We have abundant wheat straw and cotton stalks in Punjab. What type of pellet making machine in Pakistan is best to process this mix into fuel pellets at a rate of 2-3 tons per hour?
+
For processing a mixed feed of wheat straw and cotton stalks at a target output of 2-3 tons per hour, we recommend a biomass-specific ring die pellet mill.
These materials are highly fibrous and abrasive, requiring a robust machine with features like a reinforced gearbox, high-compression rollers, and a specially designed force feeder system to ensure consistent material flow into the die. Our CZLH420 or CZLH520 models are ideally suited for this application.
The CZLH series is engineered precisely for tough agricultural residues common in Pakistan. For a 2-3 t/h output, the CZLH420 pellet mill in Pakistan would be the primary recommendation, with a main motor of 90kW.
A complete production line for this capacity would also include a heavy-duty straw crusher, a rotary drum dryer to reduce the inherent high moisture, a hammer mill for fine grinding, and the necessary cooling and screening equipment.
The investment for such a complete 2-3 t/h biomass line typically ranges between $170,000 to $400,000 FOB, depending on the level of automation and drying capacity required for your specific material moisture content. Our engineers can design a custom layout to optimize the process flow for your Punjab-based facility.
For a medium-scale poultry farm aiming to produce 5 tons per hour of broiler feed (3mm and 4.5mm pellets), what is the recommended feed pellet mill model and the approximate total line investment?
+
To reliably achieve 5 tons per hour of high-quality broiler feed, the recommended core feed pellet machine in Pakistan is our SZLH350 model. This ring die pellet mill, with a 55kW main motor and integral conditioner, is perfectly scaled for this output, providing excellent pelleting efficiency and durability for commercial feed production.
Producing both 3mm and 4.5mm pellets will require two corresponding ring dies, which can be swapped as needed.
The complete feed production line would encompass raw material receiving and cleaning (for maize, soybean meal, etc.), grinding with a hammer mill, precise batching and mixing in a horizontal feed mixer, conditioning and pelleting with the SZLH350, counter-flow cooling, screening to remove fines, and automated weighing and bagging.
For a complete, well-configured 5 t/h poultry broiler feed mill plant, the total investment typically falls within the range of $75,000 to $300,000 FOB.
The wide range accounts for choices in automation level, silo capacity, and auxiliary equipment brands. Richi Machinery provides a comprehensive process design to ensure your plant meets all hygiene and nutritional mixing standards.
Can your equipment handle the high-moisture chicken litter from our poultry sheds to produce organic fertilizer pellets, and what pre-drying system is necessary for a 3 t/h output?
+
Absolutely. Processing high-moisture chicken litter into premium organic fertilizer pellets is a common and successful application for our systems. The key is an integrated approach that starts with effective dewatering and drying.
For a 3 t/h pellet output line, a pre-drying stage is mandatory to reduce the moisture from as high as 60-70% down to an optimal 12-15% for pelletizing. We would typically recommend a large-scale rotary drum dryer powered by a biomass burner (which can use finished pellets or other biomass fuel) for this task due to its high capacity and robustness.
Following drying, the material is crushed and then pelleted using a specialized organic fertilizer pellet mill in Pakistan, such as our FZLH350 or FZLH420 models. These mills are built with anti-corrosion treatments and heavy-duty components to handle the abrasive and sometimes corrosive nature of organic fertilizers.
The complete line includes drying, crushing, mixing (for recipe formulation if needed), pelleting, cooling, screening, and coating/packaging. We provide complete engineering for such manure-to-fertilizer projects, ensuring efficient and odor-managed processing.
We want to set up a facility to process rice husk and sawdust into 8mm biomass pellets. What is the typical wood pellet machine price in Pakistan for a complete 1.5 t/h production line?
+
For a complete 1.5 t/h production line processing rice husk and sawdust into 8mm pellets, the core wood granulator machine in Pakistan would be our MZLH420 or MZLH520 model. The choice depends on the specific proportion and characteristics of your raw materials.
A full line includes several critical stages: raw material crushing (a hammer mill for sawdust, possibly a crusher for rice husk), drying (a rotary drum dryer is essential to achieve uniform moisture), fine grinding, pelleting, cooling, screening, and packing.
