How Does It Work?
The core principle of the feed granulator machine is to use mechanical pressure and appropriate heat to press powdered feed raw materials into uniform and compact granular feed.
The production process begins with feeding. First, corn, soybean meal, wheat bran, and various nutritional additives are fed into the feed inlet through a forced feeder and mixed with steam in the conditioner for heating. This step not only softens the raw materials but also improves the palatability and digestibility of the feed, while enhancing the hardness and durability of the pellets.
The softened materials are sent to the granulation chamber, where the high-speed rotating rollers will forcefully press them into the die holes. After the raw materials are extruded out of the die holes, they form uniform cylindrical pellets. The adjustable cutting knives outside the mold will cut the pellets into different lengths as needed.
The cut pellets are discharged through the outlet, cooled by the cooler, and then enter the packaging stage or are directly used for poultry, livestock, and aquatic animal feeding.
This granulation process not only ensures uniform pellet size and balanced nutritional distribution, but also effectively reduces feed waste and improves the feeding conversion rate. Therefore, whether in small and medium-sized farms or large feed factories, the animal feed granulator machine is an efficient and economical feed processing equipment.
detail structure Of feed granulator
The RICHI SZLH series machine has significant advantages in terms of equipment structure, material selection, core configuration and operational performance. It aims to achieve the goals of high output, high efficiency, low energy consumption and long service life, providing stable and reliable granulation solutions for various animal feed mill plants.
1.
High-quality stainless steel structure, with stronger corrosion resistance.
The key parts of the feed granulator machine are made of 304 stainless steel, which is different from the 201 stainless steel used by some manufacturers. It has superior anti-oxidation performance and structural strength. The outer shell is processed with embossed stainless steel technology, which not only enhances the aesthetic appearance but also improves the wear resistance and rigidity of the equipment.
Variable-frequency feeding system, intelligent control of output.
A variable-frequency feeding device is adopted, which can adjust the feeding speed based on the load current of the main motor. This enables the uniform entry of materials into the granulation chamber, maximizing the output per unit time and protecting the motor from overloading. The design is compatible with a forced feeding device, especially suitable for raw materials containing light and fluffy materials such as grass, shells, and skins, ensuring continuous and stable feeding.

3.
Multi-layer mixer, for targeted conditioning of different feeds.
Configure single-layer, double-layer or triple-layer conditioner, and select different steam conditioning paths based on the target animal species. The RICHI conditioner adopts an extended and thickened structure design, with built-in forged blades, which are more wear-resistant, provide a more uniform stirring effect.
- Single Layer: Suitable for general livestock feed such as pig, chicken, and poultry feed.
- Double Layer: Ideal for producing fish feed with denser and more uniform pellets. Also suitable for high-end pig feed…, which requires improved gelatinization and higher pellet quality.
- Triple Layer: Designed specifically for shrimp feed, where extended conditioning ensures superior water stability. Also applicable for premium fish feed that demands long conditioning time and excellent pellet durability.
Core components with internationally leading configuration.
The main motor of the feed granulator machine adopts the Siemens brand and supports four-level, six-level or eight-level power configurations. The transmission system is compact and runs smoothly. The cross-section of the press roller – uses 40CrMnTi, and the eccentric shaft structure can better adjust the distance between the ring die and the press roller. Supports rapid mold replacement system to improve the efficiency of material change.

Advantages Of RICHI feed granulator machine
The RICHI SZLH series machine is not just a piece of equipment, but also a core equipment to improve feed quality and optimize breeding efficiency. Whether it is small and medium-sized feed plants or large automated breeding groups, customers choose RICHI because of the following six core advantages:
Avoid animal picky eating and reduce feed waste
RICHI feed granulator makes pellet feed by mixing various raw materials and pressing them into uniform pellets efficiently, which not only prevents picky eating, but also ensures balanced intake of components, thus improving the uniformity of feeding.
Increase feed conversion rate and promote rapid growth
The process of conditioning – maturation – pressing makes protein, starch and other nutrients more easily absorbed by animals, effectively improving feed utilization and daily weight gain rate. It is particularly suitable for large-scale breeding projects with short growth cycles and strict cost control.
Longer storage duration and easier transportation
The manufactured pellet feed has low moisture content, high density and is not easy to mold, which is convenient for long-term storage and long-distance transportation, reducing the economic loss caused by mold deterioration, and has been widely used in export and multi-point feeding and distribution projects.
Easier management and suitable for mechanical automation feeding
The produced pellets have uniform pellet size and good fluidity, which is easy to realize the matching operation of tower feeder, feeding line and automatic scraper conveyor system, improve feeding efficiency and save labor cost, which is especially suitable for intelligent breeding scenarios.
High-quality construction, stable and long-lasting operation
All the key components of the feed granulator machine are made of high-strength stainless steel. World-renowned brands such as SKF bearings and Siemens motors are selected to ensure stable operation and an extremely low failure rate. This significantly reduces the long-term operation and maintenance costs of the equipment.
Adjustable and controllable, suitable for different feed formulas
Whether it is high-energy feed for poultry or water-resistant pellets for aquatic animals, RICHI feed pellet machine can precisely adjust through parameter combinations such as mold hole size, roller structure and conditioning layers, achieving multi-material feeding with one machine and multiple uses with one machine.
