wood pellets and wood pellet mill

The advantages of wood pellets

Wood pellet is a general name for many types of pellet made by plants. Pellets made from crop stalks, sawdust and wood branches can all be called as wood pellets.

Wood pellets can be used as fuels for pellet stoves or house hearth, certain types of wood pellets can also be used as animal feeds. Compared with the same weight of charcoal and wood, wood pellets have a higher combustion value and a lower water content, which allows them to emit more heat and less smoke than the two other fuels when burned.


And because most wood pellets are made from waste plant and produce few harmful gases, they are also know as a kind of green energy and a perfect alternative to fossil fuels.

How are wood pellets been made

Whether you want to make pellets from wood chips, crop stalks, or branches, the wood pellet mill is always the best solution.

Wood pellet mills can be divided into two departments, one is small scale pellet mills that are commonly used in farms and houses, the other is large scale pellet machines that are often adopted in the pellet producing lines in factories.

The standard pellet producing process requires many steps, but I will try to introduce it in a brief way. The raw materials should be first crushed into dust of proper sizes by a hammer mill before introduced to the pellet mill, and the roller of the pellet mill will press the crushed dust into holes on the pellet die and form them to pellets. After cooling and sieving, we will have quality pellets waiting to be packed and stored.
Our wood pellet mill adopts two grade transmission belt, gear and worm, which ensures its smooth operation and low noise level.

How to choose wood pellet mills

If you only want to make some pellets for self use, a small scale wood pellet mill will be just enough. The pellet machines for home use can assemble different types of engines, including electric engines, diesel engines and gasoline engines. We also provide PTO(power take off) pellet mills which can be connected to tractors or other power sources to work. How can we know which model to choose when there are so many options before us? Don’t worry, it is not so difficult to learn which kind of pellet mill is the most proper one for yourself once you have had a clear view of their suitable working circumstances. Electric pellet mills require electric power to work, so when the electricity is easy to access, these pellet mills would provide a high efficiency in producing pellets. But if you need a pellet mill that can work in the farm fields or some places where electricity is hard to find, you should look to the other types of pellet mills. And of course, there are different models in each type which provide different capacities, make a preliminary estimate of your pellets consumption and your material output rate can help you make a proper choice.
