Alfalfa pellets are gray-green in color and differ in length and width depending on the pellets manufacturers. Alfalfa is a dried green feed that contains valuable vitamins and minerals as well as protein. The dried green alfalfa pellets should not contain a majority of plant parts with high raw fiber content such as stems and straw, as their high raw fiber content reduces digestibility. Before they are harvested, alfalfas have higher nutritional value characterized by higher protein content.
After adding a suitable binder to alfalfa, the composition is processed under high pressure in pellet mills to form cylindrical pellets. For transport purposes, pellets generally have the same properties as the original plant residues, particularly in terms of oil and water content. With its experience in alfalfa pelleting, pellet mill technology and engineering studies, RICHI's alfalfa pelleting process and machine layout project required by the customer are designed, manufactured and commissioned by considering the most affordable cost.

The alfalfa pellet making machine is only used in the granulation section of the alfalfa pellet production line. To complete the alfalfa granulation, many processes are required to form a complete system, and this system is alfalfa pellet plant.
The method of using mechanical pelleting technology to press hay into finished pellets is called the alfalfa pellet making process. Generally speaking, the standard alfalfa pellet production process flow is: raw material processing → crushing → drying → mixing & batching → pelleting → cooling → screening → packaging.
Generally speaking, alfalfa raw materials need to be cleaned. Impurities such as nails, stones, cigarette butts, metal pieces, etc. in alfalfa seeds are removed through drum screens, permanent magnetic drums, iron removers and other equipment.
→If your feedstock is not alfalfa meal, then your feedstock needs to be ground (in bales or long sizes). The larger the feedstock size, the more grinding equipment is required. If multiple raw materials are used, the crushing process needs to be customized first.
→If your raw material has high moisture content, it needs to be dried and must meet the feeding requirements of the alfalfa pellet machine to obtain high-quality alfalfa pellets. Usually, drum dryers and belt dryers are available, and the heat source is optional.
→When your raw materials include not only alfalfa but also grains, other grasses, agricultural products or other organic materials, in order to ensure the uniformity of pellet quality, you need to add a mixer or even a batching system to the process.
→The prepared material is sent to the alfalfa pellet making machine through the conveyor for granulation. The pelleting process is the process of compressing materials into granules for easier storage and transportation. This link is a key step in the entire process and requires precise control of the size and quality of the alfalfa pellets.
→After the granulation is completed, we use a conveyor belt to send the high-temperature granules into the cooling machine for cooling treatment. This step is to quickly cool down the high-temperature particles and prevent them from sticking together. It also helps to improve the hardness and wear resistance of the alfalfa pellets.
→After cooling, qualified and unqualified particles will be screened out through vibration, and qualified particles will be packaged into different packaging specifications. Packaging is optional, and some customers choose to ship in bulk. Some customers also use the pellets on their own farms.
→In addition to the above main sections, in the actual alfalfa pellet processing process, many auxiliary sections need to be set up. Some of these processes are necessary and some are optional: conveying system, storage system, dust removal system, boiler system, grease adding system, fully automatic control system, etc.
→According to different customer needs, alfalfa shape and size, alfalfa moisture content, raw material ratio, plant structure size, product type and other factors, RICHI engineers will provide you with free customized process design, equipment layout and other drawings. Throughout the entire alfalfa pellet plant process, RICHI focuses on the continuity and stability of each link to ensure the best quality and output of the final product. In addition, we also improve production efficiency and reduce costs through continuous technological innovation and improvement to provide customers with better services.

In addition to the technical features introduced above, RICHI alfalfa pellet machine also has a number of advanced technical features that make it perform well in feed, biomass fuel and organic fertilizer processing.
Here we will explain in detail the materials and brands used in each part of our alfalfa pellet machine:
The technical parameters of alfalfa pellet machine are important indicators to measure its performance, mainly including production capacity, power, particle size and machine size.
Production capacity refers to the amount of pellets that alfalfa pellet machine can produce per unit time, usually expressed in tons/hour (t/h). The production capacity of different models of alfalfa pellet machines varies greatly. The production capacity of small equipment may be 0.5-1 t/h, while the production capacity of large equipment can reach 5-10 t/h or even higher.
Power refers to the electrical energy required by the alfalfa pellet machine during operation, usually expressed in kilowatts (kW). The power directly affects the production efficiency and energy consumption of the equipment. Generally speaking, the larger the production capacity of the equipment, the higher its power. For example, the power of a small device may be 15-30 kW, while the power of a large device can reach more than 100 kW.
Particle size refers to the diameter and length of the pellets produced by the alfalfa pellet machine, usually expressed in millimeters (mm). The particle size can be adjusted according to the needs, and the common particle diameter range is 6-12 mm and the length range is 20-50 mm. Different particle sizes are suitable for different purposes, such as feed, biomass fuel and organic fertilizer.
Machine size refers to the physical size of the alfalfa pellet machine, including length, width and height, usually expressed in millimeters (mm). The machine size directly affects the installation and transportation of the equipment. The size of a small machine may be 2000×1000×1500 mm, while the size of a large machine can reach 5000×2000×3000 mm.
