● Easy storage and transportation. The shape of peanut shell is cylindrical and it has the smooth surface with a  slight sheen. Peanut shell pellets are easy to store and transport.

● Heat value. Peanut shell pellet has large densities, so the combustion efficiency is high. When burning, the central temperature of peanut shell pellets can reach 1100 degree and heat value can reach 3700 ~ 4000 kcal/kg.

● Less ash. Because of high pressure molding and larger density,the peanut shell pellet is heat- resistant with high firepower and less ash. The ash content of peanut shell pellets is less than 8%. During burning, the pellets can keep shape, no distortion and fall apart. The pellet fuel ash can be as the potash fertilizer to return into soil.

● Environmental protection.Using the peanut shell pellet fuel can reduce environment pollution.When burning  the pellet, ash discharge concentration is less than 40 mg / m3. So use the pellet fuel can improve air quality and avoid greenhouse effect.

● Screening: To improve the peanut shell pellet quality, you should take the raw material into the screening  machine to screen out the impurity.

● Crushing: Suitable size is important to press pellets. The suitable size is 6-8mm.

● Drying: Peanut shell pellets production is very strict with the water content of raw material.

● Pelletizing: Pellet machine is the key equipment for the production. Vertical ring die wood pellet machine is the best choice.

● Cooling and screening: The hot peanut shell pellets are easily broken, so after the pellets out from the pellet mill, it should be taken them into the cooling system. Until the peanut shell pellets have the normal temperature can bag them and be put in storage.
