How to Make Wood Pellets

By Aiden Normski

Due to the recession, the world has become uncertain and with this people are looking for ways to make there money last longer. Pellet stoves are a great way to do this as they are very good and cheap to run. Now more and more people are moving in this direction and with this have become a shortage of readily available pellet fuel.

People however have began to look at making there own pellet fuels and one way to do this is too have a small mobile wood pellet making machine, which we can operate and keep our stove running all year round.

You will be surprised but not only wood can be made in these machines but raw materials like wood waste, straw, grasses and energy crops like corn to name a few, which are known as biomass pellet fuel.

Biomas pellets is a skilled process and requires some level of skill and understanding of the equipment used. This is where PelHeat as created an eBook to explain all this and more so you will have a good understanding of the process involved. The step by step guide to making wood pellets is explained in 10 easy to understand sections. The process from the beginning as a raw material followed by material size reduction, drying, mixing, conditioning, mill, sieving, cooling, bagging and storage.

Here's a brief breakdown of what's inside the guide:

The Future Potential of Biomass Pellet Fuel

In the guide they will explain the production process. How in a pellet mill, heat and pressure are used to re-form the biomass into pellets. The guide will also explain how different percentages in moisture content and natural lignin affect quality and productivity.

Production Process and the Principles Involved

In the Wood Pellet Making Guide they will explain the process of production, explaining the heat and pressure is used to create the biomass pellets. Also the moisture content and natural lignin will affect the quality and productivity.

Machinery and Equipment

The Wood Pellet Maker guide will explain that different equipment is used depending on the size and scale and type of biomass material used.

Ring Die Pellet Mill and Flat Die Mill

Each of the above mills has their own advantages and disadvantages which will be clearly explained in the guide. These mills will also have their own speeds, metals and again depends on the raw materials that will be used.

Types of Mill Lubricants and Binders

Some raw materials require binders and lubricants for the mill to improve quality and pellet mill productivity.
