MKFD120B Electric Pellet Mill: Affordable Animal Feed Production for Small Farms
The MKFD120B is the most compact and accessible flat-die electric pellet mill in the Meelko range. With a 120mm diameter die and a 2.2 to 3kW electric motor, this machine is designed for the production of balanced animal feed pellets for poultry, rabbits, pigs, ruminants, and fish on domestic installations, family farms, and small agricultural businesses. Its exceptional value for money and ease of operation make it the first pellet mill for thousands of entrepreneurs taking their first steps in self-sufficient feed production.
Advantages of Producing Your Own Balanced Animal Feed
Producing your own animal feed with the MKFD120B offers significant economic and productive advantages over buying commercial pellets. By pelletizing raw materials available on the farm or easily sourced from local markets — such as corn, soybean meal, wheat, bran, milling by-products, and other ingredients — producers can reduce the cost per kilogram of feed by 30% to 60% compared to finished commercial pellets. They also gain full control over the nutritional composition of the ration, allowing it to be adjusted to the specific needs of each species and productive stage of their animals.
Compact Design for Limited Spaces
The compact design of the MKFD120B makes it ideal for installations with limited space. Its small floor footprint allows installation in small sheds, rural workshops, or even covered outdoor spaces. The manageable weight of the machine facilitates relocation within the facility as needed. The simple construction of the MKFD120B minimises potential failure points and facilitates cleaning and maintenance of the pelletizing chamber between production batches of different composition.
Simple and Efficient Pelletizing Process
The operating principle of the MKFD120B is the classic flat-die press design: the electric motor drives a vertical shaft that rotates the compaction rollers over the surface of the flat perforated die. The raw material mixture is fed through the upper hopper and falls onto the die, where the rollers compress it against the extrusion holes. The friction and pressure generated compact and heat the mixture, which exits extruded as continuous pellet cylinders through the underside of the die. A fixed or adjustable knife cuts the cylinders to the desired pellet length.
Compatibility with Multiple Raw Materials
The MKFD120B can process a wide variety of raw materials and feed mixtures. Cereal flours such as corn, wheat, barley, and sorghum pelletize with excellent results. Milling by-products, brans, soybean, sunflower and rapeseed protein expellers, as well as mineral and vitamin additives, are easily incorporated into the mixture. To obtain good-quality pellets with the MKFD120B, the mixture should have a moisture content between 14% and 17% and a particle size appropriate for the die hole diameter used. Meelko offers dies with different hole diameters to adapt pellet size to each animal species.
Electric Motor: Low Operating Cost and Quiet Operation
The 2.2 to 3kW electric motor of the MKFD120B offers very low operating costs compared to equivalent gasoline or diesel motors. Electricity consumption is minimal for the quantity of feed produced, and the electric motor also has the advantage of quiet operation with no fume emissions in the workspace. Start and stop are instantaneous, facilitating the management of production batches of different sizes. The motor is available in single-phase 220V and three-phase 380V versions to suit the electrical installation available at each farm.
Simple Maintenance with Available Spare Parts
The MKFD120B is designed for minimal and easy maintenance. The wear components — primarily the die and compaction rollers — are the only elements requiring periodic replacement. Meelko keeps original spare parts for the MKFD120B in stock, including dies with different hole diameters, roller kits, and bearings, guaranteeing availability for fast delivery. Replacement of these components can be carried out by the user following the machine's instruction manual, without the need for a specialist technician.
The First Pellet Mill for the Small Producer
For thousands of agricultural producers in Latin America, Europe, and Africa, the MKFD120B is the gateway to the world of self-produced balanced animal feed. Its accessible price, ease of use, compact size, and low operating costs make it the ideal choice for anyone wanting to take the first step towards autonomy in animal nutrition without making a large investment. With the MKFD120B, producing your own feed is no longer exclusive to large industrial operations, but is within reach of any family farmer who wants to improve the profitability of their livestock or poultry activity.
