Electric Pellet Mill MKFD120B – 120 mm Die, 2.2–3 kW Motor
The MKFD120B electric pellet mill by Meelko is the most compact and accessible model in the flat die pellet mill line. Equipped with a 120 mm diameter die and an electric motor of 2.2 to 3 kW, this machine is designed for small-scale producers, farmers, researchers, and entrepreneurs who want to start their own pellet production economically and efficiently, without requiring large infrastructure investments.
Technical Features of the MKFD120B
The MKFD120B pellet mill operates on the flat die principle: material is forced through die holes by compression rollers that exert pressure on the active surface. The 120 mm die is the smallest in the Meelko range, making it especially suitable for small batches and testing new formulations.
The 2.2 to 3 kW electric motor provides sufficient power to process soft to moderately hard materials such as dehydrated herbs, alfalfa, cereal mixtures, softwood sawdust, and animal feed mixes. The low electricity consumption makes it one of the most economical pellet mills in terms of operating cost per kilogram produced in its category.
The machine frame is built from high-strength steel with anticorrosion treatment. The die and rollers are removable and replaceable, allowing pellet diameter to be changed simply by swapping the die for one with a different specification.
Applications of the MKFD120B
Thanks to its compact size and low energy consumption, the MKFD120B is ideal for the following applications:
Animal Feed: Production of feed pellets for poultry, rabbits, aquarium or pond fish, pets, and small ruminants. Pelleting feed improves palatability, reduces waste, and facilitates precise nutrient dosing.
Biomass for Heating: Production of pellets from softwood sawdust, shavings, or light agricultural residues for use in domestic pellet stoves or small space heating.
Research and Development: Animal nutrition laboratories, agronomy faculties, and research centers use the MKFD120B for small-scale formulation testing before scaling production to higher-capacity models.
Artisan Production: Artisan producers of pet food, granulated herbal supplements, and other niche products that require small batches with great formula flexibility.
Benefits of Pelleting with the MKFD120B
The pelleting process transforms powder or granular materials into compact, uniform pellets. This brings multiple advantages: higher energy density per unit volume, better preservation during storage, reduction of dust and ingredient segregation, and easier dosing and distribution.
For biomass producers, the pellet offers higher calorific value per volume, better flow in automatic boiler and stove feeding systems, and lower moisture content than the original raw material.
Maintenance and Spare Parts
MKFD120B maintenance is straightforward and can be performed by the operator without a specialist technician. Periodic maintenance operations include bearing lubrication, cleaning the pelleting chamber, and inspecting the condition of the die and rollers. Meelko supplies original replacement dies and rollers to guarantee optimal machine performance throughout its service life.
Meelko Technical Support
The MKFD120B pellet mill is backed by Meelko's technical support service, which includes advice on selecting die hole diameter and length-to-diameter ratio according to the material to be processed, guidance on optimal raw material moisture adjustment, and availability of original spare parts for rapid replacement in case of wear.
Conclusion
The MKFD120B electric pellet mill is the gateway to the world of pellet production for those seeking a compact, economical, and easy-to-operate machine. With a 120 mm die and 2.2 to 3 kW motor, it is perfect for small farms, agri-food entrepreneurs, and research centers requiring flexibility and low operating cost in quality pellet production.
Raw Material Preparation Tips
For best results with the MKFD120B, raw material should be prepared correctly before feeding into the pellet mill. Moisture content is one of the most critical factors: most materials require between 12% and 15% moisture for optimal pelletization. Too dry material produces fragile pellets that crumble easily; too wet material clogs the die and produces pellets that deform after exiting. Using a moisture meter before processing is strongly recommended.
Particle size also matters significantly. Materials should ideally be ground to a particle size of 3 mm or less before pelleting. Larger particles can clog the die holes and cause uneven compression, resulting in inconsistent pellet quality. A small hammer mill or grain grinder can be used to pre-process coarser materials to the appropriate particle size before pelleting.
Adding a small amount of water or steam during feeding can improve die performance and pellet durability. This is especially helpful when processing very dry or fibrous materials such as straw, hay, or dry crop residues that naturally have low moisture content.
