Production Process of Pellets
If you want to produce high‑quality pellets, you usually need a complete production line. So what processes does that line need to include? Below we list some common pellet production processes, in the order they typically appear.
Core Machines in Pellet Production Line
We have a variety of equipment that can be used in the pellet production line. Each of them has a different function. If you have any special requirements, you can also contact us for customization.
It uses high-speed rotating hammers to crush and shear materials into small pieces. The hammers are made of tungsten carbide and can be replaced with one side after wear. The equipment also has a screen inside to control the output pellet size, making it a high-speed impact crusher.
Pallet crushing machines can be used in timber production lines. Their wide inlet pallets allow for easy transport of large, whole pieces of timber (such as waste wooden pallets and building templates) into the machine, where they are shredded into smaller pieces that are easier to transport and process.
Similar to a pallet shredder, it’s primarily used in the pre-processing stage of a production line. Its high-speed rotating blades cut large pieces of wood, such as logs, branches, and bark, into uniformly sized chips, reducing the burden on subsequent shredding equipment. Note that it cannot be used to process wood with nails or other metal parts; for such cases, a pallet shredder is recommended.
Its cylindrical body contains many blades that repeatedly toss the material up, allowing it to come into full contact with the high-temperature hot air for rapid drying. It is more suitable for loose, high-temperature resistant materials and is a continuous, dynamic drying equipment.
A continuous static drying device. You can spread the material evenly on the metal mesh belt, which will move slowly, allowing hot air to pass vertically through the material layer. It is suitable for sheet-like, strip-shaped, heat-sensitive, and uniform materials.
There are several key components in a pellet machine, namely the ring die roller and the cutter. They work together to forcefully compress powdery materials and extrude them into cylindrical strips through a ring die with a certain aperture. The cutter then cuts the strips into uniform lengths, producing pellets with high density and good appearance.
It can be used to make high-end aquatic animal feed and pet food. Its main principle is to extrude the material instantly through high temperature and high pressure in the extrusion chamber. The produced aquatic feed can float for a long time without disintegrating. For pet food, the opening of the ring die can be changed to make food of different shapes.
Rotary Grading Screen
If you want to remove some granular crushed material, you can use a rotary classifier. Many customers use it in their production lines to screen pellets after the pelleting and cooling process. It has a simple structure, runs smoothly, and can be configured with several layers of screens with different apertures to achieve multi-stage stratified screening.
Mixing Machine
A mixer is typically placed after crushing and drying but before pelleting. As the name suggests, its main function is to mix materials. It thoroughly mixes various crushed and dried raw materials in a specific ratio, resulting in a more balanced composition of fibers and nutrients. The uniformity of mixing directly affects the quality of the finished pellets. If your production line uses multiple raw materials, it will definitely be a great help.
Bale Breaker
This machine is commonly used in production lines containing raw materials like straw and hay. These materials are often bundled and compacted, requiring baling and breaking them up for easier feeding into the production line. The baler uses rotating blades to break up the baling ropes and break up the compacted material, preventing clumps and blockages.
Vacuum Spraying Machine
Vacuum spraying machines are mainly used in the production of aquatic feed and high-end pet food. They can quickly and evenly spray liquids such as oils onto the surface of pellets in a vacuum environment, based on negative pressure penetration. This step is to supplement the finished product with nutrients and ensure that nutrients are not easily lost.
Cooling Machine
Whether producing livestock feed, aquatic feed, or biomass pellets, they are usually produced at high temperatures from the pelleting equipment. Some pellets, after undergoing steam conditioning, may also have a high moisture content. The cooler, using a counter-current airflow cooling process, allows cold air to pass through the pellets from bottom to top, cooling them, removing excess moisture, and preventing the finished product from molding or cracking.

FAQ
Surely when you are familiarizing yourself with the production line equipment, you will have many questions. We have listed some common issues, which might help you clarify your doubts.
What is the production capacity of a single pellets line?
→
We can customize the pellet production line according to your raw materials and usage scenarios. Ranging from hundreds of kilos up to dozens of tons per hour of production capacity can be achieved.
Can the granulators for different raw materials be used interchangeably in the pellet processing line?
→
The properties of different raw materials are different. The same model can be slightly compatible with different raw materials by replacing the ring die and the press roller. For raw materials with drastically different properties (such as feed, wood chips, and organic fertilizers), it is not recommended to use the same model. You can select based on samples.
Are there strict requirements for the workshop height and floor load capacity of the pellet production line?
→
The complete equipment has fixed floor area and height requirements. We will clearly mark them in the layout diagram sent to you in advance. If your factory has restrictions, we can also try to customize and adjust as needed.
What is the power consumption of the equipment? How large of a transformer do we need to equip for the pellet making line?
→
This needs to be calculated based on the total power of the entire pellet production line. During the quotation stage, we will attach the power parameters of the entire machine to help you select the power distribution facilities.
What is the average service life of the wear parts such as ring die and press rollers?
→
Due to the different hardness of the raw materials processed by different customers, the service life of the press rollers and ring dies will vary. Generally, the ring dies of feed granulators can be used for several thousand hours, while wood chips and other coarse fiber raw materials will wear out more quickly.
