For the sake of better pellets quality, binding agents are used in pellet production. Pellets without binding agent may easy get decomposed during storage, forming hazardous gases such as carbon monoxide and hexanal. Therefore, it is practical to use a lignin binder to make pellets when it concerns the profitability of production and occupational problems such as wood dust exposure, fire and explosion risk, coherence, etc.
Adding a small amount of Lignin binder when making your own pellets is aimed to improve the pellet quality and avoiding decomposition and at the same time to reduce energy consumption, improve pellet making machine productivity and increase the service life of consumable spare parts like roller and die of a pellet mill.
