Uzbekistan 3-5T/H Good Quality Poultry Feed Plant

Project Background: Agribusiness Integration for Sustainable Growth

This Uzbekistan 3-5t/h good quality poultry feed plant project officially took shape in early 2019, when the customer approached RICHI Machinery seeking a customized solution to set up a 3-5 tons per hour poultry feed processing plant. Located in the agriculturally rich region of Urgench, Uzbekistan, the site already had access to key raw materials like corn, wheat bran, soybean meal, and sunflower cake, most of which were locally sourced. The client was determined to leverage this advantage to process high-quality, cost-effective poultry feed.

Initially, the customer was concerned about the complexity and cost of setting up such a poultry feed production line. However, through in-depth communication and technical discussions with the RICHI team, he realized that a highly automated, scalable feed plant could be developed within a reasonable investment range. The turnkey solution provided by RICHI, priced USD 78,000 depending on configuration, included not just equipment but also layout design, installation guidance, and personnel training.

Local Raw Materials: Leveraging Uzbekistan's Agricultural Strengths

Uzbekistan's climate and land resources are highly favorable for growing cereals and oilseeds. This Uzbekistan 3-5t/h good quality poultry feed plant project utilizes a mix of local and regionally sourced ingredients such as:

• Corn (maize): Main energy source, abundant locally
• Wheat bran: By-product of flour milling, inexpensive and rich in fiber
• Soybean meal: Sourced from domestic crushers or imported from Kazakhstan
• Sunflower meal/cake: High-protein residue from domestic oil extraction
• Fish meal: Imported in small quantities for breeder diets
• Limestone, salt, premixes, vitamins and mineral additives

The client also explored incorporating small proportions of alfalfa powder and sesame meal to enrich layer feed formulations naturally, reflecting growing consumer demand for "clean" poultry products.

Process Technology: Optimized for Versatility and Feed Quality

RICHI Machinery proposed a classic yet robust feed production process that ensures maximum nutritional integrity, energy efficiency, and operational safety. Given the client's raw material characteristics—mostly mid-oil and mid-fiber—the Uzbekistan 3-5t/h good quality poultry feed plant was engineered accordingly:

1. Receiving and Pre-cleaning: Raw materials arrive in bulk and bags, and are cleaned of dust, stones, and impurities through vibrating screens and magnetic separators.
2. Grinding: The 37KW feed grinder (RICHI SFSP series) crushes grains and cake materials down to 2-3mm particles, depending on formula.
3. Batch Mixing: The SLHS double-shaft paddle mixer (CV ≤ 5%) enables uniform mixing within 180 seconds, allowing addition of both dry powders and liquid oils or enzymes.
4. Pelleting: Using the SZLH350 poultry feed pellet machine (55KW main motor), pellets of 2-4mm are produced. This model supports stepless feeding adjustment and includes an optional conditioning chamber for improving pellet durability and digestibility.
5. Cooling: The SKLN series counterflow cooler ensures pellets are cooled from 75-85°C to room temperature, preventing moisture retention.
6. Crumbing (optional): For broiler starter feed, pellets are reduced to smaller size using SSLG15×150 crumbler.
7. Screening & Bagging: Vibrating screen separates fines for reprocessing. Finished feed is packed in 25kg or 50kg bags by the automatic bagging machine with weighing precision up to ±0.2%.

Dual Production Capability: Not Just Poultry Feed

While the main focus of this Uzbekistan 3-5t/h good quality poultry feed plant project is broiler and layer feed production, the poultry chicken feed production line was designed with flexibility in mind. By adjusting formulas and minor configurations, it can also produce:

• Duck and turkey feed
• Small ruminant feed (lamb starter)
• Rabbit feed
• Mash feed (by bypassing the pelleting stage)
• Crumb feed for chicks

This multi-purpose functionality offers significant benefits to the customer, enabling better risk management and market responsiveness.

Main Equipment Configuration in This Uzbekistan 3-5t/h good quality poultry feed plant Project

• SFSP Series Feed Hammer Mill – 37KW
• SLHS Double Shaft Mixer – 1000kg/batch
• SZLH350 Animal Feed Pellet Machine – 55KW main motor
• SKLN Counterflow Cooler – Model 11*11
• SSLG15×150 Pellet Crumbler – Dual Roller
• Vibrating Screener
• Bucket Elevator and Conveying Systems
• Automatic Bagging Machine – 6-8 bags/min
• Control System – RICHI Smart Automation
• Dust Removal and Safety Devices – Explosion relief vents and filters

The entire chicken feed factory system operates at a main power load of approximately 120KW and was installed in a compact building of dimensions 19m(L)*7m(W)*8m(H).

Market Outlook: Poultry Feed Manufacturing in Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan has one of the most promising poultry sectors in Central Asia. The government's national food security initiative and investment incentives in agriculture have created favorable conditions for poultry expansion. In recent years, demand for chicken meat and eggs has grown by more than 6% annually.

However, over 60% of feed used in smaller farms is still sourced from external suppliers, with inconsistent quality and rising prices. By localizing feed production, our client gains significant cost advantage, better inventory control, and stronger marketing positioning based on feed traceability.

Moreover, there is room for expansion. With minor upgrades, this Uzbekistan 3-5t/h good quality poultry feed plant can be scaled to 6T/H or integrated with silos and micro-dosing systems for commercial pre-mix production.

Project Timeline and Implementation

The Uzbekistan 3-5t/h good quality poultry feed plant project journey started with an inquiry submitted to RICHI Machinery on December 17, 2018. The client requested a 3-5T/H poultry feed production line suitable for Urgench region, and also wanted flexibility to adapt the feed line for turkey and duck feed in the future.

After thorough communication, site evaluation, and design adjustments, both parties signed the contract in May 2019. Manufacturing and shipping took place over the summer, and installation began in October 2019, supervised by RICHI engineers on-site. By December 2019, the plant was operational.

The total investment of this turnkey solution, including machinery, automation system, installation guidance, and operator training, was approximately USD 78,000.

Full-Service Support From RICHI Machinery

RICHI's commitment to service was a decisive factor in the customer's final decision. Beyond providing animal feed machines, our team offered complete technical drawings, 3D layout, foundation plans, and electrical schematics. During installation, one senior engineer and one technician were sent to Urgench for 28 days to supervise equipment assembly, wiring, and trial runs.

After commissioning, we conducted a 5-day intensive training for local operators, covering operation safety, maintenance, and emergency troubleshooting. Our after-sales team continues to offer remote diagnostics and annual equipment audits.

Local Engagement: Training and Impact

An innovative aspect of this Uzbekistan 3-5t/h good quality poultry feed plant project is its collaboration with a local vocational college in Urgench. The feed plant regularly invites agriculture students for tours and internships, helping develop local talent in feed manufacturing and agri-engineering.

Additionally, by sourcing 70% of raw materials locally and creating over 15 direct jobs, this project has contributed positively to regional rural development.

From Inquiry to Impact, A Model for Feed Industry Growth

The Uzbekistan 3-5t/h good quality poultry feed plant project exemplifies how small-to-medium investors in emerging markets can unlock new value chains through localized feed production. By partnering with RICHI Machinery, the client not only built a robust, efficient, and versatile feed line but also established a foundation for sustainable agribusiness growth.

This animal feed pellet production line project stands as a testament to what can be achieved through vision, planning, and the right technical partnership. For anyone in Central Asia considering a poultry feed plant, this case offers inspiration—and a proven roadmap to follow.
