Maikong pelleting machine is a high-quality feed and biomass processing equipment designed to transform raw materials like grains, grass, wood, and agricultural waste into compact, nutrient-rich pellets for animal feed, fish farming, and fuel production. Our machines are built with durable alloy steel and advanced engineering to withstand Nigeria’s demanding farming conditions while delivering consistent output. Unlike traditional manual methods that waste time and reduce feed quality, Maikong pellet machines ensure uniform pellet size, improved digestibility for livestock, and higher profitability for farmers. We specialize in both small-scale manual pellet mills for household use and large industrial pelleting systems for commercial feed producers, ensuring every customer—whether a small poultry farmer in Ogun State or a large feed mill in Kano—gets the right machine for their needs. With features like adjustable compression rollers, corrosion-resistant dies, and energy-efficient motors, Maikong pellet machines help Nigerian farmers reduce feed costs, minimize waste, and maximize livestock growth rates.
Maikong pelleting machines operate on a simple yet highly efficient principle: compression and extrusion. Raw materials are fed into the hopper, where they are evenly distributed before entering the conditioning chamber (for feed machines) to mix with steam or water for better binding. The conditioned material then moves between the rotating roller and die, where intense pressure forces it through small holes, shaping it into dense, cylindrical pellets. The heat generated during this process naturally gelatinizes starches in the feed, improving digestibility for animals. For floating fish feed pellets, our machines include an additional post-cutting mechanism to ensure uniform size and buoyancy. Once extruded, pellets are cooled and hardened, ready for packaging or immediate use. Unlike older models that jam frequently, Maikong machines use self-lubricating bearings and precision-balanced dies to minimize friction, reduce energy consumption, and extend machine lifespan—critical for Nigeria’s power-unstable environments. Whether processing poultry feed in Lagos or wood pellets for cooking fuel in rural areas, our machines deliver 98% pellet formation efficiency with minimal fines or breakage.
A pelleting machine, whether for animal feed or biomass, works by mechanically compressing powdered or fibrous materials into solid pellets through a die under high pressure. The process begins with raw material preparation—grinding ingredients like maize, soy, or sawdust to a fine consistency for smooth pellet formation. In Maikong machines, the conditioned mix enters the pressing zone, where rollers force it through die holes, creating friction that heats the mixture to 70–90°C, binding particles without artificial additives. For livestock feed, this heat treatment also kills harmful bacteria, making pellets safer for consumption. The freshly extruded strands are cut to desired lengths by an adjustable knife and discharged for cooling. Key to Maikong’s design is the wear-resistant die and roller assembly, which maintains consistent pellet density even with abrasive materials like rice husks or palm kernel cake—common in Nigerian feed formulations. Unlike cheaper imports that overheat or clog, our machines feature automatic grease lubrication and quick-release dies, allowing farmers to switch between feed types (e.g., poultry to fish feed) in under 10 minutes.
Maikong fish feed pelleting machines are engineered to produce both sinking and floating pellets tailored to tilapia, catfish, and other species farmed across Nigeria. The process starts with a finely ground mix of fishmeal, vitamins, and binders, which is preconditioned with steam to 28–30% moisture for optimal expansion during extrusion. In floating feed production, the material is pushed through a ring die with tapered holes, creating pockets of air inside the pellets that ensure buoyancy in water. For sinking feed (used in deep ponds), a flat die system applies higher pressure to eliminate air pockets, making pellets denser. Our machines include a post-extrusion dryer to reduce moisture to 10%, enhancing shelf life in humid climates like Port Harcourt or Calabar. Critical for Nigerian fish farmers, Maikong pellet mills offer adjustable compression settings to control pellet hardness—softer for juvenile fish, harder for adults—and a built-in oil-coating system to add nutrients post-production. With outputs ranging from 100 kg/h (for small hatcheries) to 1 ton/h (commercial farms), our machines help farmers reduce feed waste by up to 40% compared to manual feeding methods.
Our floating fish feed pelleting machine is designed to produce high-quality floating pellets for aquaculture, especially suited for tilapia, catfish, and other fish species farmed across Nigeria. The process begins with raw materials like maize, soybean meal, fishmeal, and vitamins being finely ground into a uniform powder to ensure even mixing. This mixture is then conditioned with steam or water to achieve optimal moisture content (around 25–30%), which is critical for the gelatinization of starches during extrusion. The conditioned mash is fed into the extruder chamber, where a rotating screw forces it through a tapered die under high pressure (20–30 bar) and temperature (90–120°C). This combination of heat and pressure causes the starches to gelatinize, creating a porous, low-density structure that allows the pellets to float. As the gelatinized material exits the die, a adjustable knife cuts it into uniform lengths, and the pellets are then dried in a cooler to reduce moisture to below 10%, ensuring long shelf life and preventing mold growth in Nigeria’s humid climate. The final pellets are lightweight, highly digestible, and float for over 12 hours, making them ideal for efficient feeding in ponds and cages. Our machines also feature customizable die sizes (2–10mm) to accommodate different fish growth stages, from fingerlings to adults, and include an oil-coating system to enhance nutrient absorption. Unlike sinking pellets, our floating feed reduces waste by allowing farmers to monitor consumption and adjust feeding rates, ultimately improving feed conversion ratios (FCR) by up to 30% compared to traditional methods.

