This is a project about a machine for pellet straw and lucerne in Egypt. The goal was to pilot a high-quality pellet production process before committing to additional units or a larger feed line, allowing them to evaluate performance, efficiency, and adaptability while minimizing initial investment risk.

This is a project about a machine for pellet straw and lucerne in Egypt. Egypt’s agricultural sector is rapidly modernizing to meet the growing demand for sustainable animal feed and biomass fuel. A mid-sized livestock farm in the Nile Delta, specializing in dairy cows and small ruminants, faced challenges in processing large volumes of wheat straw and alfalfa (lucerne) into consistent pellets suitable for feed.
Previously, the farm relied on manual chopping and loose mixing of straw and lucerne, resulting in uneven pellet quality and increased labor costs.
To improve feed efficiency and reduce labor intensity, the farm decided to invest in a single Machine For Pellet Straw And Lucerne. Unlike a complete animal feed production line, this standalone pellet machine was chosen to integrate with the farm’s existing pre-processing equipment, including straw choppers, lucerne pulverizers, and drying systems.
The goal was to pilot a high-quality pellet production process before committing to additional units or a larger feed line, allowing them to evaluate performance, efficiency, and adaptability while minimizing initial investment risk.
Name:
straw alfalfa pellet mill
Country:
Egypt
Date:
2025
Capacity:
2.8–3.0 T/H
Model:
CZLH520
Main Motor Power:
132 kW
Raw Materials:
Wheat straw, Lucerne
Pellet diameter:
6–8 mm
The Egyptian client operates a mid-sized livestock farm that produces both dairy milk and small ruminant meat. The farm’s primary feed ingredients are wheat straw from nearby rice and wheat mills and locally harvested lucerne. The client required a solution to convert these raw materials into high-quality feed pellets, ensuring consistent nutrition, digestibility, and intake for their livestock.
The customer purchased a single CZLH520 model grass pellet machine for the project:
| Parameter | Specification | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Main Motor Power | 132 kW | Provides sufficient power for medium-scale pelletizing |
| Ring Die Diameter | 520 mm | Ensures uniform pellet formation and density |
| Breaker Feeder Power | 3 kW | Controls initial feeding of fibrous materials |
| Forced Feeder Power | 1.5 kW | Maintains consistent feed into the pelletizing chamber |
| Pellet Diameter | 6–8 mm | Suitable for dairy cows and small ruminants |
| Production Capacity | 2.8–3.0 T/H | Matches farm’s daily feed requirement for medium-scale operations |
The choice of the CZLH520 straw alfalfa pellet making machine matched the farm’s medium-scale production needs, providing sufficient output to meet daily feed requirements for both dairy and small ruminant operations.
For this biomass pellet machine for pellet straw and lucerne in Egypt project, the farm used:
These raw materials were ideal for the Machine For Pellet Straw And Lucerne because they are fibrous, nutrient-rich, and compatible with ring-die pelletizing technology. Moisture content is controlled to prevent clogging and ensure uniform pellet formation, reducing waste and improving feed consistency.
The machine for pellet straw and lucerne in Egypt serves several critical functions for the Egyptian farm:
For the farm, the machine for pellet straw and lucerne in Egypt improved feed handling and storage while reducing waste. The uniform pellets are easy to transport and store, and they can be mixed with other feed ingredients efficiently, enhancing overall operational efficiency and feed utilization.
The Machine For Pellet Straw And Lucerne was shipped from Qingdao Port to Port Said, Egypt, via sea freight. RICHI Machinery provided full support including:
The farm reported that the machine was fully operational within three days of delivery, with RICHI technicians providing hands-on guidance to ensure smooth operation and optimal pellet quality. This minimized downtime and allowed immediate integration into daily feed production routines.
This model of grass straw pellet making machine is designed for high adaptability:
The farm chose this machine specifically for its ability to integrate with existing pre-processing equipment and deliver reliable, high-quality feed pellets consistently over time, making it a sustainable long-term investment.
Three months after commissioning, the farm shared their experience:
This Egyptian project illustrates how a single Machine For Pellet Straw And Lucerne can transform feed production:
For farms and livestock operations in Egypt seeking reliable feed pellet production, the Machine For Pellet Straw And Lucerne represents a cost-effective, high-performance, and long-term investment. Its versatility, durability, and professional support make it a trusted solution for efficient, safe, and high-quality feed production across the region.
