AGICO Ring Die Animal Feed Pellet Mill
The AGICO Ring Die Feed Pellet Mill is a high-efficiency, stable pelletizing equipment designed for large-scale, industrial feed production. Renowned for its exceptional compression performance, intelligent control system, and long-lasting durability, it has become the preferred choice for feed processing enterprises worldwide to enhance product quality and reduce overall costs.
The AGICO Ring Die Feed Pellet Mill is the core host machine for modern industrial pelletized feed production. It transforms mixed powder feed into high-density, high-nutrition-value pellet feed through advanced mechanical design and perfected process conditioning.
Choosing an AGICO Ring Die Pellet Mill means you will achieve:
- Superior Feed Quality: Dense pellet structure with a smooth surface significantly improves feed palatability, digestibility, and absorption rate, effectively preventing animal selective feeding.
- Higher Economic Returns: Reduces dust loss and segregation during transportation and feeding, lowering comprehensive losses.
- More Convenient Storage & Transport: Pellet feed has reduced volume and increased density, substantially saving storage space and transportation costs.
- Safer Feeding: The high temperature and pressure during the pelleting process effectively eliminate harmful microorganisms like salmonella, ensuring animal health.
Working Principle
Core Power for Modern Feed Production
1. Uniform Feeding
A variable-speed feeder delivers the mixed powder material at a constant, controlled rate into the conditioner.
2. Efficient Conditioning
Inside the multi-layer paddle conditioner, the material is thoroughly mixed, softened, and cooked with saturated steam (or added molasses, fats, etc.), significantly increasing starch gelatinization and laying the foundation for high-quality pelleting.
3. Powerful Compression
The conditioned material enters the compression chamber formed by the ring die and rollers. The rotating ring die drives the rollers, forcibly squeezing the material through the die holes to form dense cylindrical strands.
4. Precise Length Cutting
Adjustable knives located outside the ring die cut the extruded strands into pellets of uniform length.

Components of Ring Die Animal Feed Pellet Mill
1. Ring Die
Material: Made from high-quality alloy structural steel (e.g., 20CrMnTi).
Process: Undergoes deep carburizing and precision quenching treatments, achieving a surface hardness above HRC 60 while maintaining a tough core, combining extreme wear resistance with impact resistance.
Design: Features scientific die hole distribution and compression ratio design, optimized for different raw materials (e.g., poultry/livestock feed, high-hardness aquatic feed), ensuring maximum pellet quality and output.
2. Roller
Manufactured from wear-resistant materials matching the ring die, with surface grooves or dimples to increase friction.
The gap between the roller and die can be micro-adjusted to achieve optimal compression efficiency and minimal energy consumption.
3. Heavy-Duty Transmission System
Utilizes a high-precision, heavy-load gearbox for smooth transmission, low noise, and high torque, specifically designed for harsh 24/7 continuous operation, ensuring efficient and reliable power delivery.
4. Intelligent Control System
Key functions include main motor current monitoring, automatic centralized lubrication, overload protection, and conditioning temperature automatic feedback, effectively ensuring equipment safety and reducing manual intervention.
Advantages of the AGICO Ring Die Pellet Mill
High Output: Our model range covers outputs from 0.5 t/h to over 30 t/h, meeting various capacity needs from medium-sized feed mills to ultra-large feed enterprises.
Exceptional Pellet Quality: Finished pellets have high hardness, low powdering rate (can be controlled ≤8%), uniform and aesthetically pleasing appearance, and high commercial value.
Unparalleled Stability: The integrally cast, robust body and precision transmission system ensure the equipment can withstand the test of long-term continuous production, with mean time between failures far exceeding industry standards.
Intelligent Operation & Maintenance: User-friendly design simplifies operation and routine maintenance. The ring die housing door features a large-opening hinge design, making mold replacement more time-saving and labor-efficient.
Application
AGICO ring die pellet mills are widely used in:
Poultry & Livestock Feed: Complete formula pellet feed for pigs, chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, etc.
Aquatic Feed: Sinking and floating pellets for fish, shrimp, crabs, etc. (requires high compression ratio ring dies).
Specialty Feed: Pet food, fur animal feed, etc.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How do I select the right ring die compression ratio for a new machine?
A: The choice depends on the raw material formula and product requirements. Generally, poultry/livestock feed uses medium-low compression ratios, while aquatic and pet feed require high compression ratios. Our technical engineers can provide professional advice based on your specific situation.
Q: What could be the reasons for a high powdering rate in pellets?
A: Possible reasons include insufficient conditioning temperature/moisture, low ring die compression ratio, excessive ring die wear, or incorrect knife positioning. Our service team can help diagnose and adjust the process.
Q: Can AGICO provide repair services for ring dies and rollers?
A: Yes. We offer professional ring die and pressure roller reconditioning services, restoring their performance through re-drilling and surface treatment, saving you costs.
