MKFD260C Pellet Mill: Efficient Production of Animal Feed Pellets
The Meelko MKFD260C 260mm pellet mill with 15kW electric motor is a machine designed for the production of animal feed pellets for cattle, poultry, and pigs. With a production capacity of 550 to 700 kilograms per hour, this pellet mill transforms alfalfa, pastures, ground grains, agro-industrial byproducts, and forage mixtures into compact, nutritious pellets continuously and efficiently. The pelleting process improves feed digestibility, reduces waste, and facilitates the handling, storage, and distribution of the finished product.
Technical Specifications of the MKFD260C
The MKFD260C operates with a 15kW electric motor that provides the power needed to process forage mixtures with varying moisture and fiber levels. The 260mm diameter die accepts different hole sizes to produce pellets of various diameters depending on the animal type and feed formulation. The compression pressure applied by the rollers on the die ensures pellet cohesion without requiring artificial binders in most formulations. The V-belt transmission system absorbs load variations and protects mechanical components from torque spikes during operation.
Compatible Raw Materials and Formulations
The MKFD260C is compatible with a wide variety of raw materials used in animal feed production: fresh or dry alfalfa, tropical pastures, grass hay, corn flour, ground sorghum, wheat bran, soybean meal, sunflower meal, brewery byproducts, and mixtures of these ingredients in different proportions. Pellet quality depends on raw material moisture, particle size, and the formulation used — factors the operator can adjust to optimize production according to the target animal species and the nutritional requirements of the diet being formulated.
Benefits of Pelleting for Animal Nutrition
Producing feed in pellet form offers numerous advantages over supplying feed as powder or meal. Pellets are easier to handle and distribute in feeders, reduce ingredient segregation, and ensure each animal consumes the same proportion of nutrients at every meal. The density and hardness of the pellet improves feed conversion efficiency, resulting in lower feeding costs per kilogram of weight gain. Additionally, the high-pressure pelleting process eliminates some of the pathogens present in raw materials, improving the health safety of the feed supplied to animals.
Design for High Durability and Continuous Production
The MKFD260C has been built for continuous operation during extended production shifts. The die and rollers — the most heavily worn components in any pellet mill — are manufactured from specially heat-treated high-hardness steel to maximize service life. The bearing lubrication system is designed for extended maintenance intervals, reducing unplanned downtime. The steel housing and robust frame withstand the vibrations inherent in the compression process without structural fatigue, ensuring the integrity of the equipment over the long term and minimizing total cost of ownership.
Easy Die Change and Adjustment
A key operational advantage of the MKFD260C is the ease of changing the die to adapt the equipment to different formulations and pellet diameters. The clamping system allows the die to be removed and installed quickly without specialized tools, minimizing downtime during production changeovers. The rollers are also easily accessible and replaceable when they show excessive wear. This operational flexibility makes the MKFD260C suitable for producers who manufacture different feed formulations for different animal species such as cattle, sheep, pigs, and poultry.
