Wood pellet machine, also known as wood pellet press, wood pellet mill, it is popular in the world. With the development of biomass energy, there are several different production technologies to convert the biomass into heat and electricity. The wood pellet machine is the typical machine to do that. Wood pellet machine turns the raw materials into the high-efficient biomass fuel. What’s more, the conversion of raw material into more energy-dense forms facilitates transport, storage and use through the rest of the value chain. The future of the biomass is on continuous developing. The biomass fuel would like to replace the traditional fuel gradually. Besides, the wood pellet machine also provides chance to start business. So the wood pellet machine is more and more crucial for our life and industry.

What is wood pellet machine

Wood pellet machine is a kind of pellet machine for processing the raw materials like sawdust, wood, peanut shell, straw, leaves and so on. Nowadays, there are various different types of pellet mill in the market. And the typical two types are flat die pellet mills and ring die pellet mills. The wood pellet mill can process many raw materials whatever the size is big or not, and the pellet size also can be customized by the hammer mill. 

For the different applications, there are homemade pellet mill and complete pellet plant to choose. The homemade pellet mill also called small pellet mill, but it is easy to handle and can meet the requirements of home use. While, the complete plant is usually used in the factory.

 Pellet feed is a form of feed that most  breeders attach importance to and uses, which has the advantages of  transportation and carrying convenience, long preservation time, high  nutritional value, good palsy, reducing the incidence of illness in  poultry and livestock, and helping animal digest well. 

The finished feed pellets have smooth  surface and are easy for animals to digest. Therefore, feed pellet  machine is widely used by livestock farms, poultry farms, feed  processing industry and aquaculture industry. The final product is a  feed pellet with high palatability, digestibility and nutrition that can  be packaged. Pellet feed customization is also possible. Because animal  feed contains a large amount of fiber, it is recommended to tone the  pellets by providing either direct or indirect moisture to soften them. 

 The Animal Feed Pellet Making Machine is  used for converting feed ingredients that are in mash form into dry  pellets resulting in strong, smooth pellets that are good for feeding  livestock. Thus, it turns mash feeds into pellets without  adding water,  producing various sizes of pellets – 2mm ，4mm ， 6mm and 8mm. The size  of the particles you choose to produce depends on the kind, age and size  of the animal. 

The Ring die Pellet Mills have a stationary roller and a rotating  die. When the raw materials flow into the die cavity, the rollers press  the materials or conditioned feed through the holes in the cylindrical  ring type die. Stationary knives mounted onto the pellet chamber break  off the finished dense pellets to the proper length.

Benefits of Ring die Pellet Mill:

• Suited for large-capacity pellet production
• Energy-efficient compared to Flat Die Pellet Mills
• Less wear and tear

 Ring die pellet mill adopts mature technology to produce high-quality  animal feed pellets for cattle,cows,horses,chickens, and ducks on a  large scale. The ring die feed pellet machine has become more and more  popular on the market for its outstanding characteristics of high  output, low consumption and mature technology,and has a broad market  share in the industry. It is ideal equipment for raising livestock and  poultry such as feed pellet plant, livestock ranches, poultry  farms,medium and large feed processing industries. \

• Larger Output: The production capacity of ring die pellet mill is relatively large and is more suitable for industrial pellet production
• Superior Pelletizing Capability: It can process very wide range of biomass materials, especially the hard wood materials, like palm fiber.
• Higher Quality Pellets: The pellets made by ring die pelletizing machine have larger density and is much smoother surface due to its higher pressure.

It can be seen that the ring die pellet machine has better advantages  in the production of biomass pellets; if you have higher requirements  for the compression ratio and appearance of the pelletized products, and  you also need equipment with higher production efficiency and output,  it is recommended that you choose the ring die pellet machine. If you  only need a small single pellet machine to develop a smaller-scale  production business, you can choose the flat die pellet machine, which may be more suitable for you.
