Hay Pellet Machine For Sale
RICHI hay pellet machines turn hay, grass, and crop residues into clean, high-density biomass fuel with stable performance and low energy use. Perfect for heating systems and biomass boilers, the machine also supports producing hay-based feed pellets for cattle and sheep when needed.
What Is The Hay Pellet Machine?
A hay pellet machine is a ring die pellet machine designed to compress loose hay, grasses, and other forage materials into dense, nutritious, and easy-to-digest feed pellets for livestock and ruminant animals. Unlike raw hay, which is bulky, difficult to store, and inconsistent in nutritional intake, feed pellets produced by the machine have a uniform size, stable density, balanced nutrition, and significantly improved digestibility.
The machine operates by feeding dried or semi-dried hay into the pelletizing chamber, where rollers apply strong mechanical pressure to force the fibers through the die holes. The compacted forage material is then cut into uniform pellets suitable for animal feeding. The resulting pellets help improve feed utilization, reduce waste, and make transportation and long-term storage more efficient.
Hay pellets can be processed for cattle, sheep, goats, horses, deer, and other ruminants. When combined with nutritional additives or mixed forage formulas, the machine can produce high-value feed pellets tailored to different animal growth stages. This makes the hay pellet machine an essential equipment for farm, animal feed mill plant, and livestock operations aiming for efficient feed management.
Although the equipment is mainly designed for feed production, it can also process hay into biomass fuel pellets when needed. By adjusting the die or using a different pelletizing configuration, the machine can produce dense fuel pellets that offer stable combustion and are suitable for pellet stoves or small heating systems. This dual-use capability provides added flexibility for farms seeking both feed processing and renewable energy utilization.

How To Produce Hay Pellets
Producing high-quality hay feed pellets requires proper raw material preparation and efficient mechanical compression. With a RICHI hay pellet machine, the entire process—including conditioning, pelletizing, and shaping—is completed within a single integrated system. This ensures dense, uniform, and nutritionally consistent feed pellets with stable durability and suitable moisture levels for long-term storage. By using this streamlined process, farms and feed producers can improve feed digestibility, reduce storage and transportation volume, minimize wastage, and transform loose hay and forage materials into a practical, easy-to-handle feed resource for cattle, sheep, horses, and other ruminants.
1
Raw Material Preparation:
The production of high-quality hay pellets begins with selecting the right raw materials. Fresh or dried hay, straw, or other fibrous agricultural residues should be clean, free of stones. Proper raw material preparation ensures efficient pelletizing, reduces wear on the machine, and guarantees uniform pellet quality.
2
Crushing Section:
Large or long-fiber hay and straw need to be crushed or ground into smaller particles before pelletizing. This step improves fiber binding and ensures smooth compression in the pelletizing process. The resulting fine particles provide better density and shape for the final pellets.
3
Mixing Section:
In the mixing section, the crushed hay and other feed ingredients are blended evenly to ensure balanced nutrition. A feed mixer combines fibers, grains, and additives uniformly, creating a consistent mixture that improves pellet quality and prevents nutrient segregation.
4
Pelletizing Section:
In the pelletizing section, the mixed hay feed enters the ring die pellet mill, where high pressure and friction compress the material into dense, uniform feed pellets. Stable extrusion ensures proper pellet hardness, smooth surface, and high digestibility for livestock.
5
Cooling and Screening:
Fresh pellets leave the press at around 70–90°C and must be cooled to room temperature using a pellet cooler machine. Then, a vibrating screener removes dust and fine powder, ensuring uniform pellet size and cleanliness.
6
Packing Section:
Once cooled, the pellets can be packaged in bags or stored in bulk for fuel use or optional feed applications.

How much doses hay pellet machine for sale cost?
+
The price of a pellet machine for hay varies depending on its intended use and production volume. If you primarily produce fuel pellets, the equipment price generally ranges from $10,000 to $90,000. This is because fuel pellets have higher requirements for compression ratios, motor power, and certain auxiliary equipment (such as dryers). If you plan to process feed pellets, the price typically ranges from $7,000 to $85,000. The cost will vary depending on the processing configuration and overall requirements for feed pellets.
In short, the most important thing is to choose the appropriate configuration based on the characteristics of your raw materials, your target output, and the intended use of the pellets. Tell us your hay type, hourly production rate, and whether the pellets are for fuel or feed, and we will recommend the most suitable and cost-effective configuration and quote for you.
Can your hay pellet machine handle mixed materials like hay + straw + wood chips?
+
Yes, it can. In fact, many customers use our pellet machine for sale specifically because it handles mixed biomass materials very well. As long as the raw materials are properly crushed—usually to 3–5 mm—the machine can pelletize hay, straw, and wood chips together without any issue.
A customer from Australia recently had a similar situation. He needed to turn leftover hay, roadside straw, and a small amount of wood chips into fuel pellets for farm heating. After adjusting the moisture level and selecting the right compression ratio, the machine produced dense, clean-burning pellets with excellent durability. His feedback was that the mixed-material pellets actually burned better than single raw material pellets.
So yes, mixed materials are perfectly fine. Just tell us your ratio of hay, straw, and wood chips, and we’ll help you configure the machine for the best pellet quality.
Can the machine produce pellets for both fuel and optional feed?
+
Technically, yes — the hay pellet machine can produce both fuel pellets and feed pellets. With adjustable compression settings and interchangeable ring dies, it is possible to switch between fuel and feed production.
However, we do not recommend using the same machine for both purposes. Fuel pellets and feed pellets have different hygiene and safety requirements. Mixing the two production types can risk contamination and affect pellet quality. Most customers prefer to use separate dies or dedicated machines for feed and fuel to ensure safe, clean, and consistent production.
We tried a small pellet mill before, but it kept clogging. Will your machine handle long-fiber hay better?
+
Yes, our pellet machine is specifically designed to handle long-fiber materials like hay, straw, and other high-fiber biomass. Many customers have faced similar issues with small domestic pellet mills, where long fibers cause blockages and uneven pellet quality.
Can you help us build a full hay pellet production line?
+
Yes, that’s possible. Besides the hay pellet machine for sale, RICHI also offers other equipment and complete pellet plant solutions for biomass pellet production line. These lines cover processes such as raw material crushing, drying, conditioning, pelleting, cooling, and packaging.
