Questions buyers ask

Single mill or complete plant?

A single pellet mill is the cheapest entry; a complete plant adds grinding, mixing, cooling, screening and bagging for consistent feed. We quote both and the steps in between.

Can it make different feed recipes?

Yes. The mixer and dies handle different formulas and pellet sizes for poultry, cattle, pig or fish. We set the die and the mixer to your recipes.

Want a landed price for your machine?

Send your specs and quantity. We quote FOB or delivered within two business days.
