Pelletizer

Overview

Pelletizer

The Pelletizer creates fuel pellets out of biomass.

Details

Biomass can be pellitized by first passing it through a Hammer Mill for uniformity, then feeding it to a press that has holes of uniform size. In this process, there is a marked increase in temperature, causing the lignin to plastify.

The pellets can be burned efficiently for energy.
