Algeria 10-15T/H Poultry Feed Mill With 4*350T Silos System Project

Project Origin: From the pain points of farming to independent formula control

The client behind this poultry feed mill in Algeria project is a poultry farming group that has been operating in northwest Algeria for many years and has a certain influence in the local market. For a long time, they have relied on purchasing poultry feed from outside, but they face many challenges: feed prices fluctuate greatly, quality is unstable, and supply cycles cannot be guaranteed. Especially in the context of rising epidemic risks and restricted logistics, companies realize that they must take the lead in feed production.

After repeatedly investigating domestic and foreign suppliers, the customer contacted China's Richi Machinery in mid-2020 and expressed a strong desire to build its own feed processing plant.

The project was finally finalized in August of the same year, and it was decided to build a fully automatic poultry chicken feed production line with a daily output of 240 tons and an hourly output of 10-15 tons, and to build 4 raw material silo systems with a capacity of 350 tons each for raw grain storage and allocation.

Raw material structure: synergistic integration of local resources and precise formulas

Although Algeria is located in the arid zone of North Africa, its agricultural foundation is relatively solid and has a certain degree of food self-sufficiency. The main feed raw materials required for this poultry feed mill in Algeria project come from local agricultural resources and international imports:

• Corn: As the main source of energy, due to the large local planting area, customers can purchase it from surrounding farms for a long time.
• Wheat bran and husk: As fiber supplements, they are cheap and easy to obtain.
• Soybean meal: Mainly imported to supplement protein needs, it is an indispensable core ingredient in broiler formulas.
• Calcium hydrogen phosphate, premix, mineral additives: Regularly delivered by professional additive suppliers to ensure the scientific nature of the formula.
• Vegetable oil and liquid additives: Used to adjust feed energy density and improve palatability.

Combined with the characteristics of Algeria's dry climate, the customer pays special attention to moisture-proof storage and screening and grading of raw materials, and the supporting silo system provides a solution for this.

Process configuration: Complete feed production line closed loop from pre-cleaning to packaging

In terms of technical solutions, the poultry feed mill in Algeria project uses the automated pellet feed processing system provided by Richi Machinery, combined with the main raw material characteristics of the customer (high powder ratio, high oil content, high particle precision requirements), to design a rigorous and efficient process flow:

1. The first step is raw material cleaning and pretreatment, including SCY63 drum primary cleaning screen to screen out large particle impurities, TCXT20 permanent magnetic cylinder to remove metal debris, and to protect subsequent mechanical equipment to the greatest extent.
2. Next, we enter the crushing stage, using the SFSP66*60 hammer mill, which can achieve efficient crushing of medium-hardness raw materials such as corn and wheat by-products. The crushed materials are sent to the batching section through the air-locked screw conveyor TLSS20.
3. The batching and mixing system is the core of the entire process. The project uses the PLC0.5A electronic weighing batching system and the SLHJ1A double-shaft high-efficiency mixer. This system has the ability to accurately measure a variety of materials and can meet the switching needs of customers' various broiler formulas. With the PLC0.1B small material weighing system, trace elements and additives can be accurately added at the gram level to ensure nutritional balance.
4. The mixed materials will be sent to the SZLH420 ring die poultry feed pellet machine by the TFPX6 rotary distributor for pelleting. This model is particularly suitable for medium-capacity chicken feed processing, and can stably produce 4mm diameter particles, which is suitable for the mid-to-late broiler growth stage.
5. After pelleting, the high-temperature and high-humidity pellets are cooled to room temperature by the SKLN17x17 countercurrent cooler, and then further broken by the SSLG15*100 pelletizer to meet the feeding needs of poultry of different sizes.
6. Finally, the powder and oversized pellets are screened out by the SFJZ100*2C grading and screening machine, and the DCS-50 automatic packaging machine system completes the quantitative packaging and sends them to the finished product warehouse or loads them for shipment.

The entire animal feed production line, from raw materials to finished product packaging, is fully automated and uniformly dispatched by the central control system, which greatly reduces the human error rate and operation intensity.

Product use positioning: dual-track strategy of self-use as the main and external sales as the auxiliary

The poultry feed mill in Algeria mainly produces 4mm poultry pellet feed. Based on the customer's current large broiler breeding bases in western Algeria, most of the initial production capacity will serve its own breeding needs.

However, in the future development plan, the customer hopes to gradually establish a regional brand by steadily supplying surrounding small and medium-sized breeders, forming a closed-loop feed system of "self-production and self-sales + regional distribution". Especially in the context of the continued growth of poultry meat consumption in Algeria, standardized high-quality feed has great market competitive potential.

Equipment highlights: Double breakthrough in performance and durability

It is worth mentioning that the equipment selection of this poultry feed mill in Algeria project adheres to the principle of "giving equal importance to performance and durability", and all adopts Richi's latest generation of production equipment. The following poultry chicken feed making machines are particularly worthy of attention:

• SZLH450 animal feed pellet machine: one of the core equipment, with high yield, low noise, low failure rate and other characteristics, is the industry mainstream configuration of 10-15t/h level pelletizing line;
• SLHJ1A mixer: mixing uniformity reaches ≥95%, while ensuring quality and improving production speed;
• SKLN17x17 cooler: compact structure, high efficiency, reduce the moisture content of pellets to ≤13%, and extend storage time;
• DCS-50 automatic packaging system: equipped with sewing bag and belt conveyor function, one person can manage multiple packaging ports at the same time, significantly improving the efficiency of the back-end discharge.

In response to the problem of lack of experienced installation teams in Algeria, Richi specially dispatched experienced engineers from China to the site to work with local employees of the customer to ensure the successful installation and commissioning of the equipment at one time, and to provide guarantees for the poultry feed mill in Algeria project to be put into production on schedule.

Trends and prospects of the poultry feed industry in Algeria

In recent years, the Algerian government has vigorously promoted the localization of the agricultural industry chain, especially in the field of poultry meat, accelerating policy support and promoting the construction of standardized breeding areas. Since poultry meat is one of the main sources of animal protein for residents in the country, the demand for broiler feed is increasing at a rate of 5-8% per year.

However, the current Algerian feed market is still dominated by small, decentralized, and manually operated factories with low degree of formula standardization and poor production capacity stability, which makes it difficult to meet the nutritional needs of large-scale breeding. In this context, a modern poultry feed factory with a production capacity of 10-15t/h, high automation, and strong system traceability like this poultry feed mill in Algeria project will undoubtedly become a benchmark for the new generation of feed industry.

At the same time, the silo system supporting the project also plays a strategic role in raw material reserves: on the one hand, it can smooth out the risk of seasonal price fluctuations, and on the other hand, it can provide stable support for the multi-formulation and multi-batch production mode, enhancing customers' ability to respond to market changes.

Conclusion: From a production line to a new industry coordinate

The successful implementation of the 10-15t/h animal feed factory project not only reflects the customer's firm determination to transform agricultural industrialization, but also reflects the key role of Made in China in the upgrading of African agricultural technology.

Since the poultry feed mill in Algeria project was signed in August 2020, it has been running stably for several years. It not only meets the customer's internal breeding needs, but also gradually expands its influence in the surrounding areas, providing a solid foundation for building a stable feed supply system in North Africa.

It can be foreseen that in the future when the agricultural industry chain in Algeria and even the entire Africa is becoming more and more perfect, such feed factories will no longer be isolated cases, but will represent the basic form of high-quality development of African agriculture in the next stage.

In the future, Richi Machinery will continue to provide systematic, intelligent and sustainable feed engineering solutions to more regions, helping global agricultural development enter a new era.
