Great for making animal feed and plant fertilizer pellets
Good side hustle
The product that was made by this machine is amazing.
im not too technical, does the pressure in the machine make if from the shavings to the pressed finish product? and is it just wood being used, no glue? sorry nubi here
The sawdust must be ground because it contains large pieces of chips. The pelletizing machine makes the sawdust pass through a die and heat is produced due to the friction. The sawdust contains a kind of resin and thanks to the heat, pellets are formed. In order for the pellets to bond well, the sawdust must have a humidity between 16 and 20 percent.
do you have a cost of what the machine was to build thanks
You can get the correct moisture content of the sawdust by inserting the moisture meter into the compressed sawdust.
Amazing. After adding water what is the instrument you use? Is that to measure moisture? What moisture is needed ?
That instrument is for measure moisture. Moisture is between 16% and 20 %
Thanks. And what is the 1st machine ? Is that to grin the wood chips into dust ?
It looks so simple but you have the knowledge.
@josephgil3843 It is a hammer mill. I use it to grind wood chips, grass, straw, corn and make biomass pellets.

What is an alternative for that? Can I just use a mesh wire with 1/8 inch holes to filter my sawdust? Don't worry my sawdust is finer than the ones you've shown in the video. So I wonder if it will also work...
awesome machine
Did you build your machine or did you buy it ? I'm thinking of doing this because I have a lot of biomass on my property. Not suitable for a wood stove but would be great for a pellet stove. Thanks!
The machine for making pellets is built by me. During this project I made several changes. I say it works quite well. It is excellent for producing biomass pellets. The wood is quite expensive and I said it would be good to build some machinery for biomass processing.
So you only want to show us how your machine works and produces pellets..but you don't want to show us how to make this pelletizer.. What a waste time watching this video..

Hi, looks great man. what dimensions do the pellets have?
Thanks. Pellets are 8 mm thickness and 1.5cm long
Interesting, would the electricity used to produce the pellets heat up the house more than the pellets that were made? 🤔
If electricity were more efficient, then no one would bother to make pellets. The electrical energy consumed in one hour produces around 100 - 150 kg of pellets, a pellet burner consumes around 4 kg of pellets per hour.
@@DorelBorlea Very nice! 😎
Have you added water??
Yes.
C’est bien dû copeaux la??
@@kingmarou1723 Pour éviter d'endommager les rouleaux et le moule, la sciure doit être broyée.
Lots of energy and time input for what looks like low production volume output. Is this really worth it?
I think so.
You can use this machine to make chicken pellets feeds
This machine can be used for the production of feed for chickens. The mold with 8 mm holes must be replaced with one with 4 mm holes.
@@DorelBorleaWhy is it that smaller holes is required for making feeds for chicken?
what can we do in thats pellet?
I do not understand your queation.
I wonder if you had some advice for me. I have a lot of grass and weed cuttings from last year that have now composted down during the winter. Can I use this for making pellets for my pellet machine? I realise that I would have to dry them and perhaps put them through a mulching machine to break them down, but would they still make good pellets? I hope that you don't mind me asking, thank you.
You can make pellets from any material. To make pellets, the material must be ground and the humidity must be between 16 and 20%. Now it depends on what you want to use those pellets for.
@@DorelBorlea thank you for responding. I want to use the pellets in my pellet burner for central heating. I will spread the material out in the sunlight and let it dry, then put it through a mulching machine to make the mixture finer. I appreciate your help. 🖖
what kind of pellet burner do you have at the boiler?
@@DorelBorlea I have a new Burnit Sunsystem pellet burner that I have yet to install this week. It’s for central heating in the house. 😀
Unfortunately, these burners do not work with pellets from vegetable waste. You need a special burner for agricultural pellets.
How you made the machine?

@@DorelBorlea Thanks for the link. Nice channel. You think it would be possible to use hemp to make pelletized fuel?
I do not know what to say. If you can grind hemp stalks then you can make pellets. You must take into account that these are agro pellets and to be used for fire, a more special burner is required, the burner must have an ash cleaning mechanism.
@@DorelBorlea Thanks for the reply.
What diameter die holes?
8 mm
@DorelBorlea that's what I just ordered for mine, 8mm I think I have too small a mm now.
@@DorelBorlea thank you for responding
@@postman12100 I want to buy a die with 6 mm holes. I'm curious to see if it will work better.
Do you know how can I export my production ?
If your going to make a video try to explain what is going on
“You’re”
I don't speak English that well. So I chose to make the videos without explanations. But from the title of the video you should realize that I want to make pellets from sawdust.
A video of making Biomass wood pellets, he selected his Pine sawdust, at a required humidity acceptance, if too dry, he spark a little water, then he grind it at 2 to 5mm in size, afterwards he passed it in the pellets mills.
In the wheelbarrow are wood pellets final product.

@@DorelBorleadon't worry dude, I got you covered
Bel gedes
a little info goes along way. Nothing in captions or a narrative one the process or cost vs time/methods. Not very good video.
Agreed....he gave absolutely no info whatsoever. In fact the whole damned thing is pointless. So he made some wood pellets but what for....cat litter, biomass fuel...?
@@Biffo1262Hello. I built this pellet machine to make pellets from vegetable waste. I did a test to see if I can make pellets from sawdust. The pellets are used as fuel for the fire.
No talk no diy machine. What’s the point?
I think the title should be changed. "homemade pellet machine - how to make pellets from sawdust"
