1-2 Tons/Hour Small Scale Feed Mill In Vietnam

Raw material selection: Raw material composition combined with local agricultural resources

As a typical small and medium-sized livestock and poultry farm owner in Vietnam, the customer mainly uses local agricultural by-products as feed raw materials. Combined with our analysis of the raw material list provided by it, the design of 1-2 tons/hour small scale feed mill in Vietnam will mainly process the following types of raw materials:

• Crushed corn: locally grown and purchased, as the main energy raw material;
• Soybean meal: imported through ports in central and southern Vietnam, providing high-quality protein;
• Wheat bran and rice husk powder: as a source of crude fiber, adjust the feed structure;
• Trace mineral premixes and vitamin premixes: added by manual or automatic systems.

These raw materials can be purchased stably at a relatively low cost in rural areas of Vietnam, reflecting the resource advantages of this small scale feed mill in Vietnam project rooted in an agricultural power.

Production line layout and process flow: implementation of standardized granulation system in practical application

The 1-2 tons/hour small scale feed mill in Vietnam selected by the customer follows the most standard pellet feed processing process. The entire line is arranged horizontally, with a compact footprint, which is convenient for daily operation and maintenance. The complete process flow is as follows:

1. Raw material crushing: All grain raw materials are first crushed to a suitable particle size (about 2-4mm) by a hammer mill;
2. Mixing system: After crushing, the raw materials are evenly mixed with soybean meal, wheat bran, and premix according to the preset formula;
3. Pelletizing system: Use SZLH250 feed pellet machine to process the mixture into standard pellets (4-6mm diameter);
4. Cooling section: Use a countercurrent cooler to reduce the pellet temperature to prevent storage mold;
5. Pellet crushing: Some feeds need to provide different particle sizes, so a pellet crusher is added;
6. Screening section: Use a vibrating screen to remove powder and oversized particles to improve product consistency;
7. Packaging system: The final pellets are packaged and stored by automatic or semi-automatic equipment.

The production line does not contain a complex system for raw material feeding and finished product transportation, which further reflects the practical orientation of this project.

Detailed explanation of equipment configuration: adaptability and cost efficiency

The main equipment used in this project are as follows:

• Hammer mill: responsible for the initial crushing of grain raw materials;
• Double-shaft paddle mixer: provides high uniformity mixing effect;
• SZLH250 animal feed pellet machine: core equipment, with a stable output of 1-2 tons per hour, suitable for small and medium-sized farms;
• Countercurrent cooler: improves pellet stability and shelf life;
• Pellet crumbler: flexibly responds to diversified breeding needs;
• Vortex screening machine: ensures uniform specifications of finished products;
• Semi-automatic packaging scale and sewing system: adapt to rural labor conditions and save labor.

The total value of the entire poultry pig feed production line equipment is US$57,800, which is extremely cost-effective, ensuring both processing capacity and fully controlling construction costs.

Applicable pellet types expansion: flexible response to multi-variety feed processing

Although this customer mainly uses it for the production of pig feed and poultry feed pellets, based on the wide adaptability of the SZLH250 pig poultry feed pelleting system we provide, this set of equipment can also process the following multiple formulas:

• Rabbit feed, goat feed, duck feed pellets;
• Basic formula of aquatic feed (sinking fish feed);
• Feed for special poultry or economic animals (such as quail, pheasant, etc.).

By changing the ring die and pelleting parameters, the product diversification of the small scale feed mill in Vietnam can be achieved without increasing the hardware cost, leaving flexible space for the customer's subsequent development.

Prospects of Vietnam's feed processing industry: small feed lines usher in a development window

In recent years, Vietnam has developed rapidly in agricultural modernization, especially in the field of animal husbandry. According to data released by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of Vietnam, the total number of livestock and poultry in Vietnam in 2023 will increase by more than 20% compared with 2018, and the demand for finished feed will continue to increase.

In this context, small scale feed mill in Vietnam is favored by farmers and breeding companies because of their flexible construction, short investment payback period, and convenient local raw material procurement and management.

Especially in the central and northern parts of Vietnam and the Mekong Delta, many farm owners have begun to try to build their own feed processing systems to reduce feed costs, improve product controllability, and meet the nutritional needs of different animal species. The client of this project is a typical representative who takes the lead in following this trend.

Project highlights and summary: a successful combination of adapting to local conditions and pragmatic investment

The small scale feed mill in Vietnam project was first negotiated on June 23, 2022. The customer clearly expressed his interest in the animal feed pellet production line and actively participated in multiple rounds of communication such as selection, configuration, and quotation. Finally, the contract was signed on November 17, 2023, marking the official launch of the project.

From the overall perspective of the project, this set of 1-2t/h animal pig poultry feed production line has the following advantages:

• Reasonable process structure, compact layout, and convenient maintenance;
• The equipment is highly versatile and can cover a variety of animal feed pellet categories;
• The investment threshold is moderate, the equipment operates stably, and the cost performance is high;
• Make full use of local raw materials, reduce operating costs, and increase feed self-sufficiency rate.

This small scale feed mill in Vietnam case not only reflects our company's rich experience and professional services in the field of small and medium-sized feed lines, but also reflects the new development trend of Vietnam's agriculture and animal husbandry from tradition to modernization, from market dependence to independent control. In the near future, we have reason to believe that such projects will continue to emerge and play a more important role in promoting regional agricultural development.
