These machines are used to process different substances including peanut shells, sawdust, leaves, straw, wood and so on. They work on many different raw materials, regardless of size.
There are two main types: ring die pellet mills and flat die pellet mills.
The pellet dimensions can be customised by using a hammer mill.
