A pellet mill or machine press is a mechanical device utilized to compress and shape powdered or finely-grained substances in large quantities into dense, uniform units known as pellets. These pellets are more convenient for storage, transportation, and distribution compared to their original form. Pelletization is a common process applied to various agricultural materials, including fertilizers and pesticides. For animal farming, compound feed is often produced by milling a blend of ingredients into small pellets, similar in size to a kernel of corn, to ensure consistent nutrition for each animal being fed.
