    The country's solid waste typically contains more organic components than other materials. In order to address and seek an effective solution, Mini-Feed Pelletizer with Load Cell and Stopper Sensor (MFPLCSS) was created which has the ability to create organic pelletized feeds. This paper studied the design and assembly of a mini-feed pelletizer with load cell and stopper sensor following the developmental research design. The MFPLCSS undergone 5 trials to attain reliable data to be evaluated. The machine has a production rate of 570 g/min. The machine efficiency is 37% while its pelletizer efficiency is 60%.
