Step One – Reduce The Particle Size With Home Hammer Mill

Before start your home pellet mill, you need a size reduction machine to reduce the raw material into small particles. The exact size depends on the raw material and the diameter of you pellet mill die. You can do some small-scale experiment to get the right answer. And then you should choose which machine to use for the reduction. Here are your options, hammer mill, wood chipper and crusher machine. Most of us pick up hammer mill with suitable screen size as the common selection. But the truth is that not all materials are available for hammer mill from the start. Make sure the particle size of your material is no more than an inch when choosing hammer mill for the reduction. That is to say if you get chopped grass, chopped straw or wood chips, you can put them into hammer mill directly. But if you take logs as the raw material, you should chip the logs to around one inch particles firstly. Then you can process the chips through your home hammer mill. To deal with grasses and straws in volume, you are suggested to process through a bale shredder or chopper before feed the hammer mill. The last but most importantly, hammer mill cannot deal with the materials which have a very high moisture content, because the screen will get blocked.

  • Step Two – Dry The Material
  • Logs always have high moisture content and need to be dried to a certain percentage before feed into home pellet mill. For home pellets making, dryer machine is really not necessary. If you run a small workshop, it is also not wisdom to waste your money during this process. We recommend you to dry it in a natural way. Both the wind and sunshine can help you.

  • Start Your Home Pellet Mill
  • When feeding the prepared material into your home pellet mill, remember to keep a consistent feed speed. We have done many tests on home pellets making and find that smaller particles can make pellets of higher quality in the pellet mill. However dust will cause roller and die problems when pressing. As we can see, the raw material can largely affect the pellet quality and productivity. So you better get a variety of screens for the hammer mill to test which goes best to your pellet mill.
