Poultry Feed Pellet Machine
Application Of Poultry Feed Pellet Machine
Our poultry feed pellet machine is widely used to produce various feed pellets for chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, quails, pigeons, and other animals, for use in poultry farms, feed mills, breeding cooperatives, and family farms.
Furthermore, the raw materials used in our poultry pellet machine are not limited. It can process and grind a variety of crops, including corn, sorghum, soybean meal, sugarcane by-products, and oilseed meal, making one machine suitable for multiple raw materials.
Corn
sorghum
soybean meal
sugarcane stalks
cassava
sunflower meal
rapeseed meal
wheat bran
In addition to crop-based raw materials, special ingredients such as insect protein, single-cell protein, and animal by-products are also suitable. American customers use our poultry feed pellet machine with black soldier fly larvae protein as the raw material; Japanese customers use our pellet machine with DHA algal oil as the raw material; and Australian customers use our pellet machine with beef bone meal as the raw material, etc.
The Structure Composition Of Poultry Feed Pellet Machine
The structure of a poultry feed pellet machine is not complex, consisting of a feeding system, conditioning system, conveying system, pelletizing system, driving system, and lubrication system.
Feeding System
RICHI’s feeding system employs a variable‑frequency feeder, which is specifically designed for handling raw materials characterized by poor fluidity and large density variations, such as bran, alfalfa meal, and cottonseed meal.
Conditioning System
A single-layer conditioner is often used for ordinary feed (such as layer and broiler finishing pellets). For higher‑requirement products (like broiler starter feed or export‑grade feed), a double‑layer conditioner is recommended.
chute
Poultry feed raw materials are mixed in various proportions, and the chute leading to the pelletizing chamber needs to have good wear resistance, strong corrosion resistance, and anti-sticking properties. RICHI poultry feed pellet machines meet all these requirements.
Pelletizing System
High-starch materials like corn and wheat suit ring dies with a medium-to-low L/D ratio (4:1–6:1); ordinary carbon steel is sufficient. In contrast, high-protein and high-fiber materials need wear-resistant ring dies and high-grip rollers.
Driving System
RICHI pellet making machines for poultry feed use a 4P Siemens motor as the main drive, making the pellet mill run more stably, with less vibration, lower noise, and higher overall efficiency.
Lubrication System
During operation, poultry feed pellet machines wear due to abrasive raw materials (e.g., sunflower hulls, stone powder), internal friction, and idling. Regular addition of engine oil and lithium‑based grease greatly extends their lifespan.
Poultry Feed Pellet Machine Model
When designing poultry feed pellet machines, RICHI focuses on the user experience. Through years of manufacturing experience, we have developed a range of pellet mills with different models and power options for you to choose from.

Working Principle
The pre-crushed, powdered material enters the variable-frequency feeder, and the material is transported into the conditioner via the feeder’s variable-diameter rotating shaft.
The conditioner is a crucial part of poultry feed production. In this stage, dry saturated steam must be used to ensure stable pressure and a moisture content of no more than 5%.
At the same time, the conditioning temperature needs to be maintained at 80-88℃, and protein-based materials require fine-tuning to ensure thorough sterilization and gelatinization.
In the pelletizing chamber of the poultry feed pellet machine, the rollers compress the gelatinized material, and the cutter cuts out uniform finished pellets according to requirements.
Advantages And Features Of Poultry Feed Pellet Machines
In poultry feed production equipment, the poultry feed pellet machine is the core component. A reliable and durable pellet mill is crucial for a smooth production process and high-quality finished pellets.
A customer in Russia has been using a RICHI poultry pellet machine for 8 years. Even with the rapid development and scaling up of the poultry industry, the pellet mill continues to generate economic benefits for the factory, thanks to proper maintenance.
More Stable Operation
The variable-frequency feeder, paired with a 4P-driven Siemens motor and using SKF bearings, ensures the continuous supply of raw materials during the pelletizing process, preventing the machine from running idle and resulting in a more orderly and stable operation.
High Nutritional Value
The mixed materials processed through the 304 stainless steel conditioner exhibit higher levels of cooking and sterilization, thereby ensuring the complete safety of poultry consumption. Simultaneously, this process effectively prevents poultry from being picky eaters.
Good Economic Benefits
The finished pellets produced by the RICHI poultry feed pellet machine solve the problems of waste and excessive dust associated with powdered feed. Additionally, the pelleted feed contains more nutrients, which can effectively enhance meat and egg production.

The Entire Process Of Poultry Feed Pellet
The poultry feed pelleting process mainly includes six stages: crushing, mixing, pelleting, cooling, screening, and packaging. Simultaneously, we equip different operating equipment at each stage to meet the diverse needs of different customers, thus ensuring the maximization of economic benefits in poultry feed pelleting.
Drying
The drying stage is not a necessary stage for every equipment setup; it mainly depends on the moisture content of your raw materials. The ideal moisture content for poultry feed pelleting is 12%-13%.
Crushing
Before pelleting, materials such as corn, brewer’s grains, and agglomerated fish meal need to be crushed into powder to facilitate subsequent stages, or for the production of powdered or crushed feed.
Mixing
To improve the nutritional value of poultry feed, a mixer is usually used to mix various materials before pelleting, ensuring uniform mixing of solid materials.
Liquid Addition
The liquid addition system is mainly used to add liquid nutrients such as oils, liquid amino acids, liquid vitamins, or molasses to solid materials, improving the palatability of the feed and promoting animal health.
Pelleting
Through high-temperature conditioning and high-pressure rolling, the poultry pellet machine achieves high gelatinization, cooking, and sterilization of feed, yielding pellets with greater nutritional value and improved storability.
Extrusion
To achieve higher economic value and produce higher-quality poultry feed, some customers choose to use a feed extruder machine instead of a poultry feed pellet machine for production.
Cooling
The finished poultry feed contains rich nutrients and is at a very high temperature. It needs to be cooled by a cooler before packaging and long-term storage.
Screening
The cooled pellets will enter a rotary grading screen for screening. Unqualified crushed materials will undergo a new round of pelleting to ensure higher quality finished pellets.
Packaging
Based on your needs, you can choose from different packaging systems with various specifications, including 5 kg, 10 kg, 15 kg, 20 kg, and 25 kg.
