The TZ400 feed pellet production line is a turnkey feed processing solution engineered for livestock farmers, agricultural cooperatives, and commercial feed manufacturers seeking automated, large-scale feed production capabilities. This integrated system specializes in producing complete compound feed and forage pellets formulated for poultry, cattle, sheep, and various livestock species.
With a production capacity of 800–1,500 kg/h, this animal feed pellet mill transforms raw agricultural materials—primarily corn, straw, pasture, grains, oil cakes, rice bran, and wheat bran—into uniform, high-density feed pellets. The entire production workflow incorporates crushing, mixing, pelleting, cooling, screening, conveying, and packaging operations within a single coordinated system.
Corn serves as the primary energy source in typical feed formulations processed through this line. The standard test formulation utilizes 65% corn, 20% oil cake, and 15% rice bran or wheat bran, demonstrating the equipment’s optimization for corn-based feed production. This makes the TZ400 particularly valuable for maize-growing regions where farmers seek to add value to their corn harvest through on-farm feed processing.

How Does the Feed Pellet Production Line Work?
This livestock feed production line operates as a continuous, integrated processing system where each component feeds seamlessly into the next.
Materials Requiring Crushing
Straw, pasture, and grains enter the hammer mill for size reduction. A fan system transports the pulverized material through cyclone dust collectors and airlock feeders into the mixing chamber.
Pre-ground Materials
Powdered ingredients bypass crushing and proceed directly to the mixer via screw conveyors.
Inside the twin-ribbon mixer, multiple ingredients achieve thorough homogenization. The blended material elevates to a storage silo, then meters through an adjustable-speed feeder into the pellet mill where compression forms dense feed pellets. Fresh hot pellets enter a cooling and screening unit for temperature reduction and fines separation. Qualified pellets travel via belt conveyor to the automatic packaging machine, which executes weighing, bagging, and sealing operations according to preset parameters.
Raw Material Processing Requirements
Crushing Particle Size
- Grain materials: Must be crushed below 6mm
- Forage materials: Must be crushed below 10mm
Proper particle sizing ensures optimal mixing uniformity, reduces pelleting resistance, and minimizes finished product fines.
Moisture Content
Total moisture content of incoming forage and raw materials must not exceed 20%. Maintaining proper moisture prevents material adhesion, equipment blockages, and mold growth in finished pellets.
Ingredient Flexibility
The feed pellet making machine accommodates unlimited ratios of forage to powdered ingredients. Users may freely formulate feeds according to livestock species, nutritional standards, and specific dietary requirements.

Taizy Offers Three Feed Pellet Production Line Solutions
Feed Pellet Production Line – Solution 1
Feed Pellet Production Line – Solution 2
Feed Pellet Production Line – Solution 3
Key Differences Among Three Feed Pellet Processing Line Solutions
Solution 1: Standard Complete Feed Pellet Production Line
- Solution 1 is the standard configuration of a complete feed pellet production line. Both the pellet mill and the cooler are standard models. It serves as the baseline reference solution, while all auxiliary equipment follows a conventional configuration suitable for general feed production requirements.
Solution 2: Optimized Cooling System Solution
- Solution 2 uses the same equipment configuration as Solution A in all sections, including crushing, mixing, pelletizing, conveying, and packaging. The only difference is the cooling system, where the cooler model and technical parameters are upgraded or adjusted to meet specific cooling efficiency or capacity requirements.
Solution 3: Upgraded Pelletizing System Solution
- Solution 3 also keeps the same auxiliary equipment as Solution A, ensuring full-line consistency in crushing, mixing, cooling, conveying, and packaging. The only modification is the core pellet mill, which is upgraded to a different model or configuration to improve pelletizing capacity, efficiency, or output quality.
Overall Configuration Logic
All three solutions share the same complete production line structure, and the auxiliary equipment remains fully standardized. The differentiation is based on a single key component:
- Solution 1: Standard reference configuration (pellet mill + cooler standard)
- Solution 2: Modified cooling section (cooler upgraded)
- Solution 3: Modified pelletizing core (pellet mill upgraded)
This modular design allows flexible customization while maintaining a unified production system and stable compatibility across the entire line.

Perguntas Frequentes
How fine do raw materials need to be crushed before processing?
Grain materials should be crushed to a particle size of below 6 mm, while forage materials (such as straw and grass) should be reduced to 10 mm or less. Proper crushing ensures stable mixing, smooth pellet formation, and reduced wear on the pelletizing system.
Is there any requirement for moisture content of raw materials?
Yes. The moisture content of straw, grass, and other feed materials should be controlled at 20% or lower. Excess moisture may cause material sticking inside the system, reduce pellet quality, and affect long-term machine stability.
Is there a fixed ratio between forage and powder materials?
No. The system does not require a fixed mixing ratio. Users can freely adjust the proportion of forage materials and powdered ingredients based on livestock nutrition needs, local raw material availability, and formulation standards.
Can pellet length be adjusted?
Yes. Pellet length can be adjusted through a cutting knife installed at the pellet mill discharge outlet. By changing the knife position and cutting speed, operators can control pellet length to meet different feeding requirements.
What happens if raw materials are not properly prepared?
Improper preparation (such as oversized particles or excessive moisture) may lead to unstable pelleting, reduced output efficiency, higher energy consumption, and increased wear on key components such as the die and rollers.
Is the system suitable for different types of livestock feed formulas?
Yes. The production line is designed for flexible formulation and can process feed for poultry, cattle, sheep, goats, and other livestock by adjusting raw material composition and pellet specifications.
Does the system require special operator experience?
Basic training is sufficient. The control system is designed for centralized operation, and Taizy provides technical documentation and remote guidance to ensure operators can quickly learn the production process.