Building a feed pelleting machine requires precision engineering and an understanding of material science. Our factory starts with high-grade alloy steel for the die and rollers, CNC-machined to tolerances of ±0.01mm to ensure smooth compression. The core assembly includes a hopper for raw material intake, a conditioning chamber where steam is injected to soften the mash, and an extruder screw that forces the mixture through the die under 10–15 tons of pressure. Critical components like bearings are sealed to withstand dust and moisture, while the gearbox is calibrated for 5,000+ hours of continuous operation. For small-scale DIY builders, key steps include welding a sturdy frame to house the motor, mounting a flat die (5–8mm hole size) with adjustable rollers, and integrating a 3-phase motor (minimum 7.5kW for 100kg/h output). Safety features like thermal fuses and belt guards are mandatory to prevent accidents. While commercial machines use automated PLCs for consistency, homemade versions can employ manual levers to adjust compression—though pellet quality may vary. We recommend sourcing pre-hardened dies from industrial suppliers, as hand-cutting dies often lead to uneven pellet density. For Nigerian farmers, our team offers on-site training to assemble and maintain these machines, emphasizing lubrication schedules (every 8 hours) and die polishing to prevent clogging from sticky materials like cassava.

Building a feed pelleting machine requires precision engineering to ensure durability and efficiency for Nigerian farms. Our process starts with selecting high-grade alloy steel for the die and rollers, CNC-machined to ±0.01mm tolerance to prevent uneven compression. The core assembly includes a hopper for raw material intake, a conditioning chamber where steam softens the mash (critical for starch gelatinization), and an extruder screw that forces the mixture through the die under 10–15 tons of pressure. For small-scale DIY builders, key steps involve welding a sturdy frame to house a 7.5kW motor, mounting a flat die (5–8mm hole size) with adjustable rollers, and integrating a 3-phase power supply. Safety features like thermal fuses and belt guards are mandatory to prevent accidents common in rural workshops.

We recommend sourcing pre-hardened dies from industrial suppliers, as hand-cut dies often lead to clogging with sticky materials like cassava or palm kernel cake. For Nigerian farmers, our team provides on-site training to assemble and maintain these machines, emphasizing daily lubrication (every 8 hours) and die polishing to prevent material buildup. Key challenges include adapting to local power fluctuations—our diesel-powered models solve this—and managing moisture levels in humid climates like Port Harcourt, where exceeding 14% moisture causes pellet crumbling. With proper maintenance, a well-built machine can produce 100–500 kg/h of uniform pellets, reducing feed waste by 30% compared to manual methods.

Our husk pellet machine is designed to efficiently process rice husks, agricultural waste, and other biomass materials into high-density fuel or feed pellets, ideal for Nigerian farmers and industrial users. The operation begins with raw material preparation, where rice husks or similar biomass are dried to below 15% moisture content for optimal binding during pelleting. The dried material is fed into the hopper, where a screw conveyor evenly distributes it to the compression chamber. Inside the chamber, a rotating roller forces the husks through a die under high pressure (10–15 tons), generating heat that naturally activates lignin in the biomass, acting as a binder without additives. The extruded pellets are cut to uniform lengths by an adjustable knife and cooled to harden, ensuring durability for storage and transport. For rice husks, our machine includes a pre-conditioning step to remove silica content, which can wear down standard dies—our alloy steel dies are specially coated to resist abrasion, extending lifespan by 3x compared to conventional models. The entire process is energy-efficient, with optional diesel engines for areas with unstable grid power, and produces pellets with consistent density (600–700 kg/m³), suitable for combustion in boilers or as livestock bedding. Key to our design is the automatic lubrication system, reducing manual maintenance, and the quick-release die assembly, allowing farmers to switch between pellet sizes (4–10mm) in under 10 minutes. Safety features like overload protection and emergency stop buttons ensure safe operation, while the low-noise (<70dB) design complies with urban regulations in cities like Lagos or Kano. With outputs ranging from 100–500 kg/h, our husk pellet machine helps Nigerian users convert waste into profitable products, reducing reliance on expensive imported fuels or feed.
