Feed production, storage and handling equipment
Storage and handling equipment
Silos, raw-material storage and bulk conveying for ingredients and finished feed.
What should a feed storage or handling RFQ cover?
State the materials and volumes to be stored, the bulk or bagged receiving pattern, conveying capacity and product-damage limits, site and foundation conditions, and ask for conformity documents, warranty terms and how cleaning and temperature monitoring are handled. Plant and equipment projects start from about USD 250,000.

Product types (2)
- No supplier offer documented
Silos & Raw-Material Storage
Quote silos on live capacity in tonnes at the bulk density of your worst-flowing ingredient, plus roof and wind loading, aeration, level sensing and discharge type — capacity in m³ alone tells you nothing.
- No supplier offer documented
Bulk Conveying & Material Handling
Quote conveying at 1.2–1.5× your peak mill rate for each leg, stating t/h, centre distance, material and moisture, plus aspiration and explosion-safety scope — under-sized handling throttles the whole plant.

Bulk bins for solid ingredients
Best fit when: When grains and oil meals arrive in bulk.
Check carefully: Include cleaning (scalping) before storage and temperature monitoring in the scope.

Bulk liquid tanks (oils, molasses)
Best fit when: When oils or molasses are delivered in bulk.
Check carefully: Ask how storage temperature is held and how filter screens are accessed for checks.

Dry store for bagged ingredients
Best fit when: When ingredients arrive in sacks rather than bulk loads.
Check carefully: Plan rodent and insect protection and first-in, first-out rotation.

What a supplier must document
FeedMatch asks for these before an offer is presented to you. Anything a supplier has not documented stays marked as missing — it is never estimated.
- Storage capacity and material specification
- Foundation, site and installation requirements
- Conveying capacity and product damage limits
- Conformity documents and warranty terms
