2. Drying system
The best moisture of your raw material for pelletizing is 15%. For wood pellet plants with capacity more than 1t/h, we suggest you use the rotary dryer. This rotary dryer needs to be matched with the hot blast stove which used to offer hot air for the rotary drum.

3. Pelletizing system and Cooling system
The pelletizing system used to process sawdust after crusher and dryer process above. The size of wood pellet is 6mm or 8mm usually. There are two kinds of wood pellet mills, one is gear drive and another is belt drive.

After the pelletizing process, the temperature of the wood pellet is about 60-80 degree, and the moisture content of the wood pellet is about 15%, so we need use the Cooler to reduce about 3-4% moisture. The wood pellet is easy to store.
