With people’s growing awareness of environmental protection and energy saving, the demand of wood pellet fuel for home heating is also increasing. Because this kind of fuel can not only meet a lot of today’s concerns for renewable energy, but also environmental and energy-saving.

So it is really cool pelletizing by yourself! How to make pellet by yourself?
First of all, you need a wood pellet making machine. Then, with proper materials and right guidance, you will naturally get your own pellets right at home.

The pelletizing procedures involve 5 main processes, they are as follows:

1. Crushing
First of all, using a Wood Chipping Machine to chip raw wood materials into small pieces, then these small pieces should be crushed into wood powder by Hammer Mills if necessary.

2. Drying
Pellet mills has their own best moisture content when pelletizing, for this reason, drying the raw materials to an ideal moisture content before putting them into pellet mills is a good choice. Generally, 13-15% is the best pelletizing moisture content.

3. Pelletizing
After drying to ideal moisture content, the materials should be put into pellet mill for pelletizing. There are several pelletizing machines, such as ring die pellet mill, flat die pellet mill, small pellet mill, diesel pellet mill etc. You can choose any one of them according to your need.

4. Cooling
After pelletizing, the pellets’ temperature is about 60-80 degree and pellets’ moisture content is about 15%. In this case, the moisture content needs to be cut down by 3%-4% or 7%-8% by using a cooling machine for storage purpose.

5. Packing
If the pellet is not for burning purpose directly, bagging or packing procedure is necessary because it can protect wood pellets from affecting damp and make it easy to store.
