Uganda Customer Inquiry Message
Samuel Okello
Customer
“Dears RICHI team, I operate a livestock farm in Uganda. I need equipment with a capacity of approximately 12-15 tons per hour to produce cattle and poultry feed pellets. Since this is my first investment, my budget is limited, so I would appreciate it if you could recommend a cost-effective configuration.
I would also like to know: Is the equipment difficult to operate? We have a limited number of skilled technicians. How long does it take from placing an order to starting production? My factory has ample space; can the design be optimized based on the available space? What is your after-sales service like?
Looking forward to your reply, thank you!”

Process Flow of 15 T/H Animal Feed Production Line In Uganda
This 15-ton/hour feed production line in Uganda utilizes a simplified process flow. The overall production process is as follows: raw material feeding → pelletizing and shaping → vibrating screening → cooling → finished product storage → automatic packaging → finished product warehousing. Although it is an economical configuration, this production line covers all the necessary steps in feed processing and is fully capable of producing standard-compliant pellet feed.
1. Raw Material Pre-treatment and Feeding
The pre-mixed raw materials (corn flour, soybean meal, wheat bran, grass meal, etc.) are temporarily stored in a silo. Sensors at the bottom of the silo automatically control the flow rate of the raw materials, ensuring continuous and stable operation of the pellet mill, preventing fluctuations in speed or blockages.
2. Conditioning and Pelletizing Section
This is the core section of the entire production line. The powdered raw materials first enter the conditioner, where they are conditioned by adding steam to increase their temperature and humidity, causing the starch to gelatinize. The conditioned raw materials then enter the pellet mill, where they are compressed into cylindrical pellets under high temperature and pressure from the ring die and rollers. The pellets have a diameter of 3-8 mm and a length of 10-15 mm.
3. Vibrating Screening Section
The pellets coming out of the pellet mill are not all the same size; some are too large, and some are broken. The vibrating screen has two layers of mesh. The upper layer screens out the oversized pellets, and the lower layer screens out the powder and broken pieces. The unqualified pellets are sent back to the pellet mill for re-processing, while the qualified pellets continue to the cooling section.
4. Feed Pellet Cooling Section
Newly produced pellets have a temperature of 90-110 degrees Celsius and high humidity; direct packaging would lead to mold and spoilage. The cooling machine quickly cools the pellets to room temperature in 10-15 minutes, simultaneously reducing moisture content and hardening the pellets for easier storage and transportation. Dust and water vapor are generated during the cooling process, and a cyclone separator collects them to keep the workshop clean.
5. Finished Pellet Storage Section
The cooled granules are stored in this silo. The silo has two sensors, one at the top and one at the bottom, constantly monitoring the amount of material inside. When the silo is almost full, the top sensor sends a signal to stop the feeding process. When the silo is almost empty, the bottom sensor signals that more material is needed. When feeding the packaging machine, a pneumatic valve precisely controls the flow rate to ensure stable operation of the packaging machine.
The above is the complete process flow of this 15-ton/hour animal feed production line in Uganda. Although it’s an economical configuration, every step, from raw material pretreatment to finished product packaging, has been meticulously designed to ensure the production of high-quality feed that meets standards. We have provided production lines of various sizes to customers in over 140 countries worldwide. No matter your capacity requirements or budget, we can design the most suitable solution for you.
