Animal Feed Pellet Machine

Animal Feed Pellet Machine,

Our Factory delivers top-quality Animal Feed Pellet Machines designed to empower Nigerian farmers and livestock producers with efficient, cost-effective feed solutions. We understand the challenges faced by poultry, fish, and livestock farmers across Nigeria—rising feed costs, inconsistent quality, and poor animal growth rates—which is why our machines transform locally available raw materials like maize, soybean, cassava peels, and groundnut husks into nutrient-rich pellets that boost animal health and farm profitability.

Our Product combines rugged durability with smart engineering to process mash or powdered feed into compact pellets, preventing selective eating and ensuring every animal receives balanced nutrition. Unlike traditional mash feeds that waste up to 20% due to spillage and dust, our pellet machines increase feed density by 40–100%, saving storage space and cutting transportation costs significantly. Farmers report 10–12% higher feed conversion rates in poultry and 4% faster weight gain in pigs when using our pellets, thanks to starch gelatinization during the high-temperature pelleting process that enhances digestibility.

We prioritize ease of use for Nigerian smallholders and large-scale farms alike. Our machines feature simple die-and-roller systems made from heat-treated alloy steel, resisting wear even under prolonged use with abrasive materials like rice bran or palm kernel cake. With capacities ranging from 150kg/hr for small farms to 1,000kg/hr for commercial operations, our models accommodate diverse needs. Operators appreciate the low noise levels and minimal power consumption, crucial in regions with unstable electricity.

For aquaculture, our sinking pellets maintain water stability for over an hour, reducing waste in fish ponds, while poultry farmers benefit from Salmonella-free feed that meets EU safety standards through steam sterilization during pelleting. We include adjustable cutters to customize pellet length (2–10mm) for chicks, layers, or broilers, and provide hands-on training to ensure proper machine handling—like preheating dies in cold weather to prevent cracking.

Beyond equipment, we offer end-to-end support: from selecting the right model (flat-die for grass-based feeds or ring-die for high-volume production) to maintenance tips like monthly bearing lubrication with high-speed grease. Our machines help Nigerian farmers turn agro-waste into premium feed, slashing costs by 30% compared to imported alternatives. Join thousands who trust our expertise to maximize yields—whether for catfish, layers, or cattle—with reliable, locally adapted technology built to thrive in Nigeria’s climate and market conditions.

Transform your livestock farming operations with MAIKONG’s advanced animal feed pellet machines. Our high-efficiency pelletizing equipment converts raw materials into nutritious, easy-to-store feed pellets for all types of livestock. As a leading manufacturer from Shenzhen, China, we combine cutting-edge technology with competitive pricing to deliver exceptional value to South African farms and feed mills.

Frequently Asked Questions About Animal Feed Pellet Machines

Get answers to common questions about MAIKONG animal feed pellet machines and their operation in South African farming environments.

What raw materials can be processed in your animal feed pellet machines?

MAIKONG animal feed pellet machines can process a wide variety of raw materials including corn, wheat, barley, soybean meal, alfalfa, grass, rice bran, wheat bran, and various agricultural by-products. For optimal results, materials should be ground to a consistent particle size (typically 2-3mm) before pelleting. Our machines can be configured with different dies to accommodate various material characteristics.

What is the minimum capacity animal feed pellet machine you offer?

Our smallest animal feed pellet making machine is the MK-SZLH250 model with a capacity of 1-1.5 tons per hour. For smaller operations, we also offer manual and household-scale feed pellet machines with capacities starting from 50-100 kg/hour. These smaller units are ideal for small farms or for testing formulations before scaling up production.

How do I maintain my animal feed pellet machine for optimal performance?

Regular maintenance is essential for optimal performance and longevity. Key maintenance practices include:

  • Daily inspection of wear parts (dies and rollers)
  • Regular lubrication of bearings and moving parts
  • Cleaning of the conditioning chamber and die surface
  • Checking and tightening of all bolts and connections
  • Monitoring motor temperature and performance
  • Replacing worn dies and rollers as needed

We provide detailed maintenance manuals with each machine and offer technical support via WhatsApp for troubleshooting assistance.
