The application of biomass boilers, pellet stoves, and biomass energy drive up the demand of wood pellets. The sales of pellet making equipment also have a strong growth. Many manufacturers and home users buy pellet machines to make wood pellets on their own. Then, how to choose a high-quality wood pellet machine become an important question. Here I have some tips.

Inspect the pellet machine exterior
High quality wood pellet machine https://www.zenopelletmachine.com/product/wood-pellet-machine/ should have uniform spray paint, without paint leakage, hanging and peeling. The clad layer should have high fastness and glossiness, without shed or corrosion. The surface of stainless steel parts should be smooth with uniform polishing finishes.

Inspect the workmanship of the die
Make sure the size of the die meet the technical standard, with no manufacturing defects. Each side of the die should have high surface finish. High quality dies are processed by heat-treatment, which can be judged by the appearance.

The inner holes should be distributed uniformly and symmetrically. The opening of the hole should ...
... be tapered. The inside of the hole should be smooth with no rags. Don’t choose the dies with blind holes or joint holes.

Flat die and ring die
Check the rotating of the die
Test run the pellet machine or rotate the die by hand, observe whether the die shakes in rotation, and whether it have friction with other components.

Open up the feed stranding cage in stopped status, check if there is foreign matters inside. Rotate the cage axis with your hand. It should run smoothly without noise from rugs.

Check the fastening of assembly
Check the fastening of the main body and the drive engine on the under frame. In ring die pellet machine, check the tightness of the fastening bolts and roller support. In flat die pellet machine, check the assembly of die lock nut and the pellet cutter.

Open and shut the door of the compression chamber. Check whether the movement is smooth, and whether the sealing is tight. After locking the door, observe the sealing tightness from the side. If there is loose sealing, adjust the fastening bolt for the door hinge to prevent the powder leakage.

Check the tightness and reliability of the connection between the compression chamber and the feed stranding cage. Make sure the position is accurate, the locking is firm, and no powder leakage.

The wood pellets should have smooth surface without cracks, the cross section should be flat. The wood pellets should have certain hardness and you can’t crumb it easily with your hand. The pellet size should be uniform, with the qualified rate higher than 95%.

Pellet machine test run
Before turning on the wood pellet production line https://www.zenopelletmachine.com/product/wood-pellet-production-line/ , inspect the lubrication of the gearbox and other parts. Adjust the cutter of the pellet machine to the largest distance. Power on the machine briefly to check whether the rotating direction of the electric motor is in line with the marked direction. If not, stop the machine at once and switch the connection.

The first commissioning shouldn’t be too long, and prepare to stop at any time. After confirming there is no abnormalities, you can let the pellet machine run continuously. During the idle of the machine, there should be no irregular vibration, the crash of gears, or the friction between the feed reel and the string shaft.

After confirming the idle is normal, you can add some powder feed to the feed stranding cage. Keep the pellet machine commissioning under medium load, and observe the current reading of the spindle motor.
