Application of animal feed production line in Zimbabwe
RICHI’s tailor-made animal feed production line for Zimbabwe plays a key role in many fields with its advanced technology and excellent performance. The following is the application of this production line in the local area:

Chicken feed
The feed pellet specifications are carefully designed for the different growth stages of chicks and adult chickens. In the chick stage, small pellets of 2-3 mm are convenient for chicks to peck and digest; in the adult chicken stage, 3-4 mm pellets are more in line with their feeding habits.

Rabbit feed
The pellet diameter is generally 2-5 mm, fully considering the oral structure and digestion characteristics of rabbits. Adding an appropriate amount of fiber components to the feed helps rabbits maintain intestinal health and improve digestibility.

Horse feed
Feed pellets with different energy and nutritional density are produced according to the amount of exercise and growth stage of the horse. The diameter is usually 4-6 mm, which meets the nutritional needs of horses during daily activities, training and reproduction.

Pig feed
Customized feed pellets for piglets, fattening pigs and sows. Piglet feed pellets are small and nutritious, easy to digest and absorb; fattening pig feed focuses on the balance of energy and protein to promote rapid growth; sow feed strengthens the nutritional content to ensure reproductive performance and lactation ability.
Animal feed production line in Zimbabwe: production process
In Zimbabwe, this production line is the key to ensuring the quality of feed. Its production process is fine and each link is closely connected and interlocking. Each process plays a key role. Next, we will introduce you in detail the main production process of 5T/H animal feed pellet production line in Zimbabwe:

01 Crushing system
The first step of the line is to crush the raw materials. The materials include the corn, soybean meal, wheat, they need crushing into powered materials. Then put them in to the next section.
02 Mixing system
After crushing, you can mix the crushed materials evenly through the feed mixer. Generally, the kinds of the raw materials used to make feed pellets are less than one kind, so we need to mix the raw materials, to ensure to provide uniform nutrition for the animals.
03 Pelletizing system
After mixing, the materials enter the pelletizing system. Put them into the conditioner of the animal feed pellet mill through the feeder, which can make the raw materials cooked. Under the pressure of the ring die and the rollers, the cooked materials finally pressed into uniform feed pellets.
04 Cooling system
After pelletizing, send the feed pellets to the cooling system. Due to the high temperature and moisture of the feed pellets, the feed pellets are soft and easily cracked. The temperature of the feed pellets needs cooling to room temperature, in case the surface of the feed pellets crack. In addition, the cooled feed pellets have a longer storage time.
05 Packing system
After cooling, the feed pellets can be packed manully or automatically, which makes it more convenient to store and transport.

Animal feed pellet making machine
The animal feed pellet making machine is undoubtedly the core equipment in the entire feed processing line. Its performance directly affects the quality of feed pellets. RICHI Machinery’s animal feed pellet machine is carefully designed and manufactured using new technologies and materials. Notably, the ring molds, rollers, and doors of its granulation chamber are made of stainless steel, which offers good durability, stability, and hygiene.
The working principle of this machine is to first temper the raw materials to a certain temperature and humidity. Then, the strong extrusion pressure between the ring die and the pressing roller forces the raw materials to pass through the die holes on the ring die, finally forming feed pellets with a regular shape and uniform size.
Here are the parameters of RICHI animal feed pellet press. If you don’t know how to choose, just contact us directly.
