Oct 2019, Chia Tai Conti Group a large scale integrated animal husbandry enterprise that is jointly invested and established by the Thai Chia Tai Group and the Continental Grain Co. Ltd announced the completion of 360,000-ton high-grade livestock and poultry feed production line (PhaseII). The motive behind building a large scale feed production base in Yangjiang is to radiate the rich and developed areas of Maoming, Zhanjiang, Guangxi, and Hainan, thus amalgamating its competitive advantage in the market.
Capturing and nurturing in the Chinese Feed industry is quite difficult because there are many well-known feed enterprises at home and abroad, and the overall market production capacity, product quality and brand effect are at a high level, which poses a very high challenge for a company like Chia Tai Conti Group. Therefore, the company has put forward higher requirements for the output and equipment quality of the feed plant. In the early stages of the project, the Zheng Chang appointed a large number of first-class installation and construction engineers, who completed the feed project with an annual output of 360,000 tons within 5.5 months.
The high quality of the feed production line is not just reflected in the design layouts and installation technique, but can also be seen in the high quality and efficiency of ZhengChang’s equipment. The plant uses crushing-mixing processing technology, and the premix bin and batching scales are equipped, which can add premix and additives more accurately, reduce unnecessary loss and greatly increase production capacity. The project has 7 production lines in total, including five pelleting lines, 1 expanding line, and 1 corn extruding line. Furthermore, the project uses automatic control including automatic batching, warehousing, pelleting package, which greatly reduce the labor cost and make whole plant production data clear, which can be utilized for strategy adjustments.
The new plant will not just increase the feed production capacity of the country, but will also help in building the trust of local as well as international customers on safe and nutritious animal food produced in China. Furthermore, since the project is built on the latest technology and automation, which has reduced the feed production cost, and in turn the cost of the feed manufactured, thus setting a standard for feed manufacturers with high productions cost. The technology employed will allow the Chinese feed manufacturer to compete with international feed manufacturers.
