Zimbabwe has an established livestock and agricultural sector, with cattle and sheep farming, a growing poultry industry, and pig farming. Locally available raw materials, including corn, sunflower meal, cottonseed meal, hay, and wheat bran, provide potential advantages for local feed production.
For customers planning to produce feed for different types of livestock, the main requirements include a suitable production capacity, a flexible feed processing system, and equipment adapted to local operating conditions.
The Zimbabwean customer evaluated different options, from individual machines to a complete automatic feed pellet production line, before selecting a 420-model pre-batching production line with a capacity of 7–8 tons per hour.
The project requirements included:
After detailed discussions with the customer, Luodate Machinery recommended a 420-model fully automatic pre-batching animal feed pellet production line designed for a stated capacity of 7–8 tons per hour.
The system integrates raw material feeding, automatic weighing, computer-controlled batching, grinding, mixing, conditioning, pelletizing, cooling, screening, and finished feed packaging.
With eight pre-batching feeding inlets, the system is designed to support ingredient preparation before the subsequent grinding, mixing, and pelletizing stages.
The equipment configuration was also adapted to the customer's local operating conditions. Motor specifications were customized for Zimbabwe's voltage conditions, while the equipment height and frame structure were adjusted to facilitate installation in a simpler workshop and help reduce civil construction costs.
| Section | Equipment | Model | Key Specification |
|---|---|---|---|
| Raw Material Feeding & Batching | Pre-Batching Feeding Inlets | — | 8 feeding inlets |
| Batching | Automatic Weighing Scale | — | Automatic weighing |
| Batching | Computer-Controlled Batching System | — | Automatic ingredient batching |
| Grinding | Hammer Mill | SFSP66×80 | 110 kW |
| Mixing | Feed Mixer | SLHSJ2 | 18.5 kW |
| Pelletizing | Feed Pellet Mill | 420 Model | 110 kW |
| Conditioning | Conditioner | — | Conditions feed materials before pelletizing |
| Cooling | Feed Pellet Cooler | — | Cools hot feed pellets |
| Screening | Feed Pellet Screener | — | Screens finished pellets |
| Packaging | Feed Packaging System | — | Packages finished feed |
The production line is equipped with eight pre-batching feeding inlets for ingredient preparation.
An automatic weighing scale and computer-controlled batching system support ingredient weighing and batching according to the feed formulation.
The grinding section uses an SFSP66×80 hammer mill with a 110 kW motor to reduce raw materials to a suitable particle size for subsequent mixing and pelletizing.
The grinding process prepares the ingredients for further feed processing.
The computer-controlled batching system manages ingredient batching, while the SLHSJ2 feed mixer, equipped with an 18.5 kW motor, blends the prepared materials.
This process supports the preparation of different feed formulations for poultry, pigs, cattle, and sheep.
The mixed materials enter the conditioning and pelletizing section.
The 420-model pellet mill, equipped with a 110 kW main motor, produces feed pellets for different livestock applications. The production line is designed for a stated capacity of 7–8 tons per hour.
After pelletizing, the hot pellets pass through the cooling section before screening.
Cooling and screening help prepare the pellets for finished product handling and packaging.
After screening, the finished feed is sent to the packaging section.
The complete workflow connects ingredient preparation, grinding, mixing, pelletizing, cooling, screening, and packaging within one production system.
Raw Material Cleaning → 8 Pre-Batching Feeding Inlets → Automatic Weighing → Computer-Controlled Batching → Grinding → Mixing → Conditioning → Pelletizing → Cooling → Screening → Finished Feed Packaging
This integrated process is designed to support automatic ingredient batching and the production of different animal feed formulations.
The project covers approximately 20 mu (1.33 hectares) of land and is designed around a 7–8 T/H automatic animal feed pellet production line.
A key consideration was adapting the equipment to the customer's workshop conditions. Luodate Machinery adjusted the equipment height and reinforced the frame structure to facilitate installation in a simpler workshop and help reduce construction investment.
The selected equipment configuration provides the Zimbabwean customer with an integrated production system designed for multiple livestock feed applications.
The main equipment includes a 420-model pellet mill with a 110 kW motor, an SFSP 66×80 hammer mill with a 110 kW motor, and an SLHSJ2 mixer with an 18.5 kW motor. The line also includes automatic batching and downstream cooling, screening, and packaging equipment.
The project design includes motor customization for local voltage requirements and a lower equipment layout with reinforced frames to help accommodate simpler factory buildings.
The line is designed for pig feed, cattle and sheep feed, poultry feed, and crushed feed pellets.
