There Ceccato Olindo 5.5 HP three-phase pellet press is a machine designed to transform wood into pellets. It is equipped with a 5.5 HP three-phase electric motor, which allows it to produce a large quantity of pellets in a short time.

The machine has a loading hopper where you introduce the material to be crushed. It’s a bit like putting stale bread in a toaster and perfectly browned toast comes out.

The pellet press is designed to work with wood shreds of approximately 8 mm in diameter. To obtain this shredded material, you can use a Ceccato Olindo Tritone wood chipper, which can produce shredded material of the size suitable for the pellet press.

Once you have obtained the crushed material, you must let it dry before introducing it into the press hopper. The optimal humidity level for a compact pellet is between 10 and 14%.

Finally, once the crushed material is dry, you can introduce it into the press hopper to transform it into pellets. It is important to note that you must only introduce pure and clean products, without any element likely to damage the machine (plastic, metal).

The result may vary depending on the type of wood used and the degree of drying of the shredded material. For the manufacture of pellets, the constant presence of an operator is necessary to feed the press.

It is important to note that wood chips or sawdust are not suitable for processing into pellets, because the length exceeds the dimension necessary for the proper functioning of the pellet machine and the thickness is less than the minimum required. The only raw material that must be used is the ground material as indicated in the explanations above.

The pellet manufacturing process

Making pellets at home is a process with four main steps:

1. Grinding wood with the branch shredder : It is first necessary to carry out an initial grinding of the wood. We recommend using Ceccato Olindo Tritone branch shredders, in fact these machines have the possibility of working with an 8 mm calibration grid in order to produce shredded material with dimensions suitable for the pellet press.
2. Perform a second grinding : The product from the first grinding must be introduced again into the wood chipper. This time the calibration grid must be 8 mm so that the crushed material has the size suitable for the pellet press.
3. Drying of the ground material : Since the wood to be chopped must be green, the product obtained after the second grinding must be allowed to dry before any use. We remind you that the optimal humidity level for a compact pellet is between 10 and 14%.
4. Transformation into pellets : Once the crushed material is dry, it must be introduced into the hopper of the press to transform it into pellets. We recommend that you only introduce pure and clean products, without any element likely to damage the machine (plastic, metal).
