i thought you didnt have to add a binder to make pellets? i thought it was the lignon that naturally occurs in plant matter when heated binds it together?least thats was what was said in a different video.
@aphilipdent The raw material needs to be approximately ¼ x ¼ with moisture content around 18%. To this point I haven't heard of anyone testing Kudzu. You would have to experiment with different binding agents and find out what the ash content is once it burns. Most of our customers go into pelletizing with an experimental approach. If you chip and dry the vine I dont see why it would not work. Sorry we can't give you a more precise answer, but look forward to discussion on this topic.
Wth?, you got a John Deere tractor probably a 3000 series thats $28000, a pto pellet mill $2000, soybeans @ $12 a bushel, fuel for tractor @ $3 a gallon for every 50 lbs of pellets made. Then whole process is expensive and extremely time consuming. You can buy a 40 lb bag that is ready to use for $6.
I'm sure they bought a Tractor just to make a bag of pellets, like you bought a computer just to post your one message or the 35k for you vehicle just to get your computer.
Why don't you add some milk? Come on...corn & soybeans? I am all for renewable resources but stick to the non-edible ones, there are plenty of other options for making pellets.
How small does the stuff going into the unit have to be ? Can it use wood chips the size of a quarter ? Or do they have to be smaller ?

Way too time intensive.

@peterpulpitpounder Hardly too time intensive...make them a small quantity at a time when you can, and the amount adds up in a hurry.

Or you could use either the diesel or electric model with no tractor and make pellets from sawdust or some other junk material for free.

All these pellet people seem to need bigger buckets to catch all the pellets coming out of the machine.

Soybeans and alfalfa - you're making stock feed pellets? Or are you just using the trash left over after harvest? Thanks

most users are careful to discriminate so feed is feed and fuel is fuel. Hope that helps.

I wonder how much it can sell? maybe we could make some profit of it?

the pink insulation in the drying area is not recommended. highly flammable and next to pellets. not a good idea.
