A Single Phase Pellet Mill That Can Make Wood Pellets

The problem with most pellet mills is that they require a three phase electrical supply, this is particularly true of pellet mills that are designed to manufacture wood pellets. To compress wood into pellets takes more energy that other materials, and therefore it is make a single phase pellet mill make wood pellets. For instance you will see many small Chinese flat die pellet mills that state they can produce wood pellets. However the reality is these presses can only process wood once it is mixed with a lower density material to help reduce power demand. The reasons for this are because the flat die pellet mill design wastes a lot of energy due to roller slip. However we offer a product that can produce wood pellets and run from a single phase domestic electrical supply, the mini pellet mill.

As you can see from the video the mini pellet mill does not use a flat die but is based on the design of a ring die pellet mill. This design does not suffer from roller slip and therefore wastes more energy. This means more energy is available to be used in the process of compressing the wood fiber into pellets. However the mini pellet mill advantages do not stop there, is has several features not see on other small pellet mills. For instance there is a raw material hopper with a variable speed feed auger. This makes it possible to precisely control the feed of material into the pellet mill. A feature which is taken very seriously in professional pellet equipment but largely ignored in the budget end of the pellet machine market. The material then is intensively mix through the conditioner before it is sent into the pellet mill die and rollers.
