This is a project about an industrial grain puffing machine in Argentina. The client had been using traditional roasting and milling systems, which often led to uneven puffing and inconsistent raw material gelatinization. This affected feed performance, particularly for sensitive piglets.
This is a project about an industrial grain puffing machine in Argentina. Argentina has long been a leader in agriculture and livestock production, with extensive soybean and corn cultivation and a strong feed industry supporting poultry, pig, and cattle farming. Feed manufacturers are increasingly looking for ways to enhance the digestibility of raw materials, improve feed quality, and introduce more processed ingredients into their products.
In this context, a medium-sized Argentine feed manufacturer, specializing in starter and grower piglet feed, decided to invest in a standalone industrial grain puffing machine. The client had been using traditional roasting and milling systems, which often led to uneven puffing and inconsistent raw material gelatinization. This affected feed performance, particularly for sensitive piglets.
The client opted to purchase a single RCYP160G industrial grain puffing machine, not as part of a full production line, but to upgrade raw material processing. This approach allowed them to improve feed quality without the upfront investment of a complete extrusion line, while keeping flexibility for future expansion.

Argentina
Date:
2025
Capacity:
0.6–1.3 T/H
Model:
RCYP160G
Power:
75 kW
Feeder Power:
1.5 kW
Feeder Specification:
WLQ200-1200
The client is a specialized piglet feed producer in the Buenos Aires province. Their product portfolio includes:
The purchase motivation included several key factors:
This purchase represents an incremental modernization strategy, enabling the client to gradually upgrade production processes while testing new feed formulations.
Argentina is globally recognized for its soybean and corn production, which makes these the primary raw materials for local feed manufacturing. For this project, the client planned to process:
These raw materials informed the selection of the RCYP160G model, which can handle both dry and wet grains, ensuring consistent puffing and pre-cooking.
| Main Motor Power | Screw Diameter | Feeder Power |
|---|---|---|
| 75 kW | 140 mm | 1.5 kW |
| Feeder Specification | Soybean Output | Corn Output |
|---|---|---|
| WLQ200-1200 | 0.9–1.3 T/H | 0.6–0.75 T/H |
The machine was selected to match the medium-scale production needs of the client, providing flexibility to process multiple raw materials while maintaining a consistent output suitable for piglet feed and other pre-cooked ingredients.
The machine produces highly digestible puffed grains, which serve as:
The puffing process gelatinizes starch, denatures anti-nutritional factors in soy, and sterilizes raw grains, enhancing feed safety and nutrient absorption. This is particularly important for piglets, whose digestive systems are sensitive to raw or improperly processed feed.
Puffed soy can be further processed into plant-based protein flours, which are used for:
The industrial grain puffing machine in Argentina allows the client to diversify product offerings, providing both animal feed and food-grade ingredients.
Beyond traditional piglet feed, the machine supports:
This flexibility enables the client to respond quickly to market demand and generate additional revenue streams.
For this project, the machine was shipped via sea freight, arriving at the Port of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The shipment included:
The port’s infrastructure ensures smooth customs clearance and transport to the client’s facility.
The RCYP160G industrial grain puffing machine in Argentina offers numerous advantages:
These features make it a preferred choice for feed producers seeking reliable, high-performance extrusion solutions.
RICHI provided comprehensive on-site support, including:
The client noted that RICHI engineers were highly professional, ensuring the machine operated at full capacity from the first day with minimal adjustments.
Six months into operation, the client shared positive feedback:
A feed production manager remarked: “The industrial grain puffing machine has transformed our raw material processing. It consistently produces high-quality puffed grains, and RICHI’s team provided exceptional installation and training support. We are confident in expanding production with their equipment.”
Encouraged by the results, the client plans to invest in additional machines to scale up production and explore new product lines.
The implementation of the industrial grain puffing machine in Argentina demonstrates the value of RICHI equipment:
For Argentine feed producers searching for industrial grain puffing machines, puffed grain extrusion solutions, or high-quality raw material processing equipment, RICHI Machinery provides reliable, high-performance machines with expert support and professional service.
