It is always fair to say that you invest something at first with a small.

This logic is correct, in most cases. But talking about building a pellet plant, things are different.

First of all, you need to understand that, to start a pellet plant as a business, the capacity starts from 1 ton per hour at least.

Because making pellets requires a huge mechanical pressure to the pellet machine, this is not feasible for small household pellet mill, as the latter is designed just for small-scale, e.g. several hundreds of kgs. If you force the small pellet mill to work under heavy load, it’ll break very soon.

So, to do cost down is nothing to complain, but not in the key equipment.

For other supporting machinery, such as the cooling machine, the packing machine, they are not as necessary as pellet machine, if you want, you can even do packing by hand.

The budget of investing a pellet plant is not solely decided by the equipment, it also hugely varies by the feeding material.

For example, if the material is sawdust, things like hammer mill, or dryer is not always needed. While if the material is corn straw, you will have to buy the mentioned equipment for material treatment.
