Miscanthus pellet mill as bio-fuel 

Introducing of Miscanthus pellet mill as bio-fuel 

Miscanthus as Fuel
Since EU has set the target for generating 20% of its total energy from renewable sources, miscanthus has been grown specially for energy production. While the rapid growth, low mineral content, high biomass yield, all of which made the miscanthus a perfect choice as a biofuel.
Turning miscanthus into pellets by a wood pellet mill is a good way to become manageable fuel. Through miscanthus can be burned directly, the miscanthus pellets performance better when burning. The chart in the following can clearly prove this idea.

 Tips for Making Biomass Miscanthus into Pellets Miscanthus

When making biomass miscanthus into pellets miscanthus, something you should pay attention to:
Firstly, the structure of miscanthus is hard. Since the miscanthus is about 3 meters high and the structure is hard, it should be crushed first before pelletizing. A grinder orhammer mill is needed for pelletizing.
Secondly, if the miscanthus is in storage phase, drying is not necessary. When in storge phase, the moisture content of biomass miscanthus is lower than 15% which is dry enough for pelletizing.
Thirdly, due to the high density of the miscanthus fiber, a high compression die is needed.
Potential Market of Miscanthus Pellets in Europe
The market for fuel pellets is booming in Europe currently due to the increasing focus on environment protection and reducing fossil fuel resources. The European Biomass Plan which was published in December 2005 shows the demand of more fuel pellets. With high yield, environmental friendly , miscanthus are widely used as raw materials for miscanthus pellets in power plants, large scale electricity power stations and home heating in pellet stoves. So the miscanthus pellets have a very broad market in Europe

What is pelletizing?

 Pelletizing is the process of making waste materials into solid fuel. The pellets are typically used for burning purposes. However, pellets can be used in several processes from making animal feed to electricity production.

What materials can be used for making pellets?

Pellets can be made from any type of Agro-Forestry waste. Including but not limited to wood, leafs, grass,  cornstalks, cardboard, switch grass, pinecones, hay, nut-shells, corn cobs, tobacco waste, straw, animal waste, and so on.

How does it work?

Biomass  is fed to a press where it is squeezed through a die template that contains several holes. The high pressure of the press causes the temperature of the biomass to increase greatly. As the biomass is heated, the lignin (organic polymer found in the cell walls of plants) plastifies forming a “natural glue” that holds the pellet together as it cools.

Product Details of  Miscanthus pellet mill as bio-fuel 

features simple operation, excellent stability, light weight, and great performance. Has more power for its size than any other mill available world wide!

It is light weight, portable, and is much easier to start in cold weather conditions than diesel engine powered mills.
