What are straw pellets?
Straw pellets are pellet-shaped products made from corn stalks, wheat straw, rice straw, rice husk, peanut shells and other crop wastes that are pressed at high temperatures in a straw pellet mill. Straw mainly refers to the rhizome of oat plant, which is the residue left after harvesting grain. In the traditional cognition, people think that straw is a waste without any value, how to deal with straw is a problem for people. If it is burned directly, it will emit carbon dioxide and other harmful substances that are not good for the environment.
Now people have found a way to utilize straw efficiently and turn straw into treasure, that is to make straw into high-efficiency, environmentally friendly biomass pellets. Biomass straw pellet is a kind of pressed pellet, with the advantages of renewable, low pollution, economic, clean, easy to use and transportation. Straw has a high calorific value and can be used as fuel, in addition, it can also be used as livestock feed or horse bedding, etc. Moreover, it is very easy to make straw pellets, only need the above mentioned straw pellet machine to produce smooth and dense straw pellets.
What are straw pellets used for?
There are two common use of straw pellets, one is as biomass fuel for combustion and the other is as animal feed.
Straw pellets as fuel
As a biomass fuel, straw pellets have high combustion density and high calorific value, and can be used to replace coal for home heating or for power generation in enterprises. Straw itself can be used as fuel, but direct combustion of straw is not only low calorific value, large footprint, but also cause pollution to the environment. The straw pellet machine made of straw particles resistant to combustion and environmental protection, can improve people’s living environment, make full use of agricultural and forestry waste, a win-win situation.
Straw pellets as feed
Straw pellets can be used as feed for poultry and livestock, for farms and so on. Some data show that corn stover contains more than 30% of carbohydrates, 2%-4% of protein and 0.5%-1% of fat, which can provide sufficient nutrients for animals.For ruminants such as cows and sheep, 2kg of corn stover can be equivalent to 1kg of corn kernels, using straw pellets as feed can alleviate the problem of resource scarcity and solve the problem of “animal and human competition for food”.
In addition, straw pellets can also be used as animal bedding, such as horse bedding, cat litter and so on. In short, straw pellets have many uses and high practical value, make your straw pellets quickly! I will briefly introduce how to make straw pellets.
How to make straw pellets?
Here I take straw pellet plant production process to briefly introduce how to make straw pellets.
Straw pellet plant production process is generally: raw material reception and storage, crushing, drying, pelletizing, cooling, packaging of finished products.
Commonly used straw pellet processing equipment are: straw crusher, drying cylinder, straw granulator, cooling machine, baler, conveying equipment and other auxiliary equipment.
The production capacity of straw pellet plant is between 0.5-40T/H, which can be customized according to customers’ needs. The pellet production line can be used to process raw materials such as corn stover, soybean meal, grass, straw stalks, wheat bran, etc. It is suitable for use in biomass pellet production lines of various sizes.
01 Preparation of raw materials
First of all, collect sufficient raw materials according to local conditions. Raw materials should be cleaned before entering the pulverizer, that is to say, decontamination, which can ensure the machine is free from the damage of impurities. In addition, if your raw material is a large size of corn stalks, you also need to use the slicer for slicing, and then enter the crushing section.
02 Crushing system
After processing the raw materials through the conveying equipment into the bin to be crushed, where the general use of straw crusher, the raw material will be crushed to 2-3mm powder. This can ensure that the pelletizing effect of the granulator, but also to improve the calorific value of straw particles, to ensure that the straw particles can be fully combusted later.
03 drying section
The most critical technology for processing straw pellets is to adjust and control the moisture content of straw. It is necessary to measure the moisture content of the raw material first, and then dry the straw to the moisture content required for processing. According to the estimation, the most suitable moisture content of raw materials for processing straw pellets is around 15%. If the moisture content of your raw material is too high, it will affect the pelletizing effect, and the pellet burning effect is not good, so it is recommended that you can use the dryer to dry the raw material.
04 Pelletizing section
After drying, the material enters into the granulation section. The material is subjected to high temperature and high pressure in the pelletizing process, and is extruded from the die hole under the extrusion of pressure rollers and ring dies. RICHI Machinery straw pellet mill is customized by combining the characteristics of straw, and is equipped with arch-breaking silo and mandatory feeder, which prevents the material from arching and ensures that the material can enter the pelleting chamber to complete the pelleting process smoothly. If you have pelletizing needs, this is the pelletizer for you.
05 Cooling and packing system
The straw pellets extruded from the mold hole have high temperature and high humidity, which are easy to break. It is necessary to use cooling machine to cool the straw pellets to room temperature before baling. The cooled straw pellets can be baled and weighed and bagged according to your requirements.

FAQ of straw pellet machine
how much does a straw pellet mill cost?
Generally the price of straw pellet mill is between $10,000-$50,000, the larger the output, the more expensive the pellet mill price will be.
Users want to be able to choose a cost-effective straw pellet mill equipment, but in the selection of granulator must not only focus on the price of the pelletizer, or buy back the low price of low-quality pelletizers not only make out of the poor quality of straw pellets, after-sales service is also not guaranteed, it seems that the price is preferential, but in fact, the loss caused by the loss should not be underestimated.
In order to avoid users being deceived, it is recommended that users choose a regular large-scale straw pellets machine manufacturers, you can go to a number of manufacturers on-site inspection, a comprehensive comparative consideration before making a decision.
What kind of raw materials can be pressed by straw pellet mill?
Straw pellet mill has wide applicability and can press a wide variety of crop raw materials and biomass raw materials. Here are some of the raw materials we summarize that the straw pellet mill can handle.
- Corn stover, rapeseed straw, rice straw, soybean straw, wheat straw, cotton straw, rape straw and other agricultural straw waste.
- Grain crops such as soybean meal, fishmeal, corn, wheat, bran, etc.
- Biomass raw materials such as wood chips, pasture, rice husk, peanut shells, bamboo shavings, shavings, etc.
There are very many raw materials that can be processed by the rice straw pellet making machine, but what you need to pay attention to is the treatment of raw materials and sizes. If it is wood chips as raw material, it does not need to be crushed and dried, and can be put into the straw pelletizing machine for pelletizing directly after screening. But if the size of the larger humidity is high, then need to be crushed and dried.
