Layer and Broiler Chicken Feed Making Machine price

A “Chicken Feed Making Machine” refers to a complete set of equipment used to produce poultry feed. This integrated system encompasses the entire production process, from raw material processing, crushing, mixing, pelletizing, cooling, to packaging. Based on our extensive industry experience, we will now introduce three main production line configurations: powder feed production line, pellet feed production line, and composite feed production line.

Layer Powder Feed Production Line

Layer Powder Feed Production Line

We recommend a powder feed production line to many clients who inquire about layer chicken farming. It’s affordable, easy to operate and maintain, and provides the nutritional requirements of layer chickens.

  • Process Flow: Raw Material Cleaning → Grinding → Mixing → Packaging
  • Equipment Configuration: Primary Screen → Hammer Mill → Ribbon Mixer → Packaging Scale
  • Laying Chicken Feed Making Machine Price: Approximately $10,000 – $3000,000
Broiler Feed Pellet Production Line

Broiler Feed Pellet Production Line

This is a compound feed production line. For broiler farmers, we recommend a chicken feed pellet production line because pelleted feed is rich in nutrients, improves the chickens’ appetite, and is healthier and safer to eat.

Furthermore, a single production line can be configured with a dual-path conveying system, allowing it to produce both powdered and pelleted chicken feed. Maximizing return on investment makes it the best choice for adapting to future production models.

  • Process Flow: Raw Material Cleaning → Grinding → Mixing →
    • (Pellet Path: Granulation → Cooling → Packaging)
    • (Powder Path: Direct Packaging)
  • Equipment Configuration: Primary Screen → Hammer Mill → Ribbon Mixer → Ring Die Chicken Feed Pelletizer → Countercurrent Cooler → Vibrating Screen → Automatic Packaging Machine
  • Broiler Chicken Feed Making Machine Price: Approximately $20,000 – $3000,000

For individual farmers and smaller farms, a single chicken feed pellet machine or a small layer and broiler feed line is the most economical and practical option. However, pricing varies depending on the customer’s specific requirements for the design details of the chicken feed pellet machine. Generally, our chicken feed pellet making machine price (FOB) ranges from US$7,000 to US$90,000.

For medium- to large-scale farms, the FOB price for a complete chicken feed production line system ranges from US$20,000 to US$2,500,000. This wide price range is due to the fact that even if customers are processing the same pellets for the same output, the price can vary depending on the raw materials, feed formula, and production process. Production capacity, degree of automation, process design, customized services, etc. are all key factors affecting chicken feed pellet production equipment.

The video above shows the trial of a 3-ton/hour chicken feed pellet machine purchased by a Spanish customer. This customer primarily raises broilers, aiming to improve their appetite and promote rapid weight gain.

The chicken feed pellet machine processes raw materials into high-density, uniformly formed, and powder-free high-quality pellets. These pellets are compact and smooth, durable in storage, easy to feed, and significantly reduce feed waste.

The Spanish customer was very satisfied with the trial video. The machine has been in operation in Spain for three years, and the customer commented, “The machine runs very smoothly, with virtually no blockages or malfunctions. It saves us a lot of manpower and time. We are very satisfied with the performance and durability of the machine and have recommended it to our local farmers.”

The equipment shown in the 3D effect video above was developed and designed by us in 2024 and is not our latest equipment. The 3D video clearly demonstrates the scientific and efficient working principle of our chicken feed pellet machine. The operating principle is also very simple:

First, the mixed dry powder feed is fed into the conditioner, where it is thoroughly blended using steam. This step uses high temperature and moist heat to gelatinize the starch, making the feed pellets easier to digest.

The tempered material is then fed into the pressing zone, consisting of a ring die and rollers. The material is extruded through the die holes in the ring die into strips.

Next, a cutter on the outside of the ring die cuts the extruded strips into pellets of uniform length. These pellets are then fed into a cooler, ultimately forming hard, easily storable chicken feed pellets.

