This is a project regarding a raw grain cooking extruder in Vietnam. The client specializes in producing raw grain materials for piglet feed, poultry feed, and plant protein flour for further processing into meat alternatives and snack products. Previously, the client relied on traditional roasting and hammer milling processes, which limited throughput and caused inconsistencies in grain gelatinization and digestibility.
This is a project regarding a raw grain cooking extruder in Vietnam. Vietnam has a thriving agricultural sector, producing abundant corn, soybeans, rice, and cassava. In recent years, there has been a rising demand for high-quality animal feed ingredients, plant protein products, and breakfast cereals. This growth has created opportunities for processing companies to invest in advanced extrusion technology capable of handling a wide range of raw grains.
This case focuses on a Vietnamese client, a medium-sized animal feed and plant protein ingredient manufacturer based in the Mekong Delta region. The client specializes in producing raw grain materials for piglet feed, poultry feed, and plant protein flour for further processing into meat alternatives and snack products. Previously, the client relied on traditional roasting and hammer milling processes, which limited throughput and caused inconsistencies in grain gelatinization and digestibility.
To modernize their operations, the client purchased a single raw grain cooking extruder. This machine was not intended to replace a full production line but to serve as a high-efficiency, standalone unit to improve raw material processing. The purchase decision aimed to enhance digestibility, achieve better quality consistency, and expand into new product lines without major plant overhauls.
Name:
grain extruder machine

Vietnam
Date:
2025
Capacity:
1.1-2.9T/H
Model:
RCYP160G
Main Motor Power:
110 kW
Raw Materials:
yellow maize, soybeans
extruder type:
wet-type
The client is a feed ingredient and plant protein processing company, producing materials for:
Their primary goals for purchasing the single raw grain cooking extruder included:
This approach allowed the client to upgrade the raw material processing section without disrupting their existing production flow.
Vietnam’s fertile regions provide:
The client required a raw grain cooking extruder that could process both dry and wet grains, accommodating the moisture content variations typical of local raw materials.
After evaluating their production needs, the client selected the RCYP160G wet-type raw grain cooking extruder. Key specifications:
| Main Motor Power | Screw Diameter | Feeder Power |
|---|---|---|
| 110 kW | 160 mm | 1.5 kW |
| Feeder Specification | Modulator Power | Soybean Output |
|---|---|---|
| WLQ219-1200 | 7.5 kW | 2.0–2.9 T/H |
| Maize Output | ||
|---|---|---|
| 1.1–1.4 T/H |
This configuration allowed for flexible processing of multiple grains, ensuring consistent puffing, cooking, and sterilization. The capacity matched the client’s mid-scale operation, optimizing productivity without oversizing the equipment.
The raw grain cooking extruder offers substantial advantages over traditional methods:
This versatility made it a logical choice for Vietnamese producers seeking efficient, high-quality extrusion equipment for both feed and plant protein ingredients.
The extruder produces puffed corn and soy for:
Puffed grains improve feed digestibility, palatability, and growth performance, giving local feed manufacturers a competitive advantage.
The client also produces soy and cassava-based flour for:
The extruder’s ability to cook and gelatinize starches makes it ideal for plant protein applications, ensuring consistent product quality.
Smaller feed mills in Vietnam often lack advanced extrusion equipment. This single extruder allows the client to produce ready-to-use puffed grains for local customers, opening new business opportunities.
All equipment is shipped via sea freight, with the primary port of arrival:
The port is well-equipped for industrial machinery shipments. The extruder arrived with installation tools, spare parts, and operational manuals, ensuring a smooth commissioning process.
After installation, the client reported several improvements:
Operators also highlighted the ease of cleaning and adjusting the machine for different moisture contents and grain types.
RICHI Machinery’s raw grain cooking extruders are particularly suited for Vietnam due to:
These features convinced the client that RICHI machines offer long-term reliability and versatility for expanding feed and plant protein production.
RICHI Machinery provided full support for the project:
The client appreciated that RICHI engineers were hands-on, providing guidance beyond installation, helping to optimize both efficiency and product quality.
Six months after installation, the client shared their experience:
A production manager commented: “The raw grain cooking extruder has exceeded our expectations. We now produce consistent, high-quality feed ingredients and plant protein products with far less energy and labor. RICHI’s service and technical support have been outstanding.”
The client is now considering purchasing a second extruder to increase production capacity and explore innovative product formulations.
This project demonstrates how a single RICHI raw grain cooking extruder can transform feed and plant protein production:
For producers searching for raw grain cooking extruder Vietnam, grain puffing machine for feed, or multi-grain extrusion equipment, RICHI Machinery offers reliable machines, professional support, and extensive regional experience.
The Raw Grain Cooking Extruder in Vietnam case illustrates how a single, well-designed extruder can significantly enhance product quality, operational efficiency, and business potential, making it a valuable investment for mid-scale feed and plant protein processors.
