10-12T/H Chicken Feeds Making Machine in Uzbekistan

The Customer: A Regional Poultry Feed Mill Upgrading Capacity

This project's client is a family-owned poultry feed factory with around 40 employees. They supply pelleted broiler feed to integrated farms and independent growers in the Fergana region.

Previously, the mill operated two old feed pellet mills, one of which often broke down and caused unplanned downtime. Rather than overhaul the aging unit, the owner decided to buy a new single chicken feed pellet machine to work alongside the remaining functional press. The aim was to stabilize daily output, ensure uniform pellet quality, and reduce energy waste.

Why the SZLH420 Chicken Feeds Making Machine Was Selected

Considering the mill’s daily broiler feed demand and available raw materials, RICHI’s team recommended the SZLH420 chicken feeds making machine. This model balances moderate power requirements with higher capacity, which fits the customer’s plans to gradually expand production without major infrastructure changes.

Key specifications of the SZLH420 chicken poultry feed pellet machine:

• Main Motor Power: 110 kW
• Feeder Motor Power: 1.5 kW
• Conditioner Motor Power: 7.5 kW
• Ring Die Inner Diameter: 420 mm
• Pellet Diameter: 3–4 mm (ideal for broiler feed)
• Production Capacity: 10–12 tons/hour

This choice gives the poultry feed mill the flexibility to run the new pelletizer during peak demand while keeping the older machine as backup or for smaller production batches.

Local Raw Materials Used for Chicken Feed Production in Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan’s feed industry relies mainly on local grains and oilseeds. Typical raw materials used by this customer include:

• Corn and wheat: locally grown in the Fergana Valley, providing the main energy source.
• Soybean meal: partly domestic, partly imported from neighboring Kazakhstan or Russia.
• Sunflower meal: produced locally from oil pressing.
• Wheat bran: a common by-product from local flour mills.
• A small share of fish meal or meat-bone meal for additional protein, depending on availability.

For this feed mill’s broiler rations, a typical mix is:

• 55% corn
• 25% wheat
• 12% soybean meal
• 5% sunflower meal
• 3% wheat bran
• Trace premixes, minerals, amino acids

This blend offers sufficient energy and protein to help local broiler farms reach target slaughter weights efficiently.

Specific Role of the Chicken Feeds Making Machine

The new chicken feeds making machine in Uzbekistan is dedicated entirely to pelleted broiler feed. In Uzbekistan, layer chickens are mostly fed mash feed, so there is no need to pelletize feed for egg-laying operations. The factory does not produce pig feed or aquafeed because local demand for aquaculture feed is still low and floating feed requires a different extruder.

Besides standard broiler feed, the mill occasionally uses the same pellet press to produce finisher rations for turkeys, which are becoming more popular among local integrated farms. Thanks to the ring die’s adjustable die hole size, they can produce 3 mm or 4 mm pellets for broilers or turkeys without major adjustments.

Why Invest in a Single New Pelletizer Instead of a Full Line?

When asked why they didn’t invest in a complete new animal feed production line, the mill owner explained that replacing the entire feed processing line was unnecessary and financially unrealistic at this stage. Their hammer mill, mixing system, and bulk storage are all still reliable and do not limit daily capacity.

What held them back was the aging pellet press that frequently broke down and reduced throughput. By adding a modern chicken feeds making machine, they now have:

• Higher output during peak seasons.
• Less downtime and lower spare parts costs.
• More stable pellet durability, which is critical for feed efficiency on poultry farms.
• Better steam conditioning and lower fines.

Practical Impact After Commissioning the Chicken Feeds Making Machine

Since commissioning the SZLH420 chicken poultry feed pellet machine, the mill reports several improvements:

• Daily capacity increased by roughly 30% without needing new buildings.
• Pellet durability rose from an average 82% to about 90%, meaning less feed waste at farm level.
• Energy costs per ton of feed dropped by over 12%, thanks to improved motor efficiency.
• Operator workload has decreased, since the new chicken animal feed pellet machine runs more smoothly and requires fewer manual adjustments.

What Makes RICHI a Good Fit for Uzbekistan's Feed Mills?

Many feed mill owners in Uzbekistan still rely on older imported or second-hand pellet mills that often lack spare parts support. By choosing RICHI’s chicken feed pellet machine, the customer gained not just a modern unit, but also:

• A local support network for spare parts and maintenance.
• Remote installation guidance and video training for the factory team.
• Customized ring die and roller set options to match local raw material characteristics.
• Engineering advice on how to connect the new unit to their diesel-powered steam generator.

Future Plans: Preparing for More Growth

Encouraged by early results, the feed mill’s management is planning small future upgrades:

• Adding a second conditioner to improve steam treatment when processing high-fiber sunflower meal.
• Expanding their finished product storage to reduce bagging time during harvest season.
• Considering another chicken feeds making machine in the next two years if demand continues to grow in Fergana, Andijan, and Namangan.
• These small, practical steps help the mill stay flexible without over-investing upfront.

Broader Value: Strengthening Uzbekistan's Poultry Value Chain

As Uzbekistan’s broiler production grows, consistent feed quality becomes the backbone of farm profitability. Good pellet quality means:

• Better feed conversion ratios.
• Faster weight gain for broilers.
• Less feed waste and lower transport costs.
• More predictable production cycles for farmers.

By upgrading their feed mill with a robust chicken feeds making machine, this customer helps hundreds of small poultry growers in the Fergana Valley compete with larger operations and keep more value in local supply chains.

More Than Equipment: RICHI's Practical Service for Local Feed Mills

Supplying a chicken feed pelletizer machine is just the start. RICHI's role includes:

• Technical consulting for layout and integration with existing chicken feed production lines.
• Ongoing advice for selecting the best die compression ratio based on local grains.
• Local stocking of core wear parts like rollers and dies.
• Training for operators on safe operation and troubleshooting.
• This practical approach means less downtime and lower long-term operating costs.
