With 30 years of pellet plant engineering, we design for reliability and value. Pelletizing offers logistics advantages — our equipment ensures you realize them.
Featured Pellet Production Lines
Below are some common pellet making lines on the market. Each of RICHI’s line configuration follows specific engineering parameters — die specification, conditioning requirements, motor selection, and downstream processing — determined by properties of the feedstock and the intended end-use application.
Poultry & Livestock Feed pelleting line
Processes corn, soybean meal, wheat, and bran into compound feed pellets for broilers, layers, swine, and cattle. SZLH series pellet mills with stainless steel dies and steam conditioning systems. Pellet diameters range from 1.5mm to 12mm. Compression ratios: 1:3.5–1:13 depending on species and growth stage.
Aquatic Feed pelleting line
Produces floating, slow-sinking, and sinking pellets for fish and shrimp. Twin-screw extruders with fully intermeshing, zero-clearance screw elements handle high-oil, high-moisture formulations. In-line drying, oil coating, and cooling stages integrated. The finished granules have a water stability of over 12 hours.
Wood Fuel Pellet Production Line
Converts sawdust, wood chips, bark, and forestry residues into dense fuel pellets for industrial and residential heating. MZLH series mills with 8-pole motors (low RPM, high torque) and 42CrMo alloy dies. No conditioner required. Process includes drying, grinding, pelleting, cooling, and screening.
Straw & Forage Feed pelleting line
Processes crop residues — corn stover, wheat straw, rice husks, and alfalfa — into ruminant feed pellets. CZLH series mills with conditioner and forced-feed systems to handle high fibrous materials. Larger hoppers and slower feed are provided. The final output varies with fiber content and moisture levels.
Organic Fertilizer pelleting line
Processes fermented animal manure (cattle, poultry, swine), compost, and sludge. Low-compression dies (1:4–1:8) with forced-feed systems handle wet, sticky, high-moisture inputs (30–40% post-fermentation). Integrated drying section reduces moisture to 12–15% for storage stability.
Cat Litter pelleting line
Produces litter pellets from bentonite clay, tofu residue, wood shavings, and recycled paper. SZLH series with conditioner for wet-mix formulations (bentonite, tofu); MZLH series without conditioner for dry inputs (wood, paper). Drying and screening sections integrated. Pellet diameters: 2–12mm.
Granulation steps
Four core phases build a complete pellet production line: raw material prep, pelleting, post-treatment and auxiliary systems. Each phase shapes pellet quality and long-term equipment reliability.

Raw material processing
Start with receiving and cleaning. A drum screener removes stones and debris, while a permanent magnet catches tramp iron—protecting your downstream machines from damage. Then it’s off to the hammer mill. Getting the grind right (3–5mm for wood, finer for feed) directly affects pellet hardness and die life.
Pelleting & Extruding
Two forming routes: ring-die pelleting and extrusion. The pellet mill—using rollers and a die—compresses conditioned mash into dense, sinking pellets. The expander, applying high shear and heat, cooks the mix and expands it on discharge—for floating fish feed and pet foods.
Finished Pellet Processing
Fresh pellets discharged at high temperature must be cooled in a counterflow cooler to near-ambient conditions, preventing cracking and moisture migration. A crumbler is optional for poultry or shrimp feeds, followed by a vibrating screen to separate fines from finished pellets, thus lowering dust content.
Auxiliary Equipment
Conveyors, dust collectors, boilers, and control panels ensure continuous operation. Bucket elevators and screw conveyors move material vertically and horizontally. Pulse-jet filters remove dust, while the boiler supplies steam. A centralized PLC panel monitors and adjusts all critical process parameters.
pellet line Cases
Over 2,000 pellet production lines across 140+ countries — feed mills, biomass plants, fertilizer lines, and litter factories. Here’s where we’ve built.
Italy 2–2.5t/h Full Auto Waste Paper Pellet Production Line
Signed July 22, 2023 at $115,290, this 20-day installed ring die unit fits a family factory in southern Italy. After years of trial planning, the client switched raw materials to waste paper for lower daily production costs.
Brazil 3–4t/h Semi-Auto Wood Biomass Fuel Pellet Plant
Signed Jan 5, 2022 at $152,000, this compact line runs 6–10mm pellets. Built for a local timber mill—they turn pine & eucalyptus wood scraps into steady biofuel right on their production site.
Bangladesh 8t/h Semi-Auto Floating Aquafeed Extrusion Factory
Finished 2022, the $640k line makes 1.2–3mm floating fish feed. Countless ponds across the country rely on this plant’s formula, tailored to the nation’s thriving inland aquaculture industry.
New Zealand 8–10t/h Full Auto Multi-Species Animal Feed Factory
A $1.2M facility finished Aug 3, 2023 after 130 days’ installation. It churns out pellets and mash for ruminants, poultry and rabbits, supplying dozens of local livestock farms on three daily shifts.
USA 10–15t/h Semi-Auto Chicken Manure Organic Fertilizer Plant
Valued at $570,000, finished 2022, it churns out 30,000 tons eco-friendly fertilizer yearly. A classic waste recycling project, fully processing farm chicken manure into high-value soil amendments.
Uganda 15t/h Semi-Auto Crop Straw Biomass Pellet Mill Plant
Our latest biomass project in Uganda, 8–10mm straw fuel pellets under 15% moisture. Running double shifts, it turns farm waste into clean energy, cutting rural open burning across the region.

Professional pellets line Design
Every plant starts with a conversation — not a catalog. We don’t push standard designs because we know your raw material, site, and targets are unique. Our engineering team works through each variable before we spec a single piece of equipment.
The difference between a pellet making line that runs and one that doesn’t? Planning. We plan first, then build. Here’s what we need to get it right.
