2025.03.17

Feed pellet machines are essential equipment in the livestock and feed processing industries. They compress powdered feed into pellets, improving feed utilization, storage, and transportation. However, with a wide variety of feed pellet machines available on the market, how do you choose the right one? Henan Moon feed machinery will provides a detailed purchasing guide from multiple perspectives.

1. Production Scale

Small-scale farmers: For household or small-scale farming, a small feed pellet machine with a capacity of 100-500 kg/hour is suitable.

Medium-scale farms: Medium-sized farms can opt for medium-capacity pellet machines, typically with a capacity of 500-1000 kg/hour.

Large-scale feed mills: Large-scale production requires high-capacity pellet machines, usually with a capacity of over 1 ton/hour.

2. Feed Type

Different feeds have different requirements for pellet machines.

For example:

Livestock and poultry feed: Typically requires smaller pellet diameters (2-8 mm).

Aquatic feed: Requires even smaller pellet diameters (1-3 mm) and higher pellet hardness.

Ruminant feed: May require larger pellet diameters (8-12 mm).
