Livestock Feed Pellet Mill
RICHI Livestock Feed Pellet Mill adopts steam conditioning technology to cook, gelatinize and sterilize raw materials such as corn, soybean meal, wheat bran, alfalfa, crop straw, molasses and fermented residues. Tested in over 2,000 overseas projects worldwide, it adapts to diverse raw materials and climates across Southeast Asia, Africa, Central Asia and Europe.
According to different customer needs, RICHI designs different equipment models.
Livestock Feed Pellet Machine
Our livestock pellet mill can run independently as a single unit or be integrated into fully automatic complete feed production lines, serving large-scale farms and commercial feed mills.
Livestock feed production
- High digestion rate: Steam-cured pellets are easier for livestock to absorb, boosting growth performance.
- Easy transportation and feeding, cutting labor costs for large farms.
- Less feed waste: Dense hard pellets reduce scattering and dust during feeding.
- Long storage life: Sterilized pellets resist mold and pests without extra preservatives.
- Flexible nutrition: Mix grains, molasses and fermented residues to meet livestock’s daily nutrient demands.
Output:1.0-40.0 T/H

Equipment Structure of Livestock Pellet Mill
All structural components are produced to industrial standards, suitable for long-term continuous production.
Variable-Frequency Feeding System
Wide and thickened 304 stainless steel silo with smooth inner walls to avoid material adhesion and blockages. The variable-frequency screw feeder features stepless speed regulation, automatically adjusting feeding speed based on raw fiber content and target output. Built-in overload protection and material shortage alarms prevent jams when processing hay or sticky molasses feed. A top-mounted strong magnetic iron remover traps metal debris to safeguard ring dies and rollers and cut spare part wear.
Steam Conditioning System
Single/double/triple-layer 304 stainless steel conditioners are optional. Spiral paddles fully blend raw materials with high-temperature steam at 60–95℃ with a temperature control error of only ±2℃. Triple-layer conditioners extend material cooking time, ideal for straw and wet fermented forage. They fully gelatinize starch, eliminate harmful bacteria and soften crude fiber for better pelleting. Matched pressure-stabilizing drain valves maintain steady steam without diluting feed nutrients.
Pelletizing Extrusion Assembly
- Transmission: Hardened helical gear reducer saves power and reduces vibration compared with traditional belt drives. It avoids frequent belt replacement and boasts longer maintenance intervals.
- Forming: Wear-resistant alloy steel ring dies and thickened pressure rollers with interchangeable 2–12mm die holes. Rollers come with continuous lubrication cooling circuits; quick-release ring die design allows single-operator die change to shorten downtime for formula switching.
- Cutting: External adjustable high-speed cutters freely control pellet length, delivering neat finished pellets with minimal fines and no need for secondary screening.
Integrated Drive & Electric Control System
- IP54 high-efficiency energy-saving motors adapt to humid workshops and simple open-air plants. Independent explosion-proof electric cabinets integrate frequency converters, temperature sensors, overload protection and emergency stop functions.
- Multiple safety interlocks trigger automatic shutdown and alarms for overheating, blockages, open silo doors and material shortages. The waterproof and dustproof control cabinet runs stably in humid southern workshops and rainy overseas production sites.
Frame & Discharge Buffer Mechanism
Thickened steel base with rubber shock pads lowers operating noise and prevents frame deformation during long-duration continuous production. The widened discharge chute stops hot pellet splashing and accumulation, compatible with online coolers for full lines or material carts for standalone operation.

Core Advantages of Livestock Pellet Machine
The chicken pellet making machine possesses a range of core advantages for production applications.
RICHI Crafted, Fully Trusted.
Application Scenario of Livestock Pellet Mill
The chicken feed pellet machine grants it extensive applicability. Listed below are several typical application scenarios for your reference.
Large Self-Owned Breeding Farms
Large pig breeding bases, standardized dairy farms, beef cattle fattening farms, sheep raising bases and large-scale rabbit farms with in-house feed processing workshops. They produce pellets on-site using local corn, wheat bran, forage and crop straw, cutting transportation costs of commercial feed. Independent formula control eliminates markups from middlemen, delivering long-term cost savings for large enterprises with over 10,000 heads of livestock.
Professional Ruminant Feed Mills
Factories specializing in cattle & sheep forage, alfalfa pellets and fermented straw feed, mainly processing high-fiber raw materials such as hay, corn straw, peanut vines, bagasse and cotton stalks. Equipped with triple-layer conditioners to solve poor molding and high waste of fibrous materials, their finished pellets supply nearby small and medium ranches and forage distributors.
Medium & Small Regional Integrated Feed Plants
County and township feed processors that custom-make universal feed for pigs, cattle and sheep for nearby individual farmers and small-scale farms. The equipment switches between various formulas flexibly, with daily output ranging from dozens to hundreds of tons. It requires limited floor space, short construction cycles and minimal civil engineering investment.
Supporting Production Line
RICHI’s complete equipment lineup protects and stabilizes your production line.
Crushing
Screened raw materials are ground into qualified particle size via water drop hammer mills, vertical grinders and small crushing equipment.
Mixing
Crushed materials are fully blended with multi-type mixers (single-shaft double-layer blade mixers, twin-shaft blade mixers, etc.) per production requirements.
Pelleting
Raw materials are conveyed by variable-frequency feeders to conditioners for steam humidification and maturation, then pressed into pellets in the pelleting chamber.
Cooling
Fresh pellets are hot and soft; a counterflow cooler reduces their temperature and hardness increases for safe storage.
Screening
Fines and unqualified pellets are separated and returned for re-processing, ensuring consistent quality.
Packing
Finished pellets are weighed and packed using automatic packing machines for storage or sale.

FAQs
Should you have any questions, RICHI will provide you with professional answers.
Can one set of equipment produce both pig feed and ruminant feed for cattle and sheep? Is formula switching complicated and time-consuming?
Interchangeable alloy steel ring dies with apertures ranging from 2 mm to 12 mm allow one production line to manufacture livestock and ruminant feed. Quick-release clamps enable single-person die replacement within half an hour, and externally adjustable cutters can rapidly modify pellet length, minimizing downtime during formula changes without professional large tools.
What is the service life of wearing parts such as ring dies and rollers? Are daily maintenance costs high? How long can the reducer last?
Ring dies and rollers are forged from special wear-resistant alloy steel, more durable than ordinary carbon steel parts. The gear reducer is designed for a service life of over 15 years and only requires regular gear oil refilling. The quick-disassemble structure simplifies part replacement and lowers production loss caused by shutdown.
Do you have abundant overseas project references? Can the equipment adapt to unstable local voltage and native straw raw materials? What after-sales support is provided?
Over 2,000 global overseas projects cover Africa, Central Asia, Europe and Southeast Asia. The equipment is optimized for unstable power supply and local high-fiber raw materials such as cotton stalks with triple-layer conditioners. We offer remote technical guidance, local agent after-sales service and overseas on-site installation support.
