Somalia 5-6T/H Best Price Animal Livestock Feed Plant Project

In early March 2023, he sent an inquiry email through the official website of RICHI MACHINERY, and the content was concise and direct:

"Hi, we are planning a 5-6t/h livestock feed plant in Somalia. Can you offer an economic solution with stable performance? We prefer simple layout and need remote installation help."

This message immediately established contact between the RICHI sales and technical teams, and it took one and a half months to complete the entire process from solution customization, equipment confirmation to the final contract signing. On May 20, 2023, the project contract was signed, and the customer finally chose a set of 5-6T/H animal livestock feed plant in Somalia solution with high cost performance and easy maintenance at a price of only US$118,000.

Local raw material resources: possibilities in barrenness

The natural conditions in Somalia determine that it cannot completely copy the feed formula of other countries, but this does not mean that there is a shortage of raw materials. The customer of this animal livestock feed plant in Somalia project made it clear to RICHI that he hoped to use materials that can be obtained locally as the main materials to reduce dependence on imports.

Through the docking of the technical teams of both parties and the analysis of samples, the following are determined as the main sources of compatible raw materials:

• Sorghum powder: widely grown locally, replacing corn as an energy source, and is the core basis of the formula;
• Sesame meal: a byproduct of oil extraction from southern Somalia, with a high protein content;
• Camel grass powder (Cenchrus ciliaris): a natural forage resource, crushed as a source of crude fiber;
• Soybean meal: imported on a small scale from the Djibouti port to supplement high-quality protein;
• Sea salt and bone meal: provided by local suppliers, which are beneficial to the bone development of ruminants;
• Mineral premix: purchased through Dubai distributors to maintain trace element requirements.

The customer had already stockpiled three different formulas before production: beef cattle fattening type, goat maintenance type, and calf weaning special formula.

Tailor-made process route: stable, energy-saving, and simple maintenance

In response to the customer's clear demand for "economical and practical + remote installation + high discharge efficiency", RICHI engineers designed the following whole-line solution, focusing on strengthening the adaptability of raw materials, simplifying the operation process of workers, and using diesel generators for independent operation:

Livestock animal feed production line process:

Raw material reception → cleaning and impurity removal → crushing → batching → mixing → conditioning → granulation → cooling → screening → packaging

1. The crushing section uses SFSP66×60 hammer mill, and the blade is specially adjusted to adapt to camel grass fiber raw materials. The speed can be adjusted to avoid blockage;
2. The batching section is semi-automatic manual metering, which is convenient for flexible switching according to different formulas;
3. The mixing section uses SLHY2.5 double-axis high-efficiency mixer, which has large volume and high mixing uniformity. The mixing time for each batch of 2.5 tons does not exceed 120 seconds;
4. The conditioning section uses a single-axis steam conditioner, but a dry steam compatible interface is added in the design, To adapt to the customer's later upgrade to full wet conditioning;
5. The core of the granulation section is the SZLH420 ring die granulator, with a die hole configuration of 6mm, suitable for camels, cattle and sheep;
6. The cooling section is equipped with a SKLN20×20 countercurrent cooler, and natural wind + centrifugal fan auxiliary cooling;
7. The final granules enter the SFJH110×2C rotary grading screen to screen out overlong or damaged granules;
8. The discharge is quantitatively packaged by the DCS-50 automatic packaging machine, which supports fast switching between 25kg and 50kg.

The entire animal livestock feed plant in Somalia is coordinated and operated by the PLC main control system, equipped with a touch screen operation interface. The RICHI team teaches customers the installation, debugging and operation procedures through remote video.

One-line multi-purpose: flexibility brings more market possibilities

Although the animal livestock feed plant in Somalia project is positioned for livestock pellet feed (cattle, sheep, camels), the core equipment of the line is highly versatile and modularly expandable. It only needs to replace the die and adjust the formula to produce the following products:

• Compound pellet feed for poultry such as chickens and ducks;
• Growing pellet diet for camels (coarse fiber + high energy combination);
• Short-fiber horse feed pellets;
• Weaning compound feed for cubs;
• Powdered feed (just turn off the pelleting section);
• Organic fertilizer pellets (such as adding animal manure to the adapted formula)

The customer mentioned in the later feedback: "We only planned to use it ourselves at first, but we didn't expect that the neighboring ranch would see it and place an order. We are now considering whether to add a livestock feed pellet machine to expand production."

Equipment configuration for animal livestock feed plant in Somalia

The power of the whole livestock feed production line is controlled within 210kW, compatible with three-phase mains and generator dual-mode operation, energy-saving and efficient, and adapted to the actual power supply situation in Somalia.

Somalia's animal husbandry: a window of opportunity is opening

Although Somalia still faces challenges, its animal husbandry potential is well-known in Africa. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the country has about 60 million livestock and is one of the largest livestock reserves in East Africa.

However, the problem is that the country's feed processing industry is almost blank, and the traditional feeding method that has long relied on imports and relies mainly on forage cannot meet the current development needs of export-oriented breeding.

The completion of this animal livestock feed plant in Somalia project is regarded by many local breeding cooperatives as a "signal of the beginning of modern agriculture" and has triggered the following trends:

• From "selling livestock" to "selling weight": high-quality feed improves the breeding cycle and output weight;
• Small cooperatives and feed mills are beginning to emerge in joint ventures;
• Many local NGOs are promoting the "nutritional pellet promotion" plan to alleviate the malnutrition of young livestock;
• International investors such as the UAE and Turkish companies are accelerating the layout of Somali meat processing, and feed will be its front-end industry support.

All this shows that, as the customer said, "owning a feed mill is like owning a key to the stable development of agriculture."

Sowing the seeds of hope in Somalia

A 5-6 t/h animal livestock feed plant in Somalia may not change the entire agricultural landscape of Somalia immediately, but it can change the fate of a family, the supply capacity of a community, and even pry open a new industrial path.

Today, RICHI is quietly sowing the seeds of change in various agricultural "hotspots" around the world through pellet production lines that are practical, adaptable to local conditions, and easy to deliver.

And you are just one decision away.
