  • How many biomasses were pelletized in a flat-die pelletizer?
  • 10 biomasses were pelletized in a flat-die pelletizer under minimum 6 conditions. Operating conditions had to be adjusted depending on the feedstock. Pelletizing moisture content showed correlations with extractives content. Energy input showed correlations with the acetyl groups content of the feedstock. 1. Introduction
  • Does moisture content influence binding mechanisms in biofuel wood pellets?
  • Moisture content and storage time influence the binding mechanisms in biofuel wood pellets Appl. Energy, 99 ( 2012), pp. 109 - 115, 10.1016/j.apenergy.2012.05.004 Effects of moisture content during densification of biomass pellets, focusing on polysaccharide substances Biomass Bioenergy, 122 ( 2019), pp. 322 - 330, 10.1016/j.biombioe.2019.01.048
  • Why is pellet size important for biofuel commercialization?
  • It is an important parameter for solid biofuel commercialization because it indirectly represents energy density and gives an idea of the space required for transport and storage . The diameter and length of pellets are quantified by standard ISO 17829:2016 .
  • Why should you choose our biomass extruding equipment?
  • Our biomass extruding equipment is capable to process many different biomass materials including hard wood and palm fiber, which gives you the flexibility to choose the most economic raw material based on availability and price. Our machines are known for their high efficiency and reliability, excellent controllability and competitive price.
  • Should a longer press channel be a good strategy for pellet producers?
  • At a lower PCL, a variation in MC had a greater effect on the durability of willow, corn cobs, sunflower shells and beech pellets. Hence, choosing a longer press channel could be a good strategy for pellet producers, potentially reducing the risk of variable quality due to moisture flexibility.
  • Do extractives affect pellet durability & energy input?
  • In the literature, extractives were seen as causing a fall in both pellet durability and energy input, due to the formers’ lubricant effect on press channels . At the same time, moisture is also thought to have a lubricant effect during pelletizing .
