How to Select the Best Pellet Machine for Your Needs

1. Determine Your Production Requirements

Small-scale use (Home heating, small farms):
- 9KLP-125 (40-80 kg/h) – Ideal for light use, such as personal pellet production.
- 9KLP-150 (80-150 kg/h) – Suitable for households needing moderate pellet output.
- 9KLP-160 (100-200 kg/h) – Best for small farms with higher demand.
Medium-scale production (Larger households, small businesses):
- 9KLP-210 (200-300 kg/h) – Great for workshops or farms requiring steady production.
- 9KLP-230 (300-400 kg/h) – Higher efficiency for semi-commercial use.
Large-scale production (Commercial use, pellet resale):
- 9KLP-260 (400-600 kg/h) – The most powerful option for high-volume pellet manufacturing.

2. Consider Power Consumption & Efficiency

3-4 kW models (9KLP-125/150/160) – Energy-efficient for home use.
7.5-15 kW models (9KLP-210/230/260) – More power for continuous operation, ideal for businesses.

3. Evaluate Roller & Die Design

2-roller models – Cost-effective for light-duty pelletizing.
3-roller models – Better compression, higher durability, and smoother operation.
Larger die diameter – Increases pellet quality and production speed.

4. Spindle Speed & Material Compatibility

- 370 r/min (9KLP-125/150/160) – Best for softer materials like grass, straw, and feed.
- 260 r/min (9KLP-210/230/260) – Optimized for harder biomass like wood and sawdust.
