granulation:

The mixed pellets are conveyed to the mixer on the 6th floor of the production workshop through the bucket elevator, and steam is introduced into the mixer to start pelleting with animal feed pellet machine, and the pelleted broiler breeders are transported to the packaging line with pelleted feed.

The steam in this 16t/h chicken feed manufacturing plant project is used in the granulation process in the chicken feed production process to sterilize the feed granules, make the feed granules easier to form and make the granules fuller. During the use of steam, most of the steam condenses on the granulation equipment and evaporates naturally, and a small part of the steam is discharged along with it. The gas cylinder is discharged.
