A pig breeding company in Lviv region has decided to build its own feed mill, according to KMZ Industries, which will supply elevator equipment for the plant.
According to the report, to ensure the storage capacity for the necessary raw materials and their further processing into compound feed, two cone silos with a total capacity of 1,020 tons for barley and wheat will be installed, one silo with a capacity of 143 tons for corn, and two silos with a capacity of 41 tons each for soybean and sunflower meal.
“Products from all silos will be fed in specific proportions to the feed line according to the recipe for further production of feed for pigs, chickens, etc. The capacity of the first line of the plant will be 2 tons/hour. In the future, it is planned to increase it to 10 tons/hour in order to produce feed not only for its own pig farm, but also for sale on the domestic market,” said Anton Goncharuk, regional representative of KMZ Industries.
For the transportation of agricultural products, a bucket elevator and three chain conveyors with a capacity of 50 tons/hour were selected, as well as five screw conveyors for feeding raw materials directly to the feed mill.
KMZ Industries is the largest manufacturer of elevator equipment in Ukraine and produces a full range of products, including silos, grain dryers, transport equipment, and separators, as well as providing automation and installation services.
According to the company, it has built more than 5,000 facilities. KMZ Industries silos with a total volume of more than 12.5 million cubic meters are currently in operation.
