WHY Make grass pellets


Grass feed pellets not only provide rich nutrition for animals, but also have more health benefits, such as reducing the use of antibiotics and hormones in traditional roughage, and improving the safety and quality of livestock and poultry products. At the same time, the lower cost of grass feed pellets can reduce farming costs and improve farming efficiency compared to traditional feeds. And grass pellets can be used as biomass fuel pellets to generate electricity and heat, which greatly reduces environmental pollution.

Benefits of using grass pellet mill to make grass pellets for feed

 In order to improve the efficiency of farming, most farmers have started to use grass pellets to feed livestock. Grass pellets have the benefits of being unaffected by the seasons, being small in size, having a high feed conversion rate, increasing palatability, and expanding feed sources.

Unaffected by seasons

The forage used to feed livestock will be affected by the season, especially in the winter forage yellowing amount is small, so that livestock lack of grass to eat, in the warm season forage growth is strong, more grass livestock can not eat, but you can use the warm season forage processed into grass pellets to save in the winter to feed livestock and poultry.

Increase palatability

Processing grass into grass particles can improve the quality of forage, such as coumarin and other special flavor of meadowfoam, livestock do not like to eat, but made of grass particles, then into a strong palatability, high nutritional value of forage.

High feed conversion rate

Grass pellet feed has a high conversion rate, and can obtain more meat, eggs and milk when feeding livestock and poultry in winter.

Expand feed source

Some branches of hard plants, crushed and processed into grass particles, can become livestock like to eat forage; crop by-products, husks, straw and a variety of leaves processed into grass particles can be used to feed livestock and poultry.

favorable for digestion

Favorable for digestion


The process of making pellets, through high temperature, appropriate moisture content plus stirring can be starch raw materials cooked, softened and bonded. In the high-speed mechanical energy, the raw material will increase the degree of crushing as much as possible, which is conducive to digestion.

good flavor and texture

good flavor and texture


Through the mechanical energy extrusion after high temperature made of pellets, was half-cooked to fully cooked state, flavor and texture good. Other materials can also be sprayed onto the surface of the pellets for good taste.

balanced nutritional ratio

Balanced nutritional ratio


Formulated feed is first mixed with a certain proportion of water mixing, so that each particle to achieve a stable nutrient composition, and at the same time can be flexible according to the different objects of breeding and growth of different periods of time, the animal feeding more balanced nutrition.

benefits of grass pellets for burning fuel

Benefits of grass pellets for burning fuel

Grass pellet fuel calorific value and coal and its close, is an inexhaustible, inexhaustible alternative to coal burning the most economical clean energy. Here are the benefits of grass pellets as fuel:

  • Grass pellet fuel has a high calorific value, low ash content, high energy efficiency, these advantages make its use is very versatile, in many industries can see its figure.
  • Can be used for civil heating and living energy: grass pellet fuel has high combustion utilization, easy to store, easy to use, safe and hygienic.
  • Used in biomass industrial boilers: as the main fuel for industrial boilers, it can replace coal, heavy oil and natural gas to solve environmental pollution.
  • Power generation: it can be used as fuel for thermal power generation. Every 10,000 tons of grass pellet fuel burned can replace 0.8 million tons of standard coal and reduce SO2 emission.

Grass pellet fuel is grass and other waste crops such as corn stalks, wheat straw, wood chips and other recycling, after crushing, drying, compression processing into a variety of molding, can be directly burned a new type of clean fuel.

Working principle of grass pellet maker

The ring die and pressure roller of the grass pellet mill are made of excellent stainless steel. After special treatment, the main shaft and ring die drive the pressure roller to rotate under friction. The raw materials are pressed into gras pellets and extruded from the die hole under the extrusion of the pressure roller, the length of the pellets can be adjusted by the cutting device.
There is no need to add water or dry during the pelletizing process. After natural warming of about 70 degrees, the starch can be pasteurized, and the pellets have deep internal maturity, smooth surface, high hardness, and can be stored for a long time. It is the ideal equipment for professional family raising rabbits, pigs, sheep, cows, and small and medium-sized feed processing factories to reduce the cost of breeding and improve economic benefits.

grass pellet production process

How do you process grass into grass pellets with a grass pelletizer? Check out the description and video now to learn about the pelletizing process! If you still have questions? Feel free to contact us. Alternatively, you can look at the feed pellet production line for a more detailed description of the feed pellet pelletizing process or see the biomass pellet production line apply for other materials to learn more about the pelletizing process.

