I bought all this years ago, chipper sbreader, hammer mill, 23 hp diesel pellet mill. These machines made pellets..But even completely dried they did not burn anywhere near like the pellets you buy. I even tried running them through several times trying to make them drier and harder. No luck. Sold everything. These machines are made to produce feed pellets, not wood pellets.
Depends on what you are trying to make the pellet out of. Use premo wood and you'll have good pellets. Use grass and straw and you'll get what you pay for
The reason is that the commercial wood pellets are KILN DRIED so they have very low moisture content. If you made these pellets this winter and let them dry all summer and burned them next year they should be dry enough; or you could set up an air feed from your pellet store through your pellet dryer to dry them in a shorter time. For feed they don't need to be bone dry. By the way, these people are NOT drying the pellets, their pellet "dryer" is only COOLING them!
all i need now is a farm, a chipper, some wood to chip, a tractor, the pellet attachment, build a screen system that looks like it has a dehydrator to dry them, and about 18 weeks to get it done before winter. I think I'll stick to the wood stove, and buying pellets by the bag. wow. if you add up all that equipment and labour i wonder how much the pellets cost per ton.
Just switched over to gravity feed pellet stove, 227 per ton for pellets free delivery. I have to say man is it easy no work no going outside no heavy lifting
they are now doing sawgrass/switchgrass pellets that is a great idea. They can get multiple cuttings a year. Better than cutting down trees but since people will not stop cutting down trees the sawdust can now be used instead of sitting around.
Deforestation is certainly a problem today, but cutting down trees to make farmland and cutting them down and letting them grow back is a very different thing. Also, pellets can be made from things other than wood like switch-grass or grain. In fact, this video shows pellets being made from several other materials than wood.
I burn about 5 tons per winter. That's 10,000 lbs. One of the videos look like they make about 10 lbs per batch. At 15 minutes per batch I would have to make 1000 batches to get enough for one year. That's 10 days making pellets 24 hours a day to get my winter supply. Not to mention buying soybeans. I think the BTU's my body would produce making pellets would heat my house
Good observation, I have seen bigger and better on the market, more industrial sized machines. I think it would be worth getting something bigger than what is shown here.
Corn is obviously more expensive due to high fructose corn syrup use , but mixing in corn will reduce your consumption due to it's much higher BTU / energy content and burn much, much cleaner , When my brother started selling stoves corn was $1.85 a bushel .
i thought you didnt have to add a binder to make pellets? i thought it was the lignon that naturally occurs in plant matter when heated binds it together?least thats was what was said in a different video.
@aphilipdent The raw material needs to be approximately ¼ x ¼ with moisture content around 18%. To this point I haven't heard of anyone testing Kudzu. You would have to experiment with different binding agents and find out what the ash content is once it burns. Most of our customers go into pelletizing with an experimental approach. If you chip and dry the vine I dont see why it would not work. Sorry we can't give you a more precise answer, but look forward to discussion on this topic.
These pellet machines do NOT require binding agent. The heat, pressure, and low moisture content, is all that is needed. It is the cell walls of the plant material that does the binding once the temperature is hot enough.
@@dragomatinov2720 - You only need enough moisture that when you squeeze the product in your hand it holds together but no liquid squeezes out. If your pellets do not hold together, add more moisture.
Can I ask what's it cost for you pellet machine..and what is the most cost efficient material to use to make pellets? Trying to calculate cost of mid grade 40lb bag
Leaves would produce very little heat. Hard wood pellets burn the best and these machines aren't made to handle hard wood. They are designed to make feed pellets for your animals. I've owned it all. Chipper/ shredder, hammer mill and large pellet mill. They just aren't made to produce good quality wood pellets.
people have made pellets out if all biomass that includes leaves and grass clipping from the lawn mower the guy bellow you says hardwood gives more heat not true it lasts longer though , pine pellets give more heat than hard wood burn quicker but are more expensive in the US i don't know why , pellets in Europe are mostly pine or eucalyptus
Oh wonder how this would work to run barley straw used as bedding for ducks through a Hammermill to turn it into dust and of course the straw has been pooped on so it's full of dog poop and have it mostly dried out and then run it through one of these to turn it into pellets for fertilizer. Seems to me that it would actually turn a waste product into a good organic fertilizer
wonder what's the net energy gain, accounting all the fuel used to bring the sawdust and run the tractor or the pellet machine and the human time and work, Also money can buy energy, so we have to account for materials, machinery investment and manteinance... Does it worth the effort? or is it sustainable only as long as we have access to cheap fossil fuels?
Sawdust is a by product at sawmills and cabinet shops. Wood pellet prices fall when housing market is busy, jump up when it slows. BUT, you are using what once was a waste product and save the whole trees for other uses, including converting CO2 into O2. I heat 1800 SF soley with 47,000 Btu Stove, that is max output. I run it at 30% to 60% capacity, using 4 tons of fuel for 150 days as a maximum, 3 tons on a minimum (mild versus severe temps) in NW Mo. I ton of good hardwood pellets (no pine) runs $160 a ton on average.

