alfalfa pellet Production Line
Alfalfa pellet production line is a complete line for making alfalfa pellets. It mainly consists of crushing alfalfa, drying alfalfa, pelletizing alfalfa, cooling alfalfa pellets, packing alfalfa pellets and other sections. The alfalfa pellet plant is used to produce alfalfa pellets with high efficiency and low energy consumption.
About alfalfa pellet production line
This is a test run video of an alfalfa pellet production line for one of our customers. The customer’s main raw material is alfalfa grass, and we customized this line to meet the customer’s needs. The video shows you how alfalfa pellets are produced. Simply put, the process of alfalfa pellet production is: crushing – drying – pelletizing – cooling – packing.
Of course, the production process and the configuration of the alfalfa pellet line is different according to the different needs of different customers. For example, in the configuration of the production line, some customers have only one factory and want us to provide a complete set of equipment from crushing to packing. Some customers have their own crushing and drying equipment, and only need a pelletizing equipment, then we will recommend a suitable wood chip pelletizing machine according to the customer’s output needs.
In the design of production process, we will strictly according to the customer’s raw materials and production needs for customers to design the most satisfactory process. Some customers’ raw materials are dry alfalfa grass, no need to dry, then in the production process, the drying section can be omitted.
We have customized alfalfa pellet mill line for thousands of customers, and each customer’s situation is different. However, our professional technicians have many years of design experience, and can design a perfect pelletizing solution according to each customer’s trial needs.

Applications of alfalfa pellet plant
- The alfalfa pellet production line can process all kinds of biomass raw materials, such as wood chips, grass, bamboo, straw and so on.
- The alfalfa pellets produced have a wide range of uses and can be used for animal feed, animal bedding, biomass pellet fuel, etc.
- It is customizable. Different pelletizing solutions are available.
Benefits of Alfalfa pellets
- Can be used both as animal feed and as biomass pellet fuel.
- High density and small size, which can save floor space
- Alfalfa pellets are only about 1/4 of the volume of raw licorice, which is convenient for storage and transportation.
- Alfalfa pellets, as feed pellets, are easily digested and absorbed, and can promote the growth and development of animals.
- As fuel, it has high calorific value, low ash content and does not pollute the environment.
how to make alfalfa pellets?
After learning so much about the benefits of alfalfa pellets, you sure can’t wait to learn how alfalfa to make pellets! Below I will introduce how to make alfalfa pellets by introducing the production process of alfalfa pellet production line.
The production process of alfalfa pellet making line mainly includes: raw material preparation, crushing section, drying section, pelletizing section, cooling section and packing section.
(1) Preparation of raw materials
First, prepare sufficient raw materials. The preparation of raw materials is a prerequisite for making good alfalfa pellets. Before crushing the alfalfa grass, it is necessary to clean the alfalfa grass to avoid the impurities contained in the alfalfa grass from damaging the crushing equipment. If the size of alfalfa grass is too long, it is also necessary to use slicing equipment to cut the alfalfa grass first.
(2) Crushing section
After a simple treatment of alfalfa grass into the crusher for crushing, this step needs to crush alfalfa grass to 2-3mm chips. The alfalfa fuel pellets made in this way can be burned more fully and the quality of the pellets is higher! And if the size of alfalfa grass is too big, it will cause the pelletizer to clog and affect the production line pelletizing.
(3) Drying section
The crushed alfalfa grass enters into the dryer through the conveying equipment. After drying in the dryer, the moisture content of alfalfa grass reaches 15%, which is the most suitable moisture content for pelletizing. The moisture content of alfalfa grass is also a key factor affecting the quality of alfalfa pellets, the alfalfa grass is too dry or too wet will affect the pelletizing effect, or even can’t pelletize, so it is crucial to strictly control the moisture content of alfalfa grass at about 15% before pelletizing.
(4) Pelletizing section
After the moisture and size of alfalfa grass are processed to a suitable range, it is conveyed into the lucerne pellet machine for pelletizing. The material enters the pelletizer from a stainless steel feeder with anti-caking bins and is pelletized into solid alfalfa pellets that are extruded through the die holes by the ring die and pressure rollers. The size of the alfalfa pellets can be controlled by changing the ring die and adjusting the cutter equipment.
(5) cooling section
The alfalfa pellets coming out of the pellet mill have a lot of moisture and heat and cannot be sealed and bagged immediately. At this time, according to the environment to cool down the alfalfa pellets, if you are surrounded by pelletizing environment is relatively dry, you can choose to dry indoors and outdoors. However, if your production is large and the pelleting environment is humid, we recommend you to use a cooling machine to cool the pellets, which is the choice of most of our customers.
RICHI Machinery’s counterflow cooler adopts the advanced counterflow cooling principle with high cooling efficiency, which can cool the alfalfa pellets to room temperature very quickly.
(6) packing section
The cooled alfalfa pellets can be stored in bags or directly stacked.
