Pellet mills for feed, plastics, and industrial products
Optimize pelleting output across diverse materials with precision, transforming raw ingredients into consistently high-quality end-products, from biofuel pellets to animal feed.

Processes Raw Materials into Durable Pellets
The 3000 Series Pellet Mill from CPM is a robust and efficient solution for transforming a variety of raw materials into high-quality pellets. This equipment is essential for industries such as animal feed production, biomass, plastics, and aquaculture. It excels with a positive direct gear drive that ensures a 98% energy transfer and features rounded cast gear cases for quieter operations. Applications include producing pellets for poultry feed, plastic granules, and biofuel briquettes.
With a segmented die clamp, it allows for quick die changes, increasing production flexibility. The modular gearbox design accommodates varying production needs, and an optional automatic grease system further enhances operational efficiency. The 3000 Series supports continuous and automated production at high speeds, making it suitable for large-scale operations. Optional features like roll speed measurement and enforcer die feeders enable precise control and customization to meet specific production requirements. Available with stainless steel pellet chambers, these mills ensure durability and resistance to corrosive materials. Customizable options and direct engineering support from CPM provide a tailored solution to meet diverse manufacturing needs.
