Right on guys! I am looking for a alternative way for getting my pellets to heat my home instead of buying them at retail price. Besides I live in the woods in southern Missouri where I know of two pellet factories are located, all hard wood, oak. Like the concept of music to your video instead of just talking, cool😊!
I live close to one of those pellet factories in SEMO, near Hunter Mo. I have two pellet stoves plus a pellet smoker and am looking at making my own pellets. The price of pellets keeps going up every year and it won't be cost effective if the price goes up much more. Where abouts are you located?
@@halfstep67 Out by Springfield. I talked to one guy on the phone that runs one factory and he wasn't to keen on giving me a deal, only about 250 a ton in a couple months. He said he was behind on filling up 18 wheelers because he said another factory south of us a ways had a fire so they were going to take 6 months to be back up and going. I was just going to take a IBC tote with the top cut out of it and have him fill it up and then get some 5 gallon buckets with lids and dip em out of there to store. He said MFA was going to have a sale in March for 240 a ton. I found a machine that a home owner can order to make em but it was around 2500. Way more than me or most can afford!
What I want to know is how many pounds of hay was crushed up and how many pounds of the hay is in each bucket and how much is the pelletized weight of the final bucket?
That is a mixture of alfalfa hey, corn and sorghum. For enhanced assistance, please feel free to contact me at (786)2168098 or email me at info@usapelletmill.com
I am no expert. It all depends on the mill. The manufacturer recommends, for consistent results, using dry biomass (Such as sawdust) the size of sawdust.
maybe run a tube out of the hopper just into where the sawdust feeds above the level of the dust, kind of like a what college kids would call a beer bong... when they put a drinking straw into a bottle of beer and then put their lips around the glass and the side of the straw... keeps it from air locking up and pushes all the liquid out the opening of the bottle.
Your getting a lot of dust with your pellets. I own a sawmill and I mill all hardwood. I’d like to had a pellet machine but I’m not sure about this one. It seems slow and the pellets seem small and dusty.
I am planning opening up pellet business and I was wondering if Its possible ask some questions about it ( with high chance of asking stupid questions as well)? Also one thing I might add here that when making pellets Ive mixed little bit of flours in the raw material( or anything with starch in it like crushed oats/barley) and it seems to make the pellets far more durable, easier to form and with less dust by-product.
And 8hrs later.....you have what? A 5 gal bucket? I was considering one of these but this video proved it is extremely low production for labor involved
Yes that is the smallest Machine We have so It does not produce a large amount. This 120 Model will produce up to 70lbs of wood pellets per hour. We have larger Models that will produce more per hour.
So turning machine off warm and die full of wood will not plug up solid when it cools? I read somewhere people running soybean into die to keep from freezing solid, not necessary if you loosen first?
Yes You can, however they must be run through a hammer mill first to break them down to the proper form (saw dust) in order to be properly run through a pellet Mill.
You need to get the moisture % to the correct level, so if the wood dust is very dry and has less than 15% Moisture You will have to add water to increase the moisture level.
@@racingvideos2970 welcome to the realities of making wood pellets. Moisture content can't be too high or too low. If it's too high you need to dry it. How are you going to dry it? Most places have a big drum that the sawdust rotates around in and hot air is blown in to heat and dry the sawdust. That means you' have to spend money drying the sawdust if you it's too wet. OK, so just keep the sawdust dry. Where are you going to keep it? Do you have storage space and a lot of it? You need a lot of sawdust to make one tonne of pellets. Don't get me wrong. I love the idea of making my own pellets but there's much more to it than just a pellet mill. Also, if the sawdust has bits of wood in it too hard that will clog up the die. So you need to run it through a hammer mill to crush it down to size and/or run it through a screener to remove any rocks and other material that won't go through the mill.
Pellets are Compressed. So The "hammer Milled" product is compressed into pellets that 1. take up much less space for storing. 2. Are Much better for feeding animals. 3. Have Much less waste when feeding animals. Just think, if You can store 5 bales of hay in a 55 gallon drum. Would that not keep it safer being sealed? Would that not save You a sufficient amount of storage space?
Machine made in China ? For our factory we can't stand all the time next the machine to move the sawdust like you do or use a mixer . The moulder give us about 12 to 14 % moister . Will that do ? Greats from the Netherlands .
We have much larger machines as well as mixers. Have a look at www.usapelletmill.com Feel free to give Us a call or email us at info@usapelletmill.com with any questions
Yes it is. That is the smallest pellet Mill We offer. We have several larger models that will produce much more per hour. Have a look at www.usapelletmill.com
Yes They are "inside safe". They are stoves used to heat homes, offices or several other types of rooms. No They are not "vent free" They need to be connected to chimney or similar for Venting.
Hello. I am interested in making animal feed pellets for my rabbits. But i am having problems because my pellet mill keeps getting clogged. I am totally lost as to what to do to get it right. I suppose the concept is the same here so can you help me to figure it out. Also what is the name/model of that machine you used to check the moisture? I think I will need one to get the moisture content of my mixture right.
Hello, We can certainly help You. Feel free to contact Us. You can email Us at info@usapelletmill or You can call as well. Check out www.usapelletmill.com
You can see the prices at www.usapelletmill.com email Us at info@usapelletmill.com or give Us a call. We have several models to choose from and We are happy to help You.
Hello, Regarding the Hammer Mill there are no "weak points" The hammers inside can be replaced if necessary. The Pellet Mill has a Die and Rollers that get replaced after a lot of use. That time frame depends on the materials being used to make the pellets. The necessary maintenance is Grease on every use. Give Us a call with any questions. We are happy to help
