Making Wood Pellets With The Right Machine

Since the growth of the wood pellet fuel market for home heating, many people realised that they had available wood resources which they could potential process into wood pellets on a small scale, and potentially on a larger scale aswell.

This is where wood pellets can actually help us to achieve some energy independence, something we cannot achieve with oil or gas, as we do not have enough of those resources to meet our demand. However, with wood pellets we can grow more wood, and particularly if we start to use faster growing wood resources and also biomass materials such as hemp. Below is a video of the many fuel pellets that can be made even on a small local scale. At PelHeat, we educate our website visitors on how to make wood pellets and other biomass pellets, and the machines used. The most important machine used is the pellet mill, however this is also known simply as a pellet machine or pellet press. There are many different designs of pellet mill and pellet machine depending on the productivity required, the level of automation required and the raw material used. On a small scale, you can get away with just a small pellet machine in the corner of your garage, however you are limited to what materials you can pellet. For instance you will only be able to process sawdust, and sawdust at a pretty much perfect moisture content. If you have more space, having a hammer mill for raw material size reduction will give you more options, however moisture content is still key. Ideally a drying solution will mean you will be able to use a very wide range of wood and biomass. To achieve a profitable business making pellets you really need an automated pellet plant. This way one person can run the whole operation. Through the link below you will see videos of our small pellet maker and our UK made small pellet plants for fuel pellets.
