there is a warning with this one



making pellets with a mixture of sawdust and some grains .
Please notice that this mill is underpowered ,I do not recommend this mill if you want to make wood pellets, this is mostly for animal feed in small quantity

ty on the links.

I havent' took a plung yet on direction. wood splitting is all I do, thinking pellets in future.

Those pellet mills are interesting. I have wondered how those worked.

I was thinking of a low speed high torque wood chunker that would produce larger than wood chip output in a somewhat automated process. It would be fed woody rubbish -small branches etc. A set of drums might rotate slowly at about 50 RPM and rip chunks away. I don't think wood chips burn cleanly without forced air, not as cleanly as manufactured pellets

heres another throw onto the pellet mill using something which is designed already
