Frequently Asked Questions
–
What raw materials can the feed pellet machine process? And can one machine produce different pellet?
A modern feed pellet machine is designed to process a wide variety of raw materials commonly used in the production of poultry, livestock, ruminant and aquatic feed.
These materials include corn, wheat, soybean meal, rice bran, cottonseed meal, alfalfa, grass, straw, peanut shells, cassava, fish meal, shrimp meal, vitamins, minerals, premixes and other powdered or fibrous ingredients. Whether your feed formula contains high protein, high fiber, or a mixture of agricultural by-products, the machine can handle it efficiently as long as the materials are properly crushed and moisture is well controlled.
Yes, one machine can produce different pellet sizes. By changing the ring die (or flat die) or adjusting the cutter, you can easily make pellets of different diameters. Larger pellets are suitable for cattle and sheep, medium pellets are ideal for poultry, and smaller pellets are used for aquatic species or young animals.This flexibility allows one unit to meet various production requirements without the need to buy multiple machines.

How To Make Fish Feed Pellet?
The most commonly used equipment in the production of aquatic animal pellet feed is the fish feed extruder which can produce expanded fish pellet feed.
By using different types of screws to control the density of finished fish pellets, the fish feed extruder can produce floating and sinking fish feeds according to the feeding characteristics and habits of fish. The expansion heating process can kill some pathogenic bacteria and most viruses, thus reducing the level of toxins in feed materials.
The fish feed extruder can produce aquatic feeds with different particle sizes and shapes. And these feeds can remain stable in water for a long time, so it can reduce the waste of feed nutrition. The fish feed extruder can produce aquatic animal feed that is more resistant to mechanical damage, thus reducing the amount of fine powder produced during transportation.
Recently, more and more people are using fish feed extruders. If you have the intention, please contact us.

How Does A Feed Pellet Machine Work?
The rapid development of the aquaculture and feed industry has greatly promoted the development and progress of feed machinery. Equipment such as feed pellet making machines have become more and more widely used, and technological breakthroughs have also been made. After being made into feed pellets, nutrition is not lost, the surface of pellets is smoother, the hardness is more suitable for animal digestion, and it can kill harmful microorganisms in the feed, making it ideal equipment to reduce breeding costs and improve economic benefits.
The process of granulation is to remove iron from the powdered material through the permanent magnet sleeve, and then send it into the conditioner through the variable frequency feeder. The powder is mixed with the steam added. At this time, the feed moisture is reached 15%-17% and the temperature is about 80℃. After the process, the materials are sent into the pelletizing chamber. Then the powder is pressed into pellets by the ring die and the press roller, and the produced feed pellets are sent out of the machine through the feeding disc. Then, the cutter installed outside the die is used to cut pellets at an appropriate length, and the position of the cutter can be adjusted to control the length of the pellets.

How To Choose the right Animal Feed Pellet Machine?
Choosing the right feed pellet machine involves evaluating your raw materials, target animals, required pellet specifications and production scale. For small and medium farms, a lower-capacity machine may be sufficient, but for commercial feed mills, choosing the correct production range is critical. Modern industrial pellet machines—such as the 1–40T/H models provided by RICHI—are suitable for poultry, livestock, ruminant and aquatic feed production on a professional level.
First, define your production demand. If your daily output is less than 20 tons, a 1–10T/H machine is usually enough. For large-scale feed plants, 10–40T/H models offer better efficiency and cost performance.
Second, consider the type of raw materials you use. High-fiber materials (grass, straw) require strong conditioning and suitable compression ratios, while high-protein formulas (fish meal, soybean meal) need precise temperature and moisture control.
Ensure the machine can produce multiple pellet sizes by easily changing the ring die. Also evaluate automation level, electricity consumption, maintenance cost, and the availability of spare parts. Finally, choose a supplier with strong technical support. A reputable manufacturer like RICHI can provide engineering solutions, installation guidance and after-sales services, ensuring long-lasting performance and a high return on investment.

We have a dairy farm and want to produce cattle feed pellets, what capacity is suitable?
For cattle feed processing plant, the capacity of the feed pellet machine should match the daily feed consumption of the cows, which is approximately 6 kg per cow per day. For example, if there are 2000 cows, the daily feed requirement is 2000 * 6 kg = 12 tons. If the machine operates for 6 hours per day, we recommend our SLZH250, which has a capacity of 1-2 tons per hour and can fully meet your needs.
