How To Use Grass Pellet Mill To Make Grass Pellets For Poultry Cattle Sheep And Pig

How to Make Grass Pellets For Feed? The core equipment is the grass pellet machine, and the core process is the processing flow of grass pellets.

According to the physical properties of grass raw materials (grass powder/haystack/long size/high moisture/impurities) and the raw material ratio (pure grass/grass & grains/grass & other biomass), we will configure suitable grass pellet processing equipment and grass pellet processing technology for customers.

Below, let RICHI MACHIINERY introduce you in detail our grass pellet machine and grass pellet processing technology, as well as auxiliary equipment for grass pellet processing.

What is a grass pellet mill?

A grass pellet machine is a type of feed pellet machine, which is mainly used to process materials with grass as the main raw material into ruminant feed such as cattle and sheep, as well as livestock feed pellets and poultry feed pellets.

Grass pellet mills can not only process a single grass or a mixture of multiple grasses into feed pellets, but also a mixture of grass and grains, a mixture of various straws and grains, and a mixture of grass, straw and grains into feed pellets for feeding different types of animals.

RICHI has been committed to the research and development, manufacturing, production and sales of grass pellet mills. The grass pellet mills produced by RICHI are used in various small, medium and large feed processing plants, greatly improving the efficiency of grass pellet feed production and the quality of feed pellets.

What raw materials are suitable for grass pellet mills?

Grass pellet mills are mainly used to process different types of grass, such as alfalfa, hay, clover, nettle grass and other types of grass into feed pellets. In addition to 100% grass pellets, your formula may also contain grains such as corn and wheat, or raw materials such as straw, buckwheat husks, cotton husks, and sunflower husks.

Grass pellet mills can meet the production needs of all feed formulas. In addition to processing 100% grass into feed pellets, they can also process a mixture of grass and grains, a mixture of grass and straw, and a mixture of grass, straw and grains.

For areas with large grass planting areas, using a grass pellet mill to process grass into feed pellets is a very promising and profitable business.

Application of grass pellets

Grass feed pellets pressed by a grass pellet mill are a source of food and nutrition for many animals. Grass feed pellets can be used for all types of ruminants such as cattle and sheep that mainly feed on grass, such as dairy cows, bulls, calves, goats, sheep, etc., and can also be used to feed many other types of poultry and livestock, such as pigs, chickens, camels, etc.

As a substitute for grass, grass pellets are widely used in various types of livestock farms and farms for their rich nutrition, good chewing, strong palatability, improved feed conversion rate, easy transportation, and convenient storage.

Structural features of grass pellet mill

RICHI forage pellet mill adds a forced feeding device on the basis of the original feed pellet mill. The specially designed forage pellet mill can effectively improve the pelleting efficiency and production capacity.

In addition, the forage pellet mill uses high-quality raw materials in the manufacturing process, and the parts are world-renowned brands, providing customers with high-quality feed pellet production equipment. The following is a detailed display of RICHI forage pellet mill:

Feeder

The variable frequency feeding device with anti-caking device can effectively reduce the arching of raw materials and improve production efficiency.

Gear transmission

The main transmission method adopts high-precision gear transmission, and the production effect can be improved by about 15%.

Coupling

The serpentine spring coupling with international advanced level is used, which has novel structure, compact structure, low failure rate and other performances.

Ring die

Many innovative designs are made in many aspects such as anti-cracking of ring die, increased hourly output and increased total output.

Modulator

The modulator is made of 304 stainless steel, including the internal shaft and paddles, which can package the quality of finished feed pellets.

Siemens motor

The main motor of the forage pelletizer uses Siemens motor, which can extend the service life of the entire pelletizer.

Working principle of grass pelletizer mill

RICHI forage pelletizer can process powdered forage, straw, small grain or their mixture into feed pellets.

During the production process, the grass powder and grain after crushing and mixing enter the modulator through the feeder. In the modulator, the material is fully in contact with steam. After high temperature and high pressure, the material is matured and sterilized, and then enters the pelletizing chamber under the action of the forced feeder.

In the pelletizing chamber, the material is compacted and squeezed into the die hole of the ring die by the pressing action of the ring die and the roller. The cylindrical particles formed in the die hole are extruded and then cut into feed pellets of the required length by the cutter.

The support beam and main shaft of the whole equipment of RICH forage pelletizer are forged into one piece. The gap between the roller and the ring die can be kept uniform, which can effectively ensure the production efficiency of the whole equipment.

Parameters of forage pellet mill

The output of common forage pellet mills is between 0.5-8 tons per hour, which is also the equipment that many customers often purchase from us. In addition to providing 0.5-8 tons per hour forage pellet mills and 0.5-10 tons per hour forage feed pellet production equipment, RICHI can also provide customers with large-volume forage pellet production solutions according to customer demand for output, such as 15 tons per hour forage pellet production line, 20 tons per hour forage pellet production line, 30 tons per hour forage pellet production line, etc.

To learn more about the detailed parameters and prices of grass pellet mills and forage feed production lines, please contact us directly. As a leading feed production equipment manufacturer in the industry, RICHI can provide you with suitable forage feed production equipment with rich experience.  (The output of the following grass pellet mills is only the output of processing 100% pure grass pellets. If there are grains and various additives in the formula, the output will increase. The larger the proportion of grains and cereals, the greater the output of the pellet mill.)

Complete grass pelleting technology

For commercial forage feed pellet production, in addition to the need for a forage pelletizer, a complete forage feed production plan is also required. RICHI can not only provide professional forage pelletizers, but also provide a complete set of forage feed pellet production line solutions.

Complete forage pelleting technology usually includes drying, crushing, mixing, pelleting, cooling, and packaging. After the forage is processed through the complete forage pelleting technology, high-quality forage feed pellets can be obtained.

If your raw material is fresh forage waiting to be harvested, bales of forage or hay, etc., then the processing technology of forage pellets will be adjusted according to the moisture and state of the raw materials.

1. Drying
   The forage pelletizer has strict requirements on the moisture content. Fresh forage or forage with a high moisture content needs to be dried before pelleting. The forage is dried using hot air in the drum dryer.
2. Crushing
   Use a forage crusher to crush the forage into grass powder. If there are other raw materials in the feed formula, such as straw, corn, etc., they also need to be crushed into small particles.
3. Mixing
   According to the feed formula, various materials such as grass powder are weighed in a certain proportion, and then mixed evenly to form materials that can be pelletized.
4. Pelletizing
   The evenly mixed materials are extruded by the grass pelletizer to form grass pellets of uniform size and length. The formed grass pellets can be screened, cooled, and processed.
5. Cooling
   The extruded grass pellets enter the cooler to cool to room temperature, increase the hardness of the grass pellets, and facilitate subsequent processing and storage.
6. Packaging
   The finished grass pellets are packaged into bagged feed pellets of fixed weight using packaging equipment, and then stored, transported, and sold.
