1.8-2T/H Hay Pellet Mill in Poland

By investing in a single high-quality pelletizer, the client can expand capacity gradually, maintain control over feed quality, and reduce downtime associated with older machines, ensuring consistent feed supply year-round.

1.8-2T/H Hay Pellet Mill in Poland

OVERVIEW

This is a project about a hay pellet mill in Poland. In the expanding livestock industry of Poland, a mid-sized feed mill recently invested in a RICHI hay pellet mill capable of producing 1–2 tons per hour. This purchase represents a single-unit acquisition aimed at improving the quality and efficiency of cattle feed pellet production.

The client operates a feed mill supplying both dairy and beef farms across Poland. While the facility already has several lines for standard feed production, the new CZLH420 hay pellet machine was introduced to:

  • Replace aging small-capacity pelletizers that struggled with dense hay bales.
  • Provide the flexibility to test new feed formulations with different grass and hay blends.
  • Serve as a stand-alone solution to increase seasonal production without the immediate need for a full production line upgrade.

By investing in a single high-quality grass pellet machine, the client can expand capacity gradually, maintain control over feed quality, and reduce downtime associated with older machines, ensuring consistent feed supply year-round.

Pellet Formulations

This composition ensures consistent nutrient intake for different livestock types and produces durable pellets suitable for storage and transport, while maintaining palatability and digestibility for optimal animal performance.

Machine Selection: CZLH420 Hay Pellet Mill

For the client’s target production of 1.8–2.0 tons per hour, the CZLH420 hay pellet mill was selected due to its ability to process dense grass bales and mixed hay into high-quality pellets with minimal downtime.

CZLH420 90 kW 3 kW 1.5 kW 420 mm 4–12 mm 1.8–2.0 tons/hour

The CZLH420 hay pellet mill in Poland is ideal for mid-sized feed mills needing reliable output with flexibility to experiment with pellet formulations. Its ring die design ensures uniform pellet density and diameter, making it suitable for various livestock feed requirements, including dairy, beef, and small ruminants. Its robust construction guarantees long-term durability and minimal maintenance.

Equipment Functionality and Applications

The CZLH420 hay pellet mill in Poland allows the client to produce high-quality feed pellets for multiple livestock types, providing versatility and operational efficiency.

Dairy Cattle Feed

Beef Cattle Feed

Sheep Feed

This hay pellet mill in Poland also allows experimentation with alternative grass varieties or bale types, including round or square alfalfa bales and mixed grass blends, supporting innovation in feed formulation and seasonal adjustments.

Feed Production Process

The hay pellet production process in this Polish feed mill follows a professional workflow:

  1. Bale Preparation: Square or round bales are shredded into manageable sizes for pelletizing.
  2. Moisture Control: Hay moisture adjusted to 12–15% for optimal pellet formation.
  3. Pelletizing: CZLH420 converts shredded hay into uniform, high-density pellets.
  4. Cooling: Hot pellets pass through an air cooler to solidify structure and reduce moisture.
  5. Packaging & Storage: Finished pellets stored in silos or packaged for farm distribution.

This workflow ensures high efficiency, minimal pellet breakage, and consistent feed quality, allowing the mill to meet local and regional livestock feed demands while maintaining operational flexibility.

Market Context in Poland

Poland’s livestock sector has been growing steadily, with increasing demand for high-quality cattle feed. Traditionally, farmers relied on loose hay or grass mixed with grains, which presented challenges in storage, transport, and nutrient consistency.

The introduction of pelletized hay feed improves:

RICHI Machinery has successfully delivered multiple pellet machines and complete production lines across Europe and other regions. Polish feed mills, in particular, are increasingly adopting small-to-mid capacity hay pellet mills, similar to CZLH420, to enhance feed quality and operational flexibility.

Shipping and Installation

The CZLH420 hay pellet machine was shipped via Qingdao Port, China, and arrived at Gdańsk Port, Poland, the primary maritime gateway for industrial equipment imports. RICHI Machinery provided end-to-end services, including:

These services allowed the client to seamlessly integrate the CZLH420 into their operations, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity while ensuring staff competence and operational safety.

Advantages for the Client

Investing in the CZLH420 hay pellet mill offers the following benefits:

This equipment also allows the client to adapt quickly to market changes, produce specialized feed formulations, and enhance overall farm satisfaction and efficiency.

Conclusion

The CZLH420 hay pellet mill project for 1–3 tons per hour highlights how RICHI Machinery provides customized, professional solutions for feed producers in Poland. By selecting this machine, the client achieved:

With RICHI’s technical expertise and global track record, clients in Poland and worldwide can trust that their pellet production investments deliver long-term value and efficiency. This project exemplifies how a single mid-capacity hay pellet mill can significantly improve feed quality, operational flexibility, and farm productivity.