FAQ related to chicken feed making machine

I’m a farmer from Australia. I have approximately 50,000 laying hens and would like a low-yield, affordable machine. What type of chicken feed production equipment should I choose?

For laying hens, we recommend a small chicken feed powder production line. This type of line has a simple structure and low investment cost, making it ideal for small and medium-sized farmers.

If your investment is small, you can consider a powder feed line with manual feeding, manual metering, and semi-automatic packaging. It can reduce equipment costs and is very easy to operate, fully meeting your daily feed processing needs.

I have 13,000 free-range chickens and would like to produce my own feed to save costs. What is the cheapest chicken feed processor for a small configuration? I only need about 0.5 tons per hour. Please recommend a budget-friendly option.

We recommend a small chicken feed pellet mill or mini feed processing line with a capacity of around 1 ton per hour. It is ideal for home use or small farms and does not require complex installation. The most basic configuration (manual loading and manual discharging) typically has a FOB price of around $5,000. This is a very practical and economical entry-level solution.

We currently mix feed by hand for 5,000 laying hens, but it’s inefficient and inconsistent. As a first-time buyer, what price should I expect for a simple, reliable chicken feed pellet mill with a capacity of 500 kg per hour?

For laying hens, mash feed is actually more suitable because it better meets the nutritional needs of laying hens at different growth stages and eliminates the need for pelleting, effectively reducing costs.

Based on your current flock of 5,000 laying hens, we recommend a small mash feed line consisting of two core pieces of equipment: a grinder and a mixer. This saves labor and is highly efficient.

This configuration is simple to operate and requires minimal investment, making it ideal for farmers new to mechanized production. The price of the entire system ranges from approximately $4,000 to $6,000, depending on the motor power and material (carbon steel or stainless steel).

(If you plan to expand production later, this system can be supplemented with a pelletizer, cooler, and other equipment to easily produce a variety of chicken feed types.)

My farm produces organic eggs and requires antibiotic-free feed. My recipe includes oats and barley. What is the price of equipment that can handle these grains and is easy to clean to prevent cross-contamination? I need a machine that meets organic production standards.

For organic feed production, we recommend stainless steel chicken feed pellet mills, as they are easy to clean, leave no residue, and prevent cross-contamination.

For formulations containing oats and barley, we recommend models with a forced feeding system and conditioning unit to ensure consistent pelleting.

The specific equipment price depends on your production capacity, but a complete stainless steel chicken feed pellet making machine price typically costs between $9,000 and $10,000. A complete chicken feed making machine price (including mixing, pelletizing, cooling, etc.) approximately is $25,000 to $2,500,000.

This is my first time preparing chicken feed. I’ve always bought ready-made feed, but now I want to process a healthier feed myself. Could you share a commonly used feed recipe for laying hens and broilers? I want a nutritionally balanced feed that helps the chickens grow quickly and produce more eggs.

raw materials for chicken feed

Of course! Below are two commonly used basic recipes suitable for small to medium-sized farms. The proportions can be adjusted based on local ingredients.

Layer Feed Formula: Corn: 55%, Soybean Meal: 20%, Bran: 10%, Fish Meal: 5%, Stone Dust/Bone Meal: 3%, Vitamins, Amino Acids, Salt, and Other Additives: 2%, Rapeseed Meal or Cottonseed Meal: 5%

Broiler Feed Formula: Corn: 60%, Soybean Meal: 25%, Bran: 5%, Fish Meal or Meat and Bone Meal: 5%, Stone Dust/Bone Meal: 2%, Premix and Trace Elements: 3%

If you use specialized local ingredients (such as sorghum, barley, peanut meal, sunflower meal, etc.), we can provide customized formula recommendations based on raw material availability.

I want to produce my own chicken feed pellets to save costs and ensure feed quality for my farm. How are chicken feed pellets produced? What equipment does a complete chicken feed production line include? I would like to know the function of each piece of equipment in a complete chicken feed making machine configuration.

Generally speaking, the production process of producing chicken feed pellets is crushing chicken feed, mixing chicken feed, pelletizing chicken feed, cooling chicken feed pellets and packing chicken feed pellets. But the specific production process should be decided according to the actual production needs. It is generally divided into small output production chicken feed pellets and large output chicken feed production line.

Small chicken feed pellet mill

Small chicken feed pellet production needs to use the machine crusher, chicken feed pellet making machine. The production process begins with the crushing of the raw materials to be used for pelletizing. Then the crushed chicken feed raw materials are put into the pelletizer feeder for pelletizing. The resulting pellets are then dried and can then be fed to animals or stored. If you are a farmer and want a small chicken feed pellet machine to produce chicken feed pellets for your own feeding chicken farm, this kind of chicken feed making machine price is cheap, convenient and practical, which is the ideal choice for you. You can find us on YouTube.

Chicken feed production line:

Large poultry feed production line is also a more popular way to produce chicken feed pellets today. The following is the specific process of this production line:

1. Crushing chicken feed

First, the food raw materials prepared according to the formula are put into the crusher for crushing. At this time, the feed crusher is usually used to crush the raw material to a powder of 2-3mm.

2. Mixing chicken feed

Then, use a mixer to mix the crushed raw materials evenly.

3. Chicken feed pelletizing

After mixing, the raw materials pass through the feeder into the chicken feed pellet machine for pelleting.

4. Chicken feed pellets cooled

After pelletizing, the temperature and humidity of chicken feed pellets are relatively high. In order to avoid deterioration and surface damage of chicken feed pellets, it is necessary to use a cooling machine to cool chicken feed pellets to around room temperature before storing and packaging.

5. Chicken feed pellets packing

After cooling, you can choose to use a packing machine or directly bag storage.

Factors affecting the chicken feed making machine price

After reading some of our project examples above, I believe you have a general understanding of our chicken feed making machine price. But do you know what factors affect the price of the machine? There are many factors that affect the price of chicken feed pellet machines, such as brand, manufacturing process, machine output, etc. These factors will be discussed below.

poultry chicken feed making machine price varies from different brand

With the growing demand for chicken feed pellets, the market is increasingly populating with chicken feed pellet mill manufacturers. Some brands pursue a low-cost approach, meeting only minimal customer requirements.However, these small-scale businesses often struggle to guarantee after-sales service.

Manufacturers like RICHI Machinery, on the other hand, prioritize advanced technology, durability, long-life design, and a comprehensive after-sales service system. Our equipment not only offers stable performance but also guarantees high-quality output over the long term.

Before choosing, it’s recommended to fully understand the price range, technical specifications, and after-sales service of each brand. Considering your budget and production capacity requirements, choose the option that best balances price, quality, and long-term returns.

Production process affects the chicken feed making machine price

We should all understand that a penny for a penny. Using different production processes and different materials used in the production of pellet mill prices will naturally be different. For example, RICHI Machinery, a high quality and reasonable price pellet mill manufacturer, adopts the most advanced technology to produce each pellet mill, adopts stainless steel design, equipped with Siemens motor and imported high-quality German SKF bearings.

We focus on the quality and innovation of each machine to ensure that every machine we produce can make high quality pellets and create great profits for our customers. Moreover, the price of our chicken feed pellet machine is ex-factory price, which is absolutely the most cost-effective choice. You can choose to come to our factory for a field inspection to check our production process as well as the price of pellet making machine.

Production capacity directly influences chicken making machine price

Usually, for the same type of machine, the higher the capacity, the higher the price of the machine.
The same is true for chicken feed pellet mill. The higher the production capacity of the chicken feed pellet mill, the higher the corresponding price will be.

Therefore, we suggest that you firstly define your production capacity requirements, such as how many chicken feed pellets you want to produce per day. Then choose a reliable pelletizer manufacturer to recommend the most suitable chicken feed pelletizer for you. Under normal circumstances, we recommend that you choose a machine that is slightly higher than your production capacity needs, so as to avoid machine failure or low productivity can also ensure your daily production. Of course, the output of the machine is not recommended to be too high, so that you can reduce unnecessary expenses.
