Iowa entrepreneur, Cindy Williams, owns Pellet Pros, a home-use pellet mill. There are several sizes of personal-use machines that have a production range from 65 pounds per hour to 600 pounds per hour with starting prices of around $2,600. Hammer mills are used to reduce the size of biomass, or organic material, before it is put through the pellet mill that actually makes the pellets. Hammer mills will grind straw, switch grass, wood chips and corn stalks and other biomass to size for all pellet mills. Williams will work with clients to develop the proper ‘recipe’ for making good fuel pellets.
