1.8–2.0 T/H Alfalfa Pellet Machine For Sale Brazil

Customer Profile and Purpose of Equipment

The client is a professional feed mill serving dairy and beef farms across Minas Gerais and neighboring states. Their main objectives include:

• Producing dairy cattle feed pellets to increase milk yield and support herd health.
• Producing beef cattle feed pellets optimized for rapid weight gain and feed efficiency.
• Processing custom feed formulations for smaller farms and seasonal demands.

The primary purpose of the standalone Alfalfa Pellet Making Machine is:

• Pilot testing new forage-grain blends: Allows the client to experiment with ratios of alfalfa, grass, straw, and grains without impacting their main production line.
• Improving pellet quality: Produces dense, uniform, and durable pellets that maintain shape during storage and transport.
• Operational flexibility: Enables production of both 100% forage pellets and mixed forage-grain pellets, depending on seasonal availability.
• Incremental investment: Reduces financial risk and allows for gradual expansion into a full-scale production line in the future.

Brazilian forage pellet production is increasingly profitable and sustainable, with ample alfalfa cultivation in central Brazil, abundant grasslands, and cereal straw byproducts from soy and corn farms. This provides an excellent foundation for standalone alfalfa pellet machines like the one supplied by RICHI Machinery.

Raw Material Selection and Preparation

The feed mill uses locally sourced forages and crop residues, tailored to Brazilian livestock nutrition standards. The raw materials include:

• Alfalfa hay (Medicago sativa): 55–65% of the formulation, high in protein and digestible fiber.
• Brachiaria and Bermuda grass: 15–20%, providing balanced fiber and texture.
• Corn and soybean straw: 10–15%, enhancing structural fiber and bulk.
• Optional grains (corn, sorghum): 10% for energy-dense beef feed pellets.

Raw material preparation ensures optimal pellet quality:

• Alfalfa hay bales are shredded into 4–6 mm particles.
• Grass and straw are dried to 12–14% moisture and chopped to 5 mm pieces.
• Grains are ground to a uniform size for consistent mixing.

Formulations vary depending on livestock type:

• Dairy feed: 60% alfalfa, 20% grass, 10% straw, 10% grains.
• Beef feed: 55% alfalfa, 15% grass, 15% straw, 15% grains.
• Sheep feed (seasonal): 65% alfalfa, 15% grass, 20% straw.

This approach ensures nutrient balance, digestibility, and consistent pellet quality, essential for the Brazilian livestock market and for maintaining optimal animal health and performance.

Equipment Selection and Technical Specifications

The client selected the CZLH420 Alfalfa Grass Pellet Machine, ideal for medium-scale Brazilian feed mills:

The CZLH420 model alfalfa pellet machine for sale Brazil is specifically designed for processing fibrous forages like alfalfa and grass, ensuring high throughput while producing dense, uniform pellets.
