This is a project about a grain feed mixer in Nigeria. A mid-sized poultry feed company in Lagos State sought to improve the quality and consistency of its grain-based poultry feed.
This is a project about a grain feed mixer in Nigeria. Nigeria is the largest agricultural producer in West Africa, with a growing demand for animal feed to support its expanding livestock sector. Poultry, cattle, and small ruminant farming have surged in recent years, driven by rising domestic consumption and regional export opportunities. Many feed producers in Nigeria rely on a combination of manual mixing and small-scale mechanized systems, which often leads to inconsistent feed quality and uneven nutrient distribution.
A mid-sized poultry feed company in Lagos State sought to improve the quality and consistency of its grain-based poultry feed. Previously, the company used a small manual mixer for blending maize, sorghum, and other grains with protein supplements and mineral premixes. This approach was inefficient for their growing production volumes, causing variability in feed quality, lower hatchling growth rates, and inconsistent feed conversion ratios.
To resolve these challenges, the company purchased a single SLHY2.5L grain feed mixer, a single-shaft double-ribbon mixer, as a standalone unit to upgrade their feed preparation capabilities. The decision to purchase a single unit was strategic: the company wanted to first evaluate the benefits of mechanized mixing before committing to a full-scale production line expansion. This single-unit purchase allowed them to immediately address feed quality issues without major capital expenditure.

The customer is a mid-sized poultry feed producer, producing approximately 5–6 tons of mixed feed per day for broilers and layers. The main motivations for acquiring the grain feed mixer in Nigeria were:
By purchasing the SLHY2.5L feed mixer machine, the company could immediately improve feed quality and reduce labor while maintaining flexibility for future expansion.
After assessing the farm’s daily production requirements and the types of raw materials available in Nigeria, the SLHY2.5L single-shaft double-ribbon mixer was chosen. This grain feed mixer in Nigeria is highly efficient for small-to-medium feed mills, providing thorough mixing of both powdered and coarse grain materials.
Technical Specifications:
The double-ribbon design ensures thorough mixing of coarse grains, powdered additives, and premixes, minimizing segregation and enhancing feed consistency. The robust construction ensures reliable operation even in hot and humid conditions common in Nigeria.
In Nigeria, poultry feed primarily consists of locally available grains supplemented with imported protein sources and essential additives. The grain feed mixer blends:
The SLHY2.5L grain feed mixer in Nigeria ensures all these ingredients are evenly combined, producing a balanced feed that meets the nutritional requirements of poultry at different growth stages.
The grain feed mixer in Nigeria operates under specific parameters to maximize efficiency and feed quality:
The grain feed mixer in Nigeria can handle a combination of coarse maize, sorghum, powdered soybean meal, and premixes without clogging or separation, producing a consistent mixture for pelletizing or loose feed delivery.
Since the SLHY2.5L grain feed mixer in Nigeria was installed, the poultry feed company has reported multiple improvements:
This single SLHY2.5L grain feed mixer in Nigeria has proven essential for producing high-quality poultry feed efficiently and reliably.
The grain feed mixer was shipped by sea to the Port of Lagos, Nigeria’s primary port for industrial equipment imports. RICHI Machinery provided comprehensive support, including:
The equipment arrived on schedule, and the installation was completed quickly, allowing the company to start producing high-quality feed immediately.
“The SLHY2.5L mixer has significantly improved our feed quality. The grains and supplements are thoroughly blended, and our poultry flock is thriving. The RICHI team assisted with installation and training, making the transition smooth. This mixer is an excellent investment for any feed mill looking to improve efficiency and product quality.”
RICHI Machinery offers several advantages for Nigerian feed producers:
Investing in a grain feed mixer in Nigeria guarantees high-quality, consistent feed that supports better animal growth and production efficiency.
The SLHY2.5L grain feed mixer in Nigeria demonstrates how a single, high-quality mixer can transform feed production for mid-sized poultry feed companies. By effectively blending maize, sorghum, soybean meal, palm kernel meal, and premixes, the mixer produces a balanced and uniform ration for poultry. Coupled with RICHI Machinery’s professional services, this unit is a reliable, efficient, and essential investment for feed producers seeking to improve quality, efficiency, and profitability.
