Designing an Integrated Feed Mill System for Top Chix
Developing a storage-to-milling concept to support efficient livestock feed production.
Top Chix operates within the livestock feeding sector, where efficient feed preparation and distribution are essential to maintaining consistent production outcomes.
As part of planned operational development, the business required a feed mill concept that could support bulk grain storage, milling, and batching while integrating with existing site operations and downstream shed infrastructure.
The Client
The Problem
Top Chix required a clear feed mill concept that would support the full workflow from bulk grain storage through to milling and batch feed distribution.
The design needed to account for multiple stages of material handling while ensuring the system could integrate with site infrastructure and future operational requirements. A well-structured concept layout was required to enable accurate project costings and coordination with downstream site works.
The Solution
AFSystems worked with Top Chix to develop an integrated feed mill concept that aligned with the operational needs of the livestock feeding operation.
The design focused on creating an efficient storage-to-mill-to-batching workflow that could support consistent feed preparation while allowing the client to move forward confidently with project planning and site coordination.
The Outcome
AFSystems developed a detailed concept layout to support the proposed feed mill infrastructure, including:
- Bulk grain storage silo arrangement
- Chain elevators and conveying interfaces
- Trough augers and chain conveyors for grain transfer
- Cleaner collection systems
- Mill infeed configuration and batching integration
The concept provided a clear system framework for further engineering design, cost estimation, and coordination with site development plans.
The integrated feed mill concept was successfully delivered and reviewed with the client.
The proposed layout provided Top Chix with a clear design basis to proceed with detailed planning, project costings, and downstream coordination across their site infrastructure.
This concept stage established a practical and scalable foundation for the future feed mill development.
Client Experience with AFS
“Concept looks great. Happy to move forward with the detail on this basis.”
