Equipment Introduction
Our animal bedding pellet mill can process biomass raw materials such as wood shavings，sawdust, and straw into 4-12mm pellets. These pellets are highly absorbent, produce little dust, and are environmentally friendly and odorless, making them widely applicable in stables, pet farms, and ranches. The equipment has passed CE and ISO certifications, operates stably, is reliable, and sells globally, making it the preferred choice for many users.
Structure of Animal Bedding Pellet Mill
The feeding system, conditioning system, granulation system and transmission system of this equipment work together to ensure the production requirements of continuous granulation.
Feeding System
Using a variable frequency feeder and a forced feeder ensures that raw materials such as sawdust and wood shavings enter the pellet mill evenly and smoothly, effectively preventing material agglomeration and blockage, thereby significantly improving production efficiency. Meanwhile, the equipped anti-arching device allows for flexible adjustment of the feeding speed. Operation is simple and convenient, reducing manual intervention.
Modulation System
The conditioner is made of 304 stainless steel and uses axial steam injection to thoroughly mature and sterilize the materials. The high-temperature steam softens the wood fibers and activates the adhesive properties of natural lignin, significantly improving the compactness of the bedding particles. Furthermore, the system’s multi-layer conditioner extends the residence time of the materials within the conditioner, resulting in more hygienic, odorless, and higher-quality bedding.
Pelletizing System
The core components are made of highly wear-resistant and high-quality materials. The ring die and pressure roller work together efficiently to form uniform granules of 4-12mm from the pre-treated material under high-pressure compression technology. The ring die features a convenient replacement design, which can flexibly adjust the granule size to adapt to different animal farming scenarios. It has high granulation efficiency, low energy consumption, uniform granule formation, and strong water absorption.
Drive System
Employing a direct-drive gear structure, this system offers higher transmission efficiency compared to traditional belt drives. A Siemens motor directly drives the main shaft via the gearbox, ensuring stable torque output suitable for long-term heavy-duty operation. The core bearings are from the imported SKF brand, and the gears undergo carburizing and quenching treatment for improved wear resistance and impact resistance. The machine operates smoothly with low noise, significantly reducing maintenance frequency and operating costs.

Advantages of Animal Bedding Pellet Mill
We strive for excellence and put your needs first, committed to creating a high-quality pellet mill that will satisfy you.
number one
Strong Raw Material Adaptability
This equipment can process a wide range of biomass raw materials, from rice husks, sawdust, to bentonite, pulp, and fiber, all of which are perfectly compatible. You can flexibly granulate according to your own formula and needs. Furthermore, during the pelleting process, you do not need to use any additional additives. The natural lignin contained in the raw materials is sufficient to achieve a good binding effect under the high temperature and pressure of the pellet mill.
number two
Robust And Durable Equipment
The machine body is made of corrosion-resistant materials, resulting in a longer service life. Parts in contact with materials are made of 304 stainless steel, which improves the machine’s performance, reduces material contamination, and is more suitable for long-term granulation. Core components such as the ring die are made of 40CrMo and have undergone carburizing heat treatment, providing better wear resistance. This makes the equipment operate more stably and can meet the requirements for long-term continuous operation.
number three
Superior Finished Product Quality
The pellets produced by our pellet mill are high in density and highly absorbent, effectively absorbing urine and reducing odor. At the same time, the pellets have low dust content, avoiding irritation to the animal’s respiratory tract. The pellet diameter is 4-12mm, suitable for various animals such as hamsters, rabbits, and horses; you can adjust the pellet length to suit your needs.
Applications of Animal Bedding Pellet Mill
Our animal bedding pellet mills have a wide range of applications and can meet the production needs of livestock farms, pet bedding processing plants, sawdust plants, and more.
Livestock Farm

Complete animal bedding Production Processing
The complete animal bedding pellet processing workflow includes raw material cleaning, crushing, drying,mixing, pelletizing, cooling,screening and packaging.
Raw Material Cleaning Section
A rotary drum pre-cleaner is used to remove impurities carried in raw materials such as rice husks, wood shavings, and sawdust, preventing them from wearing out the equipment.
Crushing & Drying Section
The cleaned raw materials are then fed into a hammer mill for crushing.The material is dried in a rotary dryer in preparation for subsequent granulation.
Pelletizing Section
The dried material, meeting the moisture requirements for granulation, enters the pelletizing chamber, where the pellet mill forms it into uniformly sized pellets.
Cooling Section
The counterflow cooler cools the pad material particles to room temperature.
Screening Section
Finished bedding pellets inevitably contain powder and fragments, requiring screening equipment such as vibrating screens to separate them.
Packaging Section
The qualified bedding pellets are weighed and packaged using a packing machine.

Customized Solutions
We provide customized animal bedding production solutions tailored to specific animal types, raw materials, and production capacity requirements, helping you achieve efficient, low-cost, and large-scale production.
Lightweight Wood Shavings Blockage
Lightweight raw materials-such as wood shavings and sawdust-are prone to causing blockages and interruptions in the feed flow. By incorporating forced feeding and variable frequency control technologies, alongside an optimized feeding structure, it is possible to significantly reduce blockage rates and enhance continuous production capabilities.
High Moisture Content Raw Material Pelletizing Issues
Raw materials such as wood chips and crop stalks often possess high moisture content; attempting to pelletize them directly frequently results in loose or cracked pellets. Integrating a rotary dryer into the system improves pellet density and product stability, thereby minimizing raw material waste.
Excessive Dust in Animal Bedding
Traditional animal bedding is typically loose and generates excessive dust, which adversely affects animal respiratory health and incurs high costs for cleanup and transportation. By optimizing the pelletizing process and compression density-and by utilizing a vibrating screen to remove fine particles-it is possible to produce bedding pellets characterized by low dust levels and high absorbency.
Low Efficiency of Manual Packaging
Manual weighing and packaging methods are inefficient and prone to significant errors, making it difficult to meet the demands of large-scale production. By integrating an automated weighing and packaging system-which enables precise quantitative packaging and automatic sealing-manufacturers can drastically reduce labor costs and substantially boost packaging efficiency.
