Equipment Details of Mini Animal Feed Pellet Plant

  • Pretreatment - Crushing & Mixing: Small Feed Crushing and  Small Feed Mixer are generally used.
  • Processing - Pelletizing: The pre-treated materials are loaded into the animal feed pellet machine for pelletizing process. For the pelletizing process, choosing a reliable Feed Pellet Mill Manufacturers is of great importance.
  • Postprocessing - Cooling & Packaging: The pellet feed produced by pellet mill machine has a higher temperature, which requires cooling. Generally, the counter-current cooler should be installed under the granulator to save the transportation equipment of feed. The cooled feed pellet can be directly bagged for storage or fed to poultry and livestock. (Related Equipment: Pellet Cooler >>)

  • Pretreatment - Modulation & Steaming & Mixing

The pretreatment process is mainly the process of modulating the prepared powder material. In this process, the material is firstly modulated by the modulator, and then the original material is softened by the steam supply system (mainly including the steam boiler, pipes and their accessories). In order to increase the palatability of the feed, in this process can also be added to the appropriate oil additives (general molasses additives). The added materials are then mixed evenly to prepare for the next step of pelletizing. (Related Equipment: Small Feed Mixer >>)

  • Feed Pellets Making Process: Ring die type feed pellet machines are generally used in large scale feed plant.
  • Pellets Cooling & Bagging Process

Advantages of Pelleted Feed for Animals

  •   Feed Pellets Improve Nutrient Utilization

In the granulation process, water, temperature and pressure is combined to improve the nutrient utilization. The pelletizing process destroys the plant's cell wall, thereby increasing the digestibility of the feed. In the process of granulation, carbohydrate will undergo partial cracking, which will cause starch gelatinization so as to improve the utilization rate of feed energy. Pelletizing can destroy some toxic and harmful factors in the feed and improve the effectiveness of nutrients in the feed.

  •   Avoids Animal Being Picky about Food

Feeding the animals (livestock, poultry) with feed pellets can avoid the animal selecting the gains or food. The feed pellets contains a variety of nutrients, which ensures daily supply of feed at full price.

  •   Reduces Nutrient Consumption of Animal Feeding Activities

The feeding speed of livestock and poultry to pelleted feed is often higher than that of powder feed, and the feeding time is only one third of that of powder feed.

  •   Convenient Feeding and Reduction of Waste

The feeding of pelleted feed is convenient and saves labors, can can reduce the feed waste in the animal feeding. Due to the unreasonable feeding trough, there often has waste, the pelleted feed can reduce 8~10% of feed waste.

  •   Better for Transportation and Economic

Animal feed pellet is generally in small size. The volume of common pellet feed will reduce about 1/2-2/3 of the power feed of the same weight and the bulk density increased by 40%-100%. In addition, pelleted feed is easy to store, pack and transport. Pelleted feed will save the bin capacity and will not produce automatic classification. And it also plays an important role in maintaining the uniformity of trace components in the feed. It is also not easy to damp, than the same weight of powder volume reduced by 1/2-2/3, bulk density increased by 40%-100%, easy to store, pack and transport.At the same time can save bin capacity, will not produce automatic classification, especially to maintain the uniformity of trace components in the feed has an important role. It is also not easy to damp, Not easy to damp, so it will helpful for the mechanized feeding.

  •   Improving Environmental Hygiene

Pelleted feed is not easy to fly and reduces natural loss, which can improve environmental hygiene.


Animal feed pellet has increasing importance to reduce the feed cost and improve the animal growth quality. Therefore, the animal feed pellet machine gains more and more popularity among farms of poultry, sheep, cow, etc. For the animal pellet machine price, please contact us immediately.

Frequently asked questions on pellet making machine

FAQ

Questions on using pellet machine

What is pellet making machine?

Pellet making machine is also known as pellet mill and pellet machine. It uses roller and flat die to press biomass materials into solid pellets, which is an excellent fuel for heating.

What are biomass pellets made from?

Biomass pellets can be made from wood, sawdust, wood powder, rice straw, wheat bran, cotton stalk, corncob and other agriculture and forestry wastes.

What's the size of biomass pellets?

The thickness of biomass pellets depends on the diameter of holes on flat die, which is from 2.5 to 10mm. The length of biomass pellets is adjustable with a slicer equipped under the flat die.

Where are biomass pellets used?

Biomass pellets are high-efficiency and environmental-friendly fuel. They are widely applied for cooking range, home heating, heat-supply system, industrial boiler, and thermal power plant.

How much is a pellet making machine?

The price of pellet making machines varies according to their capacities, which drive engine they adopt, and whether they are R type or D type. You can consult our sales for specific price.

When and how do you deliver your products?

The products will be delivered 7-15days after the payment. Transportation is available by sea, land and air.

Do I need to pretreat raw materials before making pellets?

Yes, only raw materials with certain size and moisture content can be fed into pellet making machine. The diameter should be between 3-5 mm, moisture between 10%-20%.

Can feed pellet machine be used for making biomass pellets?

No. Feed pellet machines are designed to make animal feed pellets. Although they are able to process soft biomass materials like leaves, grass and sawdust, we recommend you to use specialized biomass pellet making machine for biofuel pellets production.

What's the difference between D and R types of pellet making machine?

GEMCO produce D-type (stationary roller and rotating die) and R-type (rotating roller and stationary die) pellet making machine. The former one is a standard version, suitable for home use and newcomers. The latter one is a pro version. With more lager productivity and higher price, it is suitable for users who has larger production needs and budget.

How to exam and maintain flat die and roller?

Check the clearance between roller and die and abrasion of them if you find any production drawdown of pellet making machine. The clearance between roller and die should be between 0.1-0.5mm.

Common problems and solution


As GEMCO biomass pellet making machine adopts superior components and scientific design, it has steady performance and long service life. Nevertheless, there may be some fault or abnormity during making pellets. To address your problem and spare your efforts, we present a few frequent problems and provide feasible solution.

Why there is no pellets coming out?

There are 2 reasons: New flat dies haven't been fully ground; water content in raw materials is too high.

Solution:Clear away raw materials in pellet making machine. Before putting them into use, you must grind the new die with oil mixture(composed of 20% fine sand, 65% biomass materials, 15% waste oil). Keep raw materials dry before feeding into into pellet making machine.

Why pellet making machine suddenly stops?

This problem arises from 2 factors: the voltage is too low; the roller and flat die are placed too tight.

Solution: Start pellet making machine after the voltage is steady. Adjust the clearance between flat die and roller.

Why the produced pellets appears too soft or powdery?

2 reasons: Raw material are too dry. The flat die has seriously worn out.

Solutions: Adjust the water content in biomass materials. Replace the worn flat die with a new one.

Why roller wears so quickly?

Reasons: 1. The roller and flat die idle without raw materials between them. 2. There are a lot of hard impurities in raw materials.

Solution: 1. Feed raw materials evenly, make sure raw materials are fed into clearance between roller and die. 2. Sieve raw materials before feeding them into hopper.
