Raw Material Bulk Density

Ash content is only issue concerning the choice of raw material for homemade wood pellet machine. The other is bulk density. Here again wood-based raw material is more advantageous to its greater density in comparison to straw.

To produce quality pellets with your homemade wood pellet machine, there is something you should know about bulk density. The bulk density of straw and grass is low, whether chopped or baled, with weights varying between 50 to 150 kilograms per cubic meter. As a result the energy density of raw material is also low. In the case of straw-based raw material that is a substantial distance from the wood pellet machine & plant, it may be economical to compress it onsite to save on transportation costs. This is a similar technique to what is often done in the animal feed industry. Even with woody materials, it is often worthwhile to reduce the fallen trees or branches to woodchips prior to further processing at the site of pellet production. Efficiency is increased at the plant this way, and the need for storage space, as well as handling equipment, is reduced. Whereas the transportation of wood-based raw materials is relatively straightforward, tradeoffs exist in the delivery method for agricultural materials, of which there are three: Loose & chopped material, Bales and Cubes.

With a clear understanding of raw material bulk density, it will be easier for you to operate your homemade wood pellet machine and make the best fuel pellets at home! Have any questions about wood pellet machine? You are welcome to contact us!
