This project concerns a hay pellet mill with a production capacity of 1–3 tons per hour in Brazil. The client, operating as a commercial feed mill, focuses primarily on producing feed for dairy cattle, beef cattle, and sheep across local farms in Paraná and Rio Grande do Sul.
This project concerns a hay pellet mill for 1–3 tons per hour production in Brazil. In the southern region of Brazil, a mid-sized feed mill recently invested in a RICHI hay pellet mill to enhance their production of high-quality ruminant feed. The client, operating as a commercial feed mill, focuses primarily on producing feed for dairy cattle, beef cattle, and sheep across local farms in Paraná and Rio Grande do Sul.
The purchase was for a single-unit pelletizer, not a full production line, specifically a CZLH420 hay pellet machine. This investment addresses a combination of operational challenges:
By choosing a single-unit CZLH420 hay pellet mill, the client could expand production capacity while testing new pellet formulas for both dairy and beef cattle feed, without committing to a complete line upgrade.

Brazil’s livestock feed industry has been growing steadily, driven by a strong demand for high-protein feed pellets to support intensive cattle farming.
While traditional loose hay and grain mixes have dominated, pelletized hay feed is gaining popularity for its storage convenience, consistent nutrient content, and improved livestock intake. RICHI Machinery has delivered similar hay pellet machines and complete feed production lines across Latin America, Africa, and Europe, giving this client confidence in product quality and after-sales support.
Brazil’s southern and central regions are rich in forage crops ideal for ruminants. The client primarily uses grass-based raw materials with occasional inclusion of grains to adjust energy levels and optimize livestock nutrition.
The high-fiber content and controlled pellet size ensure that the livestock consumes feed efficiently, improving weight gain, milk yield, and nutrient uptake, while reducing wastage and maintaining uniform feed intake across all livestock types.
For a target production of 1.8–2.0 tons per hour, the CZLH420 hay pellet mill was selected. This model combines sufficient capacity with the flexibility to process a wide range of hay and grass types, supporting mid-scale feed operations effectively.
| Model | Main Motor Power | Arc-Breaking Feeder Power | Forced Feeder Power | Ring Die Diameter | Pellet Diameter Range | Production Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CZLH420 | 90 kW | 3 kW | 1.5 kW | 420 mm | 4–12 mm | 1.8–2.0 tons/hour |
The CZLH420 hay pellet mill for 1–3 tons per hour production in Brazil is particularly suitable for mid-scale feed mills looking to upgrade efficiency and pellet quality. Its ring die design ensures dense, uniform pellets, minimal downtime, and reliable performance, even when processing high-fiber or mixed hay types.
The CZLH420 hay pellet mill for 1–3 tons per hour production in Brazil serves as a multi-purpose feed production machine, supporting both dairy and beef cattle feed, as well as sheep feed, ensuring high-quality output for all livestock categories.
This single-unit pelletizer also allows for experimenting with different grass varieties, bale types (round or square), and mixed formulations to optimize feed costs, nutrient content, and seasonal feed availability.
The hay pellet production process at this Brazilian feed mill follows a professional workflow optimized for high efficiency and consistent pellet quality:
This workflow minimizes pellet breakage, maintains nutrient integrity, and ensures the feed is consistent in both size and density, optimizing livestock intake and operational efficiency.
Brazil is one of the largest producers of forage crops and livestock feed in South America. While loose hay and grain mixtures remain common, the trend toward pelletized feed is accelerating, particularly in commercial feed mills servicing dairy and beef farms.
Dairy farms require high-protein, consistent feed to optimize milk yield.
Beef operations benefit from energy-dense, uniform pellets to improve growth rates.
Sheep and goat farms require smaller, high-fiber pellets to maintain health and palatability.
RICHI Machinery has successfully supplied hay pellet machines and complete feed production lines in Latin America, Africa, and Europe, providing clients with reliable equipment, global technical support, and after-sales services.
The CZLH420 hay grass pellet machine was shipped from Qingdao Port, China and arrived at Santos Port, Brazil, the primary maritime hub for industrial machinery imports.
RICHI Machinery provided comprehensive services including:
These services ensured seamless integration into the feed mill, allowing immediate operation and consistent pellet production with minimal disruption.
This allows the feed mill to adapt to market demand, experiment with new feed blends, and maintain consistent high-quality pellets, improving both profitability and farm satisfaction.
The CZLH420 hay pellet mill for 1–3 tons per hour demonstrates how RICHI Machinery delivers flexible, professional, and reliable solutions for feed mills in Brazil and globally.
Clients can trust RICHI Machinery for durable, efficient, and customizable pellet machines, backed by extensive global project experience, ensuring long-term operational success and consistent feed quality.
