Product Information
Pig Feed Pellet Machine
Capacity: 1-40 T/H
The RICHI pig feed pellet machine produces high-quality feed for pigs at different growth stages. It takes powdered, granular, and liquid ingredients and processes them through several steps to create nutritious, top-grade feed. The pig feed machine is built from high-quality carbon steel and stainless steel—so it’s solid, runs smoothly, and lasts a long time.
Main Components of Pig Feed Pellet Machine
How to make pig feed？What makes pig feed better? It’s all about the core parts. Think of it like the human body—every organ has to work together to stay healthy. Same here. Each system has its own job, and they’ve got to run smoothly to produce high-quality pellets consistently. We’ve broken down the complex structure into simple terms so you can see at a glance why it’s durable, efficient, and delivers great output.
Feeding System
The first step in making pig feed pellets is getting the raw materials into the machine—steadily and evenly. That’s the feeding system’s job.
It handles ingredients like soybean meal, corn, and wheat bran, making sure nothing clogs up and the feed rate doesn’t jump around. It comes with a frequency converter, so you can adjust the speed yourself. Want faster or slower? Up to you. That way, you don’t waste material or let the machine run idle and wear out.
Conditioning System
After the raw materials are ground and mixed, you can’t just press them into pellets right away. First, they need to go through conditioning. This step directly affects how palatable, digestible, and shelf-stable the feed is.
Think of the conditioning system as a “cooking workshop” for the feed. The mixed ingredients get heated, which gelatinizes the starches fully. That makes the feed easier for pigs to digest and absorb. Plus, the heat kills bacteria, mold, parasites—all that bad stuff. So you get safer feed, too.
Pelletizing System
This is the most critical part of the whole machine. It decides the pellet size, uniformity, and how dense they are.
RICHI’s pig feed pellet machine uses an industry-leading double-roller design. The two rollers spin together, apply even pressure, and force the conditioned material out through the ring die holes. Then a cutter slices it into pellets that are all the same length and size.
Compared to single-roller machines, the double-roller setup gives you more even force and steadier output. No more half-dense, half-loose pellets. The pellets come out just the right size—easy for pigs to eat and swallow, no choking, no waste. Works great for piglets, fattening pigs, and every stage in between.
Drive System
Every machine needs power, and the drive system is what gives the pig feed making machine steady power and lets you control the pressure.
The main motor is the heart of the drive system. We use Siemens motors. They’re powerful, run stable, use little energy, and last a long time.
The main motor provides the initial torque for the ring die and rollers, keeping everything running normally. You can also adjust the current and voltage to change the pelletizing pressure. More pressure gives you denser, harder pellets; less pressure makes them a bit looser—better for piglets with weaker digestion. So you can tweak the pellet density based on your formula, moisture content, and what your pigs need.
Parameters of Pig Feed Pellet Machine
These days, the people making pig feed vary a lot—from small family farms to medium-sized pig operations to large feed manufacturers. Therefore, we have designed and developed different models of pig feed pellet machines to meet the needs of customers of different sizes. The data in the table below are the relevant parameters of our pig feed pellet mills.

Product Advantages
Our products are sold to more than 140 countries and regions worldwide. Why do so many customers choose our pig feed machine? The reason lies in their durability, ease of operation, affordability, and high feed production speed.
The worst thing in farming? Equipment breaking down and stopping production. For a small farm, that hurts the pigs’ growth directly. For a big feed producer, it messes up the whole schedule and eats into profits. That’s why we build our machines to the highest standards—from the base materials to every single component. We want our customers to use them for years, with fewer repairs, and keep production running.
RICHI’s pig feed pellet machine is made of 304 stainless steel—anti-corrosion, rust-proof, and wear-resistant. Even in humid, dusty farm environments, it won’t rust. The conditioner paddles are forged, so they’re super hard and don’t warp easily. The main motor is Siemens—reliable power, low energy use. The whole frame is reinforced, so it runs without shaking or weird noises. No worries about breakdowns. It’ll keep running all year, no interruptions to feeding or output.
Trouble-Free and Durable
Lots of customers worry: “My raw materials are all different, my formulas are complicated—will the machine be a pain to use?” RICHI’s pig feed pellet machine can completely dispel this concern.
The feeder has variable-frequency control. You decide the feed speed—fast or slow. That keeps the feed uniform, prevents clogs, and avoids idle running. Inside, the double-roller design handles regular stuff like corn, soybean meal, wheat bran, and crop stalks with no problem. And you can adjust the gap between the cutter and the ring die to control pellet length.
Strong Adaptability
Most customers make their own feed for one main reason: better nutrient utilization, less waste, and lower costs. That’s exactly what we keep in mind when designing our pellet machines.
The conditioner in RICHI pig feed pellet mills has a thicker and longer tube than most conditioners on the market. This allows for thorough gelatinization and sterilization of the raw materials, while locking in proteins, vitamins, and other nutrients, resulting in high-quality pig feed.The pellets from the double-roller setup are dense but not too hard—they don’t break easily during transport or feeding, and they don’t create dust. Plus, the machine runs fast, the output is steady, and it’s more efficient than ordinary machines in the same amount of time.

How to choose the right pig feed pellet machine?
→
It depends on your farm size, capacity needs, and power supply.
If you have fewer than 20 pigs, you probably don’t need a pellet machine at all. To estimate capacity, multiply your daily feed requirement by 1.2 as a buffer—then pick a model that matches. That way, you avoid overcapacity or shortages.
For power: small models with 1–2 tons per day usually run on 220V single-phase—just plug into a household circuit. Medium and large models (over 5 tons per day) need 380V three-phase power to run stably at high output.
Look at these three factors, and you’ll narrow down the right models. Need more precise selection? Just contact us.
