500 KG Ribbon Feed Mixer in Egypt

Customer Profile and Purchase Purpose

The customer is a medium-scale poultry farm managing approximately 25,000 broilers. Their goals for purchasing the single ribbon feed mixer machine were multifaceted:

• To improve mixing uniformity of powdered and granular feed ingredients
• To reduce labor intensity in feed preparation and ensure more precise feeding
• To integrate with existing equipment for a semi-automated feed production line
• To allow flexibility in feed formulations to support different growth stages of broilers

The farm opted for a single-unit purchase instead of multiple machines due to budget considerations and the capability of this model to handle the current production volume efficiently.

Equipment Selection and Specifications

Based on the farm’s feed types and production scale, the SLHY1.0A single-shaft ribbon feed mixer was chosen. Its parameters match the farm’s operational requirements:

• Model: SLHY1.0A
• Motor Power: 7.5 kW
• Mixing Capacity per Batch: 500 kg (manual feeding)
• Effective Volume: 1 m³
• Material: Carbon steel with single-axis dual-ribbon design
• Feeding Type: Manual feeding system suitable for small-to-medium batch sizes

The dual-ribbon design ensures thorough mixing of both fibrous materials, like wheat bran, and granular ingredients, such as corn and soybean meal.

Raw Material Composition

The poultry feed ingredients reflect Egypt’s local availability and dietary standards for broilers:

1. Corn meal – locally sourced from Upper Egypt farms, finely ground
2. Wheat bran – from nearby milling factories, providing fiber content
3. Soybean meal – imported from the United States, rich in protein
4. Vitamin and mineral premixes – formulated to meet Egyptian poultry nutrition standards

The SLHY1.0A ribbon feed mixer in Egypt efficiently blends these components into a uniform mix, ensuring each portion of feed delivered to the birds meets nutritional requirements.

Operational Use and Advantages

The mixer’s main advantages for this Egyptian poultry farm include:

• High mixing efficiency: Achieves uniform distribution of both powdery and granular materials
• Durable construction: Heavy-duty carbon steel withstands continuous operation
• Ease of operation: Manual feeding and discharge allow precise batch control
• Integration capability: Compatible with the existing hammer mill and pelletizer

During operation, the farm follows strict process parameters:

• Mixing Time: 5–8 minutes per batch to ensure homogeneity
• Feeding Method: Manual, with careful control to avoid overloading
• Batch Size: 500 kg, matching the daily feed requirements for the farm’s broiler population

After mixing, the feed is either directly delivered to the pelletizer for pellet production or stored temporarily for TMR use for small groups of birds.

Impact on Production and Efficiency

Since installation, the ribbon feed mixer in Egypt has improved overall feed quality and farm efficiency:

• Uniform feed distribution: Every batch consistently meets nutritional targets
• Reduced labor demands: Workers now spend less time on manual mixing
• Improved bird growth: Feed conversion ratio has increased due to consistent nutrient distribution
• Flexibility: Ability to create specialized feed mixes for chicks, growers, and finishing birds

The farm has observed a tangible increase in production efficiency and a reduction in feed waste since implementing the SLHY1.0A ribbon feed mixer.

Logistics and Delivery

The ribbon feed mixer was shipped via sea freight to the Port of Alexandria, Egypt’s major entry port for industrial equipment. RICHI Machinery provided comprehensive support:

• Pre-shipment inspection to ensure equipment quality
• Customs clearance and coordination for safe delivery
• On-site installation and commissioning
• Operator training covering mixing parameters, safety, and maintenance

This full-service approach enabled the farm to have the mixer operational within days of arrival, minimizing disruption to their production schedule.
