For feed pellets, aim for 12–15% moisture before pelleting; steam conditioning inside the mill then lifts it to a workable 16–18%. For wood or biomass pellets, keep the raw material at 10–15% (best around 12–15%). A handheld probe-style grain/feed moisture tester reads corn, soybean, wheat or wood sawdust in seconds — no lab, no waiting, just poke and read.
We do not just ship a machine. With every flat-die or ring-die pellet mill we supply, we recommend a matched moisture tester and walk you through the target moisture for your specific material. Customers report fewer die jams, lower energy per ton, longer die and roller life, and pellets that stay intact instead of turning back to powder.
Browse our full pellet mill range on the homepage and tell us your material — corn, alfalfa, wood sawdust or straw — and your hourly target. We will size the mill and bundle the moisture tester so your first batch is right. Contact us on WhatsApp +8613526462915 or email admin@weiweimachinery.com.
