This is a project about alfalfa hay pellet making machine in Germany. The primary product processed is high-quality alfalfa hay pellets designed for dairy cattle and equine nutrition, emphasizing digestibility and nutrient retention.
This is a project about alfalfa hay pellet making machine in Germany. In the heart of Germany's agricultural sector, a mid-sized farming cooperative specializing in forage and animal nutrition sought to modernize its pellet production capabilities. The cooperative traditionally supplied alfalfa hay in loose, baled form but faced increasing demand for more convenient and longer-lasting feed solutions from local dairy and horse farms.
After careful consideration, the customer decided to invest in a single alfalfa hay pellet making machine to enhance their feed processing operation. This purchase was aimed at complementing their existing equipment—such as grinders and dryers—rather than investing in a full alfalfa pellet production line at once. The move allowed them to improve production capacity and pellet quality without disrupting current workflows.
The primary product processed is high-quality alfalfa hay pellets designed for dairy cattle and equine nutrition, emphasizing digestibility and nutrient retention.

Germany
Date:
2025
Capacity:
4-5T/H
Model:
CZLH678
The install period:
1 Day
Power:
185 kW

6 mm
Germany's temperate climate supports the abundant growth of premium alfalfa, which the cooperative harvests from nearby fields. The raw material is dried to a moisture content of about 12%, optimal for pelletizing.
Considering their target output of 4-5 tons per hour, the customer selected the CZLH678 model from RICHI Machinery:
This alfalfa hay pellet making machine in Germany perfectly balances throughput, power efficiency, and pellet quality for mid-to-large-scale alfalfa pellet production.
The adoption of the alfalfa hay pellet machine brought substantial benefits to the cooperative's feed production, including:
The hay alfalfa pellet making machine's integrated forced feeder and anti-arch feeder guarantee steady feedstock flow and prevent clogging, critical for handling fibrous alfalfa materials.
In line with German forage practices, the customer processes mostly pure alfalfa hay pellets, which constitute about 90% of their production. The remaining 10% includes blended pellets with small proportions of clover or ryegrass to diversify feed options for specific animal needs.
The pellets are mainly 6 mm in diameter, an optimal size for easy consumption and digestion in dairy cows and horses.
Besides alfalfa pellets, this alfalfa hay pellet making machine in Germany can also process:
This versatility enhances the cooperative's operational flexibility and revenue streams.
RICHI Machinery was chosen because of:
This case highlights how integrating a high-capacity alfalfa hay pellet making machine in Germany can elevate feed production efficiency and quality. German and European feed producers considering densification should focus on:
