FEED GRANULATOR MACHINE

We understand the critical importance of electrical stability in regions like Nigeria. To protect your investment in the SZLH558 feed granulator machine, we strongly recommend and can supply a complete motor control center (MCC) panel equipped with a soft starter or a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD).

A VFD offers superior protection by providing a soft start (reducing mechanical stress), compensating for minor voltage sags, and allowing for precise speed adjustment of the feeder and conditioner.

The panel will include high-quality circuit breakers, overload relays, and phase-failure protection devices specifically calibrated for the 185KW main motor. This integrated electrical package from Richi Machinery is designed to shield the machine’s critical components from damage due to power anomalies.

For producing high-quality, water-stable sinking feed for tilapia in Ecuador, a double-layer (two-stage) conditioner is the recommended configuration for the SZLH558.

This setup provides the extended retention time (adjustable up to 90-180 seconds) necessary for sufficient steam penetration and starch gelatinization, which is the foundation of water stability. The first stage pre-heats and moisturizes the mix, while the second stage applies precise heat and steam for optimal cook.

Combined with a high-compression ring die (typically a ratio of 1:16 to 1:18 for 4mm pellets) and a precise post-pelleting drying/cooling process, this system from Richi Machinery delivers pellets with excellent durability and minimal disintegration in water.

Under full load producing standard poultry feed, the SZLH558 feed granulator machine’s main 185KW motor will consume approximately 185 kWh per hour at full draw.

However, the total connected load for the entire pelleting station, including the forced feeder, conditioner motors, and lubrication system, is typically around 210-220 KW. Actual energy cost in Poland depends on your local industrial electricity rate.

For a precise operating cost analysis, our engineers can factor in your specific tariff, expected annual operating hours, and the machine’s efficiency.

It’s important to note that the gear-driven transmission of our granulator is more energy-efficient than belt-driven systems, converting more power directly into pelleting force, which helps optimize energy use per ton of output.

Switching between such different pellet specifications is a standard operational change for a well-designed feed granulator machine like the SZLH558. The primary task is changing the ring die and rollers, which is a straightforward mechanical process for trained personnel and can often be completed within a few hours.

The cost involves owning two sets of consumables: an 8mm die with a lower compression ratio for cattle feed and a 3mm die with a higher compression ratio for broiler feed. Additionally, you will need to adjust the conditioner parameters (steam, retention time), the roller-to-die gap, and the knife position.

Richi Machinery provides comprehensive operational training and manuals to empower your team to make these changes efficiently, maximizing your plant’s flexibility.

With a properly configured and operated Richi Machinery SZLH558 line, you can expect a fines generation rate of less than 5% after the cooler, and often as low as 2-3% for well-conditioned maize and sunflower meal formulations.

Achieving this low level depends on several factors our engineers optimize: precise grinding size of the maize, sufficient conditioning temperature and time to activate binding agents in the sunflower meal, using the correct die specification for your formula, and properly adjusting the pellet cooler to avoid thermal shock and cracking.

We focus on the entire process to deliver whole, durable pellets that maximize your yield.

The standard lead time for manufacturing, testing, and preparing shipment of an SZLH558 feed granulator machine to a port like Hai Phong in Vietnam is approximately 60-75 days after order confirmation. To ensure maximum uptime, we advise all customers to maintain a critical spare parts kit.

For the SZLH558, this should include: a set of pellet mill rollers (2 pieces), a set of main drive belt(s) (if applicable), key bearing seals and gaskets, and a supply of die-specific relief pins.

For long-term planning, having a spare ring die is also highly recommended. Richi Machinery provides a recommended spare parts list tailored to your planned operating hours and can support fast replenishment of parts from our warehouse.

For the challenging high-humidity and salty air environments common in the Philippines, Richi Machinery uses an enhanced protective coating system. Critical structural components, like the main housing and conditioner, are sandblasted to a clean surface and then treated with a high-quality epoxy zinc-rich primer.

This is followed by multiple coats of polyurethane topcoat paint, which offers excellent resistance to moisture, chemicals, and UV radiation. For areas with the highest wear or exposure, such as the feeder, we can apply stainless steel cladding upon request.

This robust paint system is a standard part of our commitment to delivering a durable, long-lasting feed granulator machine.

A disciplined maintenance routine is key to the longevity of your feed granulator machine. Our comprehensive manual provides full details, but key daily tasks include: checking and greasing all bearing points (per the lubrication chart), inspecting V-belt tension, checking for oil leaks at the gearbox and lubrication station, and ensuring the roller-to-die gap is correct.

