A useful raw-material review describes more than the name of the residue. Moisture, particle-size distribution, bark or ash content, contamination and feeding behaviour can change the preparation process and pelletizing duty. The guides in this section help you compare biomass material families and understand why a different sawdust batch may behave differently in the same mill. Start with the materials reference when assessing an available residue. Follow the batch-change guide when a change in material coincides with higher machine load or lower output. Keep representative photos, measurements and information about supply consistency available for a project discussion. Planning references should be checked against the actual material and equipment; biomass-fuel guidance should not be treated as an animal-feed formula or as a guarantee of machine suitability.

Review a Sawdust Batch Change
Compare mass feed rate, bulk density, moisture, composition and particle-size distribution when pellet mill load changes after a new sawdust batch.
