Pellets made from renewable raw materials
For the production of wood pellets, the robustness of the machine and its components plays an essential role. We have put special effort into the main shaft, the rings and the machine stands.
We have developed two machines specifically for wood pelleting - Graf Monster and Graf Gorilla.
Whether soft or hard wood, our machines are designed for a continuous output of up to 70KW/h.
Both our Monster with belt drive and Gorilla with direct drive, without gear or V-belt, provide a very stable process.
They also ensure good pellet quality with a high PDI
(Pellet Durability Index).
The production of pellets from renewable raw materials is becoming increasingly important. The increasing demand, climate change and strict environmental regulations as well as the high raw material and energy costs make the use of operating cost optimized technology more inevitable than ever.
In recent years, in addition to the technology for combustion, the production of wood pellets has also undergone constant development. We have taken care in the development to be very energy efficient. Compared to conventional drive systems, our pellet mills save about 20% energy.
Our system monitoring is also innovative. Slip and temperature can be easily controlled. Thus, a quick regulation or adjustment is possible.
These two factors are important for:
- more safety
- longer lifetime of the machine
- stable production results
- less maintenance work and costs
- less revisions and spare parts needed
- avoidance of production downtimes
- reduction of energy demand

Pellets for the animal feed industry
The quality requirements for the production of compound feed are very high. In addition to the requirements of laws and regulations, we want to offer our customers the best parameters for pellet production in the production process.
The range of feed pellets is extremely wide, for numerous species of farm and domestic animals and also depending on the feeding phase.
The choice of raw materials used plays a major role, both for the machine and for animals.
Size, hardness and internal structure of pellets often have a great influence on feed intake.
Pellets have many positive properties and quality is crucial.
All this sets us complex tasks, which we can solve together with decades of experience and reliability.
- Better feed intake and digestibility
- Better energy utilization and growth rate
- Increased animal welfare and lower failure rates
- Feed hygiene and fewer diseases
- No segregation of feed ingredients
e.g. in poultry fattening
- Better flowability
- Less feed losses
The modular design of our pelleting plant covers almost all pelleting applications and allows us to control these parameters, depending on pressure, moisture content, temperature, time and rotation speed during the production process, according to the customer's needs.
With the Graf conditioner you get your feed clean / hygienized on any machine.
An optimal feed is crucial for development and the performance of the animals.