In the previous section, we have briefly introduced the working principle of the alfalfa pellet machine. In order to let you know the operating principle of the alfalfa pellet machine in detail, here RICHI will give you a detailed introduction.
The alfalfa pellet making machine is a machine that softens the alfalfa by heating and then presses it through the mold holes under high pressure into cylindrical or polygonal granules of different diameters. Its working principle includes the following parts:
In the alfalfa hay pellet mill, due to the high temperature and high pressure, a certain amount of heat will be generated inside the granules. Therefore, after the particles are made, their temperature needs to be reduced through a cooling system to ensure their quality and stability.
The grading system reprocesses the alfalfa pellets that do not meet the standards through the screening device to ensure the quality and consistency of the product.
Alfalfa pellet machines are mainly divided into two types: flat die feed pellet machines and ring die feed pellet machines.
The price of the flat-die alfalfa feed pellet machine is relatively low, but the output is small and the pellet quality is poor, so it is only suitable for very small-scale farmers; while the ring-die alfalfa feed pellet machine is more expensive but has a large output and is currently the most suitable for grass feed processing.
The standard model is suitable for use in various animal cattle sheep ruminant feed mills and medium and large-scale breeding farms. Alfalfa pellet processors should choose the appropriate machine model based on their production scale and production needs.
Compression ratio is one of the important indicators to measure the performance of alfalfa feed pellet machine. The higher the compression ratio, the better the pelleting effect and the higher the feed utilization rate.
Therefore, when choosing an alfalfa pellet machine, you should pay attention to its compression ratio. Generally speaking, a feed pellet machine with a compression ratio of above 1:8 is ideal.
Power consumption is an important factor that customers cannot ignore when choosing a roller mill for alfalfa pellets. Low power consumption means low production costs, which is beneficial to improving production efficiency.
When purchasing a pellet machine, you should choose equipment with low energy consumption and high efficiency to reduce production costs.
Stability is one of the important criteria to measure the quality of dehydrated alfalfa pellets mill. A stable alfalfa pellet machine can ensure the continuity and stability of production and improve production efficiency.
Therefore, when choosing an alfalfa pellet machine, you should pay attention to its stability and choose equipment with reliable quality and stable performance.
When choosing an alfalfa pellet machine for animal, you should compare equipment from different manufacturers and models. Take comprehensive consideration of price, performance, quality, after-sales service and other aspects to select the most cost-effective equipment.
Additionally, look to the experience and advice of other alfalfa pellet processors to make a more informed choice.
When purchasing an alfalfa pellet making machine, you should conduct an on-site test to observe the operation status and pelletizing effect of the equipment.
At the same time, during acceptance, attention should be paid to the appearance quality, assembly accuracy, and operation stability of the equipment to ensure that the purchased equipment meets the requirements.
To sum up, choosing a suitable alfalfa pellet mill machine needs to consider many aspects, including machine model, compression ratio, power consumption, stability, cost performance, test machine and acceptance, etc.
Customers should consider the above factors based on their actual situation and choose an alfalfa pellet machine that is cost-effective, stable and suitable for them. This will help improve the efficiency of alfalfa pellet processing, reduce production costs, and bring more economic benefits to yourself.
According to their different structures and working principles, alfalfa pellet machines can be mainly divided into two types: Ring Die Alfalfa Pellet Mill and Flat Die Alfalfa Pellet Mill.
Ring Die Pellet Mill is suitable for small, medium and large-scale production, with the characteristics of high output and high efficiency. As long as your output is greater than 200kg/h, you can choose medium equipment, because the return rate of processed alfalfa pellets is very high. It can be said that whether it is processing feed or fuel or fertilizer, the ring die pellet machine must be the best choice. Its working principle is to compress the raw materials into pellets through the rotation of the ring die and the pressure roller. Ring die pellet machines are usually used in large feed mills or biomass fuel production plants, which can process large amounts of raw materials and produce high-quality pellet products.
Flat die pellet machines are characterized by simple structure, easy operation, and suitable for mini-scale production. If you are not pursuing the quality of alfalfa pellets, then this equipment is a choice. Its working principle is to compress the raw materials into pellets through the relative movement of the flat die and the pressure roller. Flat die pellet mills are often used on family farms.
In the processing of alfalfa pellets, the ring die pellet machine is more popular than the flat die pellet machine for the following reasons:
In summary, the ring die pellet machine has become the preferred equipment in alfalfa pellet processing due to its high production capacity, strong processing capacity, high molding quality and low maintenance cost.
Alfalfa pellet machine can not only process alfalfa, but also a variety of other feed raw materials to produce different types of feed pellets. The following are some common feed types:
Processing these feed raw materials through alfalfa pellet machine can produce high-density, high-nutrition feed pellets, improve feed utilization and animal production performance.
The raw materials and formulas of alfalfa pellets are varied and can be adjusted according to specific needs. The following are several common raw materials and formulas:
By adjusting the raw materials and formula, alfalfa pellets suitable for different animals and uses can be produced.
