Home Use Wood Pellet Machine Abundant Raw Material

The Abundance of Home Use Wood Pellet Machine Raw Material

The beauty of the home use wood pellet machine is that there is an abundance of pellet machine raw material especially for pellet fuel production. That is the main reason why many people are opting for pellet fuel as a means of heating their homes. Furthermore, pellet fuel is more affordable than the gas or electricity heating options. The pelletizing process is an easy one if it is headed by someone who has done it before. However, perhaps next to the equipment needed in this business, the next most important thing is the raw material that is needed for this. The raw materials must be treated to the right condition by drying before they can be used. The drying part can be done at the home use pellet machine or at a different location and then it can be transported, ready for pelletizing to the pellet machine. In areas renowned for pellet fuel production, there are drying entities set up whose work is to dry and condition the materials to the right state before pelletizing can take place.

The most common home use wood pellet machine raw material for pellet fuel production include sawdust, rice husks, corn stalks, grass, and straw. There many more types of raw materials that you can use for pellet fuel production. However, the choice will depend on where you come from and what is readily available there. For example, in some areas in Asia, rice growing is done in large-scale and in such areas, rice straw would be the commonly used raw material. In other areas near forests, perhaps the most common raw material would be sawdust, and waste timber. All wood waste swept from the lumber and timber industry would be good for this.

The wood pellet machine raw material for the process has to be gathered in advance, and then after conditioning to the right moisture, note that the best moisture content for all raw materials should be 15%. This is the best moisture content if the pellets produced are to be of very high quality. The good thing is that wood pellets require no addition of binders because they contain lignin, which acts as a gluing compound thus making the pellets stay intact together.

Even before the drying process, there is the chippering and crushing. In chippering, if the wood materials are thicker than 10mm long and 50mm wide, they have to be resized to smaller sizes. And then comes the crushing because no material can go the feeder if they have not been crushed into powder form. After the crushing stage, that is when the treatment must be done to ensure that the moisture content of the raw material is 15%. Most wood pellet machines have a rotary dryer, which is really a combination of a stove and a dryer. This can reduce the moisture content from, say 65% to about 10%. Remember that the raw materials especially if they are wood will have high moisture content and therefore they must be dried before they can be fed into the home use wood pellet machine, where more processes will take place.

Remember that the quality of the pellets that one produces will depend on the type of pellet machine raw material used. For example, if the raw material was hard wood, then the pellets will be indeed very high quality.