The total FOB price for such a 1.5 t/h complete pellet machine line typically ranges from $150,000 to $380,000. This range accounts for the capacity and type of dryer (a major cost component), the level of automation in the control system, and the choice of ancillary equipment. It’s crucial to note that the price of the single pellet mill is only one part of the total plant investment.
Richi Machinery specializes in providing tailored solutions, and we strongly advise a detailed consultation where we analyze your specific material mix to design the most cost-effective and efficient system for you.
What is the price range for a complete biomass pellet plant in Pakistan?

Is the single-screw extruder suitable for making floating fish feed from local ingredients for a 500 kg/h operation, or do we need a twin-screw system?
+
For a 500 kg/h (0.5 t/h) floating fish feed operation using local ingredients, a single-screw extruder from Richi Machinery is generally a suitable and more cost-effective choice. Our single-screw extruders are engineered to produce high-quality floating aquafeed with excellent water stability.
They are less complex and have a lower initial investment compared to twin-screw systems, making them ideal for small to medium-scale aquaculture projects in Pakistan.
The process involves fine grinding of ingredients (fish meal, soybean meal, wheat flour), mixing, extrusion cooking in the single-screw extruder, drying in a multi-layer belt dryer, oil coating, and cooling. We would ensure the extruder die is configured for the desired pellet size (e.g., 2mm, 3mm).
A twin-screw extruder offers greater formulation flexibility, better control over density for slow-sinking feeds, and higher torque for difficult recipes, but it comes at a significantly higher capital cost. For a standard floating feed at 0.5 t/h, a single-screw system provides an excellent balance of performance and value.
Our dairy cooperative wants to produce TMR pellets incorporating alfalfa, corn silage, and concentrates. What capacity pellet mill is needed for 8-10 t/h, and how is molasses added?
+
For a dairy cooperative targeting an output of 8-10 tons per hour of TMR (Total Mixed Ration) pellets, we recommend the SZLH508 feed pellet machine in Pakistan. This model, with its 160kW main motor and large 508mm diameter ring die, is engineered for high-capacity, heavy-duty feed production and can handle the fibrous nature of alfalfa and silage when properly prepared.
The process requires specialized pre-treatment: long-stem alfalfa and silage must first be processed through a hay cutter or coarse crusher to reduce particle length before fine grinding and mixing. Molasses is a crucial binder and energy source in TMR pellets.
It is typically added during the mixing stage using a molasses blender, which evenly coats the dry ingredients with the viscous liquid. To ensure successful pelleting, the total moisture content after molasses addition must be carefully controlled. The conditioned mash is then pelleted, cooled, and screened.
Our engineers design complete TMR lines that integrate all these steps, ensuring a homogeneous, durable, and nutritious final pellet for your dairy herd.
What are the specific voltage and power stability requirements for your 15 t/h feed pellet plant equipment to run reliably in an industrial area of Karachi?
+
Our industrial-grade equipment, such as a 15 t/h feed production line centered on an SZLH508 pellet mill machine in Pakistan, is typically designed for a 3-phase, 380V, 50Hz power supply, which is the industrial standard in Pakistan.
The total connected load for such a complete plant will be substantial, often exceeding 400kW, factoring in the pellet mill main motor (160kW), grinders, mixers, conveyors, cooler fans, and control systems. The most critical requirement beyond voltage is power stability.
Voltage fluctuations and frequent power outages, common in some areas, can severely damage sensitive motor drives and PLC controls. We strongly recommend and can design the electrical system to incorporate necessary protections, such as voltage stabilizers, surge protectors, and an automatic changeover switch for a backup generator.
For a reliable operation in Karachi or any location, a consistent and clean power supply is essential. During the project planning phase, we provide detailed power load lists and layout guidance to help you prepare your electrical infrastructure accordingly.

- For Aquafeed Production: As a fish feed dryer in Pakistan, it is indispensable after the extruder. It gently reduces moisture from ~20% down to a stable 8-10% without damaging the pellet’s structure, which is crucial for optimal oil coating and preventing mold during storage.
