500–1200 kg/h Semi-automatic pig feed production line

This line is suitable for farms with moderate scale and higher expectations for automation and feed quality. It supports a capacity of 500 to 1200 kilograms per hour. The sections below outline the process and recommended equipment to guide users planning a new setup or expand production.

Line Features

A market pig of 60-80 kilograms needs about 2.64 kilograms of feed per day to gain one kilogram.

This production line can support the feed needs of roughly 150 to 400 pigs per hour. It suits farms that already operate at a moderate scale, and the equipment combination can be adjusted based on actual production needs.

Line Advantages

More pig farms now mix their own feed to keep costs under control as prices fluctuate.

Based on common price ranges for corn, soybean meal, and wheat bran, producing feed on site can save about 0.12–0.20 USD per kilogram. For farms with high daily feed usage, this difference adds up to a substantial overall saving.

Core Equipment and Price Reference

Hammer Mill

For pig feed formulas based mainly on corn, soybean meals, wheat, and wheat bran, a hammer mill is a cost-effective choice with good crushing efficiency.

The particle size can be adjusted by changing the screen size, and a 1 to 3 millimeter screen is recommended for pig feed production.

If the budget allows, a water drop hammer mill can be considered for finer grinding.

Stainless Steel Mixer

For higher output needs, a larger capacity mixer is required. The recommended model offers higher efficiency and can mix about 140 kilograms of powder in roughly 15 minutes. The stainless steel build is durable, easy to clean, and supports liquid additives when needed.

This mixer provides high efficiency at a relatively low cost, making it a good fit for medium-scale farms.

Pig Feed Pellet Machine

For users with a 500 to 1200 kilogram per hour capacity need, a flat die pellet machine is recommended.

It compresses powder into pellets under high pressure, which improves feed quality and digestibility. The heat generated during pelletizing also helps with sterilization and enhances feed safety.

This model offers stable performance and delivers the required output while keeping overall investment cost effective.

Counterflow Cooler with Screening

Fresh pellets come out at a high temperature and need proper cooling. This machine uses an air-cooling system to cool large batches quickly and efficiently.

After cooling, the pellets pass through a vibrating screen that removes undersized or incomplete pellets for reuse. This reduces material waste and helps maintain consistent feed quality.

Feeding Support Equipment

This includes the screw conveyor and the skirt belt elevator, which function as auxiliary equipment in the production line.

The screw conveyor transports powder materials. Its sealed design reduces manual feeding and helps prevent dust leakage and material waste.

The skirt belt elevator transfers pellets after pelletizing, and the raised skirt structure helps minimize spillage and product loss.
