Why to Make Straw Pellets? Wheat straw is the most important type of agriculture residue in the EU – about 144 million tonnes accumulate each year.
How to deal with those straw?
Burning straw is catastrophic for soil structure, burning of rice straw remains emits trace gases like carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, sulphur oxide and large amount of particulate matters, which adversely affect human health as well as the environment.
By making pellets from wheat straw a new kind of product is produced. This comes about as the organic materials form has been changed by grinding all the materials into small granules. This way not only is the density improved but also easy for transport. Straw pellets have the advantages of renewable, emission-reduction, low pollution and economical.

The thickness of wheat straw is much lower than wood, which implies it requires less energy to do the pressure. Grass pellet machine is the main equipment for straw pellets producing. We need consider moisture content in the straw,fibre strength, particle size and natural binders. All these influence the pellet quality.
Application of straw pellet
1. Straw pellet for animal feed
Straw pellets is a good pellet fodder for animals. It’s pressed at high temperature,which through tempering and gelatinization treatment. The pellets are dried in and out, so that the pellets have a grass flavor which is an ideal food for all ruminant, cattle sheep, horse and rabbit.
2. Straw pellet for fuel
Straw pellets are considered as a natural renewable source of environmentally friendly fuel. One ton pellet fuel usually left only about 8/10 Jin ash content after consumption; there is no smoking during the whole burning process.Fuel pellets can be used for both boilers of individual houses and industrial boiler houses.
3. Straw pellet for animal bedding
In addition to be used as feed pellets, it can also be used as animal bedding, such as horse bedding, cat litter, etc. Straw pellets are natural product without additives and of high hygienic, they are the best products for animal bedding.Come to see the
