Model 150 Animal Feed Pellet Machine

The Model 150 Feed Pellet Machine is a medium-sized pelletizing equipment engineered for efficiency, broad adaptability, and durability. Designed for small to medium-sized farms, family operations, feed processing facilities, and agricultural cooperatives, it features upgraded power and capacity over the Model 125. It provides a one-stop pelletizing solution for various grass meals and concentrates, addressing core pain points such as low processing efficiency, high costs, and uneven nutrition. This equipment is optimized for independent B2B website indexing to enhance product exposure and conversion rates.

Core Product Highlights

As a flagship medium-sized feed processing equipment, the Model 150 is designed for scaled farming and small commercial needs. Core components are optimized for efficiency and convenience:

• Dry Processing Technology: Operates without additional water or drying. Processes over 30 common raw materials including corn, soybean meal, straw, bran, and grass. Adapts to crude fibers (sawdust, cotton stalks) and low-temperature pelleting for bio-fertilizers, minimizing preprocessing time.
• Dual Power Options: Supports 220V single-phase and 380V three-phase power, with optional diesel engines for off-grid operations. Features a custom pure copper dual-capacitor motor for stable voltage and enhanced durability compared to standard motors.
• Adjustable Pellet Sizes: Includes multiple die sizes (2.5mm to 10mm, 4mm default). 3-4mm dies are suitable for poultry (chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits), while 5-10mm dies accommodate large livestock (pigs, cattle, sheep). Achieves a forming rate of ≥92% for uniform, compact pellets.
• Upgraded Gear Transmission: Eliminates traditional belt slippage, rapid wear, and low efficiency. Core components (rollers, flat dies) are precision-machined from alloy steel for extended service life. Operates with low noise (≤75dB) and reduced energy consumption.
• Natural High-Temperature Maturation: Extrusion generates 70-80°C natural heat, eliminating common pathogenic microbes and parasites. Facilitates starch gelatinization and protein denaturation, boosting digestion and absorption rates by 15-20%. Maintains low moisture content (≤12%) and minimizes feed waste (≤5%).
• User-Friendly Operation: Compact footprint with bottom casters for flexible mobility. Features one-button start and integrated feeding, pelleting, and discharging. Equipped with an emergency stop button. Daily maintenance and die replacement can be completed by a single operator in 10 minutes.

Detailed Technical Specifications

Clear parameters define equipment performance. The Model 150 specifications are as follows:

Applications and Scope

With its high capacity and broad adaptability, the Model 150 is widely used across various farming and processing scenarios:

• Livestock & Poultry Farming: Suitable for processing feed for chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle, sheep, rabbits, and pigeons. Enables customized pellet specifications based on growth stages to shorten fattening periods and improve farming efficiency.
• Small Commercial Processing: Ideal for small feed plants, cooperatives, and family farms. Enables low-cost startup for commercial feed production and utilizes local agricultural waste to maximize profit margins.
• Alternative Uses: Capable of low-temperature pelleting for bio-fertilizers, organic fertilizers, and wood pellets. Maximizes equipment utilization and agricultural waste recycling.

Working Principle

The equipment utilizes a vertical flat die extrusion principle for efficient, single-pass dry processing:

1. Feeding Stage: Pre-treated materials (moisture ≤14%, no extra water needed) are distributed evenly onto the flat die. (Tip: For first-time use, run oil-mixed feed to adjust the 0.8-1.5mm gap between rollers and dies to prevent blockage).
2. Extrusion & Pelleting Stage: The motor drives the gears, rotating the flat die and rollers. Materials are extruded through the die holes. Natural heating to 70-80°C ensures maturation and sterilization.
3. Cutting & Discharging Stage: Built-in cutters trim the continuous extruded material into uniform lengths. Pellets are discharged directly (cooling required before storage).
4. Safety Mechanisms: Equipped with safety guards and an emergency stop button. The gear drive minimizes vibration and noise, ensuring stable long-term continuous operation.

Product Advantages and Value

Compared to traditional feed processing, the core values of the Model 150 include:

• Lower Feed Costs: Transforms agricultural waste (straw, bran) into premium feed. Reduces feed costs by 30%-50% compared to purchasing commercial feed.
• Ensured Feed Freshness: On-demand processing prevents mildew and nutritional loss. Dry processing aligns pellet moisture with raw materials for extended shelf life.
• Labor Efficiency: Integrated single-operator workflow. Compact design requires no complex installation; ready to use out of the box.
• Enhanced Farming Efficiency: Improved palatability and digestion. Saves 10-15% of feed compared to powder forms while reducing animal disease risks.
• Cost-Effective & Durable: Core components forged from alloy steel. Offers a 3-5 year lifespan under normal usage without major overhauls, ensuring rapid ROI.

Daily Maintenance and Precautions

Proper operation extends equipment lifespan and ensures stable performance:

• Pre-use Inspection: Verify power and transmission components. Apply lubrication. Check the roller-to-die clearance to prevent jamming.
• Feeding Control: Prevent stones or metal from entering the machine. Maintain material moisture at approximately 14%. Crushing granular materials like corn is recommended for uniformity.
• Operation Anomalies: Immediately power off if abnormal noise or jamming occurs. Strictly prohibit operating the machine with safety guards open.
• Post-use Cleaning: Clear internal residues to prevent mildew. Before shutting down, run oil-mixed feed through the dies to maintain the holes and prevent future blockages.
• Component Replacement: Regularly inspect and replace worn rollers and dies. Lubricate transmission parts periodically.
• Power Wiring: Use 6mm² copper cables for 1-10m distances, and 10mm² for 10-20m. For diesel models, regularly check fuel and oil levels.
• Startup Procedure: Begin feeding slowly. Allow the machine to reach operational temperature before running at full capacity.