- For Food Processing: As a fruit and vegetable dryer in Pakistan, it is perfect for drying herbs, fruits, and vegetables, preserving flavor, color, and nutrients through low-temperature, air-circulation drying.
- Efficient Design: The hot air recirculation system saves over 30% energy compared to single-pass dryers. Humidity is controlled by exhausting a portion of moist air and replenishing with dry air.
- Precision Control: Each drying zone features independent control over temperature, air flow, and conveyor speed. This allows for a customized drying curve (e.g., low inlet temperature, gradual heating, and cool-down at the exit) to prevent case-hardening and ensure uniform moisture removal with an error rate of less than 2%.
- Hygienic Construction: Models are available with full 304 stainless steel interior contact parts, which are corrosion-resistant and easy to clean, meeting food and feed safety standards.
Understanding the Price Range & Selection:
The belt dryer machine Pakistan price is influenced by several key factors:
- Heating Source: Electric heaters (DHG series) have a higher operational power cost but simpler installation. Steam heaters (QHG series) have a lower listed “power” as they use a steam boiler (not included in dryer price), resulting in lower running costs if steam is available, but a higher overall system investment.
- Construction Material: Standard carbon steel is more economical; full stainless steel construction increases the price substantially.
- Control System: Basic manual control vs. fully automated PLC control with touchscreen HMI and data logging.
- Customization: Belt length, number of tiers, and specific zone configurations can be customized, affecting the final price.
Choosing the right model depends on your material, required hourly throughput, and available utilities (electricity vs. steam). We provide belt dryers for Pakistan suitable for a wide range of precision drying tasks.
To get an accurate quotation for a belt dryer tailored to your needs—whether as a fish feed dryer, fruit dryer, or for other industrial applications—please contact us with your material type, initial and target moisture content, required hourly output, and preferred heat source. Our engineers will recommend the optimal model and configuration.

What is the price range for a feed grading sieve or vibrating screen in Pakistan?
+
What is the price range for a feed grading sieve or vibrating screen in Pakistan?
A grading sieve, or vibrating screen, is an essential piece of equipment in any pellet production line in Pakistan. Its primary function is to ensure the final product is clean, uniform, and free of fines or oversized particles before packaging. This directly impacts product quality and market value.
The feed grading sieve in Pakistan price varies depending on the screening principle, capacity, and number of decks. Below is a detailed comparison of our two main series—vibrating screens and rotary screens—along with their specifications and indicative price ranges.
Screening Equipment Models, Specifications & Price Ranges
1. SFJZ Series: Linear Vibrating Screen
Ideal for high-volume, efficient separation of pellets into two fractions (e.g., on-spec pellets vs. fines). It is a classic and reliable vibrating screen for pellet pakistan.
| Model | Power (kW) | Capacity (T/H) | Decks (C) | Approx. FOB Price Range (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SFJZ63*1C/2C | 0.18 | 2~3 | 1 or 2 | $2,000 – $4,500 |

| SFJH185*2C/3C | 5.5 | 30-40 | 2 or 3 | $10,000 – $18,000 |
Key Features & Application Guidance:
Choosing the right feed grading sieve in Pakistan depends on your material and process requirements.
- SFJZ Vibrating Screen: Features a linear vibrating motion with a 19° screen angle. It is highly efficient for high-capacity removal of fines from cooled pellets or for pre-cleaning raw materials. Its self-balancing drive ensures stable operation with minimal vibration transfer to the structure. It is the most common choice for final sizing in feed and biomass pellet lines.
- SFJH Rotary Screen: Operates with a horizontal gyratory (revolving) motion, causing material to spread evenly across the screen in a spiral pattern. This gentle action is less likely to cause pellet breakdown and is excellent for precise grading into multiple fractions (e.g., separating large broken pellets, on-spec pellets, and fines). It is often preferred for higher-value feeds like aquafeed or pet food.
Both series are designed with streamlined internal outlets to prevent material buildup and cross-contamination, and feature quick-release screen clamping mechanisms for fast screen changes to handle different pellet sizes.
