Better suited to local feedstock
South African ruminant feed typically contains 30%-50% silage or hay. European models experience 3-4 blockages per shift on average. The SZLH420’s triple-layer conditioning system paired with an eccentric roller system shows fewer than 1 blockage per shift in 800-hour field operation logs, enabling continuous production without power reduction.
Minimized Downtime Losses
South Africa exempts import duties on wear parts like ring dies and press rolls for our pelletizer machine for sale South Africa, with only 15% VAT fully deductible. RICHI maintains a 1,200m² transit warehouse in Johannesburg stocking over 6 sets of 420 ring dies. Parts arrive on-site within 48 hours of notification, reducing die change time to just 2 days.
Lower Capital Investment
RICHI has established a framework agreement with local Standard Bank of South Africa for customized equipment financing leases. The total price for a 110 kW pelletizer machine is approximately $650,000 USD. Customers only need to pay a 30% down payment, with the remaining balance paid in 24 equal installments of principal and interest.
Frequently Asked Questions
When purchasing a Pelletizer Machine, you may encounter many questions. The following are questions raised by our South African customers during their inquiries, and we hope the answers will be helpful to you.
1. The power supply in South Africa is not very stable, with frequent power outages. What type of power supply does your pelletizer machine for sale south africa use?
+
This depends on the power grid configuration of your factory. If your factory currently has a stable power grid and a backup generator, we recommend using a three-phase electric Pelletizer Machine. If the power grid conditions are poor, it’s best to choose a diesel-driven or power transmission shaft-driven Pelletizer Machine.
Of course, RICHI can provide both types of Pelletizer Machines.
2.Can your Pelletizer Machine process local raw materials such as alfalfa and EFB in South Africa?
+
Yes. RICHI has specially designed a forage Pelletizer Machine for these types of materials with poor flowability. The machine is equipped with an anti-bridging feeder and a forced feeder, which can not only process these local South African raw materials but also effectively process them into high-quality pellets.
3.If wear parts of the Pelletizer Machine, such as the ring die and press roller, have problems in South Africa, can we buy replacement parts?
+
Yes. We have a parts warehouse in South Africa dedicated to our pelletizer machine for sale South Africa, and we can deliver the parts within 2-3 business days after you place your order. In addition, our press rollers and ring dies are made of alloy steel, with a service life of 1500-3000 hours, so you can use them with confidence.
4.What should I do if there are horizontal cracks on the surface of the pellets produced by the Pelletizer Machine?
+
Cracks in the finished pellets are mainly due to damage to the flared opening of the die hole caused by metal shavings. This can be solved by polishing with diamond grinding paste.
5.How long does the entire installation and commissioning process of the Pelletizer Machine take? Can you provide technical support?
+
Generally, the installation and commissioning of a single unit of our pelletizer machine for sale South Africa only takes 1-2 days, while a production line takes a little longer, about 3-5 days. RICHI has a professional technical service team in South Africa that can provide on-site installation and commissioning services.
