MKFD120R – 120 mm Roller Rotation Biomass Pellet Mill

The MKFD120R Roller Rotation pellet mill is the most compact R-type model from Meelko, engineered specifically for softwood sawdust, fine shavings, light agricultural residues and low-lignin materials that are difficult to compact with a standard die-rotation (C-type) machine.

With a 120 mm fixed die and high-traction roller rotation system, the MKFD120R delivers strong compression in a small footprint—ideal for workshops, small carpentries, homestead operations, nurseries and biomass startups.

MKFD120R – 120 mm Roller Rotation Biomass Pellet Mill

High-compression pelletizing for light, dry and low-cohesion biomass

The MKFD120R Roller Rotation pellet mill is the most compact R-type model from Meelko, engineered specifically for softwood sawdust, fine shavings, light agricultural residues and low-lignin materials that are difficult to compact with a standard die-rotation (C-type) machine.

With a 120 mm fixed die and high-traction roller rotation system, the MKFD120R delivers strong compression in a small footprint—ideal for workshops, small carpentries, homestead operations, nurseries and biomass startups.


Why choose the R-Type system on a 120 mm pellet mill?

Superior traction on lightweight materials

The R-type mechanism ensures stable feeding with materials that usually slip or fail to compact, such as:

  • Very dry softwood sawdust
  • Fine shavings
  • Light biomass with low natural adhesion
  • Agricultural residues with minimal lignin

Dense pellets despite very small machine size

The MKFD120R produces pellets that are:

  • Firm and compact
  • Low in dust and fines
  • Easy to handle, store and transport

Low power consumption, professional compression

This compact pellet mill offers industrial-grade pressure using only a small motor, making it ideal for:

  • Entry-level biomass producers
  • Low-volume specialty pellets
  • Locations with limited power availability

Production capacity

As with all R-type machines, output is lower than an equivalent C-type model, but the MKFD120R excels with difficult materials.

Typical performance:

  • Light biomass / fine shavings: 22–33 lb/h
  • Dry softwoods: 17–26 lb/h
  • Low-cohesion agricultural residues: 13–22 lb/h

(1 kg = 2.20462 lb)


Recommended materials

Wood biomass

  • Dry pine or poplar sawdust
  • Softwood shavings
  • Pre-milled carpentry residues without glue or paint

Agricultural residues

  • Dried crop waste
  • Sunflower hulls
  • Peanut shells
  • Fully dried pruning material

Low-binder materials

  • Over-dried biomass
  • Low-lignin mixtures
  • Irregular fiber blends
  • Fine particles with poor adhesion

Technical advantages of the MKFD120R

  • Roller Rotation system for maximum traction and deep compression
  • 120 mm fixed die in hardened SAE steel
  • Reinforced compression chamber for challenging biomass
  • Heavy cast-iron structure, vibration-resistant
  • Industrial baked anticorrosive coating
  • Quick access to rollers and die for simple maintenance

Inherent characteristic of R-type pellet mills

  • Lower throughput, but
  • Able to pelletize materials that C-type units cannot handle

Simple rule:

  • C-Type → higher speed
  • R-Type → higher pressure

If the material is difficult, dry or low-cohesion, the MKFD120R is the correct choice.


Material preparation guidelines

To achieve the best pellet quality:

  • Moisture: 8–12%
  • Particle size: 1–3 mm
  • Remove stones, metal and contaminants
  • Ensure biomass is fully dried
  • Mix materials evenly when using blends
