I do not reccommed any purchase a small "table-top" pellet mill. They are not powerful enough. sorry.
-
@makewoodpellets do u think a 3 hp mill would also be just fine??
-
You can get a simple 15 hp diesel unit. That would produce plenty of pellets for you. Try to stay away fro single phase electric models as they are very under-powered. As far as moisture content goes you base it on the amount present in the raw material. The raw material should be 10-15 % moisture.

@makewoodpellets can u tell me how much moisture you should put for lets say per 40lb bag and i guess i would get a paper shredder to shred up junk mail and such. any suggestions on pizza boxes and food boxes. I have a wood pellet/corn stove and the cost of a bag of wood pellets in NJ goes for about 5 per bag and about 7 for corn. any recommendation on what type pellet mill i should get??

@dennisndodie Powdered cow patties could probably be burned in a sawdust heater.

Please tell me what is the best matrix ratio for producing paper pellets and cardboard pellets
-
Great idea, I wonder how much shredded paper it would take to create a 40lbs bag and how much time?
-
how much for one of them machines
how many bags of pellets can it make in one hour
Please explain "matrix ratio"?

It's pound for pound, so 40 lbsof paper = 40 lbs pf pellets and with a machine that produces 900 lbs and hour like the New Michigan PTO model from MakeYourOwnPellets-com that would take less than 2 minutes.
