Wood Pellets and the Wood Pellet Mill

Wood pellets are a compressed form of wood residue predominantly used for pellet fuel, wood pellets are made in a wood pellet mill under high pressure. Wood pellets have a uniform shape, size and density and are ideal for automatic combustion systems such as pellet stoves and boilers. Fuel pellets can also be made from other biomass materials. This guide will show you how.

Wood Pellet Fuel and Biomass Pellets

At PelHeat we manufacture mobile pellet mill machines and test various biomass pellets. Below is a video of our pellet boiler burning a collection of biomass fuel pellets.

Wood Pellet Fuel and Biomass Pellets

Various wood residues and other biomass materials can be processed into fuel pellets. Please see below to view pictures of various fuel pellets made here at PelHeat.

Climate Change and Global Warming

Challenging climate change requires we move away from fossil fuel energy, to lower carbon forms of energy. Wood pellets are not only carbon neutral, they can also be carbon negative by using the ash as a fertilizer.

Carbon Neutral and Renewable Energy

Wood pellets are carbon neutral as they are part of the current carbon cycle, and new tree's absorb the carbon from burnt wood pellets. Wood pellets also are a renewable form of energy unlike fossil fuels such as oil.

Green Jobs and Economic Recovery

Wood pellets can be produced on a large scale, and even on a small local level. Green energy jobs can be created nationally and locally in collecting wood resources, processing them into pellets and pellet distribution. Stable long terms jobs can therefore be created.

Wood Pellet Mill, Pellet Press and Machine

Wood pellets and other biomass pellets are made in a wood pellet mill, also referred to as a pellet press or pellet machine. This guide will show the different machines used and their advantages and disadvantages.

How To Make Wood Pellets

Many people in the wood pellet industry refer to wood pellet production as more of an art than a science, and it is a view we also share here at PelHeat. We often compared it to cooking, as they share many similarities. To produce quality wood pellets and biomass pellets the raw material needs to have consistent qualities suitable to produce pellets. Key qualities are moisture content, density, particle size and binding qualities. This guide will show why these qualities are important, and how they effect the pellet production process on pellet quality, pellet mill energy demands and pellet mill productivity.
