A new type of wood pelleting machine has been developed by German plant making company Amandus Kahl to handle greater capacities and produce a more efficient product.
Three years ago, a large US-based wood pelleting firm had Amandus Kahl present them the modified wood pelleting press type 60-1250 with 600 hp – an energy output comparable to that of the fastest muscle cars – and was soon convinced of its capacity (on average 6 t/h) and its sturdiness. Today, 37 Kahl flat-die pelleting presses are in operation in their four works.About 60 Kahl pelleting presses produce a total of 3 million t of wood pellets per year in the US – most of them industrial pellets used in power plants for cofiring with fuels such as coal. This year, Amandus Kahl has accepted an order for another 24 presses by the same company, which will be commissioned next year.
