How to Make Wood Pellets wiht Pellet Mill

Below, we look at these three steps in detail to make sure you get the most from your Pellet Mill. Moisture content of raw materials must be kept below 16%. To produce a quality pellet, massive mechanical pressure is required to create binding of the raw materials However, the greater the moisture content, the poorer the pellet quality. Additionally, friction within the Pellet Die creates heat and if the Die temperature exceeds approximately 90degrees Celsius, moisture will begin to gasify.

Experience tells us that if moisture content of raw materials exceeds 16%, pellet quality will begin to suffer Material for pelleting should be of a consistent particle size. Shavings will cause blockages in the feed mechanisms and larger bodies (chips and off cuts) can cause mechanical failures.
If pelleting straw or reeds, it first needs to be chopped to the point where it will flow into a hammer mill. Sawdust with shavings and straw can be milled through a hammer mill (grinder) with a 6mm screen fitted. Larger bodies should be granulated or milled down to pass through a 6mm screen. Although it is possible to pellet many types of soft and hard woods through a single Die, compression is controlled through the addition of water and pellet binders.
