Senegal 3-5T/H Professional Design Poultry Feed Pellet Plant Project

Raw material selection: close to the local area, taking into account nutrition and cost

Senegal has a hot and dry climate and concentrated agricultural crops. This poultry feed pellet plant in Senegal project selects economical and high-quality feed raw materials from the surrounding supply chain:

• Corn: the local staple food, QS certified, rich in starch, and the main energy source for feed;
• Wheat and rice husk mixture: rich in fiber, improves digestive health;
• Soybean meal: up to 45% protein, meeting the daily protein needs of chickens;
• Rapeseed meal/peanut meal: widely planted in Senegal, with high utilization rate of residues;
• Premix: vitamins, minerals, immune enhancers, etc., are key formula supplements for feed;
• A small amount of salt, bone meal, calcium phosphate: to ensure trace mineral intake.

These raw materials are in line with the characteristics of farmers in the country, with convenient transportation and stable prices, realizing the construction of a local feed system of "low cost + high nutrition".

Technical route: standardized mixing + environmentally friendly granulation process

RICHI's customized 3-5 tons/hour poultry feed pellet plant in Senegal adopts the standard process of "crushing → mixing → conditioning → granulation → cooling → screening → packaging". The details are as follows:

1. Raw material reception and initial screening: corn, meal, etc. are loaded into the hopper, and a vibrating screen is equipped to remove impurities;
2. Crushing stage: A 30-22kW hammer crusher is used to crush corn kernels to 2-4mm, which is suitable for mixed particle formation;
3. Precise mixing: A 3t double-screw mixer achieves the mixing of raw materials + premixes, salt, and vitamins according to the set ratio;
4. Pre-conditioning pretreatment: A 2.2kW conditioner adds hot steam to increase the moisture content and heat treatment of the raw materials to enhance the bonding degree;
5. Pellet forming: The core is RICHI SZLH320 ring die poultry feed pellet machine (capacity 3-4t/h, main motor 37kW, quenching and tempering 1.5kW, die diameter 320mm), produces 3-4mm chicken pellets;
6. Cooling system: 3kW ventilation cooler reduces temperature and moisture to maintain pellet hardness and is suitable for storage;
7. Screening and return material: 1.5kW vibrating screen removes dust and broken particles to improve the yield; Weighing and packaging: automatic electronic scale + sealing machine, which can support 25 and 50kg moisture-proof bag packaging;
8. Auxiliary system: spiral elevator pipeline transportation, electric control box, PLC system cooperate with on-site maintenance.

The entire poultry feed pellet plant in Senegal adopts 380V/50Hz/3-phase power supply, with a total installed power of about 110kW. The plant area is 9×5×13 meters, the installation period is 30 days, and it can be configured with 5-6 people to operate (1-2 people feeding, 1 quenching and tempering, 1 granulation, 1-2 packaging).

Multi-particle production, strengthening production capacity and product spectrum

Although the poultry feed pellet plant in Senegal focuses on poultry feed pellets (layer chickens & broilers 3-4mm), it can also be flexibly processed under the premise of adjustable feed particle size, formula and mold:

• Meat duck/eating duck feed (3-5mm)
• Pigeon/rare bird feed (2-3mm)
• Young chicken weight gain pellets (4-6mm, can be equipped with SZLH350 mold)
• Rabbit, pig/sheep feed (6-8mm, adjust the ring mold and formula) Livestock composite premix powder;

Furthermore, it also supports roughage pellets (straw, corn stalks, etc.)---SZLH series ring mold + drying and dust removal equipment is required.

This single-line multi-specification feature can help customers expand high-value-added markets such as white-striped chicken feed and pet/exotic pet feed, and enhance R&D competitive flexibility.

Core equipment configuration: grade matching cost budget

According to the RICHI array, the poultry feed pellet plant in Senegal project uses the following main equipment (including model/parameter/capacity/motor, etc.):

• SZLH320 ring die animal feed pellet machine: capacity 3-4t/h, main engine 37kW, inlet conditioning 1.5kW, mold diameter 320mm;
• 30kW hammer mill: suitable for basic raw materials such as corn and wheat;
• Feed mixer: ensure nutritional uniformity;
• Conditioner (2.2kW): supports steam entry to make the ratio blend;
• Ventilation cooler (3kW) + **vibrating screen (1.5kW)** ensure the quality of the finished product;
• Automatic packaging scale is suitable for 50kg bag packaging;
• Electric control cabinet, PLC system: real-time monitoring (temperature and humidity, wind speed, output);
• Auxiliary equipment such as spiral conveyor and elevator.

This configuration of poultry feed pellet plant in Senegal meets the design capacity of 3-5t/h, and the overall investment is US$85,000-95,000 (including equipment, installation and commissioning, and training). It can be upgraded to a higher-yield SZLH350 (5–7t/h) or SZLH420 (8–12t/h) later.

Equipment installation and commissioning: Professional assistance for customers on site

To reduce costs, customers choose to install by themselves. RICHI dispatched two engineers to provide on-site guidance, alternate 24/7 support, and cooperate with the local team for commissioning. RICHI's remote + on-site dual guarantee allows the poultry feed pellet plant in Senegal project to be successfully started within 30 days, with seamless compatibility of 380V/50Hz power supply, and operation training covering 5–6 local employees.

Through this model, customers learn equipment maintenance and formula adjustment, reduce production costs from relying on manufacturers, form an independent research and development system, and lay the foundation for future expansion of the second phase.

Market potential: Blue ocean under the wave of agricultural modernization in Senegal

• Agricultural residents account for about 60% of Senegal's population, and agriculture accounts for about 15% of GDP, with rice, corn and peanuts as the main food and oil;
• As the government promotes the "local feed + green breeding" strategy, poultry breeding and laying hen farms are growing rapidly, and there is a strong demand for stable and nutritious pellet feed;
• Slaughterhouses and chain farms are constantly being established, bringing bulk purchases and long-term contract possibilities to the project;
• Regional feed service providers can be built around the one-stop "brand + processing + sales + transportation";
• Localized raw materials, self-built factories, short supply chains, and low and medium prices give customers cost advantages;
• In the long run, it can be expanded to the markets of aquatic products, ruminant feed, and friendly exporting countries (Guinea, Mali).

Transaction review and customer feedback: the power of truth and trust

• Consultation time: mid-February 2017, the customer submitted the demand through the RICHI official website (https://www.pellet-richi.com/);
• Project signing: March 4, 2017, agreed on a 3-5t/h poultry pellet production line;
