Goat Feed Pellet Making Machine
The RICHI goat feed pellet making machine is a specialized machine that transforms mixed sheep feed materials( For example, pasture grass, straw, and concentrate feed) into pellets through high-temperature and high-pressure extrusion.
Production Of Goat Feed Pellet Making Machine
RICHI offers customized sheep feed pellet machines with capacities ranging from 1 to 45 tons per hour to meet diverse requirements.
With the increasing scale of sheep farming, many breeders face challenges such as high feed costs and management difficulties. If feed formulations are unscientific, it can lead to feed wastage and poor growth in the flock, further increasing the pressure of costs. The growing number of sheep also makes disease prevention and herd management more complex. The goat feed pellet making machine offers a solution to solve these difficulties.
The RICHI goat feed pellet making machine is a specialized machine that transforms mixed sheep feed materials into pellets through high-temperature and high-pressure extrusion. This process not only alters the physical form of the feed but also improves the quality of the feed through maturing.It can enhance feed utilization, reduce waste, and be easy to store and transport. It also can eliminate some harmful microorganisms during the pelleting process, which reduces the risk of disease in sheep and promotes their healthy growth. Because of the robust construction and key components made from wear-resistant materials, the machine delivers excellent stability, low failure rates, and a very long service life, which is the preferred equipment for many professional sheep feed manufacturers.
Classification Of Goat Feed Pellet Making Machine
RICHI goat feed making machine are classified into two types: one is SZLH series goat feed pellet making machine, and the other is CZLH series goat feed pellet making machine specifically designed for ruminants.
SZLH Series Goat Feed Pellet Making Machine
RICHI Machinery’s SZLH Series Goat Feed Pellet Making Machine not only can produce sheep feed pellets but also is suitable for manufacturing feed pellets for poultry, livestock, ruminants, aquatic animals, and other animal feeds. When feed formulations primarily consist of grains such as corn, wheat, and soybean meal, we recommend selecting the SZLH series sheep feed pellet machine. This equipment can achieve higher grinding fineness and greater pellet density.
CZLH Series Goat Feed Pellet Making Machine
RICHI Machinery’s CZLH Series Goat Feed Pellet Making Machine is only designed for producing ruminant animal feed pellets primarily from grass meal and raw grains. When the raw material primarily consists of high-fiber formulations such as straw, alfalfa, and pasture grass, a feed pellet mill with greater compression capacity is required. It is recommended to select the CZLH series sheep feed pellet machine.

Core Components Display
The core components of a goat feed pellet making machine form the foundation for its efficient and stable operation. These components work together to accomplish the task of compressing powdered feed into pellets.
Feeding System
The feeder is a device that uniformly conveys powdered raw materials into the conditioner at a setting output rate. The feeding speed can be precisely adjusted through a variable motor, which controls the output of the sheep feed at the setting rate.
Cutting Device
The cutting device consists of uniformly distributed blades. By adjusting the distance between the blades and the outer surface of the ring die, the length of the pellets can be controlled to produce feed pellets of the desired specifications.
Conditioner
The conditioner achieves raw material maturing by thoroughly blending steam and liquid additives with the raw materials under high temperature and pressure. This process not only enhances pellet formation rates but also improves digestion and nutrient absorption of the sheep herd.
Ring Die
Ring dies are extremely hard and wear-resistant. The diameter of the die holes determines the pellet size, typically ranging from 6 to 10 mm to match sheep’s feeding habits. The aspect ratio directly affects pellet hardness, production output, and energy consumption.
Test Run Video
The goat feed pellet making machine is specifically designed for modern goat farms and animal feed mills, it meets the feed production needs of goats at different scales and growth stages. We can see that the RICHI goat feed pellet making machine produces pellet feed with a smooth surface, uniform size, and good formation.
RICHI MACHINERY
Working Principle
The production process of the RICHI goat feed pellet making machine can be divided into four key steps: feeding, conditioning, pelleting and cutting, which converts powdered feed ingredients into high density pellet feed.
Feeding
Powdered compound feed is uniformly and steadily conveyed into the conditioner by the feeder according to the preset output. The sheep feed pellet machine employs intelligent control to automatically adjust the feeding rate, which ensures that different types of feed powders are mixed proportionally.
Conditioning
Within the conditioner, the material mixes thoroughly with directly injected steam. This process makes it easier to extrude into shape, and thus reduces wear on the ring die and press rollers as well as lowers energy consumption. The feed after heat treatment also develops an aroma, which increases sheep’s interest in eating.
Pelleting
The pelleting chamber features a ring die driven by a motor to rotate at high speed, which works in conjunction with two fixed internal rollers. Under the combined pressure and friction from the rollers and ring die, the raw material is compressed and shaped within the die holes, then extruded out through the outer surface of the ring die.
Cutting
The extruded cylindrical strands from the ring die are cut into required lengths by the cutting device. The rotational speed of the cutter is adjustable, and the final pellet length can also be controlled by adjusting the distance between the cutter and the outer surface of the ring die.
How to choose an appropriate sheep feed pellet mill?
Selecting an appropriate feed pellet machine is a significant investment decision that requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors.
1.Determine production scale and capacity requirements
- To meet self-use needs: daily output within 1-2 tons.
- For medium-scale operations: daily output of 5-10 tons.
- For commercial production: daily output exceeding 10 tons requires large-scale automated production lines.
2.Specify raw material composition
If the feed primarily consists of refined ingredients like corn and soybean meal, goat feed pellet making machine can handle it effectively. If the feed mainly comprises coarse materials such as alfalfa meal or straw meal, it is necessary to select a machine with high roller pressure and a high die hole compression ratio.
3.Inspect the machine’s core components
Even within the same machine type, quality can be much different. It is best to choose materials made of high-quality alloy steel and opt for branded motors and bearings whenever possible, such as Siemens motors and SKF bearings.
4.Determine Suppliers and After-Sales Service
It is important to cooperate with a factory specializing in the production of sheep feed pellet mill. If possible, it is the most direct way to test the machine’s performance by bringing raw materials for an on-site test run. Additionally, we should confirm whether after-sales service, training, and warranty services are provided.

