Wood Pellet Extruder - Moisture Content Factors

Concerning about the benefits of fuel pellets make by wood pellet exturder over logs and wood chips, one should be efficient when burning because of its low moisture content. As is everyone knows, low moisture content means high combustion efficiency, little smoke and quick ignition!

How Low Could The Moisture Content Be And Still Produce Quality Wood Pellets?

  • There is no dryers in the wood pellet plant can reduce the moisture content of the pellets down to zero and in fact there is also no one who want to do this. This reasons are listed as follows: Firstly, making pellets without any water could easily cause dust problem, fire disaster or even a dust explosion.
  • Secondly, a small contain of moisture is theoretically needed in order to control the rate of burn. In terms of wood pellet extruder, you should keep a certain moisture percent to make high quality wood pellets.

Thus, by definition, the moisture content is expected about 6%, and 6%~10% is also acceptable.

Wood Pellet Extruder - Pellet Density

The other character of quality wood pellets is high density due to the truth that soft pellets have a very poor combustion efficiency with lots of ash. So if the wood pellet extruder you bought produce pellets with low density, the potential energy could be wasted when burning. You can test the quality of a pellet extruder, you can put the pellets produced by the machine under reasonable horizontal force, and see whether the pellets break easily. A quality wood pellet is supposed to be clean with little dust when breaks. The exact value of moisture content in the pellet extruder effects both compression and temperature. In another word, the moisture percent affects pellet density and also how well the particles are bonded together. For small wood pellet extruder, the amount of moisture should be a little more, around 13~15%. For Large wood pellet extruder, keep the value around 10%. However, it will be the best if you have the conditions to do some experiment with your pellet extruder to find what percentage produces the best wood pellets.
