If you come to think about it and have everything ready, you will realize that wood pellet manufacturing process isn’t that complex especially in small scale production of the same. There are at least four procedures that we are going to focus on briefly. Generally, the wood pellet manufacturing process starts with technology. This is with the raw material in place basing in mind that the raw material was by products of other products as in the case of lumbering and carpentry. After the raw materials are in place, they will need to pass through a wood pellet maker before they can be set to the market for sale and this is where most work takes place. Let us look at drying and why it is takes position as a procedure towards wood pelletizing procedure. once you have the raw materials ready, you will need to dry them accordingly so as you can lower moisture content inside especially in feed stock it has been substantiated that the low moisture content is in fact the reason why wood burns properly and efficiently.
The next procedure will be processing the raw material, let us look at it this way, you are just about to make your pellets, but really what is needed? Place the materials into the hammer mill where wood particles will be made. These particles are highly compressed as a way to rid off any moisture that may have been left out during the drying process. When they have been further compressed, the heating value is also enhanced making them valuable than if they were common wood for burning. Environmental hazards are also gotten rid of making the end product environmentally friendly and easy to store.The last procedure involves formation of the pellets, in other words, how does this work?
During the compression process, the matter is forced through tiny holes through the die of the pellet machine. Once through, there is a special cutter where they are cut into the pellet like shapes and thus making them ready for packaging however it is recommended that you leave them to dry before packing them for future use. If you decide to let them dry, you will be ridding off any moisture within making them even better.
