Improving the Conventional Pelletization Process to Save Energy during Biomass Densification

A pellet mill is currently the most frequently used method for producing pellets using either a ring die or a flat die. In the densification process, a great amount of energy is required to avoid spring-back and to overcome the friction between the material and the channel surface of the die. Howeve...
