Preparation Before Operating Straw Pellet Machine

Before make pellets with your pellet machine, you shoud check the moisture of raw material
The moisture content of the raw material (straw included) plays an integral role in how the material performs in the straw pellet making machine. Too little or too much moisture and quality pellets cannot form, it’s also important to keep the level of moisture within the finished pellet as low as possible, so the pellets burn efficiently. Moisture is required to produce pressure, and therefore, heat the two essentials of pellet production.
Straw pellet machines require moisture content of raw material somewhere between 10-20% moisture content required is specific to that raw material.
Moisture content required is specific because of the differences in natural lignin and pressure requirements.
During the production process of pelletizer equipments moisture is lost as steam, if the finished pellets are dense, smooth and shiny they should have moisture content at 10% or below.
