Public works

Water supply and drainage

Water supply:

The water for this 16-20t/h animal feed mill in UAE project is provided by the local water supply pipe network. Production water and domestic water are used. The fresh water consumption is 21.75m3/d.

• Boiler water: Boiler water is processed by the soft water preparation system, of which 15% is generated by the soft water preparation system.
• Concentrated brine, 70% is required for the production and aging process, and the remaining 15% is the loss caused by the boiler operation process.
• Domestic water: The factory area of this project is equipped with dormitories and canteens. The labor capacity is 35 people and the annual working day is 300 days.
• According to the local water standard budget, fresh water consumption is budgeted at 50L/person·d. After the project is put into operation, the domestic water consumption of employees will be approximately 1.75m³/d.

Drainage:

The wastewater generated during the production process of this 16-20t/h animal feed mill in UAE project is concentrated brine produced by the soft water preparation system, with a production volume of 3 m³/d.

The concentrated brine produced by the soft water preparation system is used for dust suppression; the amount of wastewater is calculated as 80% of the water consumption, and the amount of domestic wastewater is 1.4m³/d, which includes drinking water. The drinking water is treated in the grease trap and then discharged into the septic tank, which is regularly cleaned and used as agricultural fertilizer.

Power supply

The electricity for this 16-20t/h animal feed mill in UAE project is provided by Local Power Supply. One set of transformers is installed in the factory, with a power of 1000 kVA. The annual electricity consumption is 1,924,240 kW·h, which can meet the project’s electricity needs.

Heating

The poultry livestock feed production line project's production heat is planned to be heated by steam; a 2t/h gas boiler will be installed, with an annual natural gas consumption of 480,000 Nm3; the canteen will use natural gas, with an annual natural gas consumption of 945m3. The shared natural gas is 480,900 m3/a, which can meet the gas supply and heat needs of the project.

Process design of 16-20t/h animal feed mill in UAE

This 16-20t/h animal feed mill in UAE project includes two production lines, each with the same production process. The project purchases raw and auxiliary materials such as corn, soybean meal, and wine troughs, and processes them into finished products through crushing, stirring, mixing, aging, granulation, cooling, and packaging.

The specific animal feed production process is introduced as follows:

1. Raw material receiving process
   Equipment: Silo
   Process design: The purchased raw material corn is transported to the unloading shed of the factory area, and the materials are transferred to the silo for storage by the elevator. Other raw materials are stored in the raw material warehouse.
2. Raw material cleaning process
   Equipment: hopper and fence, cylindrical primary cleaning screen, conical primary cleaning screen, permanent magnet drum, etc.
   Process design: Since the purchased corn, soybean meal and other raw materials contain impurities, the powder sieve needs to be cleaned. The purchased raw and auxiliary materials are put into the feeding hopper, and then lifted to the feeding port via the conveyor, and then screened by the primary cleaning screen, and then enter the powder waiting bin.
3. Crushing process
   Equipment: bin to be crushed, impeller feeder, pulverizer, etc.
   Process design: Corn, soybean meal and other materials to be crushed in the bin enter the crusher for crushing through the upper and lower material levelers and impeller feeders. They are crushed to a qualified particle size and are lifted to the batching bin by the conveyor.
4. Mixing process
   Equipment: batching warehouse group, upper material level device, lower material level device, large batching scale, small batching scale, mixing buffer hopper, double-shaft paddle type high-efficiency mixer, etc.
   Process: The crushed materials are fed into the double-shaft paddle-type high-efficiency mixer through the upper material leveler and the lower material leveler. During the mixing process, the materials will produce mixed exhaust gas.
5. Conditioning process
   Equipment: Conditioner
   Process design: The mixed materials are matured through boiler steam in the conditioner, and the aging time is 180s. The mixed materials are matured by steam heating.
6. Granulation and cooling process
   Equipment: silo to be granulated, animal livestock poultry feed pellet machine, air hammer, buffer bucket, crusher, counterflow-cooler, etc.
   Process design: Transport the matured material to the silo to be granulated, then squeeze it into cake shape through an air hammer, and then transport the material to the animal feed granulator for granulation through the upper and lower material levelers. Because the material is wet, no waste gas will be produced during granulation. After the pelleting process is completed, the pellets are transported to the cooler for cooling. The cooled feed pellets enter the "fool" type rotary classification screen for screening, and qualified products enter the finished product warehouse to be packaged. Unqualified products are sent to the crusher feeder by the conveyor, enter the crusher for crushing, return to the granulation bin, and then are granulated again.
7. Packaging process
   Equipment: belt conveyor sewing machine
   Process design: The materials in the finished product warehouse are transported to the belt conveyor sewing machine through the upper and lower material levelers for packaging processing.
8. Others
   The steam for the aging process of the project is provided by a 2t/h gas boiler. The fuel of this boiler is pipeline natural gas and adopts low-nitrogen combustion technology.YouTube

Prospects for building a 16-20 t/h animal feed mill in UAE

United Arab Emirates has reportedly relied more on imports to meet its growing demand in Animal Feed Market.

Now, the mollification of high prices in global grain markets is reviving plans to expand UAE poultry and dairy production, supporting higher corn and barley consumption and imports.

United Arab Emirates (UAE) Animal Feed Market is anticipated to project substantial growth during the forthcoming period owing to the increasing imports of grain and feed. Rise in disposable income backed by improvement in standard of living has led to the shift towards high nutritional value food further leading to the United Arab Emirates Animal Feed Market Growth. Additionally, increasing consumption of milk, meat and animal-based products beholds the development of the Animal Feed Market in United Arab Emirates.

According to research, United Arab Emirates (UAE) Animal Feed Market size is projected to register growth during 2020-2026. Rising health consciousness and increasing adoption of vegan diet is boosting the growth of the market. Increasing concentration towards the livestock health is adding to the UAE Animal Feed Market Share.

On the basis of Species, the poultry segment accounted for the highest share in UAE Animal Feed Market Revenue and is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period as well.

There is a demand for feed, which means there is a need for feed processing. If you want to start an 16-20t/h animal feed mill in UAE, feel free to contact Richi Machinery for professional feed farm construction solutions and technical support!
