Biomass pellets fuel energy refers to the cylinder sticks with 6-12mm diameter made by pellet mill from various kinds of biomasses. As a world leading pellet mill manufacturer, GEMCO has developed biomass pellet mills for saw dust, wood shaving, wood chips, alfalfa, straw, peanut shell, bagasse, bamboo, grass, rice husk, waste paper, etc. that can make best pellets fuel.

Biomass pellets fuel can be used in power plants, residential heating, central heating for school, hotel, hospital, etc. It is now very profitable to make fuel pellets.

Various Biomass Pellet Mills Show

Small Biomass Pellet Mill

Small biomass pellet mill is flat die pellet mill that has small capacity of 50-400kg/h. It is often used at home or for small pellet plants because of its compact size and low price. If used together with a pellet stove, you are able to heat your house with your own cheap pellet fuel!

Large Biomass Pellet Mill(Complete Pellet Mill)

Large biomass pellet mill refers to ring die pellet mill. It is the core part in complete pellet mill plant because of its large capacity: 500-2000kg/h. By connecting several sets of large biomass pellet mills, the whole pellet plant can produce as high as 20ton/h.

How to use different raw materials to make pellets?

Biomass pellets are made from various raw materials like saw dust, wood shaving, wood chips, alfalfa, straw, peanut shell, bagasse, bamboo, grass, rice husk, waste paper, etc.

When the raw material biomass is fed into the pellet mill, it goes down between the pellet mill roller and die. By the pressing of rotating roller or rotating die, raw material biomass is extruded though the round die holes, and tight pellets are produced with high density, uniform length and smooth surface.

Raw material size
Most biomass raw materials (exclude sawdust) that are larger than 5mm in diameter need to be crushed before pelletizing. For example, the crusher or hammer mill can make the long and large wood chips into diameter 3-5mm wood powder, which is the best size for pellet making.
Moisture content
The moisture content is a very important factor that influences pellet quality. The best moisture content is 12%-18% for pelletizing. So if the raw material biomass contains too much moisture, a dryer is needed to decrease its moisture content. Otherwise the biomass will block pellet die holes and cause low forming rate.
Purity
Some raw materials are pure, but others like sawdust may contain metal scraps or stones. If such impurities enter the pellet mill, they will no doubt cause damage to pellet mill roller and die, which in consequence increase production cost. So the unpurified biomass should be sieved before pelletizing.

Why GEMCO's biomass pellet mills so popular all over the world?

Fuel	Price per unit	Appliance Efficiency	Cost per million BTU
Hardwood (air dried)	$200 per tonne	63%	$15.87
Wood pellets	$245 per cord	78%	$19.15
Natural gas	$1.23 per therm	78%	$15.38
Fuel oil #2	$4.6 per gallon	78%	$37.72
LP Gas / Propane	$2.48 per gallon	78%	$34.81
Electricity	12 cents per kWh	100%	$35.17
Coal	$250 per ton	75%	$10.89

The data is updated on February 2014 From the above comparison, we can come see that coal is the cheapest fuel, but it harm the environment; natural gas costs cheaper that wood pellets, but it is non-renewable resource and some places do not have natural gas; hardwood is also cheaper, but is burning efficiency is low and it does take much room to store because of its low density. So biomass wood pellets are the most cost-effective fuel source.
