Overall System of Wood Pellets Mill
For the most part, the densification of the pellet itself is only a part of an overall system of wood pellets mill, necessary to achieve the finished product.
Generally, except the wood pellets machine, there is a requirement for grinding, screening, storage bins, special feeding devices and sometimes even drying equipment. Many of the wood waste materials have unique properties, which necessitate special equipment, and usually result in lower equipment capacities than "normal" densified materials. Because they are often waste materials, the wood wastes used to make wood pellets by pellets mill frequently contain tramp materials such as metal, stones, glass, etc. Additional processing steps must be included to remove this tramp material prior to pelleting or densification.
The actual pelleting process occurs aider the wood waste that has been through all the preparation steps required to bring the wood waste to a consistent composition and moisture.
