A South African livestock farm recently signed a contract with our factory to purchase an extruded feed pellet machine for use in the feed processing workshop of their intensive livestock and poultry farm. This machine, custom-designed for African livestock farming environments, boasts efficient extrusion performance and stable operation, becoming the South African customer’s final choice after comparing equipment from three countries, further demonstrating the deep penetration of Chinese feed equipment into the African market.

Targeting the South African livestock industry’s primarily corn and soybean meal feedstock, this machine utilizes twin-screw extrusion technology, increasing the raw material’s maturity to over 90% and improving protein digestibility by 15%. During the trial, the broiler feed produced using a blend of local corn and sunflower meal achieved a pellet hardness of 6-8N and remained stable in water for over 4 hours, fully meeting the customer’s core requirements for transport durability and ease of digestion. With a production capacity of 3 tons per hour, it can meet the average daily feed consumption of their 10,000-head farm. Considering the fluctuating power supply in parts of South Africa, the equipment is equipped with an energy recovery system and a wide-voltage adapter (200-440V). This ensures stable operation even during voltage fluctuations, reducing energy consumption by 20% compared to traditional equipment. The machine body is treated with an anti-corrosion coating to withstand Africa’s high temperature and humidity. Key components, such as the screw and mold, are constructed from high-chromium alloy, extending their service life to over 8,000 hours and reducing maintenance frequency.

“We reviewed several brands in Europe and Asia, and this equipment’s raw material compatibility and energy efficiency best meet our needs,” the client project manager stated at the signing ceremony. South Africa’s livestock industry is transitioning from extensive to intensive farming, with increasing demands for feed conversion rates. The equipment is expected to increase livestock survival rates by 10%, shorten the farming cycle by 5-7 days, and generate approximately $120,000 in annual profits. Our technical team was fully involved throughout the entire process, from initial raw material testing to equipment parameter customization. We optimized conditioning parameters based on the local raw material moisture content (12%-14%), prepared bilingual training materials in English and Zulu for the operations team, and pledged to provide three years of free technical support and rapid replacement of consumable parts.

This partnership is not only a recognition of the quality of our equipment, but also demonstrates the competitiveness of Chinese feed equipment in the global market. We will continue to focus on the farming needs of different regions, providing more adaptable solutions and helping the global farming industry improve quality and efficiency.
