Nigerian Success Stories | Real farmers use our machines—see proven results. | 500+ happy customers nationwide. |
① Pellet Machines Turn Powder into Compact Pellets Our pellet machines compress raw materials (like corn, sawdust, or poultry waste) into small, dense pellets. These pellets are easier to store, transport, and use than loose powder. For farmers, pelletized feed reduces waste and improves animal digestion. Factories use biomass pellets for clean fuel.
② How the Pelletizing Process Works First, you load crushed material into the machine’s hopper. Inside, a rotating die (flat or ring-shaped) presses the powder through small holes under high heat and pressure. The friction cooks the mixture slightly, binding it naturally without glue. Cut blades trim pellets to uniform size.

Frequent Jamming | Cheap feeders; no overload protection. | Upgrade to auto-feed systems with safety pins. |
High Energy Use | Inefficient gearboxes; outdated designs. | Energy-saving Siemens motors (20% less power). |
Short Lifespan | No lubrication ports; manual greasing. | Auto-lubrication systems for rollers. |
Noisy Operation | Loose bolts; unbalanced rollers. | Laser-balanced rollers & vibration dampeners. |
Slow Production | Underpowered motors; small die holes. | Match machine capacity to your needs (50 kg/h to 5 TPH). |
Rust & Corrosion | No anti-rust coating; humid storage. | Galvanized frames & free moisture-proof covers. |
Fire Hazard | Dust buildup near motors. | Include dust collectors with every machine. |
① Daily Cleaning & Inspection We train all customers to clean machines after each use. Remove leftover feed/biomass with brushes (never water!). Check for loose bolts—tighten with our free toolkit. Inspect dies for blockages; use our 6 mm drill bit for clogged holes. Dirty machines lose 30% efficiency .
② Lubrication & Wear Parts Grease roller bearings every 48 hours (high-speed grease only). Replace dies every 500–1,000 hours (we stock ₦50k–₦200k dies in Lagos). Watch for grinding noises—they signal worn rollers. In winter, preheat machines for 15 minutes to avoid cracks .
③ Long-Term Upkeep Store machines under our waterproof covers (free with purchase). Upgrade old models with auto-lubricators (₦120k add-on). Join our free annual maintenance checks in Lagos/Abuja. Follow our WhatsApp channel for live troubleshooting .
① MAIKONG Showrooms & Dealers Visit our Lagos (Ikeja) and Abuja (Garki) showrooms to test machines before paying. We work with 10 verified dealers in Kano, Port Harcourt, and Enugu. Ask for ID cards—real staff wear MAIKONG uniforms. Beware of fake “discount warehouses” .
② Safe Online Purchase Order on our Jumia store (100% buyer protection) or website (https://pelletmachine.ng). Avoid Facebook sellers—they lack warranties. We ship via GIG Logistics (trackable) or DHL (2–5 days). Pay only after receiving waybill numbers .
③ Scam Alerts Never pay into personal accounts—use our GTB/UBA corporate accounts. Check for hologram stickers on machines.
