Application of RICHI Poultry Feed Production Line
The poultry feed production line is a highly flexible manufacturing system. Its core application value lies in the ability to economically, efficiently, safely and precisely convert nutritional formulas into a diverse range of feed products tailored to different poultry types (such as broilers, layers and waterfowls), different growth stages (including chicks, growers, layers and finishers) and different morphological requirements (namely powder feed, pellet feed and crumbled feed).
By adjusting formulas, replacing ring die apertures and regulating process parameters (e.g., steam temperature and conditioning time), a single production line can achieve rapid product switching to meet the diversified market demands.

Work Process of Poultry Feed production Line
The poultry feed production line is engineered with poultry-centric design features throughout every process step, ensuring the final feed products align with the nutritional needs and feeding habits of poultry across different species and growth stages. Below is a detailed breakdown of each process segment.
Raw Material Receiving & Cleaning 1
Primarily receive key poultry feed ingredients such as corn, soybean meal, wheat bran, and oilseed cakes. Then, remove impurities and metal contaminants using cleaning screens and magnetic separators to prevent damage to subsequent equipment.
Grinding Section 2
Use a hammer mill to grind raw materials into particle sizes suitable for pelleting (<3 mm). The grinding fineness can be adjusted based on the feed requirements of poultry at different growth stages.
Batching & Mixing Section 3
Use high-precision batching scales to weigh various raw materials according to the formula, then feed them into a mixer (commonly a dual-shaft paddle type) for efficient mixing, ensuring uniform distribution of nutrients.
Pelleting Section 4
The mixed powder enters a conditioner, where steam is introduced for cooking and conditioning to enhance feed safety and digestibility. It is then fed into a chicken feed pellet making machine for shaping.
Cooling Section 5
The hot, moist pellets enter a cooler and undergo counterflow heat exchange with air to reduce temperature and moisture, solidifying and hardening them.
Crumbling & Screening Section (Optional) 6
Use a feed crusher to break large pellets into uniformly sized crumbles for easier consumption by young poultry. Use a screener to sift out qualified products.
Finished Product Packaging 7
Weigh, bag, and seal the products using automatic weighing and packaging scales.

Systematic cost reduction and efficiency improvement plan
Scientifically plan production capacity based on customers’ current actual demands and reasonable growth expectations for the next 3–5 years. Adopt a modular and scalable design concept to reserve space and interfaces for future capacity expansion, avoiding overall demolition and reconstruction.
Optimize factory layout to ensure that material flow from raw material silos to finished product warehouses is as smooth and concise as possible, which can significantly reduce civil engineering, equipment and operational costs.
Select core production equipment carefully to cut down on unnecessary investment in auxiliary equipment. Choose high-efficiency energy-saving motors and reasonably designed fan systems to lower long-term operational costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Below are some questions you may have when you purchase a poultry feed production line. If you have any further inquiries, please feel free to contact us.
–
What is the production capacity of your poultry feed production line per hour? Can it meet our expansion plans for the next 3-5 years?
Our standard poultry feed lines cover a capacity range of 1-100 tons per hour and can be fully customized to your needs. To ensure investment flexibility, we adopt a modular design: all core equipment (e.g., hammer mill, mixer, pellet mill) is designed with upgrade interfaces, allowing for future capacity expansion by adding or replacing key modules without rebuilding the entire line.
–
Is it suitable for the production of feed for different poultry species such as broiler chickens, laying hens, ducks, and geese? Is it easy to switch between different feed formulas and pellet sizes?
Absolutely. The core design of our production line supports feed processing for all poultry types. The batching system can store multiple recipes for quick, one-touch switching. The feed pellet machine is equipped with a quick-change die system (replacement time < 30 minutes) and can be fitted with dies of various hole diameters to meet the full range of requirements, from starter crumbles (1-2mm) to large breeder pellets (4-8mm).
–
How can the particle size of poultry feed ingredients be adjusted?
We provide both drop-type hammer mills and super micro grinders for raw material processing. The grinding fineness can be precisely adjusted (typically within a range of 0.8-3.0mm) via adjustable screen mesh size and frequency-controlled hammer speed to meet the requirements of different formulas and targeted digestibility.
–
What is the achievable mixing uniformity of the mixer in the poultry feed production line？
The high-efficiency paddle mixer we configure delivers excellent mixing uniformity. The Coefficient of Variation (CV) for mixing homogeneity can be consistently maintained at ≤5% (surpassing common industry standards), ensuring highly consistent nutrient distribution in every feed pellet.
–
Is the energy consumption of the entire production line high? Does it incorporate any energy-saving designs?
The entire line is designed with high efficiency and energy savings in mind to reduce your long-term operating costs. Key energy-saving features include:
- Intelligent Power Configuration: Major energy-consuming equipment like hammer mills and fans utilize frequency conversion control to significantly reduce no-load energy consumption.
- Heat Recovery System: Waste heat from the pellet cooling process is recovered and reused for raw material pre-heating.
- High-Efficiency Transmission: The drive system efficiency of key equipment is ≥96%. Overall, these measures can achieve comprehensive energy savings of 15%-25%.
–
What is the level of automation? Does it require extensive manual operation? Can it be started and stopped with a single button from a central control room?
The poultry feed production line offers configurations ranging from semi-automatic to fully automatic. The standard solution enables:
- Centralized Control: One-touch start/stop and real-time monitoring of output, energy consumption, and fault alarms via a PLC system in the control room.
- Low Labor Requirement: Only 2-3 personnel are typically needed for inspection and manual feeding in the standard configuration (this can be further reduced with an automated silo feeding system).
–
How long does it take from signing the contract to starting production? Does this include factory layout design and infrastructure guidance?
The typical project timeline ranges from 1 to 8 months, depending on the poultry feed production line’s capacity and configuration complexity. We provide a comprehensive “turnkey project” service, which includes:
- Customized process and production line design
- Overall plant layout and logistics planning
- Installation, commissioning, and acceptance of all equipmen
- Systematic training for operational and maintenance personnel
Our engineers will conduct a site survey and provide detailed technical requirements for plant infrastructure (e.g., power, compressed air, drainage).
–
Does the equipment comply with international certifications such as CE and ISO?
All core equipment in the poultry feed production line carries CE Certification (complying with EU Machinery Directive). Our production management system is certified under ISO9001 for Quality Management and ISO14001 for Environmental Management. Core electrical components utilize internationally renowned brands such as Siemens, ensuring compliance with global safety and environmental standards.
–
What is the warranty service like?
We provide a 1-year warranty on poultry feed production line equipment and commit to lifelong technical support. In case of any equipment malfunction, you can contact us anytime via phone, email, or video call. Our engineering team will promptly provide remote diagnosis and troubleshooting solutions.