Not all pellet stoves can handle and burn correctly so how do you know what will work your pellets are way over sized compared to the Allegheny pallets i use
Yep, I buy 3 skids a year and my cost is around $1100 CAD. I'm good to about -35°F after that I light up my small woodstove and burn scrap wood I save through the year. I only get that cold for about two weeks. Now I'm working on a scrap wood grinder and a small 3x6" log press so I can experiment for my shop stove.
With your pellet stove being in the living room that's usually the most places I put them maybe in the basement when you dump the palace into your pellet stove the dust is unbelievable okay and so you know what dust does
This is a deadly serious question. If a person raising rabbits for food commercially were to collect the droppings to sell as pellets, would they not, when dried offer up similar heating possibilities? Mike
Mike Lamothe, if your stove would burn rabbit droppings. We raise rabbits and have a pellet stove. I wouldn't put rabbit pellets in my stove. I put rabbit pellets in my garden..
Better in the garden but yep in a special building nit in a house, the word black plauge comes to mind , from the dust , I m sure that's just me, but the issues they have with farming g fish n chickens is cross contaminated from the waste handling so yep it needs to be done but in vented hood type setting , and always vaccumed all on vaccume , for dust or binder on them to stop dust, n won't burn less dry , dust in all of this, even fire places dust in house from loading and cleaning, but it's only cancer issues n b m ack lung not airborne shit
For anyone with woods on their place, there is enough wood from dead branches, storm damage etc. to make a lot pellets, possibly enough to take you through the winter. Add to that the amount of pellets you could get from grasses, leaves, prunings and other biomass, and it could add up substantially. We also could use hay from our fields to make pellets for our rabbits at a fraction of the price of buying them, and with a lot more security, knowing that none of it is genetically engineered.
Better be a big place with lots and lots of windfall. All you need is someone who is willing to gather it all up then chip it all with another expensive machine. I get a pallet of pellets for $249 from the local Home Depot then I sit back and enjoy the leisure time that would have been wasted doing hard labor. N
Hi Guys went down this path. Firstly you can't use sticks or anything big as you need a hammer mill to grind it down to size before you even start. You'll notice that he is using a very fine wood dust. If you can't get this give up now. The die temp in these small machines is critical and generally can't be controlled well enough, you see these videos making pellets for 30 or 40 seconds when the dies are hot and then the die temp flashes (which they never show you) and you have a rock solid blocked pellet mill. My mill is 2.4 kw at 65 cents an hour to run and if all goes well you have a bag of pellets in about 2/12 hours to 3 hours. Then you have to dry them. You'll notice she is using soy beans at 12 to 6 to 1 of water otherwise it won't slip through the die properly and it will cook. I used wheat still ok. Pellet making is an art form not a science for these small machine. Good luck
since when is hard labour 'wasted"? Offer a 'free useful exercise" program to the local gym. they pay you AND feed the machine. Remember- "Arbeit macht frei". ;-)
Pretty cool. If I lived in a rural area I would like to have this to be self sufficient. During the "Plandemic" all the stores in my state 'Massachusetts' ran out of pellets & I drove all the way to Rhode Island to get some.
It's good to discover the machine but this video does not give information. The cost of a 40-pound homemade bag versus the one purchased in-store. The raw material is where? In short, it seems to me that this is a lot of unknown for this investment in money and time.
I realize this is a 2008 video, but... I visited the Pellet Pro web-site. Couldn't find any contact information except a phone # I was able to read off a sign. Called it. It's no longer in service. Not trying to be mean, just frustrared... any comments?

