Small Pellet Mill

By far the most common design of pellet mills used for home use are flat die pellet mills. Flat die pellet mills can be produced in a very compact form. However, many of the small pellet mills on sale today from many other websites are actually feed pellet mills, and are not ideal for wood pellet production. Producing feed pellets is a much easier business, as the raw material has a much lower density, putting low pressure on the equipment and flowing through the die quite easily. However wood has a much higher density, and puts much more pressure on the pellet mill. This can show in some of the pellet mills on sale that are simply not designed to take the force of producing wood pellets.
