2.8–3.0 T/H Pelletizer of Alfalfa in Uzbekistan

Client Identity and Equipment Purpose

The client represents a forward-thinking agricultural cooperative in Uzbekistan, combining feed processing with livestock management. Purchasing a single CZLH520 alfalfa pelletizer allowed them to:

• Process fibrous dehydrated alfalfa and wheat straw into high-quality pellets.
• Produce pellets suitable for multiple livestock types, including cattle and sheep.
• Operate independently without committing to a full alfalfa pellet production line upfront.
• Replace outdated equipment that could not handle high-fiber material efficiently.

Standalone operation provides the client with operational flexibility, allowing them to scale production gradually while maintaining high pellet quality and consistency.

Raw Materials and Feed Formulation

The client uses a combination of dehydrated alfalfa hay, wheat straw, and local cereals, optimized for different livestock. Typical feed formulations include:

• Sheep feed: 65% alfalfa hay, 25% barley, 10% wheat straw
• Beef cattle feed: 50% alfalfa, 30% wheat straw, 20% corn
• Dairy cattle feed: 70% alfalfa, 20% oat hulls, 10% wheat bran

Raw material characteristics:

• Alfalfa hay: Dehydrated, rectangular bales, chopped 8–10 mm, moisture 10–12%
• Wheat straw: Chopped to 6–8 mm
• Cereal grains: Ground or rolled for consistent blending

The combination of high-quality dehydrated alfalfa and selected cereals ensures optimal protein and fiber content, crucial for meat and milk production, while maintaining feed consistency and palatability for all livestock.

Equipment Selection and Technical Specifications

After evaluating options, the client selected the CZLH520 alfalfa pellet making machine, balancing capacity, durability, and fiber-handling capability.

The reinforced rollers and ring die are ideal for fibrous alfalfa and straw, producing dense, uniform pellets suitable for various livestock species. Adjustable pellet size and compression allow customization for different animals, enhancing digestibility and feed efficiency.

Pellet Sizes and Livestock Applications

The CZLH520 pelletizer of alfalfa in Uzbekistan allows for customized pellet sizes:

• 4–5 mm: Young lambs and calves
• 6–8 mm: Adult sheep and dairy cattle
• 8–12 mm: Beef cattle requiring high energy feed

Adjustable roller pressure ensures consistent pellet density, reducing dust and feed wastage. This flexibility is crucial for multi-species farms and enhances overall feed management.

Operational Benefits

Key advantages of the CZLH520 pelletizer of alfalfa in Uzbekistan include:

• High throughput: 2.8–3.0 T/H, suitable for medium-scale feed operations
• Durable design: Handles high-fiber alfalfa without clogging
• Multi-species feed capability: Adjustable pellet size for different animals
• Standalone operation: No need for a full production line initially
• Energy-efficient: Compatible with farm-level electricity supply

The reinforced rollers and ring die ensure high-quality pellets with minimal downtime, even with fibrous alfalfa hay and mixed straw materials, improving operational efficiency and feed consistency.

Raw Material Forms and Sources

The client processes various forms of alfalfa and complementary feedstocks:

• Dehydrated alfalfa hay: Rectangular bales, chopped 8–10 mm
• Wheat straw: Chopped 6–8 mm, sourced from nearby farms
• Corn, barley, oat hulls: Rolled or ground for uniform blending

All materials are locally sourced, reducing logistics costs and ensuring freshness and nutrient retention, which is vital for high-quality pellet production and livestock performance.

Shipping and Logistics

The CZLH520 grass pellet machine was shipped from Qingdao Port, China, to the Uzbekistan border via the port of Aktau, Kazakhstan, the nearest major shipping hub capable of handling heavy equipment.

RICHI Machinery provided:

• Pre-shipment testing to ensure operational readiness
• Full customs documentation
• On-site installation and training, allowing immediate operation

This approach ensured minimal setup time and smooth operation, enabling the farm to begin pellet production efficiently.

Multi-Species Feed Production

With the CZLH520 pelletizer of alfalfa in Uzbekistan, the farm now produces multiple livestock feeds efficiently:

• Sheep feed: 4–6 mm, 65% alfalfa, 25% barley, 10% straw
• Beef cattle feed: 8–12 mm, 50% alfalfa, 30% wheat straw, 20% corn
• Dairy cattle feed: 6–8 mm, 70% alfalfa, 20% oat hulls, 10% wheat bran

The reinforced rollers and die maintain pellet quality across all formulas, ensuring consistent nutrition, structural integrity, and reduced feed wastage.

Client Feedback

After four months, the client reported:

"The CZLH520 pelletizer has greatly improved our feed production efficiency. Pellets are consistent in size and quality, suitable for both our sheep and cattle. RICHI’s support during installation and training was professional and comprehensive. We are confident this machine is a valuable long-term investment for our farm."
