Pellets from wood chip

[benedmonds]

Has there been any progress in this. There was chat 4 or 5 years ago, with forum members designing or doing it. Are there any smallish scale processes out there that will work with arb waste.

[skyhuck]

I can't see this every becoming affordable for small scale operators.

 

The forces required are just to great.

There is a chip pellet mill you can buy from Eastern Europe. Know a guy who's been running one 6 years with no faults.

Smallpelletmill.com you can change attatchments as to what you want to process

You can have my pellet mill for 20k. At £250 per tonne it was worth doing pellets now down to £140 per tonne its not worth it.

Tonnes per hour what a joke I would be happy if it produced 50kg per hour.

SPM machines have a good reputation although likely to be past sell by date if on the bay. Remember you will need a power station to drive a 55kw motor and the comment of soft start suggests problems with local grid. Would also be wary on any machine pelleting rape as wear is greater than normal.

 

Second machine is chinese junk I have one if you want to play and find out how difficult it is to make consistent pellets although mine is 3 phase not pto.
