3-4T/H Poultry Feed Mill Plant in Sudan

Local raw material resources: Finding low-cost and high-efficiency supply solutions in difficult situations

Although Sudan is mostly arid, the farming areas are concentrated along the Nile River, with concentrated resources and great potential. The customer took advantage of the geographical advantages of its own farm and many years of agricultural trade connections to plan a feed raw material structure based on the following types of raw materials:

• Corn: It is planted more in the rainy season in the Nile River Basin, rich in energy, and is the basis of broiler feed.
• Cottonseed meal: Sudan is an important cotton producing area, and the byproduct after oil extraction is rich in protein and cheap;
• Sesame meal: Sudan is one of the largest sesame exporters in Africa. Sesame meal is nutritious and easy to purchase locally;
• Peanut meal: It is also an important export crop in Sudan, and there are abundant resources for processing byproducts;
• Leguminous forage powder (such as sweet clover): Some farms produce it themselves and use it as green roughage to supplement fiber;
• Premix additives (minerals, vitamins, salt, lysine, etc.): Purchase or import from domestic sources to meet the balance of the formula.

Through the integration of local resources, customers not only reduce the cost of raw materials, but also create a nutritional formula with local competitiveness.

Detailed explanation of the process flow: a granulation route tailored for local resources

In order to adapt to the characteristics of various plant protein raw materials, the high proportion of impurities, and the unstable power system in Sudan, RICHI engineers made a number of customized adjustments to the technical solution and designed the following complete production process flow for this poultry feed mill plant in Sudan :

Process flow:

Feeding → Preliminary screening and impurity removal → Crushing → Batching → Mixing → Conditioning → Granulation → Cooling → Screening → Packaging → Finished product storage

Analysis of process characteristics:

1. After entering the factory, the raw materials are pre-treated by a vibrating screen + iron removal device to remove impurities such as sand, iron filings, etc. to prevent subsequent equipment wear;
2. High-grain raw materials such as corn, cottonseed meal, and peanut meal enter the hammer The chip crusher controls the particle size between 2-4mm;
3. Different raw materials are accurately measured by the electronic batching system and then enter the double-shaft high-efficiency mixer, where additives and trace elements are fully integrated;
4. The single-layer conditioner is used for heat treatment and moisture adjustment to ensure that the raw materials are softened and easy to form;
5. The core pelletizer uses the SZLH320 ring die animal feed pellet machine, and the particle diameter is customized to 3.5mm, which is suitable for broiler feeding;
6. The formed pellets are cooled to room temperature by the countercurrent cooler, and then enter the rotary grading screen to remove unqualified particles;
7. The finished products are packaged and stored by the automatic weighing and packaging machine, and the bag specifications are 25kg and 50kg, which is convenient for farmers to purchase and transport.

The entire poultry feed mill plant in Sudan has an hourly production capacity of about 3-5 tons, which can meet the customer's current daily materials for about 60,000 chickens and external sales expansion needs.

Expansion potential beyond chicken feed

Although the customer currently mainly processes broiler pellets, this poulry feed production line has good scalability. Under the premise of raw material replacement and ring die size adjustment, it is possible to process in the future:

• Laying hen feed (small particles, higher mineral content)
• Duck and goose pellet feed
• Quail, pigeon and other special poultry feed
• Rabbit feed, goat fattening pellets
• Roughage pellets (with added hay, straw, bran)
• Premixed powder (not formed, only packaged and sold)

This versatility allows customers to flexibly switch production in the later stage to adapt to changes in market demand.

Detailed explanation of the full set of equipment configuration: a cost-effective combination customized for Sudan

In order to ensure that the investment of the poultry feed mill plant in Sudan project is controlled within 100,000 US dollars, RICHI equipped the customer with a practical + energy-saving combination solution, including the following main chicken feed making machines:

• Hammer mill SFSP56×40: power 37kW, suitable for high-fiber plant raw materials;
• SLHY mixer 1000: mixing capacity 1m³/batch, mixing uniformity CV<5%;
• SZLH320 poultry feed pellet machine: main engine power 37kW, ring die diameter 320mm, output 3–4.5t/h;
• Countercurrent cooler SKLN11×11: stainless steel structure, corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance;
• Vortex vibrating screen SFJH80×2C: double-layer screen to improve particle purity;
• Fully automatic packaging system DCS-50: error ≤±0.2%, suitable for a variety of packaging bags;
• Screw conveyor, bucket elevator: closed type, reduce dust overflow;
• Central control cabinet PLC system: standard touch screen, voice alarm, remote diagnosis module.

The equipment assembly and debugging cycle is about 30 days, and RICHI engineers go to the site to cooperate with local electricians to complete the construction.

The strategic value of developing poultry feed mill plant in Sudan

Sudan is a typical agricultural country, but the development of the feed industry is relatively lagging. In recent years, due to various reasons (currency depreciation, lifting of international sanctions, agricultural policy incentives), Sudan is in a new window period of agricultural transformation and self-sufficiency.

• Poultry farming is growing rapidly: farmers in Khartoum, Omdurman and other places have established small poultry farms;
• The price of imported feed has soared: local production can directly save 30-50% of the procurement cost;
• The government supports the rural processing industry: encourages the implementation of agricultural downstream projects, and some areas enjoy land subsidies and tax exemptions;
• Localized production has sufficient raw materials: cottonseed meal, peanut meal, and sesame meal can be transferred to the domestic feed market when their competitiveness in the international market declines;
• The Sudan-Egypt and Sudan-South Sudan trade corridors are open: feed products have regional export potential in the future.

Because of this, this poultry feed mill plant in Sudan project can be said to have "chosen the right time and direction", which not only stabilized the customer's own breeding foundation, but also took the lead in laying out the regional feed supply market.

 

Transaction process and customer evaluation

First consultation time: In early September 2020, the customer sent a consultation request through the RICHI official website, pointing out that "a device that can self-mix ingredients, make pellets, and adapt to Sudanese corn and sesame meal is needed";

Communication cycle: It took about 3 months, through Arabic + English WeChat video conferences, three rounds of technical solution comparison;

Formal signing time: December 2020;

Transaction price: The price of the whole animal feed production line equipment is US$98,000, including technical guidance and initial operation training;

Production line commissioning time: March 2021;

Customer feedback: "RICHI is the first manufacturer to actively help me simulate energy consumption and payback period"; "The equipment structure is simple and the operation is not difficult"; "It can be operated independently after one week of training, and only 4 operators are needed"; "The finished pellets have good density, less dust, and the chicken feeding rate is significantly higher than traditional powder feed."

The customer has already started to contact two nearby chicken farms to process feed for them, and plans to expand a SZLH420 large-scale chicken feed production line with an annual output of 20,000 tons in 2025.

Innovation highlights: creating a new model of low-cost, green and environmentally friendly feed factory

In view of the unstable power supply in Sudan, RICHI engineers configured the following localized adaptation solutions for the project:

• The equipment used in this poultry feed mill plant in Sudan is compatible with diesel generator sets: switch when the power is unstable to ensure 24-hour operation;
• Structural dustproof design: all feed ports are equipped with wind caps and bag dust collectors to adapt to dry and sandy weather;
• Customers are encouraged to use biomass boilers for steam: sesame shells, peanut shells, and cotton stalks can be free fuel sources;
• Video remote after-sales system is online: customers can remotely share maintenance steps with RICHI engineers through mobile phone cameras.

This fusion model of "local adaptation + standard process" not only makes it easier for Sudanese users to use modern equipment, but also reduces the difficulty and psychological threshold of initial construction.
