What are the types of animal feed pellet mill?
With the continuous progress of the breeding industry, the demand for feed is increasing day by day, the number of farms and feed plants has also increased several times. Whether for animal farms or feed factories, animal feed pellet mill both has a high utilization rate. Large animal farms use feed pellet production line or powder production line, while small and medium-sized farms also choose to use small pellet feed production line, powder production line, or directly choose the feed pellet machine stand-alone equipment. But how much do you know about the animal feed pellet makers? Below I have made a brief introduction to the two main types of feed pellet mill.
Generally speaking, animal feed milling equipment is divided into three types, one is the ring die feed pellet machine, one is the flat die feed pellet machine, and one is the feed extruder. Today we mainly get to know the first two types. The floating fish feed extruder machine is mainly used to make floating material, to make the pellet feed not sink, and suitable for fisheries fish and shrimp feed. The ring die feed pellet machine and flat die feed pellet machine are more applied to pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, and other livestock and poultry animals.

Ring Die Animal feed pellet mill
Ring die pellet machine is generally used in animal feed production lines. Because of its large output, high internal maturity, it is well loved by many customers. Generally, the smaller ring die feed pellet mill is model SZLH 250. And its output is 1-2T/H. Commonly used larger ring die feed pellet mill is SZLH420, the hourly output of pellet feed is between 8 tons – 12 tons. Of course, RICHI Machinery can customize pellet mill animal feed according to your needs, we can design 1-100T/H feed pellet mill.

Flat Die animal feed pellet mill
Flat die feed pellet mill has low output compared with ring die feed pellet mill, generally lower than 1000KG/H. Moreover, ring die pellet mill does not contain conditioner device. So the material maturity is not as high as ring die pellet mill. And the compression ratio is small, which is suitable for fewer animals. So more customers who want to make feed pellets choose to buy ring die pellet mill to produce feed pellets. However, flat die pellet mill also has its own advantages. Such as lower price, smaller size, and more convenient to use.

How to choose the right animal feed pellet mill?
Whether it is a farmer or a feed processing plant, you may feel confused on how to choose the right animal feed pellet making machine. Regarding the choice of pelletizing machine, first of all, we should clarify our own needs, how much output, how much budget. Above briefly introduced under the flat die and ring die two kinds of granulators, then how to choose between the two?


Here are some suggestions for your reference when choosing a pelletizer.
- First of all, from the aspect of output. If your production demand is relatively small, the output is less than 1000kg/h, for your own breeding feed use, it is recommended to use flat die pellet mill.
- On the contrary, if your production demand is relatively large, to start a feed mill or medium and large farms, we recommend you to use ring die pelletizer. Ring die animal feed pellet making machine has high efficiency, large output, low energy consumption, more suitable for users with large output demand.
- When making concentrate feed, for example, when making pig feed, chicken feed or full-price feed, many people choose a ring die feed pellet mill.
- When the feed quality is high, choose ring die pelletizer. The maturing degree of ring die pellet maker is much higher than that of flat die pellet maker, and the luster of the produced feed pellets will be better.
- Ring die pellet mill sealing is also better than flat die pellet mill, in the pelletizing process will not produce a lot of dust, very suitable for production line use!
- In terms of budget, if you have a low budget for investing in a feed pellet mill, only about two thousand dollars and your production needs are not high, then a flat die pellet mill can meet your needs.
- If you have a sufficient budget, large production demand, and pay more attention to the pellet quality, we still recommend you buy a ring mold animal feed pellet machine. Generally speaking, the cost of animal feed milling machine is between $7,000-$100,000, which depends on the model of pelletizer you choose.

Frequently Asked Questions about the animal feed pellet mill
Here are some FAQs about animal feed pellet makers. If you have any other pelletizing problems, welcome to contact us. And we will contact you within one business day to answer your questions.
What are the reasons for low efficiency and low output of animal feed pellet machine?
After purchasing the animal feed milling machine, the most annoying thing that the animal pellet mill has low efficiency and doesn’t produce any feed pellets, of course, this kind of situation is rarely occurs. Especially if you buy our company’s ring die animal pellet maker, this situation will almost never occur. And our after-sales and technical team are at your service all the way, we will help you to solve any problems you encounter in the process of pelletizing. Below is my summary of several possible causes of low output of animal feed milling equipment and slow discharging, for your reference.
Pelleting chamber feed port, mold hole blockage
First of all, you can check whether the feeding port and mold hole of the feed pellet mill are blocked. If they are blocked, it will greatly affect the pelletizing efficiency and pelletizing effect of the animal feed milling machine. In this case, we give you two suggestions: one is to clean and inspect the machine regularly. The other is to use oil before and after the use of the granulator over the animal pellet mill, to avoid the occurrence of clogging phenomenon, affecting the output of the pelletizer.
Inappropriate moisture content of raw materials, too large size
Animal pellet mill is a kind of dry in and dry out mechanical equipment, the raw material water content has strict requirements, if the raw material water content is not suitable, it is also difficult to ensure good pelletizing effect. If the water content of your raw material is too big or too small, the pellets are hard to be molded. You can adjust the material to the right moisture content through auxiliary equipment such as drying machine, tempering device and so on. Generally speaking, it is best to have a moisture content of about 15% before the material enters the pelletizing chamber. In addition to the moisture content is not appropriate, the size of the material will also affect the effect of pelletizing, you can use the crusher to get appropriate fineness of the material and then put into the animal feed pelelt maker for pelletizing.
Pressure roller and ring die gap between the inappropriate
No matter what machinery, the use of a long time may appear wear and tear. The pressure roller of the animal feed milling machine is the same, in the long-term work of pelletizing materials, pressure roller will inevitably wear, which requires us to timely inspection, timely replacement of the pressure roller. In addition, the gap between the ring die and pressure roller should be adjusted to the right distance to ensure the pelletizing effect. The ring die and pressure roller of RICHI livestock feed pellet mill are made of stainless steel, long service life, you can rest assured that you can choose. Moreover, we will customize the production process for you according to your production needs, including the adjustment of the gap between the pressure roller and the ring die, our technical team will also give you professional guidance suggestions.
Low voltage
Electricity provides power for the animal feed mill, which is the premise to ensure that the pelletizer can work efficiently. So the voltage must not be too low, or it will be easy to appear the problem of unstable efficiency of the animal feed milling machine.
