The Meelko MKFD260P pellet machine is a compact and robust unit designed for producing wood and biomass pellets using tractor PTO power take-off drive. With a 260mm flat die diameter, this equipment transforms sawdust, wood shavings, rice husks, sugarcane bagasse, agricultural residues, and other lignocellulosic materials into high energy-density fuel pellets. It is the ideal solution for sawmills, forest estates, agricultural cooperatives, and small producers who need to valorize their biomass waste without relying on three-phase electrical power.
This pellet machine features a 260mm diameter flat die with holes available in different sizes to produce pellets of 6mm, 8mm, or 10mm diameter according to the final application. The PTO power take-off drive allows connecting the machine directly to a tractor, utilizing the diesel engine power without requiring electrical installation. The compression rollers exert controlled pressure on the material passing through the die holes, forming cylindrical pellets that are cut to the desired length by adjustable blades located at the die periphery.
The MKFD260P can process a wide variety of biomass materials for pellet production. Softwood and hardwood sawdust is the most common raw material, producing pellets with excellent calorific value. Wood shavings and carpentry offcuts are also ideal materials that require prior crushing to reduce their particle size. Rice husks, sunflower shells, and peanut hulls are transformed into fuel pellets for domestic and industrial use. Dried and crushed sugarcane bagasse produces pellets suitable for industrial boilers. Agricultural pruning residues such as dry branches and leaves can also be processed after adequate grinding.
The PTO system of the MKFD260P offers unique advantages for rural and forestry operations. Independence from the electrical grid allows installing the pellet machine directly at the waste generation point, whether at the sawmill, the crop field, or the forestry harvesting area. The tractor powering the machine is equipment that already exists in most agricultural and forestry operations, which significantly reduces the initial investment required. The mobility of the tractor-pelletizer combination allows moving production to different locations according to raw material availability throughout the season.
The pellet manufacturing process with the MKFD260P follows a defined sequence of steps. First, the raw material must be reduced to an adequate particle size using a hammer mill. Then, material moisture is adjusted between 12 and 15 percent, the optimal range for compaction. The prepared material is fed into the pelletizer hopper, where the rollers compress it through the die holes at high pressure. The natural lignin in the wood acts as a binder when heated by friction, bonding the particles together without the need for additional chemical additives.
Pellets manufactured with the MKFD260P meet the quality standards required for use as fuel in stoves, boilers, and heating systems. Pellet density exceeds 600 kg per cubic meter, which guarantees high energy content per unit of volume. The moisture content of finished pellets remains below 10 percent, ensuring clean and efficient combustion. Uniformity in diameter and length facilitates automatic feeding in heating systems equipped with dosing screws for consistent fuel delivery.
Maintenance of the MKFD260P is straightforward and can be performed by the operator using basic workshop tools. The compression rollers are the highest-wear components and should be inspected periodically, replaced when the surface shows significant erosion patterns. The flat die has an extended service life when operated with clean materials at the correct moisture level. Lubrication of the main bearings must be performed according to the maintenance schedule included in the equipment technical manual provided with each unit.
