RICHI Machinery Launches 10T/H Cattle Fish Feed Mill Plant in Vietnam

Recently, RICHI Machinery signed a contract with a leading agricultural cooperative in Vietnam to build a 10t/h cattle fish feed mill plant. The client, a large-scale aquaculture and livestock cooperative, was motivated by Vietnam’s booming demand for high-quality animal feed, particularly for fish and cattle, driven by both domestic consumption and export markets.

Previously, the client relied on small, outdated feed production systems, which could not meet the increasing demand for uniform, nutritionally balanced feed. They approached RICHI Machinery to design a modern, high-efficiency feed mill capable of producing both cattle feed and fish feed at commercial scale. The client required a single turnkey plant with a capacity of 10 tons per hour, capable of handling multiple feed formulations.

Vietnam’s diverse agricultural resources influenced the feed formulas. The client intended to use locally sourced raw materials including:

• Maize and corn gluten meal for energy content (40% of mix)
• Soybean meal and fish meal for protein (30%)
• Rice bran and cassava flour for fiber and energy (20%)
• Vitamin and mineral premixes for balanced nutrition (10%)

The plant was designed to process these materials into pellets of 3–8 mm for fish feed and 6–10 mm for cattle feed, fulfilling different feeding requirements. The client also had specific requirements for pellet durability, low dust emission, and energy efficiency.

Project Implementation and Plant Design

The 10t/h cattle fish feed mill plant was built in a newly constructed facility near the Mekong Delta, taking advantage of the region’s proximity to raw material suppliers and port logistics. The design incorporated:

• Separate crushing lines for maize, rice bran, and cassava to ensure uniform particle size
• Automatic batching and mixing systems to guarantee consistent feed formulas
• Twin screw extruder for fish and cattle feed, ensuring optimal pellet hardness
• Integrated dryer and cooler units to maintain pellet moisture content and storage quality
• Dust collection and material conveying systems to reduce environmental impact and enhance safety

RICHI engineers collaborated closely with the client to customize the animal feed production line layout. Special attention was given to electric load distribution, accommodating Vietnam’s three-phase 380V power supply, and ensuring energy efficiency across all units.

Equipment Configuration and Technical Parameters

The plant’s key equipment included:

• Hammer mills for grinding maize, rice bran, and cassava flour
• Twin shaft mixers for blending raw materials uniformly
• Pellet extruders (3 units) designed for different pellet sizes (3–8 mm for fish, 6–10 mm for cattle)
• Rotary dryers to reduce pellet moisture to 12–14%
• Counterflow coolers to prevent pellet breakage and maintain storage quality
• Automated conveyors and packaging units

Each feed pellet machine is capable of processing 3–4 tons per hour, allowing the combined system to reach the total design capacity of 10 t/h. The plant also integrates a multi-stage dust collection system to ensure compliance with Vietnam’s environmental regulations.

Operational Advantages for the Client

The 10t/h cattle fish feed mill plant provides the client with numerous operational benefits:

1. High Efficiency: Continuous operation at full capacity reduces production time and labor costs.
2. Flexible Formulation: Supports multiple feed types and formulas, including specialized fish feed and cattle feed blends.
3. Consistent Quality: Twin screw pellet presses produce dense, uniform pellets that enhance feed conversion ratios.
4. Energy Efficiency: Integrated systems optimize electricity and steam usage, lowering operational costs.
5. Environmental Compliance: Dust collection and proper moisture control reduce environmental impact and ensure safety.

The cattle fish feed mill project enables the client to expand their market reach, supplying high-quality feed to both local farmers and aquaculture operations across Vietnam.
