1. Overview
Tailored exclusively for small family farms and micro feed workshops, the 200-300kg/h small feed pellet line simplifies feed production into two core processes—crushing-mixing and pelletizing—linked by a screw conveyor. It solves the pain points of small-scale breeding: high commercial feed costs, complex equipment operation, and limited space.
This streamlined line processes easily accessible raw materials (corn, wheat bran, rice, soybeans, etc.) into high-quality pellets for pigs, chickens, rabbits, fish, and shrimp. With its compact structure, easy operation, and budget-friendly price, it is the ideal choice for small breeders aiming to produce homemade feed, control nutrition quality, and cut breeding expenses.
2. Core Advantages
2.1 “2-in-1” Design Saves Space & Costs
The line’s biggest highlight is the AMS400 Combined Crusher&Mixer, which merges two independent processes into one machine—saving 50% of installation space compared to separate crusher and mixer. It also reduces initial investment and power consumption, as no extra linkage parts are needed. The entire line only requires 15-25㎡, fitting perfectly in farm workshops or even home yards.
2.2 Easy Operation for Novices
- Simplified Processes: No complicated steps—only three key links (crushing-mixing → conveying → pelleting) make it easy for farmers to master without professional training.
- User-Friendly Equipment: The AMS400 adopts a self-suction design (raw materials are automatically sucked into the machine, no manual feeding); the AMSPLM-200B pellet mill has a visualized pelleting chamber (real-time observation of processing to troubleshoot quickly).
2.3 High Cost-Efficiency & Quick ROI
- Low Investment: The line uses cost-effective, standardized equipment with a total power of only 9.7KW (2.2KW for the combined machine + 7.5KW for the pellet mill), reducing electricity bills.
- Feed Cost Savings: Processes agricultural by-products (straw, bran) and grains into pellets, cutting reliance on commercial feed and lowering breeding costs by 20%-30%.
- Fast Payback: For a farm with 100 pigs or 3,000 chickens, the line typically recovers investment in 5-8 months through feed savings.
2.4 Versatile for Multi-Animal Feed
The AMSPLM-200B flat die pellet mill supports pellet production for various species: 1.5-6mm diameter pellets (adjustable via die replacement) for chicks/fry, 4-6mm for adult pigs/chickens, and water-stable pellets for fish/shrimp—one line for multiple breeding needs.
3. Core Equipment Composition
The line consists of 3 key devices and 1 auxiliary tool, ensuring seamless linkage and stable output:
| Equipment Name | Model | Core Function | Key Features & Parameters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Combined Crusher&Mixer | AMS400 | Integrates crushing large raw materials (0.8-6mm powder) and mixing with additives. | – Self-suction feeding, easy operation; – Compact structure, easy installation; – Specialized for pig feed mixing; – Capacity: 500kg/batch; Power: 2.2KW. |
| Screw Conveyor (Auxiliary) | – | Automatically conveys mixed powder from the combined machine to the pellet mill. | – Sealed design to prevent powder leakage; – Steady feeding to avoid pellet mill overload. |
| Electric Flat Die Pellet Mill | AMSPLM-200B | Extrudes mixed powder into dense, smooth feed pellets. | – Electric-driven (energy-saving, eco-friendly); – Wear-resistant materials (long service life); – Visualized pelleting chamber; – Capacity: 200-300kg/h (feedstuff), 100-150kg/h (sawdust); Power: 7.5KW; Die diameter: 200mm; Weight: 250kg. |
4. Full Production Process
The line follows a 4-step simple workflow with minimal manual intervention:
- Integrated Crushing & Mixing: Pour large raw materials (whole corn, straw) and additives (premix, soybean meal) into the AMS400. The machine first crushes raw materials into fine powder, then mixes all ingredients evenly—completing two processes in one step.
- Automated Conveying: The screw conveyor connects the AMS400 to the pellet mill, automatically transporting the mixed powder to the pelleting chamber without manual shoveling.
- High-Quality Pelleting: The AMSPLM-200B pellet mill extrudes the powder into pellets via pressure rollers and a 200mm flat die. The visualized chamber lets you check for blockages or uneven pelleting, and a built-in cutter trims pellets to 5-30mm length.
- Storage for Use: Finished pellets are collected manually or conveyed to a simple storage bin (optional) for on-demand feeding.
5. Applicable Scenarios
- Family Farms: Produces self-use feed for 50-100 pigs, 2,000-3,000 chickens, 50-100 rabbits, or 3,000-5,000 fish.
- Micro Feed Workshops: Supplies small-batch customized feed to local neighbors or small breeders (e.g., piglet feed, layer feed).
- Rural Cooperatives: Shared equipment for members to process feed collectively, lowering individual investment.
- Home Breeders: Makes small-quantity feed for backyard poultry or aquatic tanks, ensuring fresh, additive-free nutrition.
