Brief Introduction
This South African client owns a cattle and sheep farm. By establishing dedicated sheep feed production lines for sheep and cattle feed, the client aims to achieve self-sufficiency in feed supply and reduce long-term procurement costs. Compared to loose forage, pelleted feed facilitates better nutritional balance, thereby helping to increase the daily weight gain of the livestock and improve feed conversion rates.
Furthermore, the construction of a feed production line enables the processing of raw materials—such as forage, lucerne, fescue, sorghum, corn, wheat bran, and soybean meal—into pellet feed, facilitating long-term storage and ensuring a stable, year-round supply.
After comparing multiple feed machinery manufacturers, our client determined that RICHI offers the most advanced technology and the highest cost-performance ratio. Furthermore, we are able to provide turnkey solutions, thereby alleviating the burden on our clients.
Key Equipment
The sheep feed production line in South Africa comprises a complete set of animal feed machine, including a feed crusher, a feed mixer, a livestock feed pellet machine, a cooler, and a packaging machine. Furthermore, we provided the client with various auxiliary devices, such as cyclones, conveyors, and storage silos.

Sheep Feed Production Line Process Flow
This South African sheep feed production line employs an advanced pelletizing process for sheep and cattle feed. The entire line encompasses a comprehensive series of stages—including raw material cleaning, crushing, mixing, pelletizing, cooling, screening, and packaging—and is equipped with a PLC automatic control system. It offers ease of operation and stable performance, enabling continuous production.
1
Cleaning Section:
First, remove impurities from the feed raw materials—items such as metal fragments, small stones, and loose threads must all be discarded. These raw materials typically consist of items like corn, soybean meal, and wheat bran. The customer’s forage raw materials do not need to be unpacked and can be directly crushed.
2
Crushing Section:
Use a feed hammer mill to grind the raw materials into a powder. The particle size should generally be controlled to within 3 mm.
3
Mixing Section:
In accordance with the requirements of the feed formula, thoroughly mix the raw materials—including grass meal, fish meal, cornmeal, soybean meal, and minerals—until completely uniform.
4
Pelleting Section:
Feed the mixed ingredients into the sheep feed pellet machine to press them into pellets.
5
Cooling and Screening Section:
Use a counterflow pellet cooler to cool down the freshly pressed sheep feed pellets to ambient temperature, resulting in harder and more stable pellets. Subsequently, a vibrating screen is employed to sift out any fines and substandard pellets, thereby ensuring the finished product consists of pellets of uniform size.
6
Finished Product Packaging Section:
Use an automatic packaging machine to weigh the finished sheep feed pellets, then bag and package them.
Suitable Raw Materials
The raw materials processed by this sheep feed production line in South Africa are diverse: corn, wheat, and barley serve as the primary energy sources, while soybean meal and rapeseed meal are utilized to provide protein for broilers. Furthermore, the client incorporates high-fiber ingredients, such as alfalfa and crop stalks. To enhance the nutritional value and quality of the feed, the client’s formulation also includes molasses and various functional additives.
