How are wood pellets made?

Wood is chipped, dried, and ground to a saw dust consistency. The pellet is formed by pressure and heat when forced through a pellet die. Only moisture is added. We do not add binders or glues.

A “pelletizer” or “pellet mill” is the main piece of equipment used, but the whole process included pulverizing the wood into tiny chips, drying out the wood, compressing it into little pellets and then cooking the pellets so that they retain their shape. I’ve put a link to a page with several different pellet mill manufacturers. This is a piece of industrial equipment that takes large quantities of waste wood and turns them into pellets. Unless you were looking into going into this business, you wouldn’t purchase one just for your use. Good luck.
