Chicken feed pellet machine Core components
To determine whether a chicken feed pellet machine is the right fit, carefully evaluate whether it effectively addresses the specific challenges you face in actual production.
Drawing on 30 years of manufacturing experience, RICHI has upgraded the structure and component configuration of its poultry feed pellet machines to tackle common issues such as equipment wear, uneven feeding, and reduced output. These enhancements ensure greater operational stability and facilitate easier daily maintenance.
Wear-resistant ring die
Wear-resistant ring die
The ring die is a component that comes into direct contact with the raw materials. It is made of alloy steel and uses a carburizing heat treatment process, which makes its service life 2-3 times that of ordinary carbon steel.
ステンレス用コンディショナー
ステンレス用コンディショナー
RICHI has launched market-leading conditioning equipment. Our conditioners are longer than standard models, allowing for more thorough mixing of the material with steam and achieving higher levels of cooking and gelatinization. This significantly improves the quality and output of chicken feed pellets.
Gear drive

The dual-alloy steel blades feature precision-ground edges, producing smooth, burr-free pellets and significantly increasing the yield of compliant pellets. In addition, by adjusting the distance between the cutter and the ring die, particles of different lengths can be obtained. This can be precisely controlled via the observation port.
安全インターロック装置
安全インターロック装置
The pellet machine for chicken feed is fitted with a safety pin to handle abnormal conditions. When pressure or resistance becomes excessive, the safety pin breaks and activates the limit switch to cut off power automatically. This protects critical components from damage and ensures safe production.
Applications of Chicken Feed Pellet Machines
Chicken feed pellets are typically composed of a variety of ingredients, such as corn, wheat, soybean meal, cassava, fish meal, vegetable oil, minerals, and vitamin premixes.
As the core equipment for producing these pellets, the chicken feed pellet machine overcomes raw material limitations and efficiently processes common feed ingredients.
Of course, the capabilities extend beyond the standard range. We have also processed specialized ingredients for many clients—such as the 10% sunflower seed meal included in broiler feed formulations for a client in Kazakhstan, or pea protein for a client in France.
Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all production plan to every project, we conduct a comprehensive assessment of each client’s specific needs before production begins, striving to ensure the final output meets your exact requirements.

High-protein feed
Many customers increase protein content when processing feed for chicks to accelerate poultry growth. High-temperature conditioning systems facilitate moderate protein denaturation and increase material viscosity, thereby boosting feed output while preserving nutritional value.
Soybean meal
Rapeseed meal
Sunflower seed meal
ピーナッツ粕
魚粉
Meat and bone meal
Energy feed
Cereal-based energy feeds are rich in starch and serve as a vital energy source for broiler and layer diets. During the pelleting process, operators can adjust the steam content via steam injection ports to achieve optimal starch gelatinization. Typically, in chicken feed production, the conditioner temperature should be maintained between 75°C and 85°C, with a moisture content of 16% to 18%.

Chicken feed pellet Machine Working principle
The video on the left clearly demonstrates how the broiler feed making machine operates. Overall, the process requires minimal staffing, as feeding, conditioning, pelletizing, and cutting are all performed automatically.
Processed material enters the pellet mill through the inlet. To ensure smooth feeding, a variable frequency drive (VFD) adjusts the feed rate based on the specific raw materials, preventing blockages or equipment idling.
Inside the conditioner, dual-shaft paddles continuously toss and agitate the material, ensuring thorough mixing and cooking with steam. The material then moves into the pelletizing chamber.
Pressure rollers force the material into the die holes, forming long strands. Finally, a cutter rapidly slices them into uniform, dense chicken feed pellets.
- Conditioning temperature: 70-85°
- Ring die compression ratio: 1:3.5 to 1:13

完成した鶏用飼料ペレットの品質はどのようなものですか？
You have absolutely no need to worry.
Our company’s chicken feed pellet machines are of excellent quality, boasting a pelletizing rate of over 95% and a fines rate of less than 5%.
Furthermore, the high-temperature conditioning process releases the aroma of the grains, making the feed more palatable to poultry and naturally accelerating weight gain.
These figures are based on data from over 2,000 real-world projects.
We can provide you with detailed test reports. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
Is it possible to produce a high-fiber poultry formula? Will it clog the machine?
Certainly. For high-fiber formulations, we match the process with a ring die featuring a corresponding compression ratio (1:7 to 1:9) and strictly control raw material moisture content at 12–15% to minimize the risk of machine clogging.
You are welcome to send us raw material samples; our factory can conduct free trial runs to verify the pelletizing results, actual production capacity, and equipment configuration.
How often does it take to replace the ring die and pressure roller shell?
For standard grain-based poultry feed, the service life of a ring die is approximately 1,500–2,000 operating hours, while that of a roller shell is about 800–1,200 hours. However, if your raw materials contain excessive amounts of limestone powder or minerals, the wear on these components will accelerate. During daily production, if you notice a drop in the pellet mill’s output or an increase in fines (powder), you should check whether the ring die and rollers need to be replaced.
How long is the warranty period for your chicken feed pellet machine?
We offer a 12-month warranty. RICHI will repair any product defects or damage not caused by improper use, free of charge. Even after the warranty expires, you will still receive lifetime after-sales service (view our YouTube)
