Step Up Your Feed Production with Reliable Medium-Scale Power
Scale your on-farm feed production with the PT 1800 Pellet Making Machine. Bridging the gap between entry-level and commercial equipment, this robust 7.5hp pelletizer is designed for medium-scale poultry, dairy, and piggery operations across Kenya that demand higher output without compromising on pellet quality.
With a production capacity of up to 300kg per hour, the PT 1800 effortlessly processes mixed rations of maize germ, omena (fishmeal), lime, and vitamin premixes into dense, highly palatable pellets. Its reinforced gearbox and heavy-duty flat die ensure smooth, continuous operation, making it a favorite among progressive farmers in Nakuru, Eldoret, and Kiambu who are serious about optimizing their livestock's growth and milk production.
