Pellet Press Makes Up To 385 Lbs./Hr.
 ✖  |
A Swedish-built press that will make pellets from wood or most any material that is under 16 percent moisture is marketed in North America by Silvana Import Trading. It’s geared for both home and commercial use, says Dick Johnsson, Silvana.
“It can also be used to pelletize straw, cornstalks, sawdust and a wide variety of other materials. You can use it to make pellets at home for heating and also sell pellets to local stores.”
Model PP150 produces from 275 to 385 lbs. of pellets per hour. It has a 15 kW motor with an 11-in. (internal diameter) cylinder and two 5-in. press rollers. The compact press takes up about a 4 by 5-ft. area.
“The PP150 is very basic and easy to set up,” says Johnsson. “It’s ready to run. The rollers push the material through the cylinder. The pressure and resulting heat bind the material together into pellets.”
Straw and other materials need to be chopped up to a few centimeters in size, advises Johnsson. Pellets come out at 140°F and need to cool before storage. Cylinders are available to make different size pellets.
The basic PP150 is priced at $40,000. More elaborate systems with cooling towers, hammer mills and feeding screws are available. The company offers a custom selection of components in an automated container system. It includes material storage and automated in-feeding.
