Start to Make Your Own Pellets
Pellets are burned in pellet stoves for heating house, in pellet boilers for heating hot water (pool heaters) and even for generating electricity. The small flat die wood pellet mills we provide are ecological and economical solution for people who use pellets for heating and power. There are many advantages to make your own pellets. You can use scrap biomass materials that you have around your home to make your own pellets. Save money and have a ready supply of pellets by using wood scraps, leaves, grass clippings and yard waste. This is a great way to use up organic waste you might otherwise throw away. You will love keeping your house toasty warm all winter for free!
Advantages of pellet machines
1. Driven by electric motor, diesel engine or gasoline engine, more convenient and environment friendly.
2. Flexible and movable pellet machine design; widely used in small wood pellet plant or home fuel pellets making.
3. Capacity ranges from 40KG/H to 550KG/H, various models for choice
4. Equipped with gearbox which can control the material feeding speed and ensure wood pellet quality, at the same time prolonging pellet machine life.
5. All our pellet machines meet European standard -CE certified; the small wood pellet machine design is of closed house to cover motor.
6. Suitable for all kinds of biomass materials to make pellets.
Complete Pellet production line process:
(a) Peeling Process
Wood debarker machine is applicable to peel the log of MDF board and papermaking industry, it is mainly used to peel log, small wood and so on, the peeled rate is more than 95 percent.
(b)Chipping Process
In the pellet plant before raw materials are made into biomass pellets, they are
first reduced into much smaller, uniformly-sized particles. When the thicknedd is larger than 10mm or the size is greater than 50*50mm, a chippper is needed to chip these materials into smaller pieces.
(c)Grinding Process
The hammer mill is used to further crush these small pieces into particles of less than 3mm in diameter.
(d)Drying Process
After raw materials are crushed a dryer is needed since most raw wood materials have a moisture content of about 50%. However, the optimal moisture content for pelletiztion is 13%-15%. Therefore a rotary dryer is included in the pellet plant to reduce the
moisture content. After crushing and drying you can begin making wood pellets.
(e)Pelletizing Process
After crushing and drying the raw material properly it is then ready for the pellet mill. The pelletizing machine or press is the key piece of machinery in the pellet plant.
It should be mentioned that impurities in the raw materials like metal or stone,may damage the die and rollers of pellet making machine.
(f)Cooling Process
Usually after pelletizing, the temperature of pellets is between 60-80 degrees and the moisture content is close to 15%. For storage purpose, a cooler must be used to reduce their surface temperature and moisture content.
(g)Packing Process
Finally is the packing process. In order to protect the wood pellets becoming getting
damp and to increase storability, proper packing is necessary.
