The sawdust was a little wet and its too fine. So by passing it through again, it goes through die a little tighter. heat starts to build from friction and at 180 degrees the pellets start to bind. The stuff i was experimenting with was difficult to bind. As the moisture gets closer to 10/12 per cent the steam turns to smoke and dust is almost nil, and hard pellets form.OK so what did I miss? first sawdust then you ran the pellets through again? A dumb question maybe, but WHY?
Its all trial and error, more error than trial i think.
Made rougly 1/2 ton from that sawdust, wasnt as easy as i hoped.
A tree service was working in my area,they were happy to unload in my back yard. So now i can work with larger material, should go well.
