How to Pick The Right Wood Pellet Press

Insure That You Don't Buy The Wrong Wood Pellet Press

There are lots of pellet press buyers who presume that the wood pellet press offered by different suppliers online is all one. This point is definitely wrong! However, many pellet press dealers trade on this presumption to sell very cheap wood pellet presses in order to get more profits. Then what's the difference between good pellet press and poor pellet press? How to tell which one is the wrong pellet press for wood? In fact, it depends on the raw materials you choose and the purpose of the pellets you plan to use for.

Let's explain this case of an example: you want to make wood pellets for heating purpose. Making wood pellets is largely different from making other biomass pellets and many pellet presses are not designed for producing wood pellets.

More heat and compression is needed during the processing of wood pellets. So wood pellet press must generate sufficient power to produce density wood pellets. Although there are some specific use of wood pellets such as horse bedding, the main application is fossil fuel alternative. The high density of wood pellets make them better for burning with high fuel value and very low energy consumption.

The ordinary way to tell the quality of a wood pellet press is checking the pellets it produced. But what is good wood pellet then? The poor wood pellets may look alike with good wood pellets which means they may also have surface shine and good shape.

The key point is how do they perform under horizontal pressure. The pellets produced by poor wood pellet press is weak and breakable. A fuel pellet of high value is strong and not easy to crack. Even if it is forced to snap, the cross section will be kind of smooth without fragments. So you can ask for videos of pellet press or do some research on YouTube for reference.

Then what is the features of wrong pellet press?

Firstly, you need to know that during the pellet making precess, a higher rotating speed of pellet die is good for animal feed pellets but bad for wood pellets. When pressing wood pellets at a high speed die rotating, the strong strain will easily stall the motor. Secondly, pay attention to the condition and depth of the pellet press dies. The compression will be insufficient if the holes are too short. Moreover, if the holes are too rough, the dies will be easily blocked. There are many people face with blocking dies on wood pellet press as a result of purchasing the wrong pellet press machine.
