This study presents the design, development, and performance
evaluation of a portable pelletizer machine with a production capacity of 50-60 kg per hour. The machine is equipped with a 1 HP electric motor and features key components such as a 6-inch cylindrical tube, a 4 mm die for pellet formation, two pressing rollers, and a sophisticated control system.
The study investigates the machine's performance by testing twodifferent formulations, varying the die sizes (4 mm, 6 mm, and 8 mm), and analyzing the

resulting pellet shape and uniformity. The findings indicate that both formulations struggled to produce well-formed and uniform pellets, with the pellets being described as "Pulverized" or "Slightly form" with varying degrees of compactness. The smaller die sizes (4 mm and 6 mm) showed slightly better results compared to the larger 8 mm die size, but overall, the pellets lacked the desired level of compactness and uniformity. This suggests that the formulations and processing conditions may require further optimization to improve the quality of the produced pellets.
The study concludes with recommendations for improving the performance of the portable pelletizer machine, including formulation optimization, process parameter optimization, machine design refinement, and comprehensive testing and validation. Implementing these recommendations can enhance the machine's ability to consistently produce high-quality pellets, making it more suitable for industrial applications.
