Feed mill equipment sourcing for Crete

Requests usually come from feed producers planning a new mill, operators upgrading one section of an existing line, and farms or integrators that want to make their own feed instead of importing finished feed. Typical equipment scope:

  • Intake, cleaning and raw-material storage (silos, flat stores, conveyors).
  • Grinding (hammer or roller mills) and batching/dosing.
  • Mixing, liquid addition and premix handling.
  • Conditioning, pelleting, cooling and crumbling.
  • Extrusion lines for aquafeed or pet food.
  • Finished-feed bins, bagging, palletising and bulk loadout.
  • Automation, dust control, steam and compressed-air utilities.

For buying finished feed or ingredients instead, use the feed supply request.

Conditions on Crete that affect the equipment

  • Summer heat management.
  • Water scarcity in central Crete.
  • Ferry-dependent logistics.
  • Seasonal demand peaks.
  • High temperatures: check motor and drive ratings, building ventilation and cooler sizing for summer air conditions.
  • Delivery by sea via Heraklion or Chania: plan container-sized modules, a spare-parts stock on site and remote commissioning support.

Ask every supplier to state the design conditions, utilities and spare-parts assumptions behind their offer, so quotes for Crete can be compared on the same basis.

What to put in your RFQ

  • Target capacity (tonnes per hour) and operating hours.
  • Feed types and forms: mash, pellet, crumble or extruded.
  • Main raw materials, how they arrive (bulk vessel, container, bags) and the storage days you need.
  • Available power, steam and water at the site, and the building or land available.
  • Scope to quote: supply only, supervision, or installed and commissioned; spare parts and training.
  • Budget range, timeline, delivery port (Heraklion) and preferred Incoterm.