i burn pellets on a trey thats full of air holes in my fireplace at times. not efficient like a pellet stove of course as uses more at a time, but it works if your short on wood.
Even if you have compleatly free wood you have to be spending a crazy amount of time making the pellets. You have to get the wood, mix it, Dry it Bag it, move it how many times. That is crazy.
Wth?, you got a John Deere tractor probably a 3000 series thats $28000, a pto pellet mill $2000, soybeans @ $12 a bushel, fuel for tractor @ $3 a gallon for every 50 lbs of pellets made. Then whole process is expensive and extremely time consuming. You can buy a 40 lb bag that is ready to use for $6.
I have done the math, and unless your winter stays above 30 degrees?? Its really not feasable, well insulated home with high efficiency furnace is cheaper.
I burn wood all winter long, when it gets below 20' degrees we fire up the pellet stove.i make 2 tons a year with mine( which is a little bigger) costs gas for a small international tractor, and some time but it's worth it to me to save 500$ on two ton! Worth it.
I don't know how you think you could ever accurately do the math on that. There are too many variables. Size of house, number of times per day the door gets opened, temp outside, how long winter is, price of propane vs pellets from area to area.
+Tomáš Janku It's all relative to the size of area and type of pellet stove and many require electricity to operate or a propane to start the ignition process. Sometimes a regular good ol' wood stove is the ticket.
You Tuber I burn about 3 tons of pellets a winter to heat my 30'x 35' bungalow with basement. In eastern Ontario Canada temps can hit -40C in the middle of winter. A wood stove is great, had it for years but, a wood stove only works if your there to put wood in it. A good pellet stove is as close to wood heat comfort as your going to get with the convenience of a oil/gas furnace. My Eco-65 holds 120lbs and that will last two to three days.
I have a pellet stove the hopper holds 3-40lbs at a time. Depending on what you set it at it will last about 72 hours. I have a three bedroom and many other rooms. It’s a one level house I wouldn’t go back to propane.
Ok, assume that all your raw wood materials are free. Do you have an expensive wood chipper? That needs fuel to run? That requires maintenance? Are you good at wood chipper maintenance? Have you bought a pellet maker? That requires energy to run? And maintenance? Are you a good pellet machine mechanic? Have you bought your pellet fire place to heat your home? Is it electric? If it is, are you a good pellet stove mechanic? They break down a lot, at the worst times. Do you know all these machines have a lot of moving parts, a lot of room for error and breakdown? Just thinking…. You know a well designed, well insulated home can be built that can be heated with very little energy. I’m talking light bulbs, body heat, the sun, and a very small auxiliary heater…like a small wood stove, with no moving parts. Texas
This is very true, we seem to add more money from our pocket book to heat when we should really be testing our homes to be the most energy efficient before we buy more “heat” or “AC”. Adding insulation like spray foam inside a foundation wall or fixing leaks from air going into the attic or high on the walls. What about good doors, seals, and low “e” glass.... Not against using by products to clean up after manufacturing, it’s great, but dollars spent into a nice comfy living space is money well spent and gives return year after year. This gentleman was asking if you have good mechanic skills, but in reality, he’s asking if you’ve tightened your home down to be efficient first. ???
They make stove that can do corn wood or pellets thats the way to go. To me a coal stove coal is cheap and hottest than anything on earth they produce mad heat like 200k btu,s for a potbelly they get stupid hot.
hello , if you are interested in this machine and know more about this machine , welcome to contact me E-mail : pelletmill06@tonyjixie.com Tel/Whatsapp :0086-18766193588
I'm sure they bought a Tractor just to make a bag of pellets, like you bought a computer just to post your one message or the 35k for you vehicle just to get your computer.
hm. I second “AGuidottiR”.... could this do straw pellets? The process heats the substrate to pasteurization temps, so maybe, possibly, it would let you turn straw, corn stalks, etc into usable substrate for growing mushrooms commercially. Pretty sure you’d need the Hammer Mill too though.
I bought all this years ago, chipper sbreader, hammer mill, 23 hp diesel pellet mill. These machines made pellets..But even completely dried they did not burn anywhere near like the pellets you buy.

It was so loud when she turned it on that my dog jumped half out of his skin!
I overhauled these machines... But they were slightly bigger 😁
Like 5 tones and 8 feet tall...

