what‘s alfalfa and alfalfa pellets?

Alfalfa is a high-quality pasture for feeding all kinds of livestock and poultry, but unprocessed alfalfa hay is inconvenient to transport, wastes a lot, and the utilization rate is not high, which is a great limitation to the use of alfalfa.

After alfalfa is granulated, its original woody structure is destroyed to varying degrees. Grass volume decreases, palatability increases, and feed conversion improves. The source of feed raw materials is increased, and the problem of insufficient forage in winter is solved.

Features of alfalfa pellets:

  • Alfalfa pellets have small dust, hard and brittle texture, moderate pellet size, good for chewing, strong palatability, and increase animal feed intake;
  • It is convenient for mechanized feeding or automatic trough application, reducing labor intensity and waste;
  • Small size, storage-resistant, easy to transport;
  • With high nutritional value, it can replace part of the concentrate and increase breeding benefits.

Alfalfa haystack

If your raw material is a hay bale, haystack, cylindrical or cubic, it doesn’t matter. You just need to use a shredder or bale breaker to roughly crush the bale, and then use a forage grinder to crush the material into grass powder.

If the raw material contains impurities, such as stones, cigarette butts, etc., you also need to clean the material after breaking it. Screen out the impurities.

Loose Alfalfa Hay

For this type of raw material, after the impurities in the original material are screened out, it can be directly put into the forage grinder for crushing and then granulating. If the moisture content is higher than 20%, it needs to be dried before crushing.

Fresh Grass

Nowadays, more and more customers use fresh grass. For this kind of raw material, it needs to be dried first. Then, according to the state of the grass (wet bales or loose wet grass), decide how to configure the corresponding crushing system.

Alfalfa powder

If your raw material is clean alfalfa meal, then you do not need any raw material processing equipment. However, some customers’ alfalfa meal contains impurities, then a cleaning screen is needed to screen out the impurities and obtain qualified raw materials.

The crushed and mixed material to be granulated enters the pressing chamber through the speed-regulating feeder and forced feeder from the silo. Through the gravity of the material itself, the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the ring die and the action of the feeding scraper, it is evenly fed into the two pressing zones in the ring die.

Because the minimum gap between the pressure roller and the inner wall of the ring die is only 0~0.15 mm, when the rotation of the ring die drives the pressure roller to rotate relatively, the material is gradually compacted and squeezed into the die hole of the ring die.

It is formed in the die hole and continuously extruded in a columnar shape from the discharge end of the die hole. The pellets are then cut into desired lengths by a cutter.

This is a small capacity alfalfa pellet production line, the output is 0.8-1.2t/h. The customer uses alfalfa and straw mixed pellets. The pellets processed by this project will be sold to surrounding cattle farms.

Based on the prospects of ruminant feed processing, this large ruminant feed processing project was invested and built.

The client of this project is from the United States and runs his own large cattle farm. As the scale of breeding continues to expand, feed consumption is also increasing. So the client invested 560,000 US dollars to build this 10-15t/h cattle feed production line, which can also be called a grass pellet production line. The customer uses 70% alfalfa hay as raw materials.

This process flow chart comes from one of our alfalfa pellet machine for sale UK projects. The customer uses fresh grass as raw material. Among them, fresh grass includes alfalfa, vanilla and timothy grass. In this project, grass accounts for 100%.

This process flow chart is from our latest alfalfa pellet machine for sale Venezuela project. The customer uses fresh grass with a moisture content of more than 50% as raw material. This project processes 100% pure alfalfa pellets. Due to the large output of this project, multiple crushers, dryers and alfalfa pelletizers are configured.

This process flow chart is from our alfalfa pellet machine for sale Canada project, where the customer uses a variety of hay as raw materials. This is a manual production line, where the customer manually adds the premix and grass powder into the mixer. This project uses a CZLH678 alfalfa pellet machine. According to customer needs, the design of the entire process is relatively simple and the investment cost is low.

This process flow chart is from our alfalfa pellet machine for sale Bangladesh project. The customer uses a variety of formula types, and the proportion of alfalfa grass will change flexibly. Sometimes a whole grain formula is used, and sometimes a pure grass formula is used. Therefore, this is a production line with a very large output span. This production line adopts a horizontal structure. This is based on the limited height of the customer’s plant, so we configured a screw conveyor solution to reduce the overall height.

In the processing of forage pellet feed, special processing equipment should be used to crush, mix and pellet the forage. When producing grass pellet products, according to the size of the pasture and the actual situation, choose to use the pellet machine directly, or choose to use the grass pellet making machine in combination with other equipment to avoid reducing production efficiency. Beside the lucerne pellet mill, following machines are in an alfalfa pellet line:
