Yes, we bought a 15HP Chinese pellet machine and are using a 3/8” die. The main objective was to pelletize thinning slash, which is otherwise of negative value, and create a densified storable, transportable feedstock for building heating and process heat (char making co-product). Normally slash is too low in bulk density and consistency to be worth messing with. The first run of juniper slash pellets are fairly low density (25#/cf) but they are holding together well. I think the moisture content was a bit high and we expect to get to 35# at lower MC, which will be fine. I’m told by a “real" pellet guy that we’ll save electricity and the dies will last longer at 35# rather than 40# (the normal pellet stove density).