Factors Influencing Price:
The price range for each model accounts for:
- Number of Decks (1C, 2C, 3C): More decks allow for more fractions but increase the cost.
- Screen Mesh Specifications: The type and size of the screen panels (e.g., perforated metal, wire mesh) can be customized, affecting price.
- Construction Material: Standard carbon steel or optional stainless steel contact parts for corrosive environments.
- Inlet/Outlet Configuration: Custom flanges or connections to fit your existing conveyor system.
Selecting the correct sieve is vital for product quality. Whether you need a high-capacity vibrating screen for pellet cleanup or a gentle rotary grader for premium products, we have the right model.
To receive an exact model recommendation and price, please provide your material type (e.g., chicken feed pellets, wood pellets), required hourly capacity, and whether you need to separate into two or three fractions. Our technical team will specify the optimal screening solution for your plant in Pakistan.
Can we use one pellet making machine in Pakistan to produce both cattle feed (6mm) and poultry feed (3mm) by just changing the ring die, or are other adjustments needed?
+
While the core pellet making machine in Pakistan, such as an SZLH series model, can be used for different feed types, switching from 6mm cattle feed to 3mm poultry feed involves more than just changing the ring die. The die itself must be swapped for one with the correct hole diameter and compression ratio.
Additionally, several critical adjustments are needed: The conditioning parameters (steam temperature and pressure) differ significantly between high-fiber cattle feed and high-starch poultry feed. The knife setting for cutting pellets must be adjusted. The formulation and grind size of the raw materials are also different; poultry feed requires a finer grind for better digestion and pellet quality.
While it is operationally possible, frequent switching between such different pellet types on a single machine is not ideal for high-volume, dedicated production as it leads to downtime and potential cross-contamination.
For operations requiring both products consistently, we often recommend separate dedicated production lines or a carefully planned batch schedule with thorough cleaning and recalibration procedures.
For processing municipal green waste and bagasse into RDF pellets, what type of shredder and dryer do you recommend as part of a 4-5 t/h system?
+
Processing mixed municipal green waste and bagasse into Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) pellets requires robust pre-processing equipment. For a 4-5 t/h system, we recommend a two-stage size reduction. First, a heavy-duty dual-shaft shear shredder (or “universal shredder”) is essential to break down the heterogeneous and bulky green waste into a more uniform size.
Following shredding, for bagasse and wet green waste, a high-capacity rotary drum dryer is non-negotiable to reduce moisture to a pelletizable level (typically below 15%). The dryer would likely be heated by a biomass-fired hot air furnace.
After drying, a secondary finer shredding or hammer milling may be needed before the material is fed into a large biomass pellet mill in Pakistan, such as the MZLH678, which is capable of handling the abrasive and variable feedstock.
The entire line must be designed with durability and ease of maintenance in mind to handle the challenging nature of MSW. Richi Machinery has experience in designing such waste-to-value systems and can provide a complete equipment list and layout.
What is the lead time for manufacturing and shipping a complete 20 t/h cattle feed production line from your factory in China to the port in Lahore?
+
The lead time for a complete 20 t/h cattle feed production line varies depending on the specific configuration and current production schedule. Generally, for a major turnkey project of this scale, the manufacturing period in our factory is approximately 3 to 4 months.
This covers the fabrication of all major equipment, including the SZLH678 pellet mill machine in Pakistan, large mixers, grinders, coolers, and the electrical control systems. Following manufacturing, sea freight shipping from Qingdao or Shanghai to the Port of Karachi typically takes 3 to 4 weeks. Inland transportation from Karachi to Lahore adds additional time.
Therefore, the total timeline from order confirmation to equipment arrival at the Lahore port can be 4 to 5.5 months. It is important to begin with detailed engineering and planning well in advance. We provide a detailed project schedule upon contract signing and maintain transparent communication throughout the manufacturing and shipping process.
We have mango and citrus orchard waste. Can this fibrous material be pelleted for fuel, and what is the expected output per hour from a mid-range machine?
+
Yes, pruning waste from mango and citrus orchards (branches, twigs) can be successfully processed into biomass fuel pellets, providing an excellent solution for waste management and energy generation.
