RICHI Completes Testing and Export of 10 T/H Feed Mill Equipment for Cambodia

RICHI Machinery completed the manufacturing, pre-delivery testing and export of a 10 T/H animal feed pellet production line ordered by a customer from Cambodia. The customer originally found RICHI through our website and, after project communication and equipment selection, placed the order for a complete feed processing system designed around a 10-ton-per-hour production target.

The project later progressed beyond the delivery stage and the production line was installed at the customer's site. This makes the Cambodia order a useful example of how an overseas feed mill project moves through several connected stages: supplier selection, contract confirmation, equipment manufacturing, factory testing, export delivery and on-site installation.

From Online Inquiry to a 10 T/H Feed Mill Contract

The Cambodian customer first contacted RICHI Machinery after finding our animal feed processing equipment online. Rather than purchasing only a standalone pelletizer, the customer selected a complete 10 T/H feed production solution.

At this capacity, the project requires considerably more coordination than a small farm-use feed line. Raw material receiving, grinding, batching, mixing, pelletizing, cooling, screening, conveying and finished-feed handling all need to work around the same production target.

The project therefore moved through technical communication before the equipment entered manufacturing. Capacity was only one part of the discussion. Raw material type, formula structure, finished feed form, operating hours, automation level and site conditions all influence the final configuration of a complete feed mill.

What 10 T/H Means for Raw Material and Daily Feed Output

A 10 T/H feed production line operates at a scale where raw material supply and production planning become major engineering considerations.

At the nominal design rate, eight hours of production corresponds to approximately 80 tons of finished feed. A 16-hour operating day corresponds to approximately 160 tons, while 20 hours of production can theoretically reach around 200 tons.

Actual output depends on formula changes, pellet size, raw material characteristics, maintenance, production scheduling and equipment utilization, but these figures show why a 10 T/H feed mill needs a stable ingredient supply rather than occasional raw material purchasing.

Ingredient storage, receiving capacity and downstream finished-feed handling must therefore be sized around daily throughput. If raw materials cannot enter the plant quickly enough, the pelletizing section will not maintain its design output. If packing or storage cannot handle the finished feed leaving the line, the same problem occurs downstream.

Feed Raw Materials That May Be Considered for Cambodia

The original project information does not specify the customer's exact formulas, so RICHI does not present a particular ingredient ratio as a confirmed fact about this Cambodia project.

For commercial or livestock feed production in Cambodia, practical formula planning may involve locally available materials such as maize, rice bran, broken rice, cassava-derived ingredients, soybean meal and other protein, mineral and premix components depending on the target animal and nutritional formulation.

These materials cannot all be handled identically. Whole grains such as maize normally require grinding. Rice bran and meal ingredients may enter the batching and mixing system without the same size-reduction route. Cassava-based materials can vary in form and moisture and therefore need to be evaluated before they are included in a stable feed production process.

For a 10 T/H plant, ingredient variety also affects the number of storage and batching positions required. A customer producing several formulas may need more raw material separation and more flexible batching than a plant producing one relatively stable livestock feed product.

Pre-Delivery Testing Is a Critical Stage Before Export

One of the most useful details preserved in the original project record is that the equipment was tested before delivery. For a complete overseas feed mill, this stage is important because it allows individual machines and relevant system functions to be checked before the equipment leaves the factory.

Factory testing can help confirm equipment rotation, mechanical operation, electrical control and the basic coordination of relevant components before shipment. The exact testing scope depends on the equipment and the project, but the objective is the same: identify avoidable problems before installation begins overseas.

For customers purchasing feed machinery internationally, pre-delivery testing is also a useful point for reviewing equipment condition, confirming project documentation and preparing for the next installation stage.

How a 10 T/H Feed Processing System Needs to Be Matched

A complete animal feed pellet production line should be designed as one material-flow system rather than as a collection of independently selected machines.

The exact configuration depends on the customer's formulas and production plan, but the main processing logic normally includes the following sections.

• Receiving and cleaning: raw materials enter the plant and unwanted impurities are removed where required.
• Grinding: whole grains and other coarse ingredients are reduced to the required particle size.
• Batching: major ingredients are weighed according to the feed formula.
• Mixing: all ingredients are distributed before pelletizing.
• Conditioning and pelletizing: the mixed feed is prepared and formed into pellets.
• Cooling: hot pellets are cooled before subsequent handling.
• Screening: fines are separated from finished pellets.
• Storage and packing: finished feed is held or bagged according to the customer's sales or feeding system.
• Conveying and dust collection: supporting systems connect the major processing sections and help maintain stable plant operation.

At 10 T/H, every section needs sufficient effective capacity. An undersized hammer mill, mixer, cooler or conveying system can limit the real output of the entire plant even when the pellet mill itself is capable of higher throughput.

