Pelletizer

Overview

The Pelletizer, also called pellet mill, creates fuel pellets out of biomass. It can make pellets from various raw materials, such as wood shavings, saw dust, crop straw, etc. There are pelletizer for small and large scale production.

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.
