This is a project about chicken feed machine in Indonesia. After researching various options, the owner chose to buy a new chicken feed machine — specifically, a single high-efficiency ring die pellet mill — to replace the aging pelletizer. Other existing equipment like the hammer mill, mixer, and premix bins remain unchanged for now.
This is a project about chicken feed machine in Indonesia. Indonesia has long been one of Southeast Asia’s biggest poultry markets, with millions of households relying on broiler meat as an affordable source of protein. Demand for poultry feed keeps rising as new contract farms open across Java, Sumatra, and Sulawesi.
This situation puts pressure on local feed producers to deliver consistent, high-quality broiler feed pellets that support faster weight gain, lower feed conversion ratios, and better farm profit margins. In this scenario, many medium-sized feed mills find themselves facing a familiar challenge: old machines that can’t keep up with modern feed formulas and larger batch sizes.

This specific project revolves around a family-run feed mill operating near Surabaya, East Java. For over fifteen years, the company has supplied formulated broiler and native chicken feed to local poultry growers, mostly through direct contracts. The mill produces feed mainly from locally sourced raw materials like yellow corn, rice bran, palm kernel meal, and imported soybean meal.
Over the last few years, this feed mill’s production scale has grown by over 25% due to an influx of new customers. The owner realized the old feed pellet mill — a small domestic brand unit — was becoming a bottleneck, causing frequent line stops and extra power consumption.
After researching various options, the owner chose to buy a new chicken feed machine — specifically, a single high-efficiency ring die pellet mill — to replace the aging pelletizer. Other existing equipment like the hammer mill, mixer, and premix bins remain unchanged for now.
For many Indonesian feed mills, investing in an entire new line all at once is not realistic. Step-by-step upgrades are much more practical. This customer decided the biggest immediate improvement would come from swapping the pellet press — the part of the process where actual pellets are formed and hardened.
By choosing only the pellet section for replacement, the mill kept the project cost within budget while solving the main cause of daily downtime.
Based on the production needs, daily batch size, and raw material mix, RICHI’s local technical team proposed the SZLH420 chicken feed pellet machine — a medium-capacity model well matched to Indonesia’s typical broiler feed scale for independent mills.
Core specs for this machine:
This model easily covers the mill’s daily output target while leaving extra capacity for peak seasons.
Broiler feed in Indonesia is mostly grain-based but often includes high-fiber, affordable by-products to manage costs. For this customer’s typical grower feed, the formula looks like this:
The older pellet press struggled with fiber from rice bran and palm kernel meal. The new SZLH420 chicken feed pelletizer’s stronger gearbox, precision die holes, and high-efficiency conditioner solve this problem, producing denser, more uniform pellets with fewer fines.
It’s important to clarify that this chicken feed machine is strictly used for broiler pellets. Layer hens for egg production in Indonesia typically consume mash or crumble feed, which does not require pelletizing. Floating aquafeed for tilapia or catfish, which is huge in Indonesia, requires extruders — not ring die pellet presses. This chicken feed production line only produces meat chicken feed, plus some native village chicken pellets for backyard poultry growers.
Replacing a pellet mill inside an existing plant needs careful planning. RICHI’s local service agent in Surabaya arranged the removal of the old machine, guided the mill’s mechanics on adjusting the steam line for the new conditioner, and checked the power connections.
RICHI’s engineer then provided full on-site training to the mill operators:
The entire switch-over was completed in five days — including testing and first production runs.
Within the first month, the owner saw real improvements:
Satisfied poultry growers quickly noticed the pellets were firmer and left less dust in feeders, boosting feed intake and weight gain.
This project shows how one well-chosen chicken feed making machine can modernize a line without breaking the bank. The owner now plans to upgrade the mixer next year to keep pace with the SZLH420’s capacity.
Step-by-step improvements like this allow Indonesian feed millers to stay competitive in a market where cost control and pellet quality directly affect farm profitability.
RICHI’s chicken feed pellet mill for Indonesia has several features perfect for local conditions:
These details make the SZLH420 poultry feed pellet machine a trusted choice among Indonesian poultry feed producers.