The lower the forage content in goat feed, the higher the output of the goat feed pellet making machine. This is because grass meal typically has high fiber content. When passing through the die holes of the ring die, these long fibers generate significant friction, which prevents the material from passing through smoothly. Therefore, under the same conditions, the output of CZLH Series Goat Feed Pellet Making Machine is lower than that of SZLH Series Goat Feed Pellet Making Machine.
Advantages of Goat Feed Pellet Making Machine
Goat feed pellet making machines compact traditional powdered or mixed feed into pellets, which brings multiple significant advantages to sheep farming.
Convenient for Storage and Transportation
Pelleted feed has a 1.5 to 2 times higher density than powdered feed, thus we can save a lot of space during storage and transportation. A single vehicle can carry more feed, so the transportation cost is reduced. At the same time, pelleted feed is less prone to clumping and mold growth, so it has a longer shelf life.
Shortening the Farming Cycle
Due to improved nutrient absorption efficiency and more regular feeding, the growth rate of the sheep flock has significantly accelerated, with weight increasing at a steady pace, which improves the commercial value of the farming products.
Wide Applicability
RICHI sheep feed pellet machine can not only produce pellets for sheep of different types and growth stages, but also produce pellet feed for various animals such as chickens, ducks, pigs, and cattle.
Improving Feed Quality
As ruminants, sheep have strict dietary requirements for the balance of crude fiber and concentrate feed. Pelleted feed tightly binds all ingredients, which completely solves the grading issues caused by varying densities in powdered feed. This ensures every mouthful provides sheep with nutritional feed, and avoids nutritional imbalances caused by selective eating.
Improving Appetite
Tempering during pelleting will make the starch gelatinize, which produces a light aroma that significantly boosts the appetite of sheep. For some ingredients that are nutritionally valuable but have poor appetite, the acceptability of sheep will also be greatly increased after being made into pellets.
High Level of Automation
Equipped with an automatic system including feeding, tempering and pelleting, its simple operation significantly reduces the labor costs and time costs, which is especially suitable for large-scale sheep farms.

Goat Feed Production Line
RICHI goat feed pellet making machines offer capacities ranging from 1 ton per hour to 45 tons per hour, suitable for sheep feed pellet production lines with outputs of 1-72T/H. Below is the process flow for a 3-4 T/H ruminant feed pellet production line.
1.Cleaning Stage
Corn, soybean meal, bran, grass powder, premix, and other raw materials are cleaned through a material separation screen. This process removes impurities such as hemp rope and stones to protect downstream equipment.
2.Crushing Stage
Larger raw materials (such as corn and grains) require grinding in a crusher to achieve an appropriate particle size, which is beneficial for sheep digestion and absorption. Particles that are too coarse are difficult to form into pellets, while particles that are too fine can impair the sheep’s rumination function.
3.Mixing Process
The crushed ingredients must be thoroughly mixed with a feed mixer to ensure the final feed pellets are nutritionally balanced, which promotes healthy growth in animals. This approach ensures optimal pellet formation in the goat feed pellet making machine while also making the raw materials easier for animals to digest and absorb.
4.Pelleting Stage
The mixed powder enters the conditioner. Under high temperature and pressure, the powder is thoroughly blended. It then enters the pelleting chamber, where material is forced through a ring die by rollers under great pressure. Finally it comes to compact cylindrical pellets.
5.Cooling Stage
Freshly produced feed pellets are highly warm and moist, which can not be immediately bagged as it may cause pellet breakage. Thus, a cooler is used to cool the pellets to room temperature, so that the pellets become hard and suitable for storage.
6.Screening Stage
The cooled pellets contain some powder and undersized particles. These are separated by a vibrating screen. Qualified pellets will go to the next process, while powder is returned to the goat feed making machine for reprocessing. Oversized particles are either sent back to the crusher or discarded as waste.
