MKFD360R – 360 mm Roller Rotation Biomass Pellet Mill
The MKFD360R Roller Rotation pellet mill from Meelko is engineered specifically for hardwoods, low-lignin biomass and raw materials with poor natural binding, where conventional die-rotation (C-type) pelletizers struggle with feed slip, low compression or inconsistent pellets.

MKFD360R – 360 mm Roller Rotation Biomass Pellet Mill
High-pressure pelletizing for hardwoods, low-lignin biomass and difficult materials
The MKFD360R Roller Rotation pellet mill from Meelko is engineered specifically for hardwoods, low-lignin biomass and raw materials with poor natural binding, where conventional die-rotation (C-type) pelletizers struggle with feed slip, low compression or inconsistent pellets.
Unlike standard pellet mills, the R-type rotates the rollers instead of the die, delivering:
- Extremely high compression force
- Superior material grip
- Deep mechanical penetration
- Higher pellet density
- Stable operation with hard-to-process biomass
Although the R system runs at a slower working speed, reducing hourly output, it succeeds where C-type machines fail.
Why choose a Roller Rotation (R-Type) pellet mill?
Maximum compression
The MKFD360R generates significantly higher pressure, making it ideal for:
- Hardwoods
- Very dry sawdust
- Long-fiber biomass
- Low-lignin agricultural residues
- Materials with low adhesion
Superior pellet quality
R-type machines produce pellets that are:
- Denser
- Stronger
- More uniform
- Less dusty and brittle
Perfect feeding and traction
Roller rotation provides a firm grip on materials that normally slip on C-type dies, such as:
- Ultra-dry sawdust
- Softwood fines
- Irregular particle sizes
- Mixed biomass with weak cohesion
Production capacity
Because R-type pellet mills operate at a slower rotation speed, capacity is typically 40–50% of a C-type machine of the same diameter.
For the MKFD360R, the typical output is:
- Mixed biomass: 265–397 lb/h
- Hardwoods: 198–309 lb/h
- Low-cohesion dry materials: 154–265 lb/h
(Conversion: 1 kg = 2.20462 lb)
Recommended materials
Wood materials
- Dry pine
- Eucalyptus
- Poplar
- Hardwood sawdust
- Long shavings and coarse chips
Agricultural biomass
- Peanut shells
- Sunflower hulls
- Sugarcane residue
- Bagasse (fully dried)
- Dried crop waste
Difficult or low-adhesion feedstocks
- Fibrous mixtures
- Over-dried biomass
- Irregular particle blends
- Materials with minimal natural binders
Technical advantages of the MKFD360R
- Roller rotation system, delivering maximum torque and compression
- 360 mm heavy-duty die, heat-treated SAE steel
- High-pressure compaction chamber, ideal for abrasive biomass
- Reinforced cast-iron body, vibration-free operation
- Industrial baked anticorrosive paint, resistant to wood dust and humidity
- Quick-access service design, easy maintenance of die and rollers
Real-world trade-off
The R-type works slower than a C-type, reducing hourly output.
BUT it pelletizes materials that a C-type simply cannot handle.
In summary:
- C-Type: High output, lower pressure
- R-Type: Lower output, maximum pressure
For hardwoods and difficult biomass, the R is the only professional choice.
Material preparation guidelines
To achieve premium pellet quality:
- Moisture range: 8–12%
- Particle size: 3–5 mm
- Always dry materials sufficiently before pelletizing
- Remove stones, metals or hard contaminants
- Mix biomass evenly when combining different feedstocks
