Dry the Size-Reduced Material for Biomass Pellet Maker

The moisture content of the biomass pellets will straightly affect the pellet quality on the burning efficiency and the clean burning (zero smoke).

According to our years of study and consultation experiences on biomass pellet maker, the general requirement to moisture content of wood & biomass materials is from 10% to 15%. And by choosing and controlling on right moisture content, you can cut down your cost on energy consumption.

In this section, a rotary drum dryer is a good option.

To produce quality biomass pellets by your pellet maker, the moisture percentage of the raw material will be between 10-20%. Most materials produce the highest quality pellets with a moisture percentage around 15%, however the percentage to produce quality pellets is specific to each raw material. If the raw material has a moisture percentage above 15-20% it must be dried or mixed with a dryer material.
