Specialty Animal Farming
Auxiliary Equipment for Animal Feed Production
In addition to manufacturing feed pellet machines, RICHI provides a complete range of equipment covering the entire process from raw material handling to finished product packaging. Below are some common auxiliary devices used in feed production lines; you can decide whether to include them based on your specific requirements.
Raw Material Pre-Cleaning Screen
This machine uses a screen surface to separate raw materials from impurities based on size. Clean material passes through the screen apertures, while larger impurities are trapped and removed; it effectively eliminates debris such as clumps of soil, stones, and rope fragments.
Permanent Magnetic Drum
Utilizing internal permanent magnets to generate a strong magnetic field, this device captures iron-based impurities on the magnetic pole surface as material flows past, while allowing clean material to pass through unimpeded. It features a simple structure and requires no power to operate.
Feed Raw Materials Hammer Mill
This machine pulverizes raw materials—such as corn and soybean meal—through repeated high-speed impacts from rotating hammers. The output fineness can be controlled by swapping screens with different aperture sizes. The hammers are made of wear-resistant alloy, ensuring a long service life.
Rotary Distributor
An automated storage and distribution device that uses a rotating chute to precisely convey pulverized material into various batching bins. It replaces manual feeding, enhances production line automation, and is ideal for medium-to-large-scale feed production lines.
Mixer
This unit rapidly blends various raw materials, ensuring consistent nutritional composition across every batch. It offers short mixing times and a coefficient of variation (CV) of ≤5%, making it a critical piece of equipment for ensuring balanced animal nutrition.
Counter-Flow Cooler
Freshly extruded pellets are hot and have high moisture content. This machine employs the counter-flow cooling principle, directing cool air vertically through the pellets to lower their temperature to ambient levels and remove surface moisture. The cooled pellets harden quickly, facilitating storage and transport.
Vacuum Coater
Primarily used in production lines for sinking fish and shrimp feed, this machine utilizes a vacuum environment to force liquids—such as oils and additives—deep into the feed pellets. It is suitable for high-oil formulations, preventing issues like slippage or poor pellet formation caused by excessive oil content.
Vibrating Grading Screen
Driven by a vibrating motor, the screen box vibrates, causing pellets on the screen surface to be tossed up and leap forward; undersized pellets or fines are screened out, leaving behind only feed pellets of uniform size.
Feed Pellet Machine Advantages
RICHI feed pellet machines are optimized for real-world feed processing conditions, balancing production versatility, equipment durability, and finished pellet quality to meet the demands of large-scale livestock, poultry, and aquaculture feed production.
By simply changing the ring die aperture, the pellet size can be adjusted within a range of 2–12 mm to suit the dietary needs of animals at various growth stages. A single unit can produce feed pellets for livestock, poultry, and aquatic species; it is suitable for both small-batch production and integration into fully automated production lines, making it adaptable to a wide range of operational scenarios.
Wide Range of Applications
Key components—such as the ring die, press rollers, and conditioning paddles—determine the overall lifespan of an animal food pellet machine. RICHI utilizes forged conditioning paddles, while other critical parts and the main machine body are constructed from 304 stainless steel. This design minimizes component wear under demanding operating conditions and extends the machine’s total service life.
Long Service Life
Producing animal feed pellets requires gelatinization and cooking within the conditioner; requirements regarding the degree of cooking are particularly stringent for aquatic species like fish and shrimp. We have specially designed our conditioner: compared to most similar products on the market, it features a wider, longer chamber that extends the material’s retention time during conditioning, resulting in pellets with superior palatability.
High-Quality Finished Pellets
FAQ
Whether you are considering purchasing a feed pellet machine for the first time or looking to upgrade your existing production equipment, you likely have many questions. Below, we address some common inquiries from customers that we hope you find helpful.
What raw materials can the animal feed pellet making machine process?
→
Our feed pellet machines are compatible with a wide range of raw materials commonly used in animal husbandry, primarily falling into the following categories:
Grains: Wheat, corn, wheat bran, rice bran, etc.
Oilseed meals/cakes: Soybean meal, rapeseed meal, cottonseed meal, peanut meal, palm kernel meal, etc.
Animal and plant proteins: Fish meal, bone meal, silkworm pupa meal, etc.
Crude fiber sources: Alfalfa meal, straw meal, forage grass meal, distillers’ grains, spent mushroom substrate, etc.
Plus various premixes, fermented mixtures, and functional additive blends.
How should I choose the production capacity? Is bigger always better?
→
Not necessarily. Production capacity directly impacts efficiency. Before selecting a specific model, you should assess your daily output requirements; choosing a capacity that is too low can hinder production schedules, while one that is too large increases equipment costs and energy consumption. We recommend estimating your required hourly output based on actual daily production needs and then allowing for some extra capacity. This facilitates future business expansion should you need to scale up production.
What causes fines (broken pellets) during the pelleting process?
→
This can be attributed to several factors: excessively low raw material moisture content, improper adjustment of the ring die compression ratio, or insufficient conditioning time (leading to inadequate cooking/gelatinization).
When raw material moisture is properly controlled, RICHI feed pellet maker machines virtually eliminate the issue of fines in the finished product. If you are unsure about the specific parameter settings, please contact us for professional support to minimize fines at the source and improve the quality rate of your feed pellets.
Our operators have no prior experience; can they quickly learn how to operate the machine?
→
Certainly. After shipping the feed pellet machine, we will dispatch a dedicated engineer to your facility to provide on-site installation guidance. Once installation is complete, we will conduct testing and provide in-person training for your operators—covering theoretical knowledge, operational procedures, and troubleshooting—to ensure the machine runs smoothly.
What is the warranty period for the animal feed pelletizer?
→
We offer a 12-month warranty. During this period, provided the damage is not caused by human error, you can contact us for remote assistance or on-site repairs. Should issues arise with wear parts such as ring dies or rollers, you can contact our after-sales team at any time to order replacements; we maintain a large inventory of genuine spare parts.