Why Factory Testing Matters More as Feed Mill Capacity Increases

As feed mill capacity increases, the number of machines, drives, conveyors, bins and control points usually increases as well. This makes equipment coordination more important before shipment.

A 10 T/H line can involve several material-transfer stages between receiving, grinding, batching, mixing, pelletizing and finished-feed handling. Problems in one section can therefore affect multiple downstream processes.

Pre-delivery checks help the project team verify the equipment before international transport and prepare documentation for installation. They also give the customer greater confidence that the machines entering the shipment stage have already passed through a structured manufacturing and inspection process.

Different Livestock Feed Products Change the Equipment Requirements

The project record refers broadly to animal and livestock feed pellet production but does not specify the customer's final feed portfolio. This distinction matters because a 10 T/H line does not automatically mean that every feed product should be produced with exactly the same process settings.

Poultry, pig, cattle and other livestock feeds may differ in raw material composition, grinding fineness, fiber level, conditioning requirements and pellet size. A plant producing several products also needs to manage formula changeover and finished-feed segregation.

For this reason, RICHI does not use the old marketing assumption that the same standard pellet line can produce poultry, livestock, fish and pet feed without process differences. Aquatic feed and pet food may require different equipment routes, including extrusion, finer grinding, drying or coating, depending on the product.

For conventional livestock and poultry pellet feed, the process can be configured around the customer's actual formula and desired product range rather than a generic equipment list.

Equipment Exported to Cambodia After Factory Preparation

After manufacturing and testing were completed, the equipment entered the export stage. According to the original project record, the 10 T/H feed line was exported in August.

For a turnkey feed mill, shipment preparation involves more than loading one pelletizer. Multiple machines, supporting components, electrical elements and installation-related parts need to be organized so that they can later be identified and assembled at the customer site.

This becomes especially important for a 10 T/H system because the final plant depends on the correct connection of all upstream and downstream equipment.

From Equipment Export to Installation at the Customer Site

The Cambodia project later progressed beyond the delivery stage and the equipment was installed at the customer's site. This is an important distinction because shipment is only one milestone in the implementation of a complete feed mill.

After equipment arrival, the main installation work can include machine positioning, structural and conveying connections, electrical installation, piping where required and the integration of individual sections according to the designed process layout.

The next stage is system commissioning. At that point, the project focus moves from individual machine operation to complete-line coordination.

Material flow, batching cycles, mixing time, pelletizing conditions, cooler operation, screening and finished-feed handling need to work together so that the production line can move toward its intended operating capacity.

What First-Time 10 T/H Feed Mill Buyers Should Confirm Before Ordering

For customers planning a feed plant of this scale, the most important decisions need to be made before the equipment reaches manufacturing.

1. Confirm the animal species and feed products the plant will manufacture.
2. Prepare the main raw material list and approximate formula structure.
3. Estimate daily ingredient demand based on target production hours.
4. Confirm required pellet sizes and any crumble or mash feed requirements.
5. Determine how many formulas will be produced regularly.
6. Decide whether ingredients will arrive in bags, bulk form or both.
7. Confirm the required batching and automation level.
8. Define finished-feed storage and packing requirements.
9. Check available workshop dimensions, height and equipment access.
10. Confirm electrical supply and other site utilities before final layout.

These details allow the supplier to design the line around the customer's actual business rather than simply quoting a standard "10 T/H feed pellet plant" package.

Why Customers Compare More Than Feed Pellet Mill Price

For a complete 10 T/H feed project, buyers should compare the scope behind each quotation rather than only the total price.

A supplier may quote a lower figure by excluding raw material bins, automatic batching, dust collection, packing or part of the conveying system. Another proposal may include a more complete project boundary and therefore appear more expensive at first glance.

Buyers should also compare whether the crushing, mixing, pelletizing and cooling sections are actually matched to the same hourly output. Nominal capacity written beside one machine does not guarantee the same production rate for the whole line.

Manufacturing quality, factory testing, documentation, installation guidance, commissioning support and spare-parts planning should also be considered when evaluating an overseas feed machinery manufacturer.

A Cambodia Feed Mill Project Progressing Through Multiple Stages

This 10 T/H project progressed through several visible milestones: the Cambodian customer found RICHI online, confirmed the equipment order, the machinery was manufactured and tested before shipment, the equipment was exported, and the line was later installed at the customer site.

That sequence is more representative of a complete feed mill project than the old idea of simply purchasing a feed pelletizer and starting production. Each stage affects the next, from formula and equipment selection to manufacturing, testing, logistics and installation.

For customers evaluating a similar 5 T/H, 10 T/H or larger feed mill, RICHI Machinery recommends starting with the actual raw material list, approximate formulas, target animal species, pellet specifications, daily production requirement, working hours, workshop dimensions and desired automation level. These details make it possible to define a realistic process and equipment scope before quotation and manufacturing begin.
