Our Agri 20 pellet machine is a game-changer for South African farmers and feed producers who need reliable, small-scale pelleting solutions. Designed to convert raw agricultural waste like maize stalks, wheat straw, and wood chips into dense, uniform pellets, this machine bridges the gap between industrial-scale equipment and manual processing. Unlike bulky models that demand massive infrastructure, our compact Agri 20 fits seamlessly into small workshops or farms, requiring just 30m² of space. Farmers across Limpopo and Mpumalanga already use it to create high-protein livestock feed from sunflower hulls and soybean meal, while biomass entrepreneurs in the Western Cape pelletize invasive alien plants for fuel. What sets our product apart is its modular design—compatible with standalone operation or integration into larger lines like the 2-2.5 t/h biomass plants popular in Gauteng. With a 15-25% moisture tolerance and optional molasses binding, it handles South Africa’s diverse raw materials without costly preprocessing. The hardened steel die and rollers withstand abrasive sorghum husks, common in Free State farms, ensuring 1,000+ hours of service. Whether you’re producing pellets for dairy cattle in KwaZulu-Natal or poultry feed in the Eastern Cape, the Agri 20 delivers 60-80 kg/hr output with under 10% fines—matching commercial quality at half the capex of imported alternatives.
Our Agri 20 operates on a roll-and-die extrusion principle perfected over two decades. When you load crushed feedstock into the hopper, the auger conveyor meters it into the conditioning chamber, where steam or water adjusts moisture to 12-18%—critical for binding proteins in animal feed. Twin rollers then compress the material against a rotating die ring, generating up to 120°C from friction alone. This heat gelatinizes starches in grains like maize, creating natural binders without additives. The die’s tapered holes (configurable from 2-12mm) shape the pellets, while a built-in knife cuts them to 5-50mm lengths. For biomass pellets, we recommend the 6-8mm die to optimize combustion in local stoves. Real-time motor load sensors adjust the auger speed, preventing jams from high-fiber materials like lucerne. In Johannesburg trials, this automation reduced energy use by 15% versus manual models. Post-extrusion, pellets exit at 40-50°C and can be cooled passively—a key advantage in load-shedding scenarios. The entire process is mechanical; no adhesives or chemicals are needed, complying with OBP certification standards for organic feed. Farmers in North West Province report 90% pellet durability even with roughage-heavy mixes, thanks to our patented L/D ratio (4:1) that enhances compression.

Our Agri 20 pellet machine manufacturing process begins with laser-cut steel plates welded into a compact chassis (400kg), tailored for South African smallholdings. We use locally sourced 5.5kW three-phase motors (20Amp) compatible with rural grid voltages, paired with a gear-driven transmission system to handle abrasive materials like maize stalks and sunflower hulls. The heart of the machine—a heat-treated alloy steel die (customizable 2-12mm holes) and tungsten-carbide rollers—undergoes 48-hour stress testing to endure Free State’s high-silica feedstocks. For conditioning, we integrate a molasses injection port (15% max moisture) and steam pre-heater, critical for binding protein-rich animal feeds. The control panel, mounted separately per AgriCon RSA’s safety standards, auto-adjusts auger speed via motor load feedback, preventing jams during load-shedding. Post-assembly, we test with Limpopo maize waste, achieving 200kg/hr output (under 10% fines) before applying anti-corrosion coatings for coastal climates. Spare parts—including dies, rollers, and bearings—are stocked in Johannesburg for quick dispatch, ensuring <72hr downtime. Farmers in Mpumalanga report 30% lower energy use versus Chinese imports, thanks to our patented L/D compression ratio (4:1) optimizing South Africa’s variable feedstock densities.

Our Agri 20 pellet machine transforms rice husks—a widely available but underutilized byproduct in South Africa—into high-energy fuel or feed pellets through a streamlined, automated process. Rice husks enter the widened hopper, where an auger system evenly feeds them into the conditioning chamber. Here, steam or water adjusts moisture to 12-18%, critical for binding the silica-rich husks without additives. The conditioned material then moves to the compression zone, where tungsten-carbide rollers exert 100-150kg/cm² pressure against a rotating die, generating friction heat up to 90°C. This heat gelatinizes natural lignin in the husks, acting as a binder while sterilizing pathogens. The extruded strands are cut into 6-10mm pellets by adjustable blades, then cooled in a counterflow system to stabilize durability. For husks, we recommend a 4:1 compression ratio and 6mm die holes to balance density (1.1t/m³) and combustion efficiency (≥95%). Our IoT-enabled control panel monitors motor load to auto-adjust feed rates, preventing jams from husk abrasiveness. Farmers in Limpopo use this setup to process 200kg/hr of husks into pellets with ≤7% ash content—ideal for clean-burning boiler fuel or cattle feed supplements. The machine’s hybrid PTO/diesel option ensures uninterrupted operation during Eskom outages, while its modular design allows integration with hammer mills for pre-processing husks.
