This is a video of a Tatano pellet boiler burning a mixture of, wood pellets, wheat straw pellets, barley straw pellets, reed canary grass pellets, miscanthus pellets and cardboard pellets. All of these pellets are known collectively as biomass pellets. These fuel pellets have been produced using the PelHeat Mobile Pelletizer, which can produce biomass fuel pellets from a wide variety of materials. The unit is based on a small single axel trailer and features a hammer mill for size reduction and a flat die pellet mill to compress the material into pellets. The units are powered by Perkins diesel engines, which can also use bio-diesel.
Biomass pellets are a carbon neutral fuel source, as they are sourced from the carbon cycle they do not introduce extra carbon in to the cycle like fossil fuels. With the PelHeat Mobile Pelletizer local biomass resources can be used to produce biomass pellets, which are then used in the local community. This produces a cheaper fuel for the consumer, provides income and jobs for the local economy, utilizes local biomass resources and waste resources, and reduces dependence on foreign oil.

Making Biomass Pellets from Peat Moss
One biomass material that is quite abundant is peat moss. In this video I use an Apted Technologies ATFP230 Diesel Powered (22hp) pellet mill and hand fed the 30 pounds of the pete moss in about 6 minutes. With a steady auger feed I believe I could have easily doubled that amount. As with any material, if you feed too much material it will either bind up and stall the mill, or it will ball up and slip and you end up cleaning out from in front of the wheels with a stick. Thats no good, too time consuming and too little production in the end! The peat moss when pelletized in this fashion is reduced in volume by a factor of about 6 to 1 while the weight is not affected. These peat moss pellets might serve very effectively in the gardening business, as an absorbent, or as a fuel for a barbeque, or a wood pellet stove or furnace, or as a fuel for a boiler to make steam and run an electrical generator and hydronic heating system. They would be exceptional in a combined heat and power application. If anybody wants to buy a pellet mill or learn about making pellets I have products available.

I can provide anything you need to make pellets. Dryers, Grinders, Conveyors, Sifter Sorters, Magnetic Filters, Dust Filters, Cyclones, Conditioners, Pellet Mills (both flat plate and ring die style) Pellet Coolers, and Bagging Systems manufactured to your specifications or mine. I am also available for consultation to build an entire plant if you would like. But don”t call me to video a wedding. As you can see, I am not very good at it. But you must admit, the picture quality is pretty good. It was recorded on April 17, 2009 at 9PM in Anchorage, Alaska using a Flip Video camcorder. Keep an eye out here for more videos. I intend to pelletize many different products and keep track of how well they pelletize.
