1. Overview
Tailored for household breeders and small-scale feed pellet plants, the 800-1000kg/h feed pellet production line integrates crushing, mixing, and pelleting into a streamlined system. It solves the core pain points of small-scale feed production—complex processes, high labor costs, and reliance on commercial feed—by offering easy operation, low investment, and flexible output.
This line can produce both livestock feed (for pigs, chickens, sheep, etc.) and aquatic feed (for fish, shrimp), using easily accessible raw materials such as corn, brown rice, paddy, sorghum, straw, and soybean meal. It is the ideal choice for small breeders aiming to cut feed costs and control feed quality.
2. Core Advantages
2.1 Compact & User-Friendly for Small Spaces
The entire line adopts a space-saving design, requiring only 30-50㎡ of installation area—perfect for home workshops or small factory premises. Equipped with a centralized electric cabinet, it realizes one-key control of the whole process, minimizing manual intervention; even staff without professional training can master operation in 1-2 days.
2.2 Cost-Saving & High ROI
- Raw Material Flexibility: Processes both grain raw materials (corn, rice) and agricultural by-products (straw, bran), reducing reliance on expensive commercial feed and cutting breeding costs by 20%-30%.
- Low Running Costs: All equipment adopts energy-efficient motors (total power ≤35KW), with low electricity consumption; wear parts (hammer blades, ring dies) are standardized and affordable to replace.
- Quick Payback: For a family farm with 500 pigs or 10,000 chickens, the line typically recovers investment in 8-12 months through feed cost savings.
2.3 High-Quality Feed Pellets
The line produces pellets with uniform size, smooth surface, and high density (thanks to the AMS250 ring die pellet mill). Key benefits include:
- Nutrient Preservation: Moderate temperature rise during pelleting retains heat-sensitive micronutrients (vitamins, probiotics), improving animal digestion and growth.
- Strong Adaptability: Pellet diameter adjustable from 1.5mm (for chicks/fry) to 6mm (for adult livestock/fish), meeting needs of different species and growth stages.
- Aquaculture-Friendly: Fish feed pellets maintain stability in water for a long time, reducing nutrient leaching and water pollution.
2.4 Versatile & All-Round Application
Handles both low-moisture powder feed (e.g., mixed grain powder) and high-moisture fresh feed (e.g., fermented forage), supporting multi-type feed production without additional equipment.
3. Core Composition of the Production Line
The line consists of 6 key devices, working in synergy to achieve automated feed making:
| Equipment Name | Model | Core Function | Key Features & Advantages |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hammer Mill | AMS420 | Crushes large raw materials (corn, straw) into 0.8-6mm fine powder. | – 16 high-wear hammer blades for efficient crushing; – Adjustable sieve diameter for different powder fineness; – Handles 1000kg/h grain or 600-700kg/h straw. |
| Cyclone Dust Collector | – | Collects crushed powder and conveys it to the mixer, reducing dust pollution. | – Seamless connection with hammer mill and mixer; – Low noise, eco-friendly. |
| Mixer | AMS1000 | Mixes crushed powder with additives (vitamins, minerals) evenly. | – Self-suction design for easy material feeding; – Compact structure, easy installation; – Specialized for pig feed mixing (uniform nutrition). |
| Ring Die Feed Pellet Mill | AMS250 | Extrudes mixed powder into dense, smooth pellets. | – Moderate pelleting temperature (preserves nutrients); – Pellet size adjustable (1.5-6mm diameter, 5-30mm length); – High density for easy storage/transport. |
| Storage Bin | – | Stores finished pellets for on-demand use. | – Sealed design to prevent moisture and mildew; – Capacity matched to line output. |
| Electric Cabinet | – | Centralized control of all equipment (start/stop, speed regulation). | – Intuitive panel, fault alarm function; – Ensures stable, safe operation. |
4. Full Production Process
The line follows a 4-step automated workflow, with no manual transfer of materials between processes:
- Raw Material Crushing: Large raw materials (e.g., whole corn, straw bales) are fed into the AMS420 hammer mill. Under the high-speed rotation of hammer blades (3500r/min), they are crushed into fine powder (0.8-6mm), which is then collected by the cyclone dust collector to avoid dust leakage.
- Uniform Mixing: The crushed powder is automatically sucked into the AMS1000 mixer. Additives (e.g., pig premix, fish oil) are added manually or via a small feeder, and the mixer blends all materials evenly at 1000kg/h—ensuring each pellet has consistent nutrition.
- High-Density Pelleting: The mixed powder is fed into the AMS250 ring die pellet mill. Under the extrusion of pressure rollers and the ring die (250mm inner diameter), it is formed into pellets. A built-in cutter trims pellets to the set length (5-30mm), and the finished pellets have a smooth surface and high hardness.
- Storage for Use: Finished pellets are conveyed to the storage bin for sealed storage, ready for feeding livestock or aquatic creatures at any time.

6. Applicable Scenarios
- Family Farms: Produces self-use feed for 300-500 pigs, 5000-10,000 chickens, or 10,000-20,000 fish, reducing reliance on external feed suppliers.
- Small Feed Plants: Supplies customized feed to local small breeders, supporting small-batch, multi-variety production (e.g., piglet feed, layer feed, fish feed).
- Aquaculture Bases: Makes high-stability aquatic feed for pond-raised fish or cage-raised shrimp, improving feed utilization and water quality.
- Rural Cooperatives: Shared equipment for members to process feed collectively, lowering individual investment costs.
