With the advancement of green agriculture and resource recycling strategies, efficiently handling farm waste such as straw, rice husks, and corn cobs has become the focus of biomass pellet manufacturing plants. The small pellet mill for farm using, capable of compressing loose raw materials into high-density pellets, not only solves the problem of farm waste accumulation and wastage faced by pellet plant manufacturers but also demonstrates huge value-added potential in clean energy, poultry feed, and organic fertilizer, becoming a key pellet manufacturing equipment for driving rural revitalization and farm income growth.
How to Start Farm-used Pellet Business
Small Pellet Mill Applications and Raw Materials
The small pellet mill efficiently processes various farm and forestry wastes. After being compressed into high-density pellets using a complete pellet production line, these raw materials can be converted into combustible or feed-grade pellets. This not only helps reduce waste in pellet plants but also provides higher-value resources for farm production.

Wide Applications of Pellets:
- Rural Fuel: Replaces firewood and coal, suitable for biomass pellet factories in fireplaces, greenhouse heating, etc.
- Poultry Feed: Increases feed conversion rates by 5%-10%, ideal for small-scale workshops and household pellet mills.
- Organic Fertilizer Base: Crop residues are pelletized and used for planting, promoting ecological agriculture.
- Retail Pellet Sales: Pellets can be packaged and distributed, suitable for building bagging retail pellet plants or pellet suppliers.
Explaining Different Role of Feed Pellets
The small pellet mill not only increases the added value of raw materials but also promotes the green transformation of pellet plants in agriculture. However, due to varying raw material moisture content or unsuitable particle size, several factors may prevent efficient pellet formation.

How to Choose the Right Small Pellet Mill?
Selecting the appropriate pellet manufacturing equipment is key to improving the production efficiency of biomass pellet plants and reducing costs for pellet processing plants. Based on raw material type, production scale, and operational requirements, here are some factors to focus on when choosing a small pellet mill:
Usage Scenarios Determine Mill Structure
- For home use and small workshops, a small pellet mill machine is recommended, occupying less than 1㎡, suitable for daily heating and small-scale feed processing. Medium-sized farms or cooperatives can opt for a ring die pellet mill, which supports continuous pressing of biomass pellet production lines and is highly adaptable to various raw materials.
- ABC Machinery offers multiple portable pellet manufacturing machines with quick-install chassis and dust covers, making them flexible for use in fields, farms, and other variable sites, improving pellet plant transport efficiency by 40%.
Moisture Content and Particle Size Affect Pellet Quality
- Maintaining moisture at 12%-15% and controlling particle size between 1-6mm can effectively avoid machine blockages, powdering, and energy wastage in the wood pellet production line.
- ABC's intelligent drying system, combined with online moisture monitoring devices, ensures moisture control accuracy of ±1%. The multi-stage crushing system with customizable screens ensures a 20% increase in pellet compaction rate.
Die Structure Determines Efficiency and Maintenance Convenience
- Flat die pellet mills are suitable for beginners, easy for one-person operation, with die replacement taking no more than 10 minutes and low maintenance costs for biomass pellet factories.
- Ring die pellet machines are ideal for continuous operations, running 24 hours without significant wear. Maintenance intervals can extend to over 500 hours.
- ABC's dies are made from high-density wear-resistant alloys, extending their lifespan by 30%. The temperature of the wood pellet manufacturing process remains below 60°C, effectively reducing die blockage risks due to overheating by over 90%, and maintenance frequency is reduced by 40% for wood pellet plant suppliers.
Power Drive Options Determine Operational Flexibility
- In areas with unstable electricity supply or remote regions, diesel-driven pellet mills are more practical. Compared to electric models, the power independence is increased by 100%, and the mill can operate stably in areas with no electricity grid coverage. The mobile model supports local processing in pellet plants, reducing raw material transport distances by 70%, and saving 20%-35% in comprehensive transport costs for portable biomass pellet plants.
- ABC Machinery's diesel-powered pellet mills feature a one-click start design, suitable for areas without electricity, and come with a mobile chassis. This reduces transportation and operational costs by 25% and enhances operational flexibility by over 2x.
Additionally, due to differences in operating environments, raw material types, and production plans, the selection of pellet mill plant structures can vary. ABC Machinery offers pellet trial production lines and one-on-one configuration services to ensure each customer selects the most suitable biomass pellet production plant, reducing factory construction risks from the outset.
