1
Receive raw ingredients
Feed pellet production lines receive raw ingredients from suppliers. Upon arrival, the ingredients are weighed, tested and analyzed for various nutrients and to ensure their quality and safety.
2
Create a formula
Nutritionists work side-by-side with scientists to formulate nutritionally sound and balanced diets for livestock, poultry, aquaculture and pets. This is a complex process, as every species has different nutritional requirements.
3
mixing system
Put the prepared raw materials into the mixer for mixing. The mixing time and speed need to be determined according to the properties of the raw materials and the performance of the mixer.
4
pelleting system
After the mixed powdered feed is pelletized with ring die pellet machine, the nutrition and feeding quality of the feed are improved and enhanced to varying degrees, thus attracting the attention of many breeders.
5
cooling system
The pellets just out of the die are high-temperature, high-humidity plastics that are easily deformed and broken. They should be dried and cooled immediately to reduce the temperature and moisture and harden them for easy storage and transportation.
6
Crumbling system
Crumbling pellet feed can save energy consumption, increase output, reduce costs, and improve the digestion and absorption rate of animal.
7
screening system
After the pellet feed is processed by the crumbling process, some powder and other materials that do not meet the requirements will be produced. Therefore, the crumbled pellet feed needs to be screened into products with neat pellets and uniform size.
8
packaging system
Manufacturers determine the best way to ship the product. If it is prepared for retail, it will be “bagged and tagged,” or placed into a bag with a label that includes the product’s purpose, ingredients and instructions. If the product is prepared for commercial use, it will be shipped in bulk.
advantage of feed pellet production line
High productivity
By adopting large-scale feed mill equipment, the feed pellet production line can process feed quickly and stably. This enables the production line to meet the processing needs of large-scale feed factories and improve project progress and efficiency.

What are the raw materials needed for feed production?
The raw materials needed in animal feed production line mainly include grains, proteins, fats, minerals, etc.
- Grains
The most commonly used in feed are various grains, such as corn, wheat, barley, etc. Although grains do not contain rich nutrients, they have excellent energy and carbohydrate content and are an important source of energy for animal growth and development. - Proteins
Protein is the basis of tissues and organs in animals, and it is also the raw material for various metabolisms of animals. Commonly used proteins in feed include fish meal, meat and bone meal, beans, etc. Among them, bean protein has a high nutritional value and is even more important for the growth and development of infants and young children. - Fats
The fats in feed are mainly various oils, such as soybean oil, cottonseed oil, fish oil, etc. Although fat is not an essential element for animal growth and development, sufficient fat can provide animals with abundant energy and help animals absorb nutrients such as fat-soluble vitamins. - Minerals
Minerals required for animal growth and development include iron, calcium, zinc, selenium, etc. These minerals are often added to feed to ensure the healthy development of the animal’s body. In addition, animals also need a certain amount of salt. Adding an appropriate amount of salt to the feed can help animals maintain electrolyte balance in their bodies. - Others
In addition to the above four categories, other raw materials can be added to the feed, such as various vitamins, amino acids, etc., to further enhance the nutritional value of the feed.
How to design the finished product warehouse of a feed pellet production line?
- Determination of area: According to the product sales habits, the proportion of bulk and bagged finished products is determined, which generally meets the sales volume of 3~4 days for main products and 5~6 days for secondary products.
- Canopy design: The canopy structure is generally cantilevered, and the canopy width is recommended to be 6~7 m. If it is smaller, the rain protection effect is poor, and if it is larger, the structure is difficult to handle and the cost is high.
- Building height: The eaves height is recommended to be 6.0 m, which can save construction costs and meet the functions.
- Shipping platform: According to the original landform of the factory area and the needs of finished product distribution, a shipping platform can be designed, and its height is about 1.2 m.
- Other technical treatments: The structure, roof, wall, and gate design of the finished product warehouse are basically the same as those of the raw material warehouse. The finished product warehouse generally does not consider the entry of cars, and the ground load can be smaller than that of the raw material warehouse. (Find RICHI on youtube)
What are the finished product packaging methods for feed pellet production lines?
The main finished product packaging processes that RICHI Machinery can provide are: bag taking, metering, bag sewing, pallet stacking, and transfer stacking. Depending on the investment situation, you can choose to combine different guarantee systems.
How to design a substation for a feed pellet production line?
Substation (distribution room) location: It should meet planning requirements and strive to be located on the ground floor or near the workshop, shortening the distance from the transformer low-voltage control cabinet to the workshop control room.
This can save low-voltage cable costs and reduce line losses.
Substations should use box-type transformers as much as possible to reduce the construction of distribution rooms and be economical and practical.
