Poultry & Chicken Feed Production Line (1–20 TPH)

The Challenge We Address

Poultry farmers and feed manufacturers face rising demand for consistent, nutritionally balanced feed
Inconsistent pellet quality leads to feed waste and poor bird growth performance
High energy costs and manual operations erode profit margins
Different poultry stages (broiler, layer, chick) require different pellet sizes and formulas

Our Integrated Solution

We provide a complete poultry and chicken feed production line from raw material intake to finished bagged pellets, with capacities ranging from 1 to 20 tons per hour. Our turnkey solution covers cleaning, grinding, batching, mixing, conditioning, pelletizing, cooling, crumbling, screening, and packaging—fully customizable to produce pellet feed or powder feed according to customer requirements.

Process Flowchart & Equipment Overview

Stage	Equipment	Function
1. Raw Material Receiving	Dump pit, bucket elevator, screw conveyor, steel silos	Receive and store corn, soybean meal, grains, and additives
2. Cleaning Process	Drum screener, magnetic separator	Remove impurities (stones, metal, straw, dust) to protect equipment and ensure feed purity
3. Grinding Process	Hammer mill / crusher	Reduce raw materials to optimal particle size for poultry digestibility
4. Batching Process	Automatic weighing system, dosing screws	Precisely weigh each ingredient according to nutrition formula
5. Mixing Process	Ribbon mixer / paddle mixer	Homogenize all ingredients uniformly; add liquids and micro-ingredients
6. Conditioning Process	Steam conditioner / conditioner	Heat and moisturize mixed flour (70–90°C) for better pellet binding and sterilization
7. Pelletizing Process	Ring die pellet mill	Press conditioned material through ring die to form dense, durable pellets
8. Cooling Process	Counterflow cooler	Cool hot pellets (from ~80°C to near ambient), remove moisture, harden structure
9. Crumbling Process (Optional)	Crumblers	Break large pellets into smaller crumbs for chicks and starter phases
10. Screening Process	Vibrating screen	Remove fines and oversized pellets; recycle them back to the press
11. Coating Process (Optional)	Liquid coating / sprayer	Apply enzymes, oils, vitamins for enhanced nutrition and palatability
12. Packaging Process	Automatic packing scale, sewing machine, palletizer	Weigh, bag (25kg/50kg or custom), and palletize finished feed
