How can I know whether the pellets made by this pellet maker are qualified?
Without much professional knowledge of pellet making machine, how can I test the quality of a home pellet maker?
If you are puzzle with these questions, follow us, and being a professional pellet making machine manufacturer and supplier we will give you the super answer to all your doubts.
As stated quality pellets should have moisture content below 10% and be mechanically strong with a good density. The simplest way to test the quality of home pellet maker is to place a pellet in a glass of water. If the pellet sinks to the bottom the pellet has a high density, and was formed under sufficient pressure. However if the pellet floats it will be a poorer quality pellet with a lower density, lower mechanical durability and more likely to crumble and produce fines. So you can tell the quality of home pellet makers which made pellets like this are poor.
The second test is to take a vessel, which can hold at least 1 liter of water and weight it. Fill the container to the top with pellets and weigh again, now fill the container with water and weigh. Deduct the weight of the container from both measurements, and then divide the weight of the pellets by the weight water. For quality home pellet maker the results should be between 0.6 and 07.kg/liter, the figure may also be referred to as the pellets specific gravity. Specific gravity is a crucial indicator that the pellets were produced under the correct pressure. Poor quality pellets, for example with a specific gravity under 0.6 will break/crumble easily, and produces excessive fines.
