Conditioning Process of Pellet Production Plant

Before using the pellet production plant, it is necessary to do some conditionings.

By adding dry steam into the mixed material can heat and soften lignin, which helps the mixed material to be compressed into final pellets much easily, and maintains consistent quality of the mixed material which ensures the consistent quality of pellets. Its final purpose is to increase the production capacity of pellet production plant.

Please note: steam conditioning process is ONLY used in some LARGE pellet production equipments or pellet production plants, if your pellet maker is a small production plant, this process is not necessary, you can skip this section.

To produce quality pellets the raw material has to posses certain qualities, a pellet plant is similar to a mathematical equation, and the pellets that come out are only as good as the raw material that went in. Another accurate comparison is cooking, a cake is only as good as its ingredients and preparation, and the cooker can only bake the cake. Pellet production equipment is basically a cooker, applying heat and pressure to the material.

Once the material has been mixed to give a good consistency, the raw material may require other ingredients to produce pellets. Other additives can increase the productivity of pellet production plants. To understand the conditioning process, you must first understand what qualities the material needs to produce a pellet.
