Background of the Feed Pellet Plant in Uzbekistan
Since 2018, the Uzbek government has encouraged the construction of medium-sized feed mills, promoting the shift of local feed production from small-scale to intensive farming. The feed pellet plant in Uzbekistan was established against this backdrop.
Client Information
When the client contacted us, they were raising approximately 80,000 broilers. They told us they needed a 5-7 tons/hour poultry feed production line.
Our sales representative, after further discussing the matter with the client, discovered that numerous farms in the surrounding area were raising laying hens and broilers.
To maximize the client’s profits, we recommended building a 10-15 t/h animal feed production line. This would allow them to produce approximately 5 tons of feed for their own operations and also meet the feed needs of the surrounding farms.

Customer Needs
After confirming the production volume with the customer, we subsequently conducted a detailed analysis of their breeding scale, raw material characteristics, and equipment requirements for the feed pellet plant in Uzbekistan.
Breeding Needs
A total of 100,000 chickens will be raised. The customer themselves owns approximately 80,000 broilers, and the surrounding scattered farms have a total of approximately 20,000 broilers and laying hens.
Raw Material Needs
Uzbekistan imports 80% of its raw materials, but the customer has a large quantity of wheat on hand locally at their facility, which they can mix with cottonseed meal for poultry feed production.
Equipment Needs
Due to the increased production capacity and the high crude fiber content of the raw materials, the production line equipment must handle large-tonnage feed production and possess good wear resistance.
Core Equipment of the Feed Pellet Plant in Uzbekistan
To better suit the raw materials of our customers’ feed pellet plant in Uzbekistan, we provide hammer mills suitable for processing wheat and cottonseed meal, a 1,000 kg/batch feed mixer, a 110 kW feed pellet mill, as well as coolers, rotary grading screens, and packing scales.
Hammer Mill
The mill employs a two-stage crushing structure, effectively crushing materials smaller than or equal to 5 cm into fine powder suitable for stable pellet production in daily operation.
- Power (kW): 110
- Grain Output (t/h): 10-15
Feed Mixer
Wheat flour has a wide particle size distribution, making it difficult to mix with amino acids, vitamins, etc. As a result, we use a SLHY2.5L mixer for our customers, thereby achieving effective mixing with strong power.
- Power (kW): 18.5
- Mixing Capacity (kg/P): 1000
SZLH420 Feed Pellet machine
Designed for the coarse fiber characteristics of cottonseed meal, the SZLH420 animal feed pellet mill uses a variable frequency feeder with gear transmission, making the pelleting process more stable and the pellet quality higher.
- Power (kW): 110
- Output (t/h): 10-15
Cooler
Cools the finished pellets at room temperature after production, thus ensuring higher hardness and a longer storage time for the product.
- Power (kW): 1.5
- Output (t/h): 8-15
Rotary Grading Screen
This equipment can be customized according to your screening needs. The customer customized a two-layer screen to remove powder from the finished pellets.
- Power (kW): 4
- Output (t/h): 8-15
Automatic Packaging Machine
The customer chose our dual-feed packaging system to automatically pack both pellets and crushed feed, meeting broiler farming needs alongside the customer’s primary pellet production.
- Power (kW): 1.5+0.55+0.37
- Output (pkts/min): 6-8
Process Flow of the Feed Pellet Plant in Uzbekistan
Below is a flow chart of the commonly used processes in our 13-18T/H animal feed pellet production line for your reference.
1
Raw Material Processing:
At a feed pellet plant in Uzbekistan, cottonseed meal has a certain degree of toxicity, so the plant must ensure the free gossypol content is no higher than 100-200mg/kg during pre-processing. Regarding wheat, if it is not moldy, the plant only needs to remove impurities during raw material processing. However, if mold has occurred, the plant must conduct relevant tests for aflatoxin, etc.
2
Grinding:
Wheat has a high hardness, and cottonseed meal contains a high amount of crude fiber. Therefore, RICHI, considering the characteristics of the raw materials, ultimately matches customers with hammer mills with stronger grinding power, paired with impeller feeders, allowing the raw materials to enter the grinding chamber more effectively.
3
Secondary Impurity Removal:
At a feed pellet plant in Uzbekistan, pre-impurity removal in the raw material processing stage can only remove most impurities. Secondary impurity removal uses a powder cheaning machine to further refine the impurities from the initial raw materials and the newly added mixed powder.
4
Mixing:
The powdered raw materials that have undergone multiple processing stages are fed into the mixer along with the premix. Specifically, RICHI typically equips its customers with a 1T/H mixer, thereby ensuring excellent mixing performance without additional power consumption.
5
Pelleting:
At a feed pellet plant in Uzbekistan, to ensure a cleaner mixture, RICHI adds tublar magnet and powder cleaning agent before pelleting for a third purification process.
After this third purification, the material enters the SZLH420 feed pellet machine. After a 304 stainless steel temperer heats the material to high temperature, the material enters the pelleting chamber, where alloy steel rollers and ring dies roll it to produce finished pellets.
6
Cooling and Screening:
The high temperature in the pellet mill makes it difficult to directly bag and transport the finished pellets. A cooler is used to lower the pellet temperature to room temperature.
7
Packaging:
Before packaging, the cooled pellets first undergo four screenings. Specifically, the primary purpose of this screening is to remove broken material generated during conveying, thereby ensuring a uniform pellet size and superior quality.
Following this, the screened pellets are then conveyed to a fully automatic packaging machine for packaging.
Note:
To protect client information, we cannot display the detailed process design drawings for this project. This is only a common flowchart we design. For a specific design, RICHI will provide you with precise one-on-one customization until you are satisfied.
