Complete Chicken Feed Production Line Process Design
This production line has a complete and standard process. The machines follow uniform standards the whole time, so each batch of feed has the same good quality.
01
Raw Material Storage
All chicken feed ingredients and additives go into special storage bins. No more piling things up by hand. This stops the material from getting wet and going bad, saving you from waste.
02
Raw Material Cleaning
A pre cleaner and magnet separator automatically get rid of common junk like dirt, stones, and straw pieces. Protecting downstream machinery in the chicken feed production line, this prevents clogs and damage, reduces downtime, and delivers cleaner feed.
03
Raw Material Grinding
Big pieces like corn and soybean meal go through a hammer mill to become fine powder. This ground powder has less dust and a good texture. Chickens like eating it more, and it’s easier for them to digest.
04
Batching and Mixing
An automatic scale and paddle mixer measure out the ingredients precisely according to the nutrition needed, then mix everything evenly. This makes sure every batch has the same nutrition, so chickens don’t get picky and grow unevenly.
05
Pellet Pressing
The mixed powder is conditioned and pressed inside the ring die chicken feed pellet mill under high pressure into solid pellets, then cut into uniform sizes by cutter blades.This is the core process of the chicken feed production line.
06
Cooling and Crumbling
Fresh pellets are hot and wet. A counterflow cooler quickly brings the temperature down and dries off extra moisture. For chicks, pellets can then be crumbled into smaller pieces.
07
Spraying and Screening
A vacuum spraying system can apply fats or nutrients onto the chicken feed pellets to enhance taste and nutrition. Afterwards, the feed goes through a vibrating screen to separate qualified products, while fine powder is recycled.
08
Packing
An automatic packing machine accurately weighs, bags, and seals the qualified chicken feed, ensuring neat presentation and easy storage, finishing the whole production process.
Every stage of the chicken feed production line connects perfectly for smooth operation. By replacing manual work with a standardized process, we ensure consistent chicken feed quality while easily accommodating different production demands.
Key Equipment List for Chicken Feed Production Line
The whole chicken feed line is made up of several special machines. Each one is designed for making chicken pellets and is built to last and be easy to fix.
Drum Cleaning Sieve
This machine is used in the front section of the production line to screen out large and fine impurities mixed in raw materials, such as stones and sand. It ensures that clean materials move on to the subsequent processing steps.
Powder Cleaning Sieve
This one screens powdery materials like corn flour and soybean meal. These materials often have bits of straw, dirt, and other things mixed in from harvesting and transport. The machine uses screens to separate out the big stuff, so only clean powder moves on to grinding.
Feed Hammer Mill
This machine grinds grains like corn, soybeans, and cake meals into fine powder to improve the chicken feed production line. The powder is ground evenly, which makes later mixing and pelleting go smoother. Chickens and ducks digest it more easily too.
Grass Material Crusher
This machine is for high fiber materials like straw, hay, and grass from the field. It chops long stalks into small pieces. These chopped pieces can then be mixed with grain powder to make more cost effective poultry feed.
Animal Feed Mixer
This machine takes the ground grain powder, chopped grass, and various nutrient additives all at once. Inside, paddles mix everything thoroughly so every bit of feed has the exact same nutrition in each batch.
Feed Pellet Cooling Machine
Pellets fresh out of the high pressure pellet mill are hot and have high moisture, making them soft and prone to mold. This machine blows cool air through them to quickly remove heat and extra moisture. The pellets get harder and last longer in storage.
Feed Pellet Crumbler
As a downstream machine in the chicken feed production line, this equipment rolls large pellets and breaks them into smaller pieces. The resulting pieces are perfectly sized for young chicks that cannot peck and eat large pellets yet.
Vibrating Screen
This machine uses high frequency shaking to screen cooled pellets. It removes fine dust and any oversized pieces. The fine powder can be sent back to be re pelleted, leaving only good looking finished product.
Rotary grading screen
This machine uses a rotating planar motion to accurately sort finished feed pellets into various size fractions. It is essential for separating crumbles or pellets to match the feeding requirements of different growth stages, such as starter chicks versus finishing broilers.
Automatic Packaging Machine
This is the last step. The machine automatically weighs out a set amount of feed, puts it into a bag, and seals it. This whole process doesn’t need many people, making packing and shipping finished feed much faster.
