As time goes by, more and more small pellet mill manufacturers appear around the global, if you prefer purchasing such kind of equipment for pelletizing purposes, you should think twice before making decision.

Small pellet mill is designed for pressing all kinds of biomass materials into solid pellets for burning fuel or animal feeding.

The wood is first made into a dust of a consistent size by using a hammer-milling machine. The sawdust is then compressed under great pressure and forced through holes (a bit like making mince). This is a heating process that the natural lignin in the sawdust melts and binds the dust together, holding the pellet in shape and giving it that characteristic sheen on the outside. The pellets come out of the small pellet mill at around 90 degrees C, cool, and then harden off.

Pelletizing is an abrasive substance and the dies used for producing pellets have to be viewed as consumable items. The natural resins present in soft woods are easier to be operated on dies than hardwood pulp, and the high moisture content keeps the material soft, helping to prevent wear. As well as helping as a binder, vegetable oil can also help to reduce wear on the die. A source of replacement dies is a priority to keep the pellets machine running.