Alfalfa pellet machines are widely used in many fields, mainly including animal husbandry, energy production and agriculture. In animal husbandry, alfalfa pellet machines are used to produce high-quality feed pellets, suitable for large livestock farms, family farms and feed processing plants.
In the field of energy production, alfalfa pellet machines are used to produce biomass fuel pellets, suitable for biomass fuel companies, power plants and home heating.
In the agricultural field, alfalfa pellet machines are used to produce organic fertilizer pellets, suitable for organic farms and horticultural companies.
People who invest in alfalfa pellet processing equipment mainly include the following categories:
The various continents in the world present different current status and characteristics in alfalfa pellet processing.
In North America, the United States and Canada are the main producers of alfalfa pellets, with advanced processing technology and large production scale, and their products are mainly used for feed and biomass fuel. Argentina and Brazil in South America have also gradually become important production areas, and their rich agricultural resources and suitable climatic conditions provide a good foundation for alfalfa planting and processing.
In Europe, countries such as France, Germany and Spain have a high level of technology in alfalfa pellet processing, and their products are mainly used for organic fertilizer and feed. European countries' emphasis on environmental protection and sustainable development has also promoted the application of alfalfa pellets in the field of biomass fuel.

Africa and the Middle East, such as South Africa, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, have also gradually begun to develop alfalfa pellet processing business to meet local feed and biomass fuel needs.
In general, each continent has its own characteristics in alfalfa pellet processing, and differences in technology and market demand have led to differences in processing technology and product applications.
In addition to alfalfa, there are many other grasses that have similar uses in feed, biomass fuel, and organic fertilizer. Here are ten common grasses:
These grasses have a wide range of applications in feed, biomass fuel and organic fertilizer. Appropriate grasses can be selected for processing and utilization according to specific needs.
Each manufacturer's alfalfa pellet machine quotation is different. Here we will analyze the factors related to the price of the alfalfa meal pellet machine to help customers better understand the reasons behind the price of the equipment.
The market for alfalfa pellet mills is highly competitive, and competition among many brands and manufacturers has brought about price fluctuations.
On the one hand, there are multiple brands and models of alfalfa meal pellet mill machines on the market, and consumers can choose equipment of different brands and specifications according to their own needs; on the other hand, the production costs and sales strategies of different manufacturers will also lead to price differences.
Therefore, consumers should fully consider the market competition and comprehensively evaluate the cost performance when choosing an alfalfa granulator.
The price of alfalfa pellet mill is closely related to its performance. Generally speaking, the better the performance of the equipment, the price will increase accordingly.
For example, a high-performance alfalfa pellet making machine can complete more granulation tasks in a shorter period of time and improve production efficiency, but its price is relatively high; while some alfalfa pellet presses with low output are priced lower. Suitable for use in small alfalfa pellet production lines.
Therefore, alfalfa pellet processors need to choose a suitable model based on their own needs and budget when purchasing equipment to avoid over consumption.
The raw materials and processes used in the alfalfa pellet mill will also affect alfalfa pellet making machine price.
On the one hand, the quality and cost of raw materials will directly affect the quality and price of equipment. For example, an alfalfa pellet mill made of high-quality steel is more sturdy and durable, but the price will increase accordingly.
On the other hand, different production processes and technical levels will also lead to price differences. Some manufacturers use advanced production processes and technologies to improve the performance and stability of their equipment, but their prices will also be higher.
Therefore, consumers should have a certain understanding of raw materials and processes when purchasing equipment, and make choices based on specific circumstances.
After-sales service is also an important factor affecting the price of alfalfa pellet press machine. Some brands and manufacturers provide complete after-sales services, including equipment installation and commissioning, technical training, maintenance, etc., and the prices are usually higher than other manufacturers.
This is because good after-sales service can ensure users' normal use and maintenance, provide timely technical support and solutions, and bring convenience and value to users. When choosing a pelletize alfalfa machine consumers should consider the quality of after-sales service and maintenance cycles, and comprehensively evaluate the relationship between price and service.
It is known that animals have different nutritional needs. Providing proper nutrition to livestock is an important way to ensure their health. Through post-processing in an alfalfa pellet making machine, alfalfa can become nutritionally balanced livestock rations better for animals.
No waste, 10% savings compared to loose hay. It is easier and more accurate to estimate the amount of feed needed by cattle and horses than with traditional hay and grain feeding programs. Nutritionally optimized to meet the dietary needs of animals.
With the development of animal husbandry and feed processing industry, the demand for alfalfa feed is increasing day by day. At the same time, there are also higher requirements for the palatability, utilization, nutritional value, storage and processing of alfalfa feed.
On the other hand, different production processes and technical levels will also lead to price differences. Some manufacturers use advanced production processes and technologies to improve the performance and stability of their equipment, but their prices will also be higher.
In such a situation under the background, ordinary grass products (hay, bales, grass blocks, grass meal) can no longer meet the needs of the market. Forage alfalfa pellet products with good palatability and effective improvement of forage utilization and digestibility are widely favored by the market and are also the main development directions of alfalfa grass product processing.