Weekly tasks involve a more thorough inspection: checking wear on the rollers and die, cleaning the magnet and feed intake area, verifying the condition of the knife blades, and ensuring all safety guards and interlocks are functional.

Richi Machinery’s training ensures your operators are fully equipped to perform this care.

Yes, for projects in Egypt and globally, Richi Machinery offers advanced remote support solutions.

We can equip the SZLH558 feed granulator machine with IoT-enabled sensors and a gateway that transmits key operational data (motor load, bearing temperature, production rate) to a secure platform.

This allows our engineers in China to perform preliminary diagnostics, monitor performance trends, and provide proactive support. For direct assistance, we utilize secure remote desktop connections to your plant’s HMI/SCADA system for real-time troubleshooting, significantly reducing potential downtime.

For tilapia feed in Indonesia, the choice between floating and slow-sinking feed depends on farming practice, but slow-sinking is very common. It’s important to clarify the technology: a standard ring die feed granulator machine produces dense pellets and is ideal for sinking feed.

For true floating fish feed, a different technology—a single or twin screw extruder—is required, which we also supply. For your slow-sinking tilapia feed using a ring die machine, the conditioning process is paramount. We configure the machine with a double-layer conditioner to provide extended retention time (up to 180 seconds) and high-temperature steam (85-95°C).

This ensures thorough starch gelatinization, which is the foundation for good water stability and controlled sinking rates. Our engineers will specify the exact conditioner setup and die compression ratio for your specific formula.

Handling medicated feed in Canada requires a strict focus on feed mill hygiene and batch integrity. For the feed granulator machine itself, we recommend a model with a highly cleanable design.

Key features include stainless steel contact surfaces in the feeder and conditioner, quick-release doors for inspection, and an effective die-cleaning mode that uses specialized granules to purge residual material. More importantly, the solution is systemic.

Richi Machinery designs the entire production line segment around this need, incorporating dedicated batch mixers, sequenced flushing systems for conveyors, and sometimes a dedicated pellet mill for medication-only production.

Our control systems can log and trace each batch from mixing through pelleting, ensuring compliance with CFIA regulations.

Producing high-quality horse feed from ingredients like long-stem hay in Argentina requires a feed granulator machine built for challenge. The primary hurdle is the fibrous, low-starch nature of the raw material, which lacks natural binding agents.

We recommend a heavy-duty model with a wide-diameter, deep-conditioning chamber to allow sufficient time for steam penetration and moisture uptake. It must be equipped with a powerful forced feeder to push the bulky material into the pelleting chamber consistently.

The ring die will have a very low compression ratio (e.g., 1:5) and large hole diameters (10mm, 12mm) to form the pellets without excessive pressure that can cause overheating.

Richi Machinery has extensive experience configuring systems for equine nutrition that produce durable, palatable pellets without damaging heat-sensitive nutrients.

Shrimp feed represents the pinnacle of aquafeed pelleting, especially in a competitive market like Vietnam. The core difference for a shrimp feed granulator machine is its ability to handle ultra-fine grind (95% through 80 mesh) and achieve extremely high compression.

Our dedicated machines feature a triple-layer, micro-retention conditioner for maximum starch cook and binder activation. They use precisely machined, thin dies with very small hole diameters (1.0mm to 2.0mm) and exceptionally high compression ratios (1:25 or higher).

This combination, powered by a stable and powerful transmission, creates the dense, water-stable micro-pellets with a glassy surface that shrimp require.

Achieving “low-fines” output is a result of this entire optimized system—proper conditioning, exact die specification, and gentle post-pellet drying—all of which Richi Machinery engineers design into the complete line.

Consistent output from a large-capacity machine in Saudi Arabia depends on disciplined preventative maintenance. A daily routine includes checking oil levels in the gearbox and lubrication station, greasing all bearing points per the chart, inspecting V-belt tension, and listening for unusual noises.

Weekly, operators should check and adjust the roller-to-die gap and inspect wear on the rollers and die inner surface. To minimize downtime, we advise keeping these critical spare parts on hand: a full set of pellet mill rollers (2 or 3 pieces), a set of main drive belts, key oil seals and gaskets for the gearbox and main shaft, and a stock of die-specific release pins.

For long-term security, investing in a spare ring die is highly recommended. Richi Machinery provides detailed maintenance manuals and can help you establish a tailored spare parts inventory plan.
