Biomass Pellet Production Guide
Today fuel pellets, and particularly wood pellets are in high
demand, market growth is rapidly increasing, and demand is frequently
out growing supply. More and more people are looking into pellet
production and how pellets are produced.
At PelHeat we are manufactures of small scale pellet production
units, click our logo above to find out more. We frequently get asked
how pellets are made, what materials can be turned into pellets and
what equipment is required. Therefore we have developed a guide on the
equipment used in pellet production and the principles of the process.
The guide covers equipment used in small and large scale production.
How are Wood Pellets made?
Wood pellets are the most common type of fuel pellet. The PelHeat
guide will in detail describe how wood goes through the production
process to create hard shiny wood pellets.
What is the difference between good and bad quality pellets?
As anyone who currently uses pellets knows, there are good and bad
quality pellets. Poor quality pellets can be loose, crumbly and
produce a lot of fines, poor quality pellets do not burn efficiently.
The PelHeat guide will detail how quality pellets are made and how to
test pellet quality.
What equipment is needed to make pellets?
Pellet production is composed of several processes, the PelHeat
guide has been broken up into ten easy to understand steps, giving
details on the equipment used. As the guide goes through each step it
will detail the different variables that can be changed and how to
adjust the process for different materials.
