ANIMAL FEED PELLET MAKING MACHINE FOR SALE

The output and quality are directly controlled by the die specification and process parameters. Switching from 2mm shrimp to 8mm cattle feed requires a complete die change. The shrimp feed die will have a very high compression ratio (e.g., 1:20) and small holes, resulting in lower output (potentially 0.8-1.2 t/h) but maximum pellet durability for water stability.

The cattle feed die has a low compression ratio (e.g., 1:7) and large holes, allowing the machine to run at its full 15-16 t/h capacity. The pellet quality—hardness for cattle, water stability for shrimp—is engineered into each specific die.

Our process experts provide clear parameters for conditioning time and temperature for each formula to ensure optimal results after the changeover.

The standard lead time for a single 15-16 t/h pellet mill is 30-45 days after order confirmation and receipt of deposit. For a complete customized production line, lead time ranges from 60 to 90 days, depending on complexity. Shipping is typically via sea freight (FOB or CIF terms) from our port.

We handle all export documentation, crating, and loading. For larger projects, we can arrange door-to-door delivery and customs clearance assistance in the destination country. We provide a detailed shipping schedule and tracking information at every step.

Yes, we strongly encourage this. Richi Machinery operates a fully-equipped pilot plant at our facility. You can send your specific raw material formula. Our engineers will run it through the relevant process—grinding, mixing, conditioning, and pelleting—on a comparable smaller-scale animal feed pellet making machine for sale.

We will provide you with a detailed report including pellet durability index (PDI), production rate observations, and recommendations for die specification and process settings. This service minimizes your investment risk.

Proper maintenance is key to longevity. We recommend a daily check of roller and die gap, and a weekly inspection of all bearings and gearbox oil. The ring die and rollers are consumable parts. Their lifespan depends entirely on the abrasiveness of your materials.

For standard corn-soy poultry feed, a high-quality alloy steel die can last 18,000-22,000 tons, while rollers last 8,000-10,000 tons. For more abrasive diets, life is shorter. We provide a transparent spare parts price list.

As a guideline, budgeting 1-3% of the machine’s initial cost annually for routine wear parts (dies, rollers, seals, scrapers) is a prudent practice for a busy mill.

For a 15-16 t/h greenfield plant, we strongly recommend a PLC-based control system. At this capacity, the efficiency gains and error reduction far outweigh the initial cost. A basic PLC system for the pellet mill line allows for automated startup/shutdown sequences, monitoring of motor load and temperature, and centralized control of feeders and conditioners.

This prevents operator error that can damage the animal feed pellet making machine for sale. For larger investments, we can integrate full SCADA systems with production data tracking and recipe management. We design scalable automation that grows with your business.

When configured with the correct die and proper conditioning, our animal feed pellet making machine for sale consistently produces broiler feed pellets with a PDI exceeding 95%.

The key differentiators are our heavy-duty, precision-ground gear drive that ensures absolutely stable roller pressure, and our customizable, elongated conditioners that achieve superior starch cook.

We have numerous clients who switched from other brands and reported an immediate 3-5% increase in PDI, directly reducing feed waste and fines in transport. We welcome comparative trials with your material as proof.

Operator safety is paramount. Our animal feed pellet making machine for sale includes multiple mechanical and electrical safety interlocks. The main access doors are equipped with limit switches that cut power to the main motor and conditioner when opened.

The machine cannot be started remotely if a door is open. For clearing blockages, we provide specially designed safety tools. Furthermore, all rotating shafts are fully guarded. Our commissioning engineers provide mandatory safety training for your operational team.

In most cases, yes. The PLC system we install in our pellet mill line supports standard industrial communication protocols such as Profibus, Modbus TCP/IP, or Ethernet/IP.

We can work with your plant’s automation provider to establish a communication link, allowing your central SCADA system to monitor key parameters like motor load, production rates, and temperatures from our animal feed pellet making machine for sale. This is a common requirement for large, modern feed mill factory expanding their capacity.

The pellet mill itself operates at approximately 85-90 dB(A) at 1 meter, which is typical for heavy industrial machinery. We recommend installing the machine in a dedicated room or area.

Effective measures include mounting the machine on a vibration-damping base, using flexible connections for all ducts and spouts, and lining walls with acoustic panels. For the hammer mill, which is louder, we offer sound-insulated enclosures. We provide foundational and layout drawings that account for noise control considerations.

Our standard warranty is 12 months from commissioning for major components like the gearbox, main shaft, and body, and 6 months for electrical components, excluding consumable wear parts. The warranty covers replacement parts and the labor for our engineer’s time if the issue is due to manufacturing defects.

For technical support, we offer 24/7 remote assistance via phone and video call. For critical on-site issues, we have service engineers in key regions like Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, with a target response time of 48-72 hours. In other regions, we dispatch engineers from our headquarters, typically within 5-7 working days. Our goal is to minimize your downtime.

A true commercial grade animal feed pellet making machine for sale must offer versatility. While the core machine is the same, producing both floating fish feed and poultry pellets requires different configurations.

For floating fish feed, a high-compression extruder system is needed. For poultry, a standard die and conditioning suffice.

We provide the robust base machine and the technical guidance for quick changeovers, making it a cost-effective multi-purpose solution for diversified mills in markets like Nigeria.

For a startup pig farm, a small animal feed pellet making machine for sale is often the perfect initial investment. It allows you to control feed quality, utilize local by-products, and reduce costs without excessive capital outlay.

Choose a model with a capacity that matches your current herd size but from a manufacturer that offers larger models. This ensures you can source compatible spare parts and potentially upgrade smoothly as your farm grows, protecting your initial investment.

The key difference lies in labor efficiency and batch consistency. A standard machine requires manual adjustment of feeders, conditioners, and the die/roller gap. An automatic animal feed pellet making machine for sale for a large Australian layer operation would include a PLC control system.

This automates the startup sequence, maintains consistent conditioning temperature and steam flow, and can even adjust parameters based on the specific feed formula being run. This automation maximizes output per shift, ensures uniform pellet quality for flock health, and reduces the risk of operational errors.

Shrimp feed requires extreme durability and water stability. A standard pellet mill cannot achieve the necessary starch gelatinization and binding. A specialized shrimp feed pellet making machine for sale includes a triple-layer, extended-length conditioner for prolonged, precise cooking.

It uses a very high-compression die for ultra-dense pellets and is paired with a post-pelleting dryer. This integrated system is essential in Vietnam’s competitive market to produce feed that minimizes nutrient leaching and water pollution.

As a UK dealer, you must verify the manufacturer’s commitment to quality and support. Ensure they use internationally-sourced, premium components (bearings, gears, motors) for reliability.