Drum Magnetic Separator
This machine has a magnetic drum inside. As material flows over it, it catches metal bits like iron filings or small nails. This stops hard metal from getting into the hammer mill or pellet mill and breaking parts, plus keeps the feed free of metal.
Cylinder Pulse Dust Remover
This equipment uses high pressure air to automatically clean its filter bags, continuously collecting the dust. It cuts down on dust in the chicken feed production line, making a better work environment and recovering feed powder that would otherwise be lost.
Bucket Elevator
This machine uses buckets inside to grab powder and pellets and lift them straight up. It moves material smoothly with little spillage or loss. It’s the common way to move material between steps in the production line.
Scraper Conveyor
This machine is ideal for the long-distance horizontal conveying of raw materials and finished feed in a poultry feed production line. With a high capacity ranging from 20 to 210 cubic meters per hour, it features built-in anti-blocking and chain-break alarm systems.
Vacuum Spraying System
By altering the internal micro-pore air pressure of the chicken feed pellets in a vacuum state, it allows high proportions of fats (up to 36%) or flavorings to thoroughly penetrate and lock evenly inside the pellets.
SZLH Series Feed Pellet Mill
This is the main machine of the whole chicken feed production line. It takes the mixed powder and presses it under high pressure into solid pellets. By changing the internal die, you can make different pellet sizes for chicks, broilers, and layers.

Buyer’s Guide & Support Center
All your questions are answered here! Below are answers to frequently asked questions about the chicken feed production line, providing you with comprehensive answers.
How to decide the capacity when choosing a chicken feed line?
→
Choosing the right capacity depends on your real needs. Think about these five things. First, your feed demand, figure out how many tons per day or month your market needs. Second, your business size, know if you’re a small farm using it yourself or a large commercial feed maker. Third, your raw material supply, make sure you can buy enough ingredients steadily for the target output. Fourth, your future expansion plans, if you think your output will grow, leave room to upgrade or expand the line. Fifth, your investment budget, find the best balance between your needed capacity and the equipment cost.
Can this poultry feed line handle different feed recipes?
→
Yes, this line can handle different recipes easily. It was designed to make several types of feed, to fit the needs of different poultry like chickens, turkeys, and ducks, plus their different growth stages like chick starter, grower, and finisher feeds. While running, you can easily change the ingredient ratios, moisture level, and pellet size. This ensures you meet specific nutrition standards for each type of poultry. This flexibility makes it great for making custom feeds based on your specific feeding needs.
How is moisture controlled during production?
→
Moisture control in poultry feed production happens mainly in two steps, conditioning and cooling. In the conditioning step, the machine adds steam to the mixed powder to adjust moisture. This helps pellets bind well and not break easily. After pelleting, pellets go into the cooler. This removes extra moisture and makes the pellet structure stable. With this precise control, feed moisture stays in the best range of 10 12%. This stops mold from growing and makes the pellets last longer.
What maintenance does a poultry feed pellet line need?
→
To keep the equipment running its best and make it last longer, regular maintenance is a must. Here are five key things. First, clean the machines on a schedule, get out built up powder and leftovers to prevent clogs and jams. Second, add lubricating oil regularly to shafts, gears, and other moving parts to cut down on wear. Third, often check the wear condition of core parts like the ring die, roller shells, and motor. Fourth, replace the ring die and roller shells promptly when worn to keep output speed and pellet quality high. Fifth, regularly check wires and electric control parts to avoid sudden stops from electrical problems.
Why does feed from this line taste good, digest well, and lower feeding costs?
→
The key reason is the high temperature steam and high pressure pressing during production. The cooked feed has a natural grain smell. Pellets are neat and solid, so chickens want to eat them and don’t waste feed by scratching it away. The high heat breaks down hard to digest fibers and starch structures inside the grains. Poultry guts can take in nutrients more easily. The same weight of feed helps chickens grow faster, with less sickness and diarrhea. Over time, your total feeding costs go down noticeably.
Does RICHI provide installation and training for the chicken feed production line?
→
Yes, RICHI Machinery provides full installation and training services for its feed pellet lines. For the setup, our team offers on site technical support to make sure everything is installed right and runs accurately. We also offer on site or remote technical training for operators.
