What pellet machine and how much money are needed to open a chicken feed-processing plant

Demand for opening a chicken feed-processing plant


The equipment and fund required are different to open a chicken feed-processing plant depending on the production scale and product type. Here are some common equipments and estimation of the capital cost.

The demand of equipment.

The chicken feed-processing plant mostly needs equipments such as pellet machines, mixer, dryer, cooler, and packaging machine. These factors such as production scale, product type, equipment quality and durability should be taken into account in purchasing equipment.

The demand of fund

General speaking, the mainly funds devotion to chicken feed-processing plant includes purchase expenses of equipment, rental fee, staff wages and procurement of raw material. The capital required is different for opening a chicken feed-processing plant depending on the district, rental fee, staff wages, and it is assessed at millions yuan.

Except for equipment and capital, we also need to consider the laws and regulations, production environment, product quality, and other aspects of chicken feed processing plants. Before setting up our factory, we would better seek advice from a skilled professional, and conduct a market research, risk assessment to ensure our business succeeds.

The demand of equipment.

Pellet machine


It is used to crush raw materials for chicken feed, then the mixed materials are fed into the feed pellet machine and pressed into pellets. It is usually divided into two kinds: flat die feed pellet mill and ring die feed pellet mill. Flat die feed pellet mill is small scale feed pellet machine that is designed for small scale feed pellet production. Ring die feed pellet machine is more suitable for large scale animal feed pellet production.

Mixing machine

Feed mixing is a key step in feed pellet plant due to its direct influence on quality of feed pellets. Feed mixer machines are performed to evenly blend various kinds of raw material powder and sometimes liquid adding equipment is necessary to be used to add liquid nutrition ingredients for better mixing. The mixing various feed raw materials in an appropriate ratio to achieve balance nutrition.

Drying machine

Feed drying is an essential step in feed pellet plant because of its big influence on quality of feed pellets. Dries the mixed feed raw materials to reduce moisture content, which is helpful for the pellet machine to press the mixed materials into pellets.

Cooling machine

The pellet cooler is used for cooling the feed pellets just coming out from the animal feed pelletizer. The feed pellet cooler can cool down the hot feed pellets from 80-90℃ to about 3-5C above ambient temperature. It is used to reduce feed temperature and ensure that feed pellets do not deform.

Packaging machine

Packaging is an important step in feed pellet plant owing to its big influence on quality and sale of feed pellets. We are supposed to pack the manufactured feed pellets so that they can store and sell easily.

The demand of fund

Purchase expenses of equipment

Productive equipment is the core investment of chicken feed-processing plant.it cost too much at millions yuan.The cost depends on factors such as equipment specifications, brand, quality, etc.

Site rental or construction fees

Renting and establishing manufacturing plants and related infrastructure such as offices and garages.The fund required is different for opening a chicken feed-processing plant depending on district,area and construction standards.

Employee salary expenses

Chicken feed processing factory needs to recruit technician, workers, and administrator. Staff wages occupy a certain proportion,it should be arranged  based on production scale and personnel quantity.

Procurement of raw material

Main raw and processed materials of the chicken feed include grains, soybean meal, fish meal, etc. The price and supply situation are unstable, and it is necessary to maintain good procurement channels and management. We should select proper raw material and purchasing channel in consequence of unstable price and supply.

Except for equipment and capital, we also need to consider the laws and regulations, production environment, product quality, and other aspects of chicken feed processing plants. Before setting up our factory, we would better seek advice from a skilled professional, and conduct a market research, risk assessment to ensure our business succeeds.
