A chicken pellet mill with uniform pellet quality in Switzerland became the strategic investment for a large-scale, precision-focused feed manufacturing facility in the Bern region.

A chicken pellet mill with uniform pellet quality in Switzerland became the strategic investment for a large-scale, precision-focused feed manufacturing facility in the Bern region.
Switzerland has one of the most demanding feed quality standards in the world, with customers requiring consistent pellet durability, size, and nutrient distribution.
The feed plant we worked with produces approximately 100,000 tons of poultry feed annually for organic and conventional broiler and layer farms. The plant manager had been receiving complaints about variable pellet quality—some batches had too many fines, others had oversized pellets that birds refused to eat.

3.5-4.5mm
Before contacting us, the plant had evaluated feed pellet machines from German and Italian manufacturers. The equipment was excellent but lacked the precision control needed for uniform pellet quality.
A feed industry consultant who had visited RICHI's factory in Jiaozuo recommended our SZLH series with advanced die temperature monitoring and automatic roll adjustment. The plant already had a complete upstream system. What they needed was a chicken pellet mill that could produce consistently uniform pellets.
After a detailed review of their requirements, we recommended the SZLH350 ring die feed pellet mill with a 55kW main motor, equipped with die temperature monitoring and automatic roll gap adjustment.
Uniform pellet quality depends on:
The SZLH350 chicken feed making machine monitors die temperature with infrared sensors and adjusts roll gap automatically.
The plant selected the SZLH350 chicken pellet mill with precision controls. They purchased multiple ring dies:
We spoke with the plant manager about 16 months after delivery:
"This chicken pellet mill with uniform pellet quality has eliminated our customer complaints. The pellet durability index varies by less than 1% from batch to batch. The automatic roll gap adjustment ensures consistent compression as the die wears.
The mill runs about 10 hours per day, 5 days per week. We have put about 3,000 hours on it. Pellet quality has been consistent throughout.
The only issue was calibrating the die temperature sensors. The RICHI engineer spent two days on calibration, and now the system works perfectly.
The plant uses the SZLH350 for organic pig and cattle feed.
The SZLH350 chicken pellet mill was shipped from Qingdao to the Port of Basel (via Rhine River)—about 45 days total transit time.
