This project focuses on developing an improved animal feed pellet machine that is affordable, ergonomic, and safe for small-scale animal breeders and newcomers. It addresses the high cost and lack of safety features in existing machines. This project introduces a portable, electrically powered mode with enhanced safety measures, including an emergency stop button and aluminum pellet dies for better hygiene and cleaning. The project aims to enable breeders to produce their feed pellets, improving efficiency and reducing costs. Key innovations include a simplified design for easy operation and maintenance, the ability to make different pellet sizes, and improved user safety features. This enhanced feed pelleting machine can produce 43kg of pellets per hour with an efficiency of 72%, indicating its potential to significantly benefit small-scale animal breeders by lowering feed production costs and improving accessibility to quality feed, such as using customized ingredients. This performance metric is a crucial result that underscores the machine's effectiveness in addressing the problems of high cost, ergonomics, and safety concerns associated with existing feed pelleting solutions. Recommendations for future improvements suggest using more durable materials, adding a hopper lock, a detachable chassis for easier maintenance, an additional side handle for maneuverability, and a lighter electric motor to enhance portability and user-friendliness.
