Clear Structure of the Alfalfa Pellet Machine
Working Principle
The working principle of the alfalfa pellet making machine is based on the dual effects of mechanical extrusion molding and thermoplastic deformation.
The ground material is fed into the conditioner through a variable-frequency feeder, where it undergoes high-temperature and high-pressure conditioning to become a paste-like substance, which then enters the pelletizing chamber of the alfalfa pellet machine for sale.
Inside the pelletizing chamber, the material is compacted by the rotation of the ring die and the pressing action of the rollers. After being cut by the cutter, it forms finished pellets, which are discharged through the outlet.
Key Technology Of Alfalfa Pellet Machine
Anti-Bridging Variable-Frequency Feeder—Ensuring Smoother Alfalfa Pelleting
Due to its tendency to bridge and poor flowability, alfalfa raw material can form a “bridge” during feeding, which may lead to interruptions, uneven feeding, and fluctuations in the main motor’s current.
RICHI equips its alfalfa pellet machine for sale with dual anti-bridging shafts paired with a single feed shaft, ensuring the uniform and stable discharge of bulk materials. This, in turn, guarantees smoother feeding into the pelletizing chamber and more consistent pellet output.
304 Stainless Steel Conditioner—Higher Material Gelatinization
Alfalfa raw material contains high fiber content, making it difficult to press into shape. It can also cause wear to the ring die, reducing the equipment’s service life.
RICHI constructs the conditioners of its alfalfa pellet machine for sale from 304 stainless steel, facilitating thorough mixing of steam and materials. This not only effectively boosts sterilization efficiency but also enhances pellet binding capacity and forming performance, while significantly reducing ring die wear.
Forced Feeder—Easily Solving Accumulation Issues
When alfalfa raw material drops vertically through the feed chute, its lightweight nature makes it difficult to automatically enter the pelletizing chamber, requiring external force to achieve complete feeding.
The RICHI alfalfa pellet machine for sale is equipped with a forced feeder, which actively and mechanically intervenes to push loose, lightweight alfalfa powder into the pelletizing chamber, maximizing adaptability to the raw material.
Features and Advantages of Alfalfa Pellet Machines

The Entire Process Of Alfalfa Pellet Machine
The alfalfa pellet machine is a key stage—but not the entirety—of alfalfa pellet production. The entire pelleting process is continuous and can be divided into the following seven stages:
Raw Material Cleaning and Screening
01
This stage primarily removes impurities and foreign objects from the alfalfa raw material to ensure higher alfalfa content while preventing damage to the machine from metallic contaminants.
Crushing
02
When the raw material is not alfalfa powder but in stalk form, a corresponding crushing process is required. The crushing system may not achieve the desired result in a single step; sometimes, multiple types of crushers are used to optimize the pelletizing outcome.
Drying
03
The optimal moisture content for alfalfa raw material during pelletizing is 14%–16%. If the raw material exceeds this moisture level, a drying stage is necessary to reduce the moisture content.
Mixing
04
When the raw material used in the alfalfa pelleting machine is a mixture of alfalfa and other materials, a mixer is required to achieve uniform blending of the materials.
Pelletizing
05
After receiving the pre-processed raw material, the alfalfa pellet machine for sale conditions it through a conditioner and compresses it in the pelletizing chamber, transforming the material into finished pellets.
Cooling and Screening
06
The pellets produced by the alfalfa pellet machine for sale are at a high temperature, making them unsuitable for storage and packaging. Their hardness may also not meet quality standards. Therefore, they must be cooled using a cooler and screened to remove fines.
Packaging
07
The cooled and screened finished pellets undergo a series of processes—weighing, filling, and sealing—using RICHI’s fully automated packaging system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Choosing a high-performance and durable alfalfa pellet machine is no simple task—you may encounter many questions along the way. Here, we address some common questions regarding RICHI Machinery’s pellet machines for sale to help clarify your decision:
Can the alfalfa pellet machine for sale process other materials, such as corn stalks or wood chips?
+
Absolutely. Our equipment is multi-functional and versatile. You only need to replace the ring die and adjust the parameters to produce forage pellets, straw pellets, biomass pellets, and more. Please note: Different materials require specific configurations for compression ratio, mold aperture, and cutter length. RICHI will provide you with a complete parameter table and operational training.
How does the ratio of alfalfa to grains affect the capacity of the alfalfa pellet machine for sale?
+
The higher the proportion of alfalfa or forage in the formula, the lower the output of the pellet machine; conversely, a higher grain content increases output. Please provide your exact raw material formula, and our engineers will accurately estimate the actual production capacity and recommend the most suitable model. For example, the CZLH420 model (rated 2–10 tons/hour) may only achieve 1.5–2 tons/hour when processing 100% pure alfalfa.
Can you provide videos and customer cases of the alfalfa pellet machine operating in our region?
+
Yes, as long as your required output for the alfalfa pellet machine for sale is not less than 500 kg/hour, our engineers can tailor an economical solution for you. We will optimize the process and remove non-essential equipment (such as automated packaging systems or boilers) to fit your budget, while ensuring core pelletizing performance. Many customers in Argentina and Indonesia who chose our alfalfa pellet machine for sale started with 1–1.5 ton/hour production lines and recouped their investment within 1–2 years.
My budget is limited. Can you customize a small-scale production line for a startup?
+
We can design a small-scale production line for you. Regarding the alfalfa pellet machine for sale, its direct starting current is approximately 6 times the rated current. Therefore, we recommend using a diesel generator rated at 150 kVA or higher to power it.
What is the required moisture content of alfalfa raw material before pelleting?
+
Regarding the alfalfa pellet machine for sale, the optimal moisture content for alfalfa before pelleting is 14%–16%. If your raw material has high moisture (e.g., fresh alfalfa can reach 50%), we will add a rotary drum dryer to reduce it to 15%–18% before fine-grinding. For dry alfalfa (moisture <20%), it can be directly crushed and pelletized. For smooth operation of the alfalfa pellet machine for sale, moisture control is crucial—too high can clog the die holes, and too low will reduce output and increase dust.
