pelletointia

Pelletointia refers to the process of converting biomass or other materials into pellets. This is typically achieved by grinding the raw material into a fine powder, then compressing it under high pressure with a pellet mill. The heat generated during compression causes natural binders in the material to activate, holding the particles together in a pellet form. The resulting pellets are usually cylindrical with a diameter ranging from 6 to 10 millimeters and a length of 10 to 30 millimeters.

The primary purpose of pelletointia is to improve the handling, storage, and combustion characteristics of the raw material. Pellets are denser and more uniform than their raw form, which allows for easier transportation and automated feeding systems. They also burn more efficiently, producing less ash and smoke compared to unprocessed materials. This makes pelletointia a valuable process for biomass fuels, animal feed, and even waste management. The specific composition of the raw material will dictate the exact parameters of the pelletointia process, including temperature, pressure, and die design, to achieve optimal pellet quality.
