Rongda Mechanical RD-320 Feed Pellet Mill

Turn Raw Materials into High-Quality Feed Pellets (2-3 T/H)

1. Introduction to the RD-320 Feed Pellet Mill

In the global feed industry, efficient pellet production is key to reducing material waste, improving feed palatability, and ensuring nutrient retention for livestock (poultry, swine, cattle) and aquaculture. Rongda Machinery's RD-320 Feed Pellet Mill is specifically engineered for small-to-medium feed processors, with a production capacity of 2–3 tons per hour—striking the perfect balance between performance, compact design, and cost-effectiveness.

Unlike generic pellet mills, the RD-320 integrates advanced compression technology and durable components to handle diverse feed raw materials (corn, soybean meal, wheat bran, grass meal, and more). It transforms loose, dusty powder into uniform, hard-wearing pellets (3–12mm diameter, customizable) that are easy to store, transport, and digest—helping feed producers boost product value and meet market demand.

2. Key Features & Competitive Advantages

The RD-320 Feed Pellet Mill stands out in the mid-capacity pelletizing market for its reliability, efficiency, and user-friendly design. Core advantages include:

• Stable 2–3 T/H Capacity: Optimized die and roller design (with 320mm die diameter) ensures consistent output, even when processing high-fiber materials (e.g., alfalfa meal) or high-moisture blends.
• High Pellet Quality: Precision-machined chromium-plated die and heat-treated alloy steel rollers achieve 98% pellet formation rate—pellets are hard (durable in storage) yet easy for animals to chew, with no nutrient loss from overheating.
• Energy-Efficient Operation: Equipped with a 18.5 kW high-torque motor and variable-frequency drive (VFD), the RD-320 consumes 15–20% less energy per ton of pellets compared to similar models, cutting operational costs long-term.
• Easy Maintenance & Safety: Quick-release die and roller assembly allows for replacement in 45 minutes (no heavy tools needed); built-in overload protection and emergency stop button prevent damage from material jams.
• Versatile Material Adaptability: Supports pellet diameter customization (3mm for poultry, 8mm for swine, 12mm for cattle) and works with both compound feed and organic feed (e.g., manure-based pellets for aquaculture).

3. Technical Specifications

Below is a detailed table of standard parameters for the RD-320 Feed Pellet Mill. For specialized needs (e.g., high-temperature pelletizing for aquatic feed), custom upgrades are available.

4. Industry Applications & Real-World Cases

The RD-320 Feed Pellet Mill is trusted by feed processors in 30+ countries, from livestock farms to commercial feed factories. Here are two representative success stories:

Case 1: Commercial Feed Factory (Vietnam)

Client Challenge: A medium-sized feed factory in Ho Chi Minh City needed to expand its poultry feed production from 1.5 T/H to 2.5 T/H to supply local chicken farms. Their old pellet mill had frequent die jams and produced uneven pellets, leading to 10% material waste.

Solution: Rongda installed two RD-320 Feed Pellet Mills (total capacity 5 T/H) with 4mm dies (for broiler feed) and integrated them with the factory's existing mixer and cooler.

Results:

• Pellet formation rate reached 98%, reducing waste to 2% and saving $12,000/month in raw material costs.
• Production capacity met target (2.5 T/H per machine), allowing the factory to sign 3 new farm supply contracts.
• Die and roller lifespan exceeded 6 months (vs. 4 months for the old mill), cutting maintenance costs by 30%.

Case 2: Organic Livestock Farm (Canada)

Client Challenge: A family-owned organic cattle farm in Alberta wanted to produce its own feed pellets (using alfalfa, barley, and wheat straw) to avoid expensive commercial organic feed. They needed a compact, easy-to-operate mill with 2 T/H capacity.

Solution: A single RD-320 with 10mm die (for cattle feed) and a small-scale mixer (supplied by Rongda) to pre-blend raw materials.

Results:

• The farm reduced feed costs by 40% (from 400/ton to 240/ton) by producing in-house.
• Pellets retained 95% of alfalfa's nutrients (tested by a local lab), improving cattle weight gain by 15%.
• The farm now sells excess pellets to 5 nearby organic farms, creating a new revenue stream.

6. Complementary Equipment for a Complete Feed Line

Pair the RD-320 with these Rongda products to build a turnkey feed production system:

• Feed Mixer (RM-1000): Blends raw materials uniformly (1 T/batch) to ensure pellet nutrient consistency.
• Pellet Cooler (RC-300): Cools hot pellets (from 80°C to 25°C) in 15 minutes, preventing mold growth.
• Magnetic Separator (MS-500): Removes metal impurities from raw materials to protect the RD-320's die and rollers.
