Moisture control becomes a crucial aspect of the production line as numerous products can becomes affected quickly, creating waste, downtime and other issues that stop the efficiency of the facility. ”From a distance, pellet production is a fairly simple process: we feed biomass into a pellet mill die chamber and the rolls work to press out a beautiful pellet with a high quality sheen right? Not so fast, there are several metrics that must be considered when it comes to making a quality pellet day in and day out. Something to know about pellet mills is that they are only as efficient as the consistency of the material that is being inputted. There are several factors that must be considered such as: the wood species, the die specifications, the grind size, the geometry of the grind, the conveyance, binder requirements and so on. However, one metric that is often overlooked or rather I should say undervalued is the moisture rate of the biomass. Sure, we know that already you say, however time and time again I have seen this area neglected in biomass pelletizing systems due to a lack of knowledge about its importance. I have found that changing the moisture…
