1000kg/h Animal Feed Pellet Production Line for Cattle Sheep, Grass & Grain Feed

For small and medium cattle and sheep farms, agricultural cooperatives and small feed processing plants, building your own feed pellet plant can greatly cut feed purchasing costs. This 1000kg/h grade complete animal feed pellet production line offers two differentiated configurations. It supports the full production workflow including raw material crushing, mixing, pelletizing, cooling, screening and automatic weighing and packaging.

The line adapts to different feed formulas. It can process various materials such as corn, bran and straw, and is also available with optimized configurations for high-proportion dry Super Napier grass recipes. It produces uniform cattle and sheep feed pellets that are easy to store and transport, helping you reduce labor costs for manual batching and feeding.

Animal feed pellet production line application scenarios

• Self-use feed processing for ruminants (cattle & sheep): Produces 4–8 mm feed pellets for beef cattle and sheep at different growth stages. The grass-focused solution supports a proven formula of 70% dry Super Napier grass mixed with corn, sorghum and other grains.
• Mixed feed production with diverse raw materials: The versatile line works with grains, straw, grass, rice bran and wheat bran. Formulas can be adjusted freely for users with frequently changed feed ratios.
• Deep processing for pasture grass pellets: Ranches with large grass or Super Napier plantations can turn hay into commercial grass pellets on-site for sale and increase pasture value.
• Contract production for cooperatives & small feed mills: Enables steady continuous production with automatic.

Detailed configuration & target users for two solutions

Solution A: Multi-material all-round animal feed pellet production line

• Parameters: Capacity 800–1500 kg/h; pellet size 2.5–8 mm; pellet density 0.6–1.2 t/m³; total power 89.16 kW; footprint approx. 22×5×5 m.
• Equipment list: Hammer mill, bag dust collector, self-priming crusher, screw conveyor, air shut-off device, mixer, storage bin, variable-speed feeder, four-roll feed pellet machine, cooling machine, conveyor, 25–50 kg automatic packing machine, electric control cabinet.
• Ideal users: Farms and cooperatives with diverse raw materials including corn, straw, grass, rice bran and wheat bran; users needing flexible formulas for both grain and straw-grass feed.

Solution B: Super Napier grass-based cattle & sheep feed pellet line

• Parameters: Capacity 800–1000 kg/h; pellet size 4–8 mm; total power 85.85 kW; footprint approx. 25×6×4.5 m; standard formula: 70% dry Super Napier grass + 30% grains such as corn and sorghum.
• Equipment list: Screw conveyor, special hammer mill (with cyclone separation & dust removal), self-priming grain crusher, 500-type mixer, frequency conversion feeder, three-roll grass-special pellet mill, counter-current cooling & screening machine, DCS50 automatic packing machine (10–50 kg per bag).
• Ideal users: Large-scale ranches with self-owned Super Napier grassland, fixed feed formulas and high grass proportion; priority on stable crushing and pellet forming for forage feed.

Complete workflow of animal feed pellet production line

Process flow: Raw material preparation → Grinding (grains/grass as needed) → Batching & mixing → Screw conveying → Bin buffering → Variable-speed feeding → Pellet extrusion → Cooling, dehumidification & screening → Conveying → Automatic weighing and packaging

Fine materials like bran and rice bran go straight into the mixer; hard stock such as corn, straw and Super Napier grass require pre-grinding for continuous automatic operation.

Hot, moist fresh pellets cannot be stacked directly to avoid mildew and loose pellets. Solution A uses a standalone air cooler, while Solution B adopts an integrated counter-current cooling and screening unit to remove fines. Cooled pellets are then packed automatically for easy storage, transport and sale.

Supporting breeding equipment expansion

The animal feed pellet production line covers feed processing. To build a fully automated cattle and sheep farm, you can match extra equipment to form a complete production chain:

• TMR feed mixer: Thoroughly mixes silage, hay, concentrate and finished feed pellets.
• Silage harvester & أغلفة مكبس السيلاج: Completes silage harvesting, baling and sealed storage in the front stage.
• Cattle & sheep feeder, integrated TMR mixing-feeding wagon: Realizes automatic feeding, achieving full mechanization from raw material harvesting and feed processing to feeding.

How to choose the right animal feed pellet production line?

• Raw material formula: Choose Solution A for varied, frequently changed formulas; choose Solution B for fixed formulas mainly with dry Super Napier grass.
• Pellet size: Only Solution A supports 2.5–4 mm pellets for young livestock. Both suit 4–8 mm pellets for cattle and sheep.
• Workshop space: Solution A takes less area. Reserve extra space for storage, maintenance and passages for Solution B.
• Packaging: Solution B supports 10–50 kg bags; Solution A is for 25–50 kg large bags.
• Actual capacity: Rated output is for ideal conditions. Material moisture, fiber content and operation affect real yield.