Whatever we have so much wood we’re watching it burn every year lefty
Yes, tree farmers plant these trees to be harvested, not longingly admired as they get overripe.

In the first video, what is she making with pine and sow beans ?
Is it animal feed or fuel to burn ?
This method can be used to make pellets for feed or you smoker.
i thought you didnt have to add a binder to make pellets? i thought it was the lignon that naturally occurs in plant matter when heated binds it together?least thats was what was said in a different video.
A cup of drain oil from the tractor oil change should greatly enhance your burn heat. Thank me later. LOL

@@dragomatinov2720About 15% +/-
How do they hold up in the hopper? I have seen that some of these machines don’t quite use enough pressure and can crumble.
How about a chipper and auger that delivers wood chips directly. Maybe a paddle(old elevator) looking thing.
most users are careful to discriminate so feed is feed and fuel is fuel. Hope that helps.
Can I ask what's it cost for you pellet machine..and what is the most cost efficient material to use to make pellets? Trying to calculate cost of mid grade 40lb bag
All these pellet people seem to need bigger buckets to catch all the pellets coming out of the machine.

Have you tried making pellets out of ordinary everyday leaves? It would be a great way to get rid of all the yard leaves in the fall.

Where to buy the machine i am from the Phillipines
I don't want to buy a hammer mill to reduce them. Most mills say that chips will destroy the dies in their manuals...
Looks like your company is DOA. I just went to your website and was saddened to see that it cannot be found.

Nice burn Fuels to make pellets to burn and heat your home, Just how green is this?
Overall input of fuel burned is WAY less than the btu content of the pellets produced!
Do you have have a link for the pellet maker?
Check ebay.
Is your website still up and running? server not found
Are the pine chips straight from a chipper,
I buy pellets around 175 bucks a ton what are the savings of doing your own
what cost per ton of home made
thanks
Bro in in michigan. Where can I buy pellets for that price? Decent pellets.please
Pellets are supposed to be dry. Adding water makes them burn poorly.
Did a coconut fall on your head?
@@nugget10867 yeah so I made cream pie out of it 🤔

Hi! will be possible to make straw pellets with that machine?
it probably would but you may need to grind it up first and add a binder in case it wouldn't hold together on its' own
AGuidottiR of course, the capability is 1.8-2T/H. Welcome to contact us if you are interested. Skype: tinawang1986229
In other words,, another very costly machine would be required.

On the PTO model, what heats the dies up? Is all that heat created by compression alone?
I make these pellets professionally and can assure you it is from the compression and moisture content.
What wood do you use? Is is all fine sawdust or a specific granular size? Thanks
Where did you purchase the pellet machine?
pellets $5.19 per 40 lb bag down south
$165 per ton up north (MI). Summer price...
There goes that! Rats would be into those soy bean pellets so fast.
LOL
In place of the water, use diesel?
I would not use anything that could combust. Compression always develops some sort of heat, make sure what ever you are using stays cool enough.
Kiln dried then add water ?
What are these pellets used for?
Wood pellet stove
Vă salut. De unde pot achiziționa o asemenea maşina şi la ce preț este ?
Mine look nothing like that. They just break immediately also my pellet mill keeps breaking.
hello .. how can i produce solid pellets with good hardness and durability
Where do you get that mixer?
I wonder how much it can sell? maybe we could make some profit of it?

No, this setup is barely big enough to make enough pellets for one household.
How long does it take 40 pounds of wood pellets for a pellet stove
Please don't bother with these machines, they are designed to make feed pellets.
Depends on the size of mill you have and the quality of material you use
How much is one of this machines, non commercial to make wood pellets to BBQ
Thank you for this nice video!
The best I've found is about $2000. You can get cheaper or more expensive. Just depends on how much bang for the buck you want
You'd have to BBQ a hell of a lot, I mean 12 hrs/7 /365 for years to make it worthwhile.
Pine, Interesting since it gives off a lot of soot.
Not if its kiln dried.
is there something in there that determines pellet length or do they just happen to come out that length?
The size of the mould I guess watch a pasta maker in a production line it's pretty similar to this
Die thickness
I have done the math, and unless your winter stays above 30 degrees?? Its really not feasable, well insulated home with high efficiency furnace is cheaper.
I burn wood all winter long, when it gets below 20' degrees we fire up the pellet stove.i make 2 tons a year with mine( which is a little bigger) costs gas for a small international tractor, and some time but it's worth it to me to save 500$ on two ton! Worth it.
I don't know how you think you could ever accurately do the math on that. There are too many variables. Size of house, number of times per day the door gets opened, temp outside, how long winter is, price of propane vs pellets from area to area.
@@MommaNoni86 Did you count labor cost?
i cannot live life without having one of these. i must make pellets for alternative energy
bhearts77 We can supply the wood pellets.the capability of machine is 1.8-2T/H. Welcome to contact us if you are interested. Skype: tinawang1986229
Musst make pellletts.
Where can I get one
Hi! I want a pellet mill.
How small does the raw material need to be? Has anybody tested pelletizing & burning kudzu?

