The machines that can process grass are named grass pellet mill. Compared with wood fuel pellet mill, grass pellet mill has many different features. The operating speed of grass pellet mill is higher than wood pellet mill since grass has a lower density than wood and easier to process. So when pelleting grass, higher productivity can be achieved by picks up operating speed and this can also reduce the cost of grass pellet production.

Grass Pellet Mill With Flat Die or Ring Die?

Generally speaking, most grass pellet mills adopt flat die design. Flat die pellet mill is based on a vertical design. The raw material is feed from the hopper on the top of the machine, and the enter mill process can make good use of gravity, but this is not the true for ring die style. A feed system which will cost a lot of money is required for a ring die pellet mill. In conclusion, Since grass has a low density and easy to compress, low cost grass pellet mill with flat die can definitely compress all grass materials and it should be your first choice.

Grass fuel pellets are very different from wood fuel pellets. Before using grass pellet mill for your pellet boiler or stove, it is necessary for you to be clear about the characteristics of grass pellets.
