How to make you own alfalfa pellets use a small pelletizer?
When you are going to pelletize, the first step is drying alfalfa until the moisture is about 15%. The wetter or dryer material will affect the final quality of biomass pellets. You can resort to a drier, so that you can get the ideal moisture quickly. Or you can dry it naturally.
The second step you have to do is grinding alfalfa. The original form of alfalfa is not appropriate for the alfalfa pellet mill to process directly. When you grind it to small powders, the pelletizing rate and pellets quality will be better.
Then the most important step is coming. Put the alfalfa to the feeder of alfalfa pellet mill, they will be compressed to columned holes on the die and discharged from the machine.
