1.

Selection the suitable Raw Material: Different material has different characteristic, surely their pellet features will be different. Before you establish you pellet plant, you shall make it clear that the heat valve, ash and nitrogen content etc of your pellets. The Ingredients are like tree branch, saw dust, bamboo, wheat straw, Nut shell, sun flow stem, palm kernel shell and etc.

2. Milling and Grinding:


The material is ground to a size not larger than the diameter of the pellets, but usually around 3 mm. However, a high percentage of very fine dust might lead to problems in the pellet production process because of the absence of longer particle to bind the pellets. Usually hammer mills are used for grinding. 3. Drying and Binding: Then the grinded raw material are Dried passing hot air which make the the raw material containg less moisture contain or perfectly Dry. After drying material binding agent is mixed with material in order to bind the wood and other particles together. 4. Pellet Mill: Pellet mill are basically Two Types:1. The Flat Die Pellet Mill: The image to the right depicts the basic design and process of the flat die pellet mill. A solid metal plate sits below a series of compression rollers. Material enters from above and falls between the rollers, which is then compressed through the die. The finished pellets then emerge from the base of the die and leave the pellet mill. This design of pellet mill is predominantly used for the smallscale production of animal feed, mostly in China. These same pellet mills are often promoted as wood pellet mills by many online re-sellers.

2. The Roller Die Pellet Mill: The image to the right depicts the basic design and operation of the ring die pellet mill. Unlike the flat die pellet mill design the ring die is positioned vertically instead of horizontally. The raw material enters the centre of the die and is compressed through the die with a series of compression rollers. Most ring die pellet mills have two compression rollers; however some ring die pellet mills have three maybe four compression rollers. The most common design of ring die pellet mill is where the die is powered and rotating, and the rollers move due to the friction and movement of the die. Depending on your raw material one design maybe more suitable than the other. More information on the specific positives and negatives of pellet mill designs is included in the full Preheat guide.

5. Colling:
After the pressing stage, the pellets have to cool down from around 90C to a temperature of about 25C where the mechanical stability of the pellets is much higher than in the hot condition. 6. Inspection: The pellets must be separated from the raw material dust which is then led back into the pellet production process. After screening, the pellets are conveyed to a storage space or backed into large or small bags.
