The Meelko MKFD360C is a high-capacity electric flat die pellet mill designed for the production of compound animal feed pellets for cattle, swine, poultry, horses, and other livestock species. With a 360 mm die diameter and a 22 kW electric motor, this unit produces between 680 and 820 kilograms of pellets per hour, offering an efficient and cost-effective solution for farms producing their own feed and companies manufacturing commercial compound feed concentrates.
The core of the MKFD360C is its 360 mm hardened steel flat die, capable of producing cylindrical pellets ranging from 4 to 12 mm in diameter depending on the die configuration selected. The compression roller system applies uniform pressure across the die surface to extrude material through calibrated holes, generating compact, well-formed pellets with high density and mechanical strength that hold together during handling and feeding.
The three-phase 22 kW electric motor is built for extended duty cycles without overheating. The helical gear transmission system reduces vibration and operating noise, extending the service life of internal components. The robust housing protects all mechanisms from dust and moisture contamination in livestock farming environments.
The MKFD360C is optimized to process a wide range of raw materials used in compound animal feed manufacturing. Common inputs include dehydrated alfalfa, ground hay, corn, soybean meal and derivatives, sorghum, barley, wheat bran, beet pulp, blood meal, bone meal, sunflower and cottonseed cake, and blends of micronutrients and feed additives.
For high-quality pellets, raw materials should have a controlled moisture content between 12 and 16%. If materials are too dry, water or steam can be added during a pre-conditioning step before pelleting to improve cohesion and reduce die wear. Adding molasses as a natural binder also improves pellet integrity and palatability for the animals.
Pelleting compound animal feed offers nutritional and logistical advantages over powdered or irregularly granulated feeds. Uniform pellets enable precise dosing in automatic and manual feeders, reduce waste from selective eating by the animal, and improve feed conversion efficiency by ensuring each animal consumes a balanced ration with every bite.
From a sanitary standpoint, the pelleting process involves temperatures that eliminate most pathogens present in raw materials, improving feed safety. Pellets are also easier to store and transport than powders or meals, as they generate less dust, pack more efficiently in bags and containers, and have a longer shelf life when stored under proper conditions.
The MKFD360C pellet mill is widely used on livestock farms that produce their own compound feed, by manufacturers of concentrates and compound feeds for commercial distribution, by agricultural cooperatives supplying feed to their members, and on intensive production farms where precise nutritional formula control is critical for animal performance.
It also has applications in pet food production, aquaculture fish feed, and industrial-scale poultry operations. The machine's versatility and the ability to swap dies for different pellet diameters make it adaptable to multiple species and production stages throughout the animal cycle.
The MKFD360C is designed for easy day-to-day operation and maintenance. The quick-access pelleting chamber provides immediate access to the die and rollers for cleaning, inspection, and replacement. The roller-to-die gap is adjusted via external adjustment screws, simplifying setup for different formulations and material types.
Preventive maintenance includes bearing lubrication, periodic inspection of die and roller condition, and checking fastener torque. With a proper maintenance program, the equipment operates with high availability and delivers a positive return on investment in the medium term. Meelko provides genuine spare parts and technical support to ensure maximum operational efficiency throughout the service life of the machine.