The material is fibrous and may require more intensive pre-processing than softwood. The branches must first be chipped using a wood chipper, then dried, and finally ground into a consistent fiber size.
For a mid-range output, a pellet making machine in Pakistan like our MZLH420 is a strong candidate. However, the actual output per hour will be lower than with standard sawdust, due to the material’s density and fiber structure.
You could expect an output in the range of 0.8 to 1.2 tons per hour from the MZLH420 when processing this type of orchard waste, depending on its final moisture content and particle size after preparation.
The complete line must include efficient chipping, drying, and grinding stages to ensure successful pelleting. We can test your material sample in our lab to provide a more accurate output prediction and system design.
Does your company provide on-site installation and commissioning for a 10 t/h biomass pellet plant in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and what does that service include?
+
Yes, Richi Machinery provides comprehensive on-site installation supervision and commissioning services for projects like a 10 t/h biomass plant in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. This is a crucial part of our turnkey project offering. Our service typically includes:
- Dispatch of experienced engineers to your site to supervise the installation of all equipment, ensuring it is aligned and assembled correctly according to our layouts.
- Mechanical and electrical commissioning, where we start up each machine individually and then the entire integrated system.
- Performance testing and tuning, where we run the plant with your actual raw materials, adjusting parameters on the pellet mill in Pakistan and other equipment to achieve the target output and pellet quality.
- Hands-on operation and maintenance training for your technical team. We provide detailed documentation and remain available for remote support post-commissioning. This service ensures your plant starts up smoothly and reaches its designed performance quickly.
What is the particle size requirement for maize and other grains before entering the feed pellet mill in a 6 t/h operation?
+
For optimal pelleting efficiency and pellet quality in a 6 t/h feed operation, maize and other grains should be ground to a fine and uniform particle size. The general rule is that at least 98% of the ground material should pass through a 3.0mm sieve, and a significant portion (around 70-80%) should pass through a 1.5mm sieve.
This fine grind ensures better starch gelatinization during conditioning, improves binding, creates a smoother pellet, and enhances animal digestibility. Achieving this requires a high-capacity, efficient hammer mill (or a series of mills) equipped with the appropriate screen size (e.g., 2.5mm or 3.0mm screens).
The grinding system must be sized to match the 6 t/h capacity of the overall line, accounting for the fact that grinding is a batch process preceding continuous mixing and pelleting.
Proper particle size reduction is a critical step that directly impacts the performance of the animal feed pellet press in Pakistan and the final product quality. Our designs always specify the appropriate grinding equipment to meet this standard.
For a small-scale operation making 1-2 tons per hour of goat and sheep feed pellets, what is the minimum space and power connection required?
+
For a small-scale 1-2 t/h goat and sheep feed pellet plant, the space and power requirements are moderate but must be planned. The core pellet machine in Pakistan for this capacity would be the SZLH250 or SZLH320 model. Space Requirement: A minimum covered area of approximately 15m x 10m (150 sq. m) is recommended to accommodate raw material storage, the production line (grinder, mixer, pellet mill, cooler), and finished product storage, arranged in a logical workflow. A height clearance of at least 4-5 meters is needed for equipment like the cooler and bucket elevators. Power Connection: The total connected load for such a line will be around 50kW to 80kW. This requires a stable 3-phase, 380V, 50Hz industrial power connection. It is advisable to have some spare capacity for future expansion. We provide detailed plant layout drawings during the design phase, which specify exact dimensions and power loads for all equipment, allowing you to prepare your facility accurately.
Are there any specific environmental permits or regulations in Pakistan we should be aware of before setting up a fertilizer pelletizing plant using animal manure?
+
While Richi Machinery provides the equipment and technical expertise, we always advise our clients to consult with local environmental authorities and legal experts in Pakistan for definitive permitting requirements. However, common considerations for a manure-based organic fertilizer production plant typically involve:
- Air Emissions: The drying process, if using a direct-fired dryer, may need to meet certain emission standards. We can provide indirect heating or recommend appropriate filtration.
- Odor Control: Processing manure can generate odors. Plant design should consider enclosed systems, biofilters, or strategic location relative to residential areas.
