Core Components of animal feed pellet press
Next, let’s explore the core components of RICHI Machinery’s SZLH series feed pellet press. We design each unit with high quality materials, such as stainless steel construction, Siemens motors, and SKF bearings. The high quality configuration and perfect coordination of these core components ensure the efficient and stable operation of the animal feed pellet press. Selecting good core components not only boosts productivity but also reduces maintenance costs, which provides reliable support for your farming business.
Spindle Drive System
As the power core of the equipment, it employs high-quality alloy steel gears to ensure smooth and reliable transmission. Equipped with a forced lubrication system, it guarantees adequate cooling and lubrication for gears and bearings during high-speed operation, which prolongs service life.
Ring Die
The ring die is a critical component for pellet forming, which is made from high-quality alloy steel through precision machining. The die’s aperture size and open area ratio are scientifically calculated to ensure both production output and pellet density and forming efficiency. The surface undergoes special heat treatment for strong wear resistance.
Siemens Motors
We utilize Siemens motors as the power source, which provides reliable power support for animal feed pellet presses. Famous for their high efficiency and stable performance, Siemens motors ensure the feed pellet press maintains consistent productivity for a long time.
Feeding System
With frequency-controlled feeding, you can adjust feeding speed and volume according to your production needs to maximize the feed pellet press’s capacity.
Cutting Device
It is installed on the outer side of the ring die to cut the extruded strip material into pellets of the desired length. The blades are made of wear-resistant materials, and the pellet length can be controlled by adjusting the blade length.
Electronic Control System
It adopts touchscreen control to achieve automated equipment operation. It enables real-time monitoring of equipment status, displays critical parameters such as output and temperature, and features automatic fault diagnosis and alarm functions.
Animal Feed Pellet Press working Video
Animal feed pellet press operates on the principle of mechanical compression molding. Through processes of tempering, pressing, and forming, it transforms powdered feed ingredients into high-density pellet feed. Now we will demonstrate how the animal feed pellet press operates efficiently.

Animal Feed Pellet press Working Principle
The entire process comprises four critical steps, each directly impacting the quality and yield of the final product.
Feeding
Based on the formulation requirements for different animal feeds, the animal feed pellet press employs intelligent control to automatically adjust the feed rate. This ensures that various feed powders are mixed proportionally without disrupting production or causing congestion due to overfeeding.
Tempering
The addition of steam not only makes the raw materials easier to shape but also activates their nutritional components, which improves the digestibility and absorption rate of the feed. Simultaneously, it effectively eliminates harmful microorganisms, which makes the feed safer and more nutritious.
Extruded
This is the core step in pelleting. The blended raw materials are extruded through the special molds under pressure to form uniformly sized pellets.
Cutting
Pellets emerging from the mold form continuous strands that must be cut to the appropriate length. The cutting device precisely regulates pellet dimensions, which ensures uniform feed size. This facilitates packaging and transportation while enabling animals to consume the feed efficiently without waste.

Advantages of Animal Feed Pellet Press
We understand that selecting a animal feed pellet press is not merely choosing equipment, but selecting a long-term partner. Therefore, we pursue perfection in every detail, which reflects our deep understanding of customer value. Next, let us introduce the core advantages of our animal feed pellet press in detail.
Wide Applicability
The SZLH series animal feed pellet presses are suitable for producing feed pellets for poultry, livestock, ruminants, aquatic animals, and other animal feeds. Not only can they process a wide variety of raw materials for various animal feeds, but they also offer animal feed pellet presses with different capacities to meet your production needs.
Conducive to Storage
The pelleting process removes moisture, resulting in lower moisture content in pellet feed compared to the original material. This not only saves storage space but also prevents moisture absorption and extends shelf life. Additionally, loose feed tends to generate dust, and the reduction of dust pollution through pelleting creates a cleaner farming environment and facilitates transportation.
Enhance nutritional value and digestibility
After processing, the produced feed pellets with high hardness, smooth surface, and fully cooked interior improve the digestion and absorption of nutrients. Under high-temperature and high-pressure, harmful bacteria such as Escherichia are effectively eliminated, which makes it easier for animals to digest and absorb.
Good Appetite
Additionally, high-temperature processing provides feed with a special aroma, significantly enhancing appetite and stimulating animal appetite. This is particularly beneficial for young animals and livestock with poor appetites,which promotes healthier growth.

Full-Process Feed Pellet Production Line and Major Equipment
The feed pellet production line is a complete set of equipment capable of producing various animal feed pellets, which covers a wide range of farmed animals including chickens, cattle, sheep, shrimp, etc. With flexible production specifications and robust capacity, this line processes feed pellets ranging from 2 to 12 millimeters in size, and with an hourly output of 1 to 100 tons, which meets diverse production demands. It is suitable for applications of varying scales, including small, medium, and large feed processing enterprises and farms, which makes it an ideal solution for achieving efficient and standardized feed processing.
There are various kinds of feed pellet plant lines various from the production process, output, configuration, etc. Next, I will take the general animal feed pellet production line process as an example to explain to you.
1.Crushing- SFSP Series Water-drop Hammer Mill
First of all, it is necessary to crush the food materials which are prepared according to the formula. This not only can ensure the pelleting effect of the feed pellet press, but also can make the raw materials easier to digest and absorb by the animals.
2.Mixing– SLHJ or SLHY Series Paddle Mixer
After crushing, we need a feed mixer to mix the crushed raw materials evenly. It can make the made feed pellets nutritionally balanced, and promote the healthy growth of animals.
3. Pelleting– SZLH Series Animal Feed Pellet Press
After mixing, it comes to the most critical step—pelleting. Pelleting machine is the key equipment of the feed production line, which directly determines the output of the production line and the quality of the pellets. Therefore, the equipment selection and operation of this step must be emphasized.
4. Cooling– SKLN Series Counter Flow Cooler
The just-made feed pellets temperature and humidity are very high, can not be immediately bagged, easy to cause pellets cracked and easy to go bad. Therefore, it is necessary to utilize the cooling machine to cool the feed pellets to room temperature before packing.
5.Sifting- SCQZ Series Powder Cleaning Machine
After cooling, the mixed material is screened to remove clumps, which ensures the quality of the compound feed.
6. Packing– DCS Series Automatic Packing System
Customers can choose packing method according to their needs. Most customers choose to use automatic packing machine to pack the feed pellets in bags.
