Details:
MKFD300C Electric Pellet Mill 300 mm 22 kW for Animal Feed 600-800 kg/h – Meelko
The Meelko MKFD300C electric pellet mill for animal feed is a continuous production machine designed to convert forage raw materials, grains, and nutritional blends into compound feed pellets for cattle, poultry, swine, horses, and other species. With a 300 mm die and a 22 kW motor, it produces between 600 and 800 kg per hour of uniform pellets, offering an efficient and cost-effective solution for medium-capacity livestock farms and animal feed manufacturers.
Technical Specifications
The MKFD300C incorporates a 300 mm hardened steel flat die with calibrated holes to produce cylindrical pellets from 4 to 12 mm in diameter. The compression roller system distributes uniform pressure across the die surface for compact, high-density pellets with good cohesion, suitable for mechanical handling in automatic feeders and feed distribution systems. The three-phase 22 kW motor ensures stable performance through extended production cycles without overheating.
Raw Materials Processed
The MKFD300C is compatible with a wide variety of ingredients used in animal feed formulation. Commonly processed inputs include dehydrated alfalfa, ground hay, cereal straw, corn, soybean and derivatives, sorghum, barley, wheat bran, sunflower and cottonseed meal, beet pulp, citrus by-products, vitamin-mineral premixes, and feed additives. The machine can also process crop residues and agro-industrial by-products that would otherwise have no commercial value.
For high-quality pellets, raw materials should have a moisture content of 12 to 16%. Steam conditioning improves material plasticization and reduces die wear. Molasses can be added as a natural binder to improve pellet cohesion and palatability.
Benefits of Pelleted Animal Feed
Pelleting animal feed represents a significant improvement in the productive efficiency of livestock operations. Uniform pellets ensure each animal consumes the complete formulated ration without sorting ingredients, maximizing feed conversion efficiency and growth uniformity across the batch. The high-temperature pelleting process also deactivates pathogens present in raw materials, improving feed safety.
From a logistical standpoint, pellets are easier to dose, transport, and store than powder or irregularly granulated feeds. They generate less dust, segregate less during transport, and have greater density per volume, reducing storage and shipping costs.
Applications by Animal Species
The MKFD300C is used on cattle farms for protein and energy concentrate production, in swine facilities for starter, grower, and finisher feed manufacturing, in poultry plants for broilers and layers, in equine stables requiring compact high-energy rations, and in aquaculture farms for floating or sinking pellets for fish and shrimp. Its flexibility in die diameter selection makes it adaptable to the specific pellet size requirements of each species and production stage.
Operation and Maintenance
The MKFD300C is intuitive to operate and can be quickly learned by farm personnel. Quick access to the pelleting chamber facilitates cleaning between formulations and die changes for different pellet diameters. Preventive maintenance includes bearing lubrication, periodic inspection of the die and rollers, and adjustment of the roller-to-die gap for different material types. Meelko guarantees genuine spare parts availability including dies, rollers, and bearings, ensuring production continuity. Technical support is available for commissioning and process optimization for each specific livestock operation's feed formula.
Why Produce Your Own Animal Feed Pellets
Producing feed pellets on-farm with the MKFD300C offers significant economic advantages over purchasing commercial compound feed. Farmers can formulate rations using locally available raw materials at lower cost, control nutritional composition precisely for their herd's specific requirements, reduce dependence on commercial feed price fluctuations, and generate additional revenue by selling surplus production to neighboring farms. The machine pays for itself quickly when operated at regular production capacity, making it one of the most financially sound investments available to livestock producers looking to reduce their feed cost per kilogram of animal weight gained.
