Potential broiler chicken feed production industry in Zimbabwe

The 3-5 tons per hour chicken feed mill project focused on broiler feed market in Zimbabwe. The production of feed for poultry especially broilers is characterized as capital intensive with intensive management practices such as specialization and product differentiation. The production of broiler meat commercially is expanding in the SADC region, 58.6% for Zimbabwe and 66.4% for South Africa, thereby giving a great room and opportunity for the poultry industry to make profit.

It is noted that Zimbabwe has the good potential in broiler production. Therefore, there is need to increase the production of broiler feed or find alternatives that will lower broiler feed prices but we think there is a lack of empirical evidence on the structure, conduct and performance of the broiler feed marketing system in Zimbabwe. Regarding this point, we also communicated with the Zimbabwe client during the negotiation of the 3-5tph high quality broiler chicken feed manufacturing project and expressed our suggestions for his future marketing.

Zimbabwe 3-5t/h chicken feed mill process design

1. Pulverization and mixing: Put the purchased corn kernels, rice bran and soybean meal into the pulverizer of the chicken feed production line for pulverization, and then enter the chicken feed mixer after pulverization to mix evenly.
2. Conditioning and tempering: steaming the raw materials through the steam provided by the gas boiler, that is, conditioning.
3. Pelletizing: granulating after steaming, working principle of chicken feed pellet making machine: it is sent between the running ring die and the working surface of the pressing roller. The rotating die drives the roller to rotate through friction with the material. Under the strong extrusion, the material overcomes the resistance of the hole wall and is continuously extruded from the die hole in strips. During extrusion by the chicken pellet machine, the cutter installed outside the die is cut into granules of suitable length, and the position of the cutter can be adjusted to control the length of the granules.
4. Cooling: After pelletizing, it is cooled by a cooling fan, and then enters the finished product warehouse. The cooling process mainly discharges gas containing heat and water vapor.
5. Measuring and sub-packaging of finished products: After cooling, the finished products are measured and sub-packed for sale.

Chicken feed pellet making machine in Zimbabwe

In this 3-5tph chicken feed mill plant project, the most important feed mill equipment is of course the chicken feed pellet making machine. Therefore, the quality of the chicken feed pellet mill is one of the most concerned issues for this Zimbabwean customer.

So how to choose feed pellet making machine? This question is not limited to chicken feed production, but applies to all animal and aqua feeds production projects. There are many ways to choose a feed pellet machine. The following is to tell you how to choose a feed pellet machine from a functional point of view.

A general chicken feed pellet making machine in Zimbabwe must have the following functions:

(1) With feeder and conditioner. The feeder must be infinitely variable. The chicken feed pellet making machine conditioner is equipped with a steam addition port and a molasses addition port.
(2) With iron removal protection device and motor overload protection device.
(3) Necessary safety protection devices, such as protective covers, door-opening power-off switches, etc. There are some special functions that are not available in common chicken feed pellet making machines. Users should check with the chicken feed machine manufacturer if they have:

• Enhanced conditioning function to prolong the stability of pellets in water, which is necessary for the production of aquatic feed.
• Grease spraying function on particle surface. The granular grease sprayer can be omitted from the process.
• Press roller bearing electric oiling function.
• Auto control function. It is a computer control system that can automatically adjust the amount of feed and steam according to the set main current and tempering temperature parameters.

Richi Machinery can provide ring die chicken feed pellet making machines with the above 4 special functions.

Features of chicken feed pellet making machine in Zimbabwe

Automatic control of the amount of steam added

Steam conditioning treatment is a key process before granulation by pellet making machine for poultry feed. Through steam conditioning, the temperature of the material in the conditioner rises to 73-83°C, and the moisture content reaches 15-17%. The granulator automatically controls the amount of steam added.

The essence of the chicken feed making machine control process is to convert the problem of steam addition control into the problem of material temperature control. It is well known that the pressure of dry saturated steam used for granulation is 0.2-0.4MPa and the temperature is 120-143°C. When the steam is passed into the conditioner, the powder temperature rises through heat exchange. The larger the amount of steam added, the higher the powder temperature.

Speed ​​monitoring of the spindle

For large chicken pellet making machines, overloading may occur due to different raw material conditions and other factors. The chicken feed granulator implements speed monitoring on the main shaft. When the main shaft stall reaches the speed, it will automatically give an audible and visual alarm, and stop after a certain delay.

At this time, the chicken pellet making machine operator should take measures such as increasing the amount of steam and reducing the amount of feed to keep the feed pellet granulator in normal working condition.

Material blocking alarm system

During the chicken pellet making machine working process, once the material is blocked due to the excessive feeding amount, the small steam amount or the improper gap between the pressing and pressing rollers, firstly, the mechanical material level device is blocked and transmits an electrical signal for sound and light alarm.

At the same time, it is linked with it The cylinder of the lock also receives a signal action to open the anti-blocking material door to discharge the material, and the anti-blocking material door does not automatically close until the material level device rotates normally. During the whole automatic control process, the chicken pellet making machine does not stop.

After the pellet making machine operator hears the alarm, he quickly adjusts the material state or the working state of the pressing roller. This greatly reduces the number of starts and stops and shortens the adjustment time.

Automatic lubrication system

The lubrication content of the chicken pellet making machine includes the lubrication of the main shaft bearing and the pressure roller bearing. For the lubrication of the main shaft and the bearing of the pressing roller, the dry oil pump of the chicken pellet feed machine automatically feeds aviation grease to each main lubrication point through the oil feeder, and can be monitored by the reading of the pressure gauge on the oil road, can be equipped with perfect safety protection devices.

Electromechanical interlocking devices are designed in the forming box, observation door and the end of the main shaft. When foreign matter enters between the ring die and the pressing roller, the pressing roller is stuck and cannot rotate.

While rotating with the ring die, the safety pin at the end is cut off, causing the travel switch to act, cutting off the power supply of the chicken pellet making machine, and effectively protecting the ring die.

The roller and main motor are protected from damage. In addition, when the forming box or observation door is opened for maintenance or observation, the power supply of the chicken feed pellet machine will be automatically cut off to protect personal safety.

The feeder can be installed within the horizontal plane, which makes the process layout flexible in the process of chicken feed pellet machine layout, which can reduce the floor height and horizontal conveying power, and reduce the cost of civil engineering and equipment.

Rapid lifting of the ring molding roller

The specially designed ring die and pressure roller lifting device of this chicken feed pellet making machine make the disassembly and assembly of the ring die and the pressure roller quick and convenient, which reduces the labor intensity of workers and shortens the disassembly and assembly time.
