Technical Features
Alfalfa has high fiber content and strong elasticity, which places higher demands on the structure and components of pellet mills. However, ordinary pellet mills are prone to die clogging, rapid wear, and unstable pellet formation.
Thus, RICHI has optimized key core components specifically for alfalfa pelleting. From the ring die and press rollers to the conditioning system, everything is designed to ensure high efficiency, stability, and durability.
RICHI’s advantage lies not in a single component, but in a complete core system built around the specific requirements of alfalfa pelleting. Each core component of the RICHI alfalfa pellet mill is engineered for durability, stability, and efficiency, delivering a cost-effective solution for high-quality alfalfa pelletizing.

Efficient Pelletizing with RICHI Cattle Feed Pellet Machine
A cattle feed pellet machine works by compressing and shaping mixed cattle feed raw materials into uniform, high-density pellets through mechanical extrusion.
Prepared cattle feed raw materials are first fed evenly into the pelletizing chamber.
Next, the materials undergo conditioning under controlled heat and moisture, which softens fibers and gelatinize the starch.
Then, the conditioned feed is compressed by rollers through a ring die under high pressure, forming dense and uniform pellets.
Afterward, an adjustable cutting system controls pellet length and final pellet shape.
Finally, the freshly formed pellets are cooled and screened to enhance hardness and durability before being packed as finished cattle feed products.
