The Process Of Making Wood Pellets From Sawdust

Fuel pellets are becoming one of the biggest alternative energy sectors, growing not only on providing homes and businesses with heating fuel, but now there is also a growing sector producing fuel pellets for coal power plants.

The coal power plants are using the fuel pellets made from straw and wood to burn along side coal to reduce the carbon emissions of the power plants. On a small scale, many people are now interested in producing their own fuel pellets from home or as a small business, and want to know how to make wood pellets from sawdust. Many other different wood and biomass materials can be compressed into fuel pellets. Please see the video below for an example of the fuel pellets that can be made and burnt for heat. At PelHeat, we educate our website visitors on how to make and burn pellets. Most visitors are interested in compressing sawdust into pellets. To be able to make pellets from sawdust you must first understand that moisture is key. For a pellet mill to be able to compress the sawdust into a solid pellet form it must have a fairly low moisture content of around 15%. If the sawdust contains more moisture than this drying is required, not optional. One crucial factor to making wood pellets from sawdust is purchasing the right pellet mill. Too many of our website visitors have ran into issues after they purchased a pellet mill from eBay or another online re-seller and they cannot make wood pellets. The simple reason for this is many of the pellet mills sold are not wood pellet mills, they are animal feed pellet mills, which are not suitable for wood pellets as they lack the power. We focus on quality for our pellet machines, which are all manufactured here in the UK. We make all our dies in house, and drill the holes to suit the material been processed.
