Our technical team can provide specific guidance based on your operation’s unique conditions.

What daily maintenance is required for optimal performance?

Daily maintenance for your MAIKONG chicken feed pellet machine includes:

  • Checking and adjusting the roller-die gap
  • Inspecting and cleaning the feeding system
  • Lubricating all specified points according to the maintenance schedule
  • Cleaning the die surface after operation
  • Checking for any unusual noises or vibrations

Our comprehensive maintenance manual provides detailed instructions for all required procedures.

How can I maximize the lifespan of my chicken feed pellet machine?

To maximize equipment lifespan:

  • Follow the recommended maintenance schedule precisely
  • Ensure proper material preparation (correct moisture content and particle size)

  • Keep the machine clean and protected from environmental elements
  • Use only genuine MAIKONG spare parts for replacements
