In pellet production moisture plays an integral role, too much or too little moisture and quality pellets cannot form. Sufficient moisture is required to build sufficient pressure, to generate heat to release the natural lignin from within the material to bind the material together to create a firm dense pellet.
Most materials to produce a quality pellet prefer a moisture percentage between 10-15%; in many cases it appears to be 13-15%. The dry weight test, which I featured a video on, is a very accurate test, however it’s quite slow. I have been looking at various moisture meters for many months, and the problem has always been finding a meter suitable to the wide variety of milled materials used in pellet production, and being able to test the finished pellets. For the finished pellets to burn efficiently, ideally they should have moisture below 10%.
A new moisture meter has come on to the market made by Doser, this unit has been specifically designed to measure wood chip, cereals, other granules and pellets. This wide range of abilities makes the unit ideal for pellet production.