01 Crushing

The grass is crushed in a crusher to a fineness of 2-3mm for subsequent pelletizing.

02 Drying

After crushing, here come the crucial process: adjust the moisture content of the raw materials. Too high or too low moisture will greatly affect the pelletizing effect. The optimal moisture content of grass pellets is 13% to 15%. A dryer is used to remove excess moisture from the grass. Drying is an important part of the grass pelletizing process if your raw materials is too wet. as the moisture content greatly affects the pelleting effect.

03 Pelletizing

Typically, we have feeders equipped with anti-caking bins to accomplish the feeding. Grass is fed through the feeder into the pelletizer in an orderly and uniform manner. Due to the lightweight nature of the grass, it is not easy to enter the pelletizing chamber directly, so we are equipped with a forced feeder to make the grass enter the pelletizing chamber smoothly.

04 Cooling

Congratulations you have finished pelletizing and obtained grass pellets. But how to maintain the shape and smooth appearance of the grass pellets? The freshly made grass pellets are soft and hot, and can be easily deformed and broken, so we need to cool the pellets immediately. This is a very important step.

05 Packaging

Grass pellets can be packed in bags or boxes with packing machines. Then, transport the grass pellets to the market to make money.

FAQ about the Grass pellet mill

Reasons for the appearance of powder when making grass pellet mills

When pressing pellets in a grass pellet making machine, sometimes it is found that along with the pellets there is a lot of powder coming out together. In serious cases, it feels like the material is leaking directly from the top. Such a situation will affect the quality of the pellets on the one hand, and on the other hand, it will also have a certain impact on the output, and this phenomenon may indicate that there is a problem inside the biomass pellet machine.

The following is to carefully analyze the failure.

the pelletizing system failure

This is what we do not want to see, but it is also a frequent cause of disease. Failure is mostly due to the material is not clean hard objects caused by the pelletizer damage. There is also a bearing problem may also cause this problem. To press a good biomass pellets, the end is to choose a reasonably designed equipment, which is fundamental.

the operation of the unreasonable

Too much material feeding, resulting in abnormal operation of the machine. Another is that the granulator itself is defective in design. Resulting in the appearance of the gap appears this situation. Because of these two reasons for powder, the solution is to stop feeding, and then open the machine, the material cleaned up. Then you should choose some good machines. Our biomass pellet machine design combination is very tight, not because of this situation.

Machine aging

The host speed slows down, making the frequency different caused by some raw materials are not processed. This phenomenon occurs in some old biomass briquette machine, now like a slightly new biomass pellet machine, have eliminated this phenomenon. Then there is now the manufacturing process is also greatly improved, it can be said that the new equipment bought in the past two years will not appear this problem.

Things to note when using a grass pellet mill

The following is to carefully analyze the failure.

before pelletizing, ensure that the size of the material is less than 3mm

Generally speaking, very few materials are less than 3mm in size, then you need an auxiliary tool, that is, the hammer mill. If you want to add other auxiliary materials, they need to be mixed with the mixer and then start pelletizing.

the adhesion of the material itself

Generally speaking, full of starch materials are better adhesion, such as sun-dried straws and other materials, during the pelletizing is no need to add other adhesives, relying on the material itself can achieve the effect of pelletizing.  But if the choice is more serious lignification of pasture, or sawdust and other such, the production of particles may not be so satisfactory, so in the proportion of feed is recommended to match the coarse and fine.

Moisture requirements of the material itself

This point is in fact the material itself has certain requirements, the material itself contains moisture generally speaking control range between 12% -18%.  If the material moisture is too large is soft and not easy to form feed pellets, if the material moisture is too small, the pelletizing effect is not good.  Therefore, it is recommended to reasonably dry the material to control the excessive loss of moisture.
