Granulation Machine

A few years ago, only large scale industrial granulation machine can make wood pellets. Well the past is past, small granulation machine is created, which means making small-scale wood pellets at home or on farm is available now. Making quality wood pellets is down to the granulation machine and the raw material. So before starting your wood granulation machine, you should set your mind to material preparation. There are many different raw materials that can be used for making fuel pellets.

Wood granulation machine also named wood pellet mill, wood pellet machine or wood pellet press. Although people name it with wood, you should be understand that granulation machines for wood can also deal with many other biomass materials such as animal wastes and agriculture wastes. Actually, waste wood cannot used for making pellets directly because there is something you should do to get the raw material prepared for granulating.

Raw Material Preparation Tips

• Firstly, dry the material to a certain moisture percentage.

Virgin wood generally will have a moisture content about 40%. However the moisture content is supposed to be 10%~15%. So if it is too high, you need to dry it before feed into the granulation machine. The best and economic way is to dry it naturally with a good ventilation in sunshine. If it is too low, moisture may be added in the machine to achieve the required compression. But for most small scale pellet production, a low moisture content is not a matter.

• Then you need to reduce the particle size by using a wood crusher or hammer mill.

To make pellets with high fuel value, you crush the material and make the particle size below 6mm.

The material is now ready for the wood granulation machine!