- Effluent/Wastewater: Any process water or leachate needs proper management.
- Product Registration: The finished fertilizer pellets may need to be registered and meet certain nutrient content standards with the relevant agricultural department.
We design our fertilizer production lines with environmental best practices in mind, such as enclosed conveying and efficient dust collection, to help you meet compliance goals. Due diligence on local regulations is a critical first step in your organic fertilizer production project planning.
What is the difference between your ring die pellet mill and a flat die machine for a farmer looking to make 1.5 t/h of feed for on-farm use?
+
For an on-farm feed production target of 1.5 t/h, the choice is significant. Our ring die feed pellet machine (e.g., SZLH250/320) and flat die pellet machine differ in design, performance, and application.
Flat Die Machine: Lower initial cost, simpler mechanical structure. Typically has a lower capacity and is better suited for small batches or very small farms. Pellet quality and durability can be lower, and die/roller life is shorter, especially with abrasive ingredients. It is less energy-efficient at this scale.
Ring Die Pellet Machine in Pakistan (e.g., SZLH250): Higher initial investment but significantly superior for 1.5 t/h continuous operation. Produces more durable and consistent pellets due to even pressure distribution. Offers higher efficiency (lower kWh per ton), longer die and roller life, and is designed for commercial durability.
For a steady 1.5 t/h demand, the ring die system is far more reliable, cost-effective in the long run due to lower wear part cost per ton, and produces a professional-grade feed. We would strongly recommend a small ring die system for this level of production.
We need a heavy-duty horizontal mixer that can handle 2-ton batches of feed with added liquids. Which model do you recommend for integration with a 5 t/h line?
+
For integration with a 5 t/h animal feed production line requiring 2-ton batches with liquid addition (like molasses or fat), we recommend our horizontal ribbon mixer model SLHY in the appropriate size, such as the SLHY-2. This mixer features a robust double-ribbon agitator that ensures rapid and thorough mixing of dry powders and grains.
For liquid addition, it is equipped with a spraying system that includes a liquid pump and spray nozzles mounted inside the mixing chamber, allowing for even distribution of liquids during the mixing cycle. The construction is heavy-duty with sealed bearings and a reliable discharge gate.
This model is designed for the harsh environment of an animal feed production plant and matches the batch cycle time required to keep a 5 t/h pellet line (using an SZLH350, for example) running continuously. We ensure the mixer’s discharge height aligns perfectly with the intake of your pellet mill feeder.
For processing wood logs and branches from our timber yard, what capacity wood chipper is needed to supply a 2.5 t/h wood pellet machine continuously?
+
To continuously supply a wood pellet press in Pakistan like the MZLH678 (rated 2.5-3.0 t/h) with raw material from logs and branches, you need a wood chipper with a matching or slightly higher output capacity to account for operational efficiency.
The chipper must process the raw logs into uniformly sized wood chips (typically 20-30mm in size) suitable for the subsequent drying and grinding stages. We would recommend a wood chipper with a capacity of at least 3 to 4 tons of chips per hour. The specific model depends on the maximum diameter of the logs you will process.
It is crucial that the chipper produces a clean, consistent chip without excessive fines or oversized pieces to ensure efficient drying and grinding. Proper sizing of this primary processing equipment is vital for the stable operation of the entire biomass pellet plant. Our engineers can specify the correct chipper model based on your log dimensions and required throughput.
What type of conveyor system is most suitable for handling hot pellets from the mill to the cooler in a high-dust feed mill environment?
+
For conveying hot, soft, and fragile pellets directly from the discharge of the pellet making machine in Pakistan to the cooler, a bucket elevator is the most common and suitable choice in a high-dust animal feed pellet plant environment.
Specifically, we recommend a heavy-duty, centrifugal discharge bucket elevator with robust construction. Key features for this application include:
- Sealed casing to contain dust and protect the product from contamination.
- Forged steel buckets with reinforced lips for durability.
- Belt or chain design suitable for the temperature (pellets are typically 70-90°C).
- Explosion-proof motors and electricals as a safety precaution in dusty environments.
