New Zealand 3-5T/H Animal Feed Plant Project For Chicken Feed Production

Raw material selection combined with local resources

New Zealand has abundant raw materials for poultry feed. The customer fully utilizes local advantages in the design of the animal chicken feed plant in New Zealand, and reasonably configures imported auxiliary materials to ensure stable feed quality and excellent cost performance.

The main raw materials include:

• Corn granules: As the main source of feed energy, New Zealand and surrounding Australia can stably supply high-quality corn;
• Soybean meal: High protein content, providing essential amino acids for poultry. New Zealand relies on imports but has smooth supply channels;
• Wheat bran: Improve feed structure, increase fiber content, and improve intestinal health;
• Fish meal: Enhance feed protein quality and promote poultry growth. As a major seafood country, New Zealand has sufficient fish meal resources;
• Mineral and vitamin premixes: Ensure balanced nutrition and promote healthy growth.

The customer particularly emphasizes the strict restrictions on antibiotics and hormones in feed, which is in line with New Zealand's high standards for food safety supervision and reflects the concept of green and healthy feed.

Process flow and technical features

In response to customer needs and raw material characteristics, RICHI has designed a scientific, flexible and efficient production process for this animal chicken feed plant in New Zealand project, taking into account both product quality and production capacity.

The production process includes: raw material crushing → ingredient mixing → conditioning → granulation → cooling → screening → packaging.

1. Crushing: Use a high-efficiency hammer crusher to crush corn and other coarse materials to a particle size suitable for particle forming. This link takes into account the hardness and humidity fluctuations of corn. The equipment is wear-resistant and durable to ensure continuous and stable production.
2. Ingredient mixing: Using a double-shaft mixer, solids, liquids and trace additives can be evenly mixed. The mixing time is short and the uniformity is high, ensuring accurate feed formula and consistent feed quality.
3. Conditioning and heating: The mixture is heated by a steam conditioner to improve the cohesiveness of the raw materials, enhance the density and hardness of the particle forming, and is particularly suitable for promoting poultry digestion and absorption.
4. Pellet making: Use RICHI high-efficiency ring die poultry feed pellet machine, which has a multi-stage adjustable particle size function (commonly used 3-6mm) to meet the needs of different poultry breeds and growth stages. The equipment has a stable transmission system, low energy consumption, low operating noise, and is easy to manage the factory.
5. Cooling and screening: Use countercurrent coolers to quickly cool the pellets to prevent deformation and mold, and use vibrating screens to remove dust and fine particles to ensure product purity.
6. Automatic packaging: The equipment supports automatic metering and packaging of multi-specification bags, improves production efficiency and packaging accuracy, and meets the different needs of retail and bulk customers.

The overall process design combines New Zealand's humid climate and environmental protection requirements, fully considers the moisture-proof and anti-corrosion functions of the equipment, and ensures the stability and efficiency of the production line.

Product diversification processing capabilities

This animal chicken feed plant in New Zealand can not only produce standard broiler and laying hen pellet feeds, but also has good product diversification and scalability. Customers can flexibly adjust the formula and equipment parameters according to market demand to produce the following types of feed:

• Suitable for feeds in different growth stages of various types of poultry (brooding period, rearing period, laying period);
• Special functional feeds, such as calcium fortification, prebiotics and other healthy formulas;
• Special feeds for other small poultry such as turkeys, ducks, and geese;
• Partial pellet feeds for non-poultry animals, such as rabbit feed.

This diversified processing capability enables customers to have stronger competitiveness in future market changes, expand sales channels, and enhance the company's risk resistance.

Analysis of the market prospects of poultry feed in New Zealand

New Zealand's export-oriented animal husbandry system is increasingly dependent on high-quality poultry feed. The export market of poultry products is stable, which promotes the upgrading of the local feed industry. As consumers' health awareness increases, the demand for green and pollution-free feed is gradually expanding.

The New Zealand government has strict regulations on agricultural environmental protection, promoting the green transformation of the breeding industry and the development of a circular economy. The customer's poultry feed production line project achieves low energy consumption, low pollution and efficient production through scientific formulas and advanced equipment, which is in line with policy guidance.

In addition, with the strengthening of trade exchanges in the Greater Bay Area and the South Pacific region, New Zealand's local high-quality poultry feed has good export potential. The project has a steady return on investment and a promising market in the future.

Project implementation process and RICHI's all-round service guarantee

The customer consulted RICHI for the first time in May 2022 to communicate in detail the production capacity requirements and raw material characteristics. After several rounds of program optimization, the two parties signed a contract in August 2022, with a total investment of approximately US$180,000.

The equipment manufacturing and transportation took about 90 days, and the equipment arrived in New Zealand in early 2023. RICHI dispatched a professional technical team to assist customers in completing the installation and commissioning of the chicken feed production line and provided operation training, which took 50 days. The training content covers equipment maintenance, operating procedures, quality control and safety management to ensure that customers can operate independently and stably.

After the animal chicken feed plant in New Zealand project is put into production, RICHI provides continuous technical support and after-sales service, responds quickly to customer needs, and helps customers maximize production benefits.
