What kind of pellets can I make with my pellet mill?

 So now that you have your pellet mill or pellet press, what kind of pellets can your new pellet mill make?
 The pellets you make depend on the machine you have. There are different  flat die pellet mills and ring die pellet mills. We will focus on the flat die as this is the most common, least investment and easiest to use at home or small business.

If you have a mill with rollers that turn over top of a stationary die, you most likely have a wood pellet mill. You can get this in a diesel pellet mill, electric pellet mill and even a PTO pellet mill for your tractor.This should be geared lower(approx. 100-150 RPM). With the wood pellet press, you can make pretty much all materials that you would want to pelletize into pellets. This would include sawdust, wood chips(1/4" or less is best), cardboard, newspaper, leaves, grass, soy  plant, corn stalk, switch grass, hay, alfalfa, manure and so much more. It makes harder materials such as wood chips or saw dust into pellets much quicker and less effort than a feed mill. It will of course make soft and feed material into pellets easily as well. Because it is geared lower than the feed pellet mill, it will be a little lower of an output for feed material. If you want to be able to process wood or all kinds of materials, this is the best choice.

If you have a pellet mill with stationary rollers and a die that turns underneath the rollers, you most likely have a feed pellet mill. You can get this type in diesel, electric or PTO. There is also a gas powered pellet mill. This is only available in a small pellet mill. This type of pellet press is usually geared high and turns at a much faster pace(up to 400 RPM). This is great for soft and feed material. It gets softer and feed material done quickly because it is geared high. It will most likely process wood material but at a much slower rate than the wood pellet mill.

If you would like more details on this, call a pellet mill dealer and ask for the facts before you buy one. Try to find one that does this full time and has regular business hours. When you need help or just have a question, you want to be able to call and get an answer. A good source is  www.GardenHeat.com or call them (484-661-1914).

How to make wood pellets pellet mill machine

Wood Pellet Mill

If your new to the whole pellet making idea,finding the correct pellet mill can be very confusing. A lot more people are turning to pellet stoves to ease or eliminate the huge heating bills. Making wood pellets for your pellet stove is a great way to do this. If you look around,chances are you can get your material for FREE. I really like free heat! Some places to go are saw mills, cabinet shops, school wood shop, municipality, tree trimmers and the list goes on.

There are two different flat die pellet mills. One is the regular mill that is die driven(die turns) and roller stationary. This one was originally made to make feed pellets out of soft material. It is geared higher and runs faster than the wood mills. It makes soft material faster and wood material slower. The other pellet mill is roller driven(roller turns) and die stationary. This is the new design.

So, which pellet mill should you get to make wood pellets? A roller driven pellet mill works much better for wood pellets. In a roller driven machine,the rollers turn and the die is in a fixed position. This is geared lower and makes wood material much faster and soft material slower because it runs slower. A great diesel pellet mill is the GH model from GardenHeat.com. It comes in the GH200, GH250, GH300 and GH350. This is a rugged diesel wood pellet mill thats not picky about what you put into it. The rollers turn and the die is fixed. It is geared lower to make wood pellets out of sawdust, wood chips, shavings, etc., but will make all of your other materials such as hay, straw, grasses, corn stalk,etc. The rollers and bearings are heavy duty and outlast other pellet mills by up to 4 times.

If you need a larger machine and more power, take a look at the D360 and D400. These are the only two D models that are roller driven and die fixed. They are both powered by a diesel 55HP and have 3 rollers!                                                                                                                                                    

 

If you would like an electric wood pellet mill made to make wood pellets, the WD model is the one to have. This is roller driven and die fixed. It's geared lower to use wood material,but will easily do your other materials. It uses a 208-230V 60HZ electric motor.
