  • @geati6783 when using wood chips, from beginning to end (so when the customer actually gets it, so including transportation cost), wood pellets only use a max. of 5% in energy that they create. Also, I saw a smart pellet manufacturer in Germany, he uses wood shavings to make power, and uses the of-heat from the device, to dry the wood during the pellet production. I think you guys need to do some thinking. If it was not financially viable, they would not do it.

  • manufactures of junk

  • yeah nice...transform a renewable energy with a lot of electric power (which comes from coal and gas powerstation) into less energy...why not use a windturbine or solarenergy that makes it really renewable

  • @spagNsc now that makes sense. if the pellets are too dry they become dusty and difficult to pour into hoppers.

  • @BurtBartlow ditto. lame

  • @pusswhakker

    thats stupid. they sell cement in paper bags of 80lbs

    lol

  • Thought that the sawdust has a natural binder that under pressure would form a dense pellet. I have heard of adding a predetermined amount of cornstarch to the dust at times helping increase the binding characteristics. Water added to increase moisture content seems to me unnecessary. It does explain the need for plastic over paper bags to retain moisture and pellet form.

  • My understanding is that if you do not have the correct moisture content, the pellets will not adhere. If you do not COOL them, they will decompose (turn to compost).

  • Paper bag will not handle 40 lbs of wood pellets.

  • packing them in plastic bags....

    seems like you could use recycled paper bags would be more environmentally friendly.