Use a Rocket Stove and convert it so you can also burn pellets in it.
I would love to see a video on that... do you have one?

I would like to know how many KG of the pallets you can use during the winter period.
+Tomáš Janku It's all relative to the size of area and type of pellet stove and many require electricity to operate or a propane to start the ignition process. Sometimes a regular good ol' wood stove is the ticket.

I burn about 3 tons of pellets a winter to heat my 30'x 35' bungalow with basement. In eastern Ontario Canada temps can hit -40C in the middle of winter. A wood stove is great, had it for years but, a wood stove only works if your there to put wood in it.
A good pellet stove is as close to wood heat comfort as your going to get with the convenience of a oil/gas furnace. My Eco-65 holds 120lbs and that will last two to three days.
I have a pellet stove the hopper holds 3-40lbs at a time. Depending on what you set it at it will last about 72 hours. I have a three bedroom and many other rooms. It’s a one level house I wouldn’t go back to propane.
Ok, assume that all your raw wood materials are free. Do you have an expensive wood chipper? That needs fuel to run? That requires maintenance? Are you good at wood chipper maintenance? Have you bought a pellet maker? That requires energy to run? And maintenance? Are you a good pellet machine mechanic? Have you bought your pellet fire place to heat your home? Is it electric? If it is, are you a good pellet stove mechanic? They break down a lot, at the worst times. Do you know all these machines have a lot of moving parts, a lot of room for error and breakdown? Just thinking…. You know a well designed, well insulated home can be built that can be heated with very little energy. I’m talking light bulbs, body heat, the sun, and a very small auxiliary heater…like a small wood stove, with no moving parts. Texas
This is very true, we seem to add more money from our pocket book to heat when we should really be testing our homes to be the most energy efficient before we buy more “heat” or “AC”. Adding insulation like spray foam inside a foundation wall or fixing leaks from air going into the attic or high on the walls. What about good doors, seals, and low “e” glass.... Not against using by products to clean up after manufacturing, it’s great, but dollars spent into a nice comfy living space is money well spent and gives return year after year. This gentleman was asking if you have good mechanic skills, but in reality, he’s asking if you’ve tightened your home down to be efficient first. ???
Seems easier to use grass or leafs
Where is the prep each time? Saw nothing of that. Saw no sawing either.
Is that 177 or 22
Howdie whating to Ask How Much for your Pellet machine if I were to by such thks again for your time keep up the good work
+paul marks For a small one, they start at 6000$+
Great Video Alain ❤️❤️❤️
I heard sunflower hulls can be used for fuel pellets, have you had any experience with using the hulls?
They make stove that can do corn wood or pellets thats the way to go. To me a coal stove coal is cheap and hottest than anything on earth they produce mad heat like 200k btu,s for a potbelly they get stupid hot.
Sunflower hulls burns fine as pellets, but they generate unreasonable much ashes.
Can I use pine needles, I’ve got tons of it
The trees will eventually grow back.
definatly a green product, i like it.

I'm sure they bought a Tractor just to make a bag of pellets, like you bought a computer just to post your one message or the 35k for you vehicle just to get your computer.

Where does that machine do pressed them together as they're turning in their with heat?
how many horsepower do you need for the pto model
hm.
I second “AGuidottiR”.... could this do straw pellets?
The process heats the substrate to pasteurization temps, so maybe, possibly, it would let you turn straw, corn stalks, etc into usable substrate for growing mushrooms commercially.
Pretty sure you’d need the Hammer Mill too though.
