Small-scale pellet mill for animal feed production
Achieve precise pellet formulation for diverse feedstocks with an efficient, energy-conscious design, ideal for producers seeking reliable, adaptable output in continuous operation.

The 1100 Series Pellet Mill from CPM is a compact, production-scale solution engineered for a range of industries, including animal feed, biomass, and aquaculture. Featuring a positive direct gear drive with 98% energy transfer, it utilizes a single motor for optimal efficiency. The mill’s modular gearbox design ensures flexibility in production, while metal-to-metal seals enhance durability. Applications extend from cattle feed pellets to fish feed and wood pellets. With the ability to process varying materials into consistent pellets, the mill offers a segmented die clamp system for expedited die changes. Optional features include an automatic grease system and the Enforcer feeder for enhanced throughput. Integration into production lines is seamless, supported by thorough process control options like the MCP Pellet Mill Controller. Constructed with a stainless steel pellet chamber, the mill ensures corrosion resistance and ease of maintenance.
