How To Make A Small Pellet Mill Profitable

With the launch of our new mini pellet mill which can be operated from a domestic power supply we receive many inquires from home owners who wish to produce their own pellets. The mini pellet mill was mainly designed to be the ideal small press for research and testing purposes. Using a small pellet mill to just produce fuel for your own needs is not really a practical approach. You have to factor in the time it takes to produce the tons of pellets you will require each year. While the productivity of such a small machine cannot justify a business in selling heating pellets, there are other markets you could consider. The limitations of a small pellet mill are that it productivity per hour will be fairly low, however it will be highly flexible to change. This means a small pellet mill is ideal for the production of niche pelleted products which will fetch a high price. The high price point means in even small quantities you can be fairly profitable. Please review the video below on how the mini pellet mill operates.

A good example of highly profitable pellets are those used as smoking pellets on BBQ's. These are produced from various types of hardwood such as apple, cherry, oak etc. They are sold in small bags, and can fetch very good profits indeed. Even a small pellet mill can produce a income sufficient for a few people. The mini pellet mill has an advantage over many other machines with its liquid injection system and mixing turbulator. I suppose the main point been made is that with owning a pellet mill you can look at various markets to develop your income stream, not just fuel pellets for pellet stoves and boilers.
