Bio-Fuel Pellets are considered an excellent
source of renewable energy, extensively used as an environmental friendly substitute
to fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum products.
Why pellet?
Pelleting is used to increase the specific density of the product, for example the
density of sawdust can be increased from 9 Lb/ft3 to 40Lb/ft3 by
pelleting.
Advantages of this include:
• Improved handling.
• Reduced transport costs.
• Allows for stable storing.
The industry is growing rapidly in North America and Europe. End users include residential
market, commercial power generation facilities and export users. Main driving force
includes:
• Increasing prices of fossil fuels
• Fossil fuel shortages
• Local and national government tax systems
• Disposal problems

Supplier of Key Machinery
The production of Bio-Fuel pellets is influenced by different physical
properties such as moisture content, particle size distribution,
bulk density, and operating parameters such as die specifications,
operating temperature and power requirement.
The Pellet Mill is only part of an overall system used to achieve
the finished product. Generally there is a requirement for size
reduction, size classification, storage and drying equipment.
Andritz Sprout is capable of satisfying your key machinery requirements.