The elevator is designed to handle the pellets gently enough to minimize breakage while moving them vertically to the top of the counter-flow cooler. We design the entire transfer system with appropriate hoods, dust aspiration points, and maintenance access to ensure safe and clean operation.
What is the price range for a counterflow pellet cooler in Pakistan?
+
What is the price range for a counterflow pellet cooler in Pakistan?
A counterflow pellet cooler is a non-negotiable component in any pellet production line in Pakistan. Directly following the pellet mill, it rapidly stabilizes hot, soft pellets by reducing their temperature and moisture content, which is essential for achieving durability, preventing mold, and enabling safe storage.
The counterflow pellet cooler in Pakistan price varies based on the cooling capacity (model size) and the type of discharge mechanism. Below is a detailed overview of our two main SKL series coolers—flap-type and vane-type—with their specifications and corresponding investment ranges.
Counterflow Pellet Cooler Models, Specifications & Price Ranges
1. SKLF Series: Flap-Type Counterflow Cooler
Utilizes a hydraulically controlled swinging flap discharge system for gentle, even pellet discharge. Ideal for a wide range of pellet types, especially where minimizing breakage is a priority.

| SKLY32*32 | 30-40 | 2.2 | 6-15 min | Ambient +3~5°C | $19,000 – $29,000 |
Key Features & Selection Guidance:
This pellet cooler machine in Pakistan operates on the efficient counterflow principle: ambient air is drawn upward through a descending column of hot pellets. The coldest air meets the coolest pellets at the bottom, and the warmest air exits at the top after contacting the hottest pellets. This method maximizes heat and moisture removal while minimizing thermal shock and pellet cracking.
- Superior Cooling Effect: Both series are designed to cool pellets to within 3-5°C of the ambient temperature, which is critical for stability.
- Gentle Discharge: The SKLF’s hydraulic flap system minimizes pellet breakage. The SKLY’s rotary vane system offers a consistent seal and steady flow.
- Uniform Cooling: Features like a four-way adjustable distributor and an optional rotating spreader (on large models) ensure an even bed depth for uniform cooling across the entire cross-section.
- Hygienic & Durable Design: The upper section, including the airlock feeder, is often constructed from stainless steel to resist corrosion from hot, moist vapors. The octagonal cooling chamber reduces dead corners where material can stagnate.
Why the Price Range Exists:
The counterflow pellet cooler Pakistan price for a given capacity can vary due to:
- Discharge System Choice: Flap (SKLF) vs. Rotary Vane (SKLY).
- Material Upgrades: Standard carbon steel vs. partial or full stainless steel construction in critical areas.
- Level of Automation: Basic level control vs. advanced PLC integration with the main production line.
- Ancillary Equipment: Inclusion of specific air exhaust adapters, dust collection ports, or pre-assembled support structures.
Selecting the correct cooler is vital for final pellet quality. The model must be matched to the peak output of your pellet making machine in Pakistan.
To receive an exact model recommendation and price, please inform us of your pellet type (feed, wood, fertilizer), the maximum hourly output from your pellet mill, and your preference for the discharge mechanism. Our engineers will specify the optimal pellet cooler machine for your production line.
After the pellet mill, what cooling and screening equipment is essential for a 12 t/h poultry feed plant to ensure durable, dust-free final pellets?
+
After the pellet mill in Pakistan in a 12 t/h poultry feed plant, two essential pieces of equipment are the counter-flow cooler and the vibrating grading screen.
Counter-Flow Cooler:
This is critical for stabilizing the hot, moist pellets. Ambient air is drawn upward through a column of descending pellets, cooling them evenly without shocking the surface. For 12 t/h, we would specify a cooler like our SKLN series with appropriate capacity. Proper cooling reduces moisture by 3-4%, hardens the pellets, and prevents mold growth in storage.
Vibrating Grading Screen:
After cooling, pellets are passed over a vibrating screen with multiple decks. It performs two functions: It removes fine particles (fines) generated during handling and cooling, which can be recycled back to the mixer. It separates any over-sized or odd-shaped clusters. This ensures only uniform, dust-free, high-quality pellets proceed to the packing scale. Together, this post-pelleting equipment is vital for producing a professional, market-ready product.
