Grass pellet machine is a mechanical device that compresses raw materials such as grass, straw, alfalfa into high-density pellets under high temperature and high pressure. It is widely used in animal feed and biomass fuel production. This equipment does not require the addition of adhesives and uses the raw material's own lignin to plasticize and shape.
It has the advantages of energy saving and environmental protection, improving storage and transportation efficiency, and reducing production costs. It is the core equipment for the resource utilization of agricultural waste.
A grass pellet machine is specialized equipment designed to process various grass-based materials (such as alfalfa, pasture grass, lawn clippings, and forage) into high-density pellet fuel or animal feed through mechanical compression. Its core principle relies on the natural lignin in grass fibers, which, under high temperature and pressure, plasticizes and binds the material together—eliminating the need for chemical adhesives.
As a key solution for "turning green waste into gold," the grass pellet machine converts low-value grass residues into high-value pellets used for livestock feed, biomass fuel, or soil improvement. This transformation delivers economic, environmental, and policy-driven benefits, supporting sustainable agriculture and renewable energy initiatives.

The compress grass pellet mill is the main equipment in the grass pellet production line to make pellets, it compress the dry finely pulverized material and transform them into a cylinder shape pellet at a temperature of 80 degree.
The raw material is delivered into the grass pellet machine though the conveyor and then transferred into a rotating ring die by a feeder. Finely pulverized grass material will be pressed into grass pellet making machine ring die through two press rollers. The resulting pressure compresses the material and extrudes it through the holes in the die.
Difference between grass feed pellet machine and grassfuel pellet making machinelies in the conditioner. For the most fuel use, grass pellets do not have to be tempered, unless you want to add pellet binder; but as feed pellets, they must be tempered, because this will increase the maturity of the grass pellets and is more conducive to the absorption of nutrients by the animals. At present, grass pellet press machines are mainly used to process grass pellets by granulating grass.
Below are the technical specifications and parameters of the 6 models of grass pellet machines we can provide. The output of a single machine covers 0.5-8 tons per hour. But it should be noted that this capacity is correct when your raw materials are only grass, straw or similar raw materials. If your raw materials contain grains, the capacity of the grass pellet machine is different depending on the raw material ratio. The greater the grain content, the higher the pellet machine capacity. The raw material type, raw material ratio and raw material material state of each customer are different. So, if you have determined your raw materials, you can contact us directly and let RICHI engineers help you select a grass pellet machine.

When grass pellet quality counts, count on RICHI MACHINERY
Contact US NowBefore processing grass pellets and during the pelleting process, there are requirements for the particle size, moisture content, raw material ratio, mixing uniformity and pelleting parameters of the raw materials. The key technical indicators for processing different grass pellets are different.
During the processing of grass pellets, the particle size of the raw materials has an important impact on the quality of the final product. Generally speaking, feed pellet production requires that the raw materials be crushed to a particle size range of 3-5mm, among which soft forage grasses such as alfalfa and ryegrass are controlled at 3-4mm, while harder straw raw materials such as corn stalks and wheat straw are suitable for 4-5mm.
If it is to produce fuel pellets, the particle size requirement can be appropriately relaxed to 5-8mm, which can reduce energy consumption while ensuring the molding rate.
The impurity content in the raw materials must be strictly controlled, usually not exceeding 5%. In particular, hard impurities such as sand, stone, and metal must be completely removed, among which magnetic metal impurities need to be removed by magnetic separators, while fibrous impurities such as plastics and ropes can be handled by manual sorting or air separation. These measures can effectively protect equipment and ensure product quality.
Moisture control is one of the key links in grass pellet processing. The ideal moisture range of raw materials is 12%-20%, which should be adjusted according to the purpose of the product. When producing feed pellets, the moisture content should be controlled between 14%-18%.
Too high will easily cause mildew, and too low will affect the cohesiveness of the pellets. The moisture requirement of fuel pellets is lower, usually 10%-15%, to increase the calorific value of combustion. For high-fiber raw materials such as straw, it must be pre-dried to a moisture content of no more than 15% before subsequent processing.
In terms of raw material ratio and mixing, different formulas have different requirements. You can choose any formula according to your needs, and our pelletizer can meet the processing needs. Taking dairy cow feed pellets as an example, some customers use a ratio of 60% alfalfa, 30% corn flour and 10% soybean meal, and the mixing uniformity requires a coefficient of variation of no more than 5%.
Some customers often use a formula of 50% ryegrass, 30% wheat straw and 20% bran for processing sheep mixed feed, which requires a twin-shaft mixer to mix for 3-5 minutes. Some customers usually use a raw material ratio of 70% switchgrass and 30% sawdust for processing biomass fuel pellets, requiring the moisture difference of each component after mixing to be no more than 2%.
The control of tempering temperature is crucial to the quality of feed pellets. The standard tempering temperature range is 65-85℃, which should be adjusted according to the characteristics of the raw materials. The tempering temperature of high-protein forages such as alfalfa should be controlled at 65-75℃ to avoid protein denaturation; high-fiber forages such as straw require a higher temperature of 75-85℃ to improve gelatinization. If active ingredients such as probiotics are added to the formula, the tempering temperature must be controlled below 60℃ to protect their activity.
The pelletizing process parameters need to be optimized according to the product type. Forage feed pellets usually use a ring die compression ratio of 1:6 to 1:8, the spindle speed is controlled at 250-300rpm, the die aperture is 3-5mm, and the discharge temperature does not exceed 50℃.
Straw fuel pellets require a higher compression ratio of 1:8 to 1:10, the speed is reduced to 200-250rpm, the die aperture is increased to 6-8mm, and the discharge temperature is controlled below 60℃. The process parameters of mixed organic fertilizer pellets are relatively moderate, with a compression ratio of 1:5 to 1:7, a speed of 180-220rpm, a die aperture of 4-6mm, and a discharge temperature of no more than 45℃.
In actual production, various problems may be encountered. If the pellets are fragile, it is necessary to check whether the moisture content of the raw materials is too low or the compression ratio is insufficient; mold blockage is often caused by over-wetting of the raw materials or insufficient fiber crushing; and a decrease in output may be caused by ring die wear, which usually has a service life of about 500-800 hours. Mastering these key parameters and solutions can significantly improve the grass pellet forming rate, product quality and equipment service life.

In rural areas, weeds are a common problem. The long-term existence of a large number of weeds not only affects the soil of farmland, but also threatens the growth of crops, seriously affecting the development of agriculture. Therefore, how to deal with the weed problem has become an urgent problem to be solved.
At the same time, weeds are also a potential resource. Using scientific and reasonable methods to utilize weeds can create many new values. For example, some experts believe that deep processing of weeds into pellets can be used as animal feed or feed mainly based on feed, which brings convenience to the breeding industry.
At the same time, these weed pellets can also be used to produce energy, such as fuel, diesel, etc., which is a very promising direction.
In order to convert weeds into usable resources, deep processing is required. The deep processing process of weeds mainly includes the following steps:
Through such deep processing, weeds can be converted into a useful grass pellets.
The deep processing of rural weed pellets can be applied to many fields, especially in agriculture.
With people's attention to natural resources and the enhancement of awareness of environmental protection, using rural weeds to create new industries is not only an environmentally friendly way, but also a sustainable development direction.
